Arthur has made 30 appearances between serie A/CL/and Coppa, let’s not act like he’s been on the shelf. You‘d think he could fit in ONE assist somewhere.
He only has 1000 minutes played in Serie A. Of course he has been on the shelf. Bentancur has more than 2200...
And when played he drops between our center backs because no one else handles the ball. He's obviously not what we want but very clearly better than Bentancur, who keeps getting played by Pirlo.
isn’t that exactly what Bentancur does as well? Somehow he still managed to make a couple plays happen. Even washed up Pjanic was better (no I don’t want him back)

Not in my book. He doesn't even drop that deep because he can't handle the ball there. That's why he's always marked in front of the defence and with his lack of ball-handling must play it back. It's not exactly his fault either he's being asked to do shit he can't.
Arthur's level will only be clear when/if he actually can stay healthy and we use him consistently.
We were defending and he didn't have passing duties since we didn't have any possession. He's usually good in these situations, or in situations when Pjanic had all the distribution duties. Give him playmaking duties, and he's a donkey.
Allegri saw this right away and he used him smartly. Sarri followed up on that. Pirlo didn't, or perhaps he didn't have a choice with Arthur and McKennie having the passing ability of a blind 90-year-old cripple.
