I don't get why people shit on him, he has improved lately. We work with what we have.
Yeah, we have to.
I am shocked of the defensive (un)awareness of some of our midfielders, and by some I mean Rabiot and Arthur. Rabiot didn't follow Villarreal's mids movement for at least 3-4 times during that match, and one time it cost us dearly. I paid special attention to Arthur's movement against Spezia, and he was doing all the wrong things.
I can't find many examples in the highlights, but I have one at 2:44 in the video below.
Just watch how he needlessly runs sideways and lets the mid who was running right behind him make a free run into our box.
I'm sure that Allegri hates this and he tries to explain these basics to Rabiot and Arthur, but they just don't seem to understand.
