He is DRAMATICALLY better at recycling the ball to move forward than his two midfield partners.

I bump this hard working heros thread.
What a difference it has made to have an actual and clever baller back in our midfield.
The turnaround wouldn't have happened without him

Absolutely agree with that. He did seem to tire in the second half today, but before that he was crucial to what we were trying to do. Made a huge difference since he's been back. 
Love him. One of the very few I’d keep.
Credit to him! Was an absolute monster under RDZ. Although, in these couple of last games I was disappointed how he just could not make anything progressive happen and on another day his stupid push could have gotten Everton a penalty. But he was huge in gretting us over the line.
I was stunned the VAR didn't give that seen how we been reffed all season. The pikeys will defo say we got helped.
Needs to be upgraded in the summer. We need far better or we will find ourselves doing this shit all over again.
As much as I think Bentancur was a massive plus in this run and doesn't deserve half the abuse he's gotten, I fully agree. Him as a backup or not enough good to be that would be a positive sign but very much doubt it happens under this board.
We should learn the lessons of the last few seasons, we need experienced players in our squad. We need characters. We should only be moving him on when we have a clear upgrade present in the squad and not just hoping that players like Bergvall and Gray suddenly explode in his absence. Do not repeat the mistake of letting Hojbjerg leave.
When we have two midfielders better than Bentancur, then we can let him go.
100% agree but even then I would argue we'd need 2 better at what he does not just 2 more midfielders in general.
Every time he’s went off since he’s came back we’ve lost control of the game. He,Paulinha and Kinsky have been massive in us staying up.
This. Benta has a purpose in our team as a veteran presence. Same for Palhinha. They can settle the midfield and mentor the younger lot.
34 of our 41 points this season came with him in the team.
Yeah, I thought we definitely got away with one there.
On the other hand, once again a team were allowed to continually commit common assault on our players, with little or no punishment so I'm not too bothered about us finally getting a dodgy decision in our favour.
