My naive hope for this seasons salvation is Arthur miraculously coming in and playing like a top midfielder like he once was supposed to be.
4231 with him and Locatelli too lightweight? I just dont want to see Rabiot, Bentancur and Mckennie on the field anymore. There is no hope for them.
It's not like any one of those three provide any real protection in defense. Might aswell put Arthur there to hold the ball untill Loca is available to recieve it and move things forward.
