How can a player who has everyday a ball on his feet since over 25 years has such a bad ball control.
I agree that he isnt our problem, but hopefully he leaves in the summer. Is this management aware how mediocre our midfield is?
There is Bentacur who has good potential and occasionally show flashes of what he could be capable of. But he isnt there yet.
Rabiot is hit n miss and I dont think he improves us much. He is an almost player to me, almost can beat his man, almost an assist... think Pereyra but even worse version.
Pjanic is inconsistent, isnt involved in general play as much as he should be. He needs to be focal point in the middle but when he gets man marked, he disappears. He is soon to be 30 yo but he is by far our best midfielder. Which is telling.
Ramsey, injury prone and havent really clicked over the past few weeks he has played. There is always fear of another injury looming over.
Matuidi, he can run but his football abilities are non existant, he cant control the ball, cant pass and if his only good trait is to chase down opponents then we have an issue. He isnt even good at tackling, often flying into tackles and missing..woeful
Khedira... I liked him for his football intelligence and he could make a difference once but those days are gone...
