Seriously we all know this, "he can keep the ball", but noticed anything else out there with him? You know what, I noticed a pattern, Arthur is benched, people clamour for him to start, he starts and is useless, and people curse him and clamour for Bentancur to start, he is dogshit and gives ball away and people clamour for Rabiot to start instead, the biggiest pussy of them all. See a pattern?
I put Arthur last in the pecking order of our shit pile, yes he can keep the ball, but he cant win a single duel on or off the ball, defend, nor has ANY interest in ever attacking, let alone making a forward pass. He has alot of skill with the ball, but it means nothing with all the rest are such glaring flaws. Depending on matchup you can give him minutes to do ok, but in general, he is the weakest link so far. A dogshit Bentancur actually still defends, a dogshit Rabiot atleast wins most of his physical duels, both of them go up to join attacks etc. What does a dogshit Arthur give you? Keep ball around same 5 meters circle?
Lets not forget it all just because he is benched next game, and the other guys starting too are having sbpar games again.
