Arthur (37 Viewers)

Funny thing is bernadeschi looked like he foul throwed the ball to Arthur leading to the mistake.
So never mind playing from the back, we have idiots who can't even take a throw in.

They cant even think for themselves anymore. They do not realize that Pirlos tactics are shit and persist in doing dangerous passes in our area

That's on Pirlo, indeed.
We are all shouting at Bentancur and blaming him for those fuck ups, but how many mistakes of this kind do you think we'd have made in the past if we forced Vidal or Pogba to play in front of the defense and were instructed to backpass so close to our goal? How many such mistakes if McKennie, Rabiot or Ramsey played there instead of Bentancur? Just as many, if not more. Why wasn't Bentancur making these mistakes when Pjanic played in front of our defense?

you’re giving Bentancur too much credit, he’s always been a low IQ player.

The fact Arthur made a similar mistake to Bentancur's within a month clearly shows Pirlo's ignorance rather than the players themselves.

This reminds me of the one time Conte was screaming at Caceres to pass back from the WB position which lead to a goal(or dangerous chance, can't remember) from the opposition. These coaches are so obsessed with keeping possession it forces the team to some stupid passes. I blame fraudiola for this

I don't think Arthur even knows how to boot it up the field if he wanted to.

Yeah, never my favorite. I cruised through this thread earlier today and the posts in 2017, 18, 19 were like: "Excellent, except for...", and then in the next match "Bad performance, except for that pass/shot/goal/tackle". Never a completely great, or completely bad match. In Allegri's time he was a youngster who played hot and cold, but Allegri still liked him and saw the potential. Otherwise he wouldn't have played him on 67 matches in two seasons. Max liked this kid. A similar story continued in the first half of 2019-20, and then a fiasco. Once the team became dysfunctional after Covid and throughout this season, Bentancur became one of its weakest links.
I do think, though, that it is connected with his role in the team. Our free fall started with that defeat against Milan (4:2) and Bentancur replaced Pjanic in that deep playmaker role on more than a half of the matches in last season's finish. This year he's mostly used in that deep playmaking role.

Sure he can but he shouldn't be in that position in the first place. Same with Bentancur.

 

[IlCapitano]

Woud you change him with Jorginho? I know the guy is underrated here. BUT he is twice the player Arthur is.

I'd exchange him for Albin Ekdal, let alone an actual football player.

It’s funny a week ago Arthur was the savior now he’s the pariah. We can do better than him but I really don’t hate him as some of the other mids on the roster cough benta cough rabiot

We’ve all been desensitized and thus the bar is low

This really. He's a starter in this team any day of the week, when fit. But he really shouldn't be with some competition...

Sometimes you just have to cut your losses.

Well, according to certain statistics, Bentancur is our best midfielder. Just like Arthur, he single-handedly gifted a win to the opposition because of a stupid pass. Proverbial death blows to our season. And just like Arthur, he was on the pitch during the home loss against Barca. So he did lose a game before, and just lost us another.

While id like Arthur to be more forward thinking with his passing i wont shit on him for that poor passing across goal. It was shit..silly 5 yr old mistake and shouldn't happen. Does that constitute a sale, no.

He is one of the untouchables apparently...and I'm happy with that.
