I agree the guy is being played out of position but i also think hes nowhere near as good as some on here think he is.
Did not play well yesterday. But not as bad as Busquets.
How was he?
Okay this is getting ridiculous. When he's in the centre and able to dictate, he's prob the best mid in the world already. So what does Valverde do? Sticks him either into a hybrid LW spot where he's half the player, or rm to cover for Messi like he's some limited workhorse. It's insane.
People blame Valverde for everything. When we play Busquest-Arthur-Frenkie then Busi and Arthur can’t play nowhere but “in the centre and able to dictate”. Do you want Frenkie to do that aswell? So three midfield with the same function. Who is supposed to play interior? Who is supposed to play between the lines and offer passing lanes?
The choice is obvious in current year. DJ as starting DM and Arthur as starting CM. Only disputable question (if we play 433) is who we establish as starting midfielder iin more attacking role. The proverbial Iniesta replacement. It's not rocket science. There's no tactical reason why Valweirdo keeps doing this shit. It's all about his weak mentality and being a bitch to senior players and board that supports this backwards mentality.
