Enough Bentancurs and McKennies.

If this guy is fit, he needs to start. Yeah he’s no world beater, but he can actually control and pass a ball and isn’t afraid of it. Those other two actively hurt us every time they’re on the field.

Should be tried at least, Miralem was also considered offensive cm before joining us and Max made him pure registration or even DM at times, when they played duo with Khedira, in our famous 4231.

Pjanic had always around 2 tackles and 2 interceptions per game at a younger age, was among the top in distance covered as well, and played nearly every game. And even he had a monster Mandzukic and a younger Cuadrado supporting him, next to Khedira. Current Arthur and current situation is much different to Pjanic (and worse too) and those times

I'd like to see him get fully fit and start every game..but we are still one quality midfielder short.

Ideally loca would play as the LCM, Arthur on the other side and we'd have another player for regista.

Did well in his 10 min. Finding players in space every time he gets the ball and accelerates our play. Its very simple, but our other midfielders cant make a turn/dribble to pass a marker. He needs to play more if we intend to try controlling games one day.

If he plays, he needs to play more advanced. Preferably in 433 next to Loca and a workhorse like Bentancur/McBurger. As a holding mid in 442, he will be a disaster, midfield will be wide open just like under Pirlo.

Its difficult to find a balanced formation with out best players. 3 CMs and Dybala means its neither 433 nor 442 (or 4231, whatever you want to call it).

We have absolutely no set 3 for midfield. Use to be Pirlo, Pogba, Vidal guaranteed. Only curveball was Marchisio fitting in in rotation.

No idea from game to game who our midfield will be. I see no sparks in midfield...from anyone.
