Player Rodrigo Bentancur

[ginola92]

Miles better than anyone else we have in the middle, has to be starting now

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

Two substitute appearances and he's just strolled into our starting eleven. Well done lad.
:contethumb:

(Which also goes to show how shit our midfield had become)

 

[Merl]

Did really well when he came on, one of the few positives.

Must be wondering what he's done to be paired next to Winks

 

[prinmemo]

He needs to start with Skipp. We don't have time to bed him in slowly after that disaster we just suffered through.

When does Skipp return?

 

[Taricco's Tackle]

Unsure if he's too quality or its just the contrast between him and Hojbjerg, winks and sissoko.

Either way miles better then anything else we have

His quality is so much better than our other midfielders’

Next match unless Conte's real goal is to make me cry.

 

[daveyboy88]

has to start next game! should have started this game, we got overrun with them two losers in midfield. has to be bentancur and skipp going forward if its a two man midfield, id actually look to play kulu in a 3 man midfield with bentancur and skipp slightly behind giving him the role of main creator.

 

[FOK]

Looks great, came on and added quality and class instantly.

Skill and composure, passing excellent.

Going to be great if we can get him and Skipp together.

 

[Kane you believe it]

His introduction provided such an immediate and obvious contrast against our other midfielders in terms of having a player with close control that can trap a ball and make a pass in the middle.

It's staggering that this is anything but the bare minimum these days, but hey what do I know.

 

[LEGO Boy]

Looked a Rolls Royce out there compared to the other two midfield cloggers tonight.

 

[Shadydan]

Skipp/Bentancur - That's the midfield if we're playing a 2 man.

You need composure if you're gonna be outnumbered in there and those 2 have it.

ASAP!!!

 

[thinktank]

Make no mistake, this guy is pace-challenged as well.

But looks like he really understands the game.

And looks technically up to scratch.

 

[Pzabbythethird]

Skipp and him in the middle.

Kulu as RWB?

Bergwin in for Lucas at right attacking mid?

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Lovely cameo, and it gave us impetus at a point we needed it. Shame that our team collectively capitulated afterwards. Must start Sunday.

 

[JIMINHO]

He has the composure to receive a pass, look and pass forward. Amazing! A quality Winks can’t seem to figure out. Starter for me as well until the end of the season

 

[Igula]

Bentancur looked good. I don't think he is great but clearly a massive upgrade over Winks and PEH.

HIm and Skipp are the best option we have in MF but still not nearly enough progression or creativity/attack with those two.

 

[Ulrika-ka-ka-ka]

I’d like to see both him and Kulu in a 3 man midfield for our next game. That probably means dropping Moura which is a shame but can’t be helped.

 

[rhenkt]

He looked good but dropped too much on their second goal and thus wasn’t able to get out to JWP.
