didn't check how accurate, but guy's usually reliable. feel free to correct it if it's wrong. it says that rabiot is first in duels (doesn't say in which competition or period), also best in squad for pressing and ball recoveries, and 3rd for aerial duels. and he also adds that might explain why rabiot keeps playing.
i checked sofascore for rabiot's stats, it says that rabiot wins 5.4 duels per matches (60%, both of that aren't bad actually) of which 3.8 are ground duels, 1.6 aerials, avg tackles 1.6, avg interceptions 0.6. duels look much more than i remember from loca or bentancur (both should be around 3-something duels won per match), might check later. anyway, pls discuss.
He's still lazy and soft. Anyone endorsing this abomination of a football player, even worse, wanting him to stay, needs to have his/her head reexamined. Unfortunately, I doubt any club out there is stupid enough to offer money for him, and the ones that could use a mediocre embodiment of indolence probably can't afford his wages (and he probably wouldn't want to go there anyway - as he erroneously sees himself as a top player who should be competing at the highest levels).
Maybe those are right and he is decent defensively. But Matuidi was way more limited than him, played the same position and somehow still offered us something going forward. That was his first assist in how long? For a midfielder that gets the number of games he does and is not playing as anchor, his stats are dog.
Always offered an overlapping run to the winger and centre forward, got in the box. Even if you are limited, if you make that many runs into the box, the opposition is forced to do something and you will get rewards.
Currently we have games where our centre forward barely gets into the box let alone the CM.

i remember his runs from his time at psg. he also was great in duels, tackled a lot, and was much better in interceptions. now he simply is lazy and unpredictable. my guess is that the only thing keeping him in the lineup is his fitness. then again, if he put in an effort he'd be tired or injured.
still the first on my summer "for sale" list, by quite a margin.
