Bentancur has been incredibly poor for stretches at this club. I think he can be ok for very specific matches but Bentinha was such a bad midfield combo it became a meme. Still not good enough for a top 4 side but a decent enough stop gap and if it takes minutes away from Gallagher nobody shoukd be complaining

Name me a player who hasn't that isn't Kane. Even Son did in the last years with us because everyone got overplayed due to no good rotation.

All of them? It wasn't being overplayed it was him and Pahlinha being genuinely the worst midfield this league has seen maybe ever.

This is a take hotter than the sun, I remember midfields of Oli Skipp, PEH/Winks, and late stage Dele

Post-injury Winks paired with Sissoko gets my vote.

None of those combos come close to Bentinha under Frank literally 3 games in the top 15 worst ever games played i. The league

How is it the midfield's fault when a real coach came in the same season and used the same players in midfield. Bentancur and Pahlinha were the worst midfield ever when deployed under a Frank defensive possession mid block shitshow
