Here, but it won't prove much. Bentancur certainly isn't a better passer than Pirlo. He just makes less complicated passes. McKennie's percentage though is really humiliating.

1. Arthur 89.2%
2. Bentancur 87.1
3. Vidal 87
4. Pirlo 86.9
5. Pjanic 86.7
6. Marchisio 86.1
7. Locatelli 86.1
8. Pogba 83.4
9. Rabiot 83.3
10. McKennie 75.3
Oh for sure, that’s why we’d have to know percentage of long balls, difficult passes, forward passes, etc. Locatelli, Marchisio, Pirlo completing 86-87% of a large number of difficult passes is very impressive.

How the heck can a professional footballer be this bad at passing. And a midfielder at that. He makes the least number of passes/90 and somehow still the worst completion percentage by 8% lol. It’s not like he’s even attempting difficult passes. :lol:

He's basically like if a wide receiver played soccer. 99th percentile in receiving progressive passes.

A wide receiver who rarely gets in the end zone. Too bad Futbol doesn’t have first downs lol

This guy just doesn’t bother me as much as some. He’s a solid squad player.
That’s just it. He’s a A squad player, a rotation piece. And as a 4th or 5th mid with upside, he’s great. As a starter he’s trash and a big part of why this squad is so poor.

He has pretty good vision, many one-touch passes and knowing exactly what his surrounding is.

Big difference compared to last year under Pirlo when he often looked lost, although is was in a different position.

Left side seems to fit him pretty good aswel.
