it’s not an either or situation. A top club should be able to attack multiple ways. It’s easy to gameplan against one dimension.

To who? He's not a AM, he doesn't play so high to pick up runs behind the defense. I explained in my previous post what his passing options are. If he played higher up infront of Rabiot, and McKennie or Morata made runs behind the defense constantly, and he never picks them up, I'd say he didn't do well. But we play a 442 where our CF and SS are physically outmatched, our CF can't win a single duel and our SS is unfit and all over the place, yet you blame him for not being able to break the lines?
You're stuck in the 90s if that is how you evaluate a performance of a midfielder 
. It's quite rare to see those sort of balls played with any regularity in todays game because most teams are set up to defend against them. Only in counterattacking situations when the defending team hasn't got in to a good defensive shape yet you can see such balls played.

If current modern game is sideways passing, keep possession by minimal risk so passing back to the CB then we are obviously CL finalists.
He's not a regista though. His job is to do the defensive work and make passes to open teammates, not create something out of nothing. Or is that what you expect of him?
How often was the entire squad in the opposition half today? And where was Bentancur in that case? And what were the other players doing when he had the ball at his feet?
We are a static team with no actual game plan, you want our DM to create stuff out of thin air. I think you're being unreasonable

Yeah it's harsh to blame our central mids for this game, they did their jobs pretty well. Our wide midfielders and attackers all had much worse games this time around. Dybala had a decent 15 minutes and then disappeared, McKennie and Chiesa ghosted for most of the match and Morata had a bad day overall.
The most seasoned CM we have in this club is Bentancur based on the years at the club. He has learned nothing. He provides nothing in any position on the midfield line you place him. He has been coached from Max to Sarri to Pirlo and he has shown ZERO growth. He has no leadership. No vision. No technical ability. Horrible at decisions where a brain is needed the most. He makes poor decisions.
There is NOTHING likable about this player. How the hell is it unreasonable to expect more from the ONE CM we have had that has plenty of years under his belt?

Look man
Chiesa Bentancur Rabiot Mckennie
Dybala Morata
Morata lost like every single duel today, Palombo owned him hard. Dybala is all over the place and not fit enough yet. And they had numbers in defense anyway, 3 CBs vs Dybi and Morty. They press hard when we have the ball, they have numbers through the middle and we have numbers and quality over them wide. Now you're Bentancur and get the ball there. Wat do? I'd pass it to Chiesa/Cuads, or back to the CBs if they are covered. Next best option is passing to Rabiot who can carry the ball forward technically, but he never does, or just drifts to the left with it. We can't play this game unless we get more players that know how to play and move in the final 3rd
