Midfield is so important in modern football yet we have 5 bad MFs: Benta, Ramsey, Rabiot, McKennie, Arthur (a good performance once in a blue moon doesn't count). How can we achieve anything good with this midfield? Loca alone can only do so much. Same with Allegri. We should sell Kulu if the first offer comes.

----Cuadrado--Bonucci-Chiellini-Sandro-------
Chiesa--Locatelli--McKennie--Bernardeschi-
------------------Dybala-----Morata------------------------

100% serious about fielding Bernardeschi on the left. I don't care how terrible he is, at least he shows some heart and fight instead of that useless turd that Rabiot who simply cannot play properly in that position. No idea why Allegri keeps on insisting he plays there. We need to field as few of our horrible shit midfielders as we can and I'm honestly starting to believe that Bernardeschi is the best of the shit bunch.

Just ditch the 4-4-2, play 4-2-3-1 and field Chiesa on the left so we can have Cuads on the right. Chiesa is really dangerous from that side. Yesterday showed that once again.

They aren't underperforming, they just aren't any better.
Rabiot, Ramsey, Bentancur definitely were playing a lot better ~2-3 seasons ago than they are playing today. McKennie as well, but he's a Blasi level footballer anyway.

I don't think it's the fault of the manager exclusively, but I agree with Turk that the quality of Inters mid on paper is very similar to ours, even though I'd point out Calhanoglu as a good pickup for them that is probably a better player than anyone we can put in the AM position.

Well, if a player underperforms in third season in a row u could argue that this can be considered as his actual current level.
and I agree Brozovic is way above any of our mids and became a starter for strong Croatia team even before Conte coached him.

who exactly is the strong competition for places in the Croatia midfield lineup? Rabiot for sure is benching a lot more talented midfielders for France.

Yes but Deschamps always has his little preferences. You saw 3 years of Rabiot here, you should know his level. And you saw a lot of Brozovic I presume, he's obviously the better footballer
