6 is defensive midfielder not a centre back.

Anderson has the 6 is working next to Rice is working and looks good overall partnership 

Tuchel is playing a balanced team with players playing in their correct position. No shoehorning of players to get them in. 

Looks a good overall team. 

Eze must go to.the world cup. Gives you different type of player in a couple of roles

Yeah.... Theres a conventional view that the defensive player is the deeper midfield partner, and the offensive one further forward. But often it works better the other way round. 

Tugay and Savage were like that. Tugay would drop off and pick up the ball deep and do his incredible passing. Savage would push up and closing down ahead of him to win the ball back.

Think Anderson and Rice partnership works. Anderson is a clever football. Very good player and only going to get better

Anderson is a good player but I am not convinced that he is beyond good Premier League standard. 

He also doesnt play as deep for Forest so it isnt necessarily a position hes most comfortable in. Against poor to awful opposition, thats not been tested at all so far in an England shirt and hes had free reign really. Against better teams, I would wonder how he would fare. I do think that Wharton is more well suited to that role as he plays it every week.
