Arthur

[BusiTheKing]

I thought he cut it close/got a little lucky today--if the opponents were a tad quicker they would have been bad mistakes. I am not at all confident he is ready for athletic and physical opponents (City, Liverpool, Juve, Atletico).

Getafe are no slouches when it comes to pressing hard and getting physical. They're more intense than Juve for sure. He passed the test against Tottenham as well.

Seems to have regressed in his composure and ball retention since his injury. Probably nervous about losing his spot as a starter.

He hardly had any options in possession with Rakitic and Vidal (who was often on the right flank) alongside him.

hes the real deal, not overrated

 

[Barcelondoner]

No

Someone agrees with me A smart one, then

 

[Barcelondoner]

The guy is good at ball retention, but he doesn't dare make mistakes. Plays so conservatively.

Has he a single assist to his name yet?

Not that I think he's a bad player, but the hype surrendering his name is there. At least among the Barca fanbase.

Definitely not a bad player. I never said that. But people are treating him like the second coming of Iniesta. One of the "untouchables".

Not for me, he ain't. I prefer creative players.

 

[tacticvarium]

Aleñá and Puig will overtake Arthur as a starter in the near future

 

[Barcelondoner]

Arthur was a far more creative player (with vision) with Gremio than he is with Barca. I want to see THAT player.

This is Barca. There's more than enough room for him to truly show his talents.
