I like Arthur, and his magnetic ability to hold onto the ball is very impressive, but you get the feeling that we are using him in the wrong way as that DLP. We still look very exposed on counters especially with someone like Rabiot who wants to push on a bit. Arthur would look better with a DM behind him and trying to make more forward runs and passes. Pirlo is using him like...Pirlo, but he doesn't have that diagonal pass vision so far.
All in all pleased with the half. We deserve to lead but tactically they did ok until Ronaldo scored his half chance. Now the game is much more spread in our favour.
