You’re not worried about Dybala’s knee? His entire game is built around agility and tight turning....he loses that then what’s he got left? Speed? Power? Never had much of either

Everything here that I've read backs up the "it'll heal just fine but be annoying" thing, I just figured he would adapt and get used to it. With Arthur's though, it sounds like a lot more serious of an injury if surgery could be required but we play him anyway.

The struggles of the team are bad enough without having an injury crisis at the worst time of the season. With a mostly full squad we'd probably do enough to stumble through, but it's already been shown what a few injuries do to teams in this football.

    People can hate as much as they won’t, but the difference in passing abilities between Demiral and Bonucci are one of the reasons we came into problems against Hellas.

    We have a nonexistent midfield where NO ONE except Arthur can really move the ball forward. That's where Bonucci is critical b/c he can hit the ball up better than anyone else in our D-line. People really refuse to acknowledge Bonucci is key to our possession.

    Losing Bonucci is fine as long as you have De Ligt and Chiellini available, but Demiral is a terrible passer of the ball. Or it would be ok to have Demiral if he had a midfielder to play short to such as Arthur (or Pjanic in the past), but because it's Bentancur or Rabiot the ball is not protected well and he ends up forced to be a playmaker.

    Arthur moving ball forward
    Cuadrado is our playmaker. Bonucci slows the game so much and his defensive farts cancel out any positives that he brings. Hopefully we get Cuadrado, De Ligt and Arthur back soon.

    Playmaker and moving the ball forward are two different things. Bonucci plays the ball forward, but isn't a playmaker. The point is, people like Bonucci & Arthur get the ball to our offense where our actual playmakers are.

    I agree Cuads on his day can create on the flank and we REALLY miss that.
