We really need a proper wing back for this formation. Much more than another cm IMO
Cuadrado is a proper WB and A.Sandro will return soon while Fabrotta is actually doing well. We just need to play better than we had against Roma.
CM - It depends who you want to replace - Ramsey?! Some say he will be replaced by Dybala while some say Dybala is actually our starting forward with Ronaldo and Morata is actually a bench player.
Rabiot Mcdonalds Bentancur Arthur - Tough to say there
The American is good defensively but is prone to mistakes from what I have seen
Rabiot - On and Off.. You could never know if he performs or not
Bentancur - Im surprise to see him on the bench as he was our best CM last season. Maybe its a formation thing and maybe its Pirlo`s evaluation..
Arthur - For now he is quality unknown.
None of these players is a monster and I think we need one monster in midfield in order to take a leap forward.
Gosens - Yeah nice depth but still same 11 (A.Sandro Gosens whoever starts wont change much between them)
Chiesa - He can do Cuad job differently - He would be an added value but not as someone in the central area.
The question is about Kulusevski - If we believe in him and want him to start he should play Ramsey`s role as its a crime playing him so far from goal - in this case we are left with two players in the CM position - Right now I cant really call any of them the stand out player (maybe Arthur will be but its unknown).
This is why I think these 2 positions are crucial.
We can go on the offensive and we can go for the defensive.
