Arthur (24 Viewers)

As it stands right now, Arthur is definitely not on the same level as Rabiot
.

The irony to compare him to Rabiot is hilarious. Rabiot looked like absolute shit at the beginning of his Juve tenure as well, maybe worse than Arthur has. Maybe learn from that and give the guy some time?

One worrying aspect I have noticed is that he seems quite bad defensively. Like seriously, he never wins the ball.

I don't know if it's his positioning or lack of athleticism that is the problem.

What? He made 6 tackles tonight, more than any other Juve player.

That’s why I said “as it stands right now”

Arthur does have talent. Let’s see what he does with it.

TBF i like him, we arent as vulnerable to pressing as we were with Pjanic. Its seems to be impossible to take the ball from Arthur.

Sadly the last part refers to his teammates as well. He needs to get rid of the ball much quicker. He was better last night than a week before, but it is far from enough at this level. Our midfield is still a huge issue.

I’m not sure on this guy... he’s a gladiator on the ball - but he doesn’t go forward...

He seems to completely lack vision, there were quite a few times test he could have made an attacking pass but he chose to go backwards/sideways to feet.

This guy is just passing it sideways.

He's excellent for our financial books but we can bring in Fagioli from the youth sector to do what this guy is doing, and maybe even do everything better.

Bentancur does this really well.

Opponents receive the ball very quick.

 

[Suns]

Our two man midfield with Rabiot or Bentancur gives away dangerous clear chance turnover every game, especially when pressed high in the first half. That is how we always concede. With Arthur that is not a worry, no turnovers or bad passes. With Rabiot and Bentancur I already expect a bad pass or dribble at some time.

the fact that there was only one functioning winger last night did not help at all, he needed to go back unless the Verona players didnt mark Cuads or guessed his runs, as Berna was nowhere to be seen, you could see the improvements on his attacking passes when we had Kulu and Frabotta. I trust that the ball will be kept on our possession when he has the ball, he does need to make those smarter touches and through balls though, and dribble forwards rather than sideways..

 

[Kopanja]

He doesn't lose the ball, that's everything he is good at so far. It's still early into the season.

 

[abstract]

i think he just doesn't have anyone to pass the ball too, that's what i see when he plays

 

[Badass J Elkann]

At least arthur doesn't panic, brings a sense of calmness in that midfield, most touches, most passes, most tackles last night. You'd be stupid to write him off.

 

[Nzoric]

Pjanic is miles ahead of this dud

*was

he never recovered from that injury, even though sarri was supposed to make him a great player finally

i reckon aouar would have been a clearly better fit than arthur though. unless arthur starts acting like arthur, and finds a way to play much more directly, that is.

Yeah, I saw clear improvement from him. He really put up quite a fight in defense. If he starts connecting better with his teammates, quicker finds solution and stops dancing as much and backtracking, he will do well.

If this guy gets close to the net, does he have a good/smart shot? Unfortunately we saw yesterday why Cuads can't be counted on.

That's not really his job, Arthur is never going to be a reliable midfield goalscorer but thats not why we bought him. He excels in ball possession/retention better than any midfielder we've had since Pirlo. But this is a new team, new system, new coach it'll take time like with every player. I still believe we got the better end of the deal.

 

[Pegi]

Big lols to everyone who can't see the fact, that it's nothing but mental for this guy. Everyone can see the technique is in there.

 

[MrMonkey]

Good to hear guys! i hope to eventually see some great passes leading to goals.
