We really need a useable alternative to Pjanic. Bentancur is simply not good enough and the way we play requires Pjanic otherwise we struggle to put passes together at all.

If Pjanic can't play then hook him for Rabiot, Bentancur is not suitable for this role and should be a box to box mid in this team not the deep lying midfielder.
There is some french dude on the bench i think

:agree:

Really poor, we haven't dealt with their press and we're especially poor when Ronaldo was isolated on the touchline. Things have improved when him and Dybala have switched positions often and played nearer each other.

Matuidi has been useless and Demiral niave . Although every player has been poor with the ball
It’s the lack of control in particular that is concerning. The only game we showed any initiative in was vs Napoli, which is odd as they are the team you would expect us to surrender possession against...

Really not sure what our direction is. We look lost and so disjointed. I’m also struggling to connect with the team this year. Feel completely unbothered by them.

To be fair to Bentancur he has barely played this season and the role he is playing is a lot about finding a rhythm in moving the ball. It's a hard job to just drop in and do if you are rusty.

I think it is fine to play Bentancur there but Sarri needs to realise he is not a like for like with Pjanic and doesn't have the same vision but he should add more defensive stability.

If we play Bentancur in that role, we need someone more creative than Matuidi next to him.

Nah, he does something very strange to constuct that situation. Had he tried for the ball it wouldnt have happened
It doesn't matter. A player is allowed to do that. Defender should be smart and pace himself. Dybala got a penalty in our match against Milan last season in a similar fashion.

There is no doubt that our possession play looks very ugly. Few instances during the 1st half revealed any modicum of good possessional fluidity, due primarily to almost what looks like everybody not making themselves available for a through ball from midfield.
Matuidi, to be fair did make a run into the Verona box and gave himself a chance to score but his ability to stay on his feet. Ronaldo, to his credit has made runs but getting the ball to him has been achingly difficult.

Matuidi, to be fair did make a run into the Verona box and gave himself a chance to score but his ability to stay on his feet is always labelled as undependable. Ronaldo, to his credit has made runs but getting the ball to him has been achingly difficult.
