Arthur

[te amo barca]

Think all our starting three CMs were absolutely terrible today.

 

[pregra]

Expected more of him today, with opponents actually pressing him and more space in general. His performances lately has been hyped through the roof; most midfielders can pass sideways when the opponents are content sitting back. Doesn’t seem to take any chances in his passes and yet to create a goalscoring opportunity this season? Literally just a player who takes the easy option 99 out of a hundred times.

 

[SeloBarca]

Stop overhyping him. Underwhelming performances for several matches.

Que?
Been our best midfielder in many games

Should have been the one to stay on the field and Rakitic beeing subbed instead.
But Valverde doesnt have the balls to do it.

He wasn't good today but this Midfield of ours, it's one of those that if even one of the players has an off day things don't look good in the middle.

Busi and Rakitic were way off on where they should be today which in turn also effects Arthur because you have to remember he's 22 years old and if the two other vets aren't doing well he's not going to do as well either.

Rakitic was clearly gassed and Busi has had his struggles in the past couple of games. Rotation is key to keep Busi and Rakitic fresh more often, but sadly Valverde doesn't seem to get that. We got a nice Fresh and Hungry Vidal to use and heck Alena needs a look in as well.

Had 3 midfielders. All of whom had an off day. Plus the struggle with the dynamics in the first half. When it rains it pours.

Yup, they're even the reason for the second goal. Bad timing that all 3 on off night

 

[jamrock]

I don't want to say he hasn't been a goof as some here have suggested.

But

He hasn't been as good as some here have suggested, but he is doing well.

 

[Barcilliant]

Was Mia against Betis. He still very raw. He still needs to work on many aspects of his game.

 

[Cule4life]

What a cute puppy

And the dog isn't bad either

 

[soul24rage]

Great analysis of Arthur of this season so far.

Starts for Brazil vs Uruguay.

Anyone who saw how he played?

Anyone who saw how he played?

He was all right, all though at times he held onto the ball too long. But to be fair in some cases he didn't really have many passing options.

Also had a good long ball attempt.

 

[Barcaman]

Hard to play much football against Uruguay anyway.
