As someone who follows PSG: Could you tell us what you think Rabiot ideal position is? Is it as a DM, the controlling midfielder, advanced midfielder or? My concern with him is that I dont think he is good in the final third.
His natural qualities are better as a DM.
He is better at anything about defending than attacking.
Hé is no Verratti but he doesn't lose the ball often, even when pressured.
His big problem is he is lazy. Will say it is too hot or too cold for an excuse not to put in efforts.
He touches the ball too much. Doesn't pass fast enough to my liking.
He is decent at heading the ball, his shooting technique is average (doesn't score much from long shot).
So imo, the further back he is, the better since he is very good at positioning, defending, not losing the ball and terrible at tracking back lol.
Also, he rarely does key passes. Better to pair him with a guy that is good at it.
Rabiot mostly plays short passes.
He likes going forward though. He used to have a very good relationship onfield with Neymar. They were doing a lot of 1-2 passes to put one another in good position for the final shot or pass. So you should pair him with someone that is good technically and like to do that.
