I thought he did fine controlling the ball close to their goal. Yes, no resulting passes but by that time in the match Lazio had everyone guarding against the tying goal. Hopefully if fully healthy have him there at start. Even if with Bent and Rabiot in midfield. Not the accurate passer like Pjanic but appears quicker in going forward with play.

Play at LCM next to Pjanic and Bentancur at RCM. Rotate with Rabiot. Forget Emre in the desert and give Sami and Blaze brief cameos when these 4 are injured/need a rest. Sign top mids in the summer
Our LCM and RCM tend to go very deep up, in a normal case you'd expect CAM and CM to cover for them. But with a trident Dybala is unable to do it, not his fault. So we got our LB and RB basically alone, because Miralem is no speed demon, against two Lazio players. Lazio basically scored twice against us, because our LBs and RBs are simply outnumbered.
I'd say, don't invent a bicycle, play Ramsey as CAM and Rabiot as LCM, and play Dybala of course. Higuain is amazing, but we need balance.

in the late CL stages id actually go without both him and Dybala

Danilo Bonucci De Ligt Alex Sandro
Cuadrado Bentancur Pjanic Ramsey D. Costa
Ronaldo

its nice having 3 strikers on top form but it leaves us with zero width and we become too predictable. whats more likely though is both Costa and Ramsey will be out injured, and with our luck probably Cuadrado as well :sigh:
