he is the worst playmaker ever
Hes not the playmaker. Dybala is also the worst defender! Sell

Playing against good and bad teams changes his role completely. Against bad teams we dont want to move the ball up the field quickly most of the time. Getting into a track match plays into the hands of a worse team a lot of times.. So he receives the ball and makes the forwards drop in to defend. Our team pushes up and we can dominate the position the game takes place on the field.
Against better more attacking sides he needs to move the ball a bit quicker and break the lines better. Make more key passes and switch the point of play.
Im not saying hes the best at this but hes in charge of tempo and the speed at which we play. I highly doubt he has some fetish for backpasses and Sarri is telling him to play longer balls and he simply cant. Its a tactic to control the game. Look at what the forwards are doing whil he holds the ball,spins and umps it back. They all retreat back to help defend
