Can we stop pretending that he was some kind of rock in November because we were going slightly better as a whole than now? He was fine, he was okay, he was covering ground better than Bissouma.

Yes, he's another very hit and miss player but would still have him starting 7/7* games over Biss.

At least he offers some calmness in the middle.

*Yes that 7.

Bissouma is a CM luxury that we can't afford. Puts in too many 5/10 performances.

We play Chelsea during Bentancur's ban. Absolutely nailed on that Enzo influences that game in some way just to rub it in a little bit more.

Typical that Enzo scored against us while Bentancur serves his ban. It was inevitable.

It was always going to happen. Just to make it a little bit worse, he's got 3 goals and 2 assists in the 4 matches since Bentancur's ban started. You absolutely could not make it up.

It’s like when you see the terrible bloke you know cheat on his Mrs, get away with it then gets a promotion at work and wins a 10 fold acca right after you get dumped.

His self inflicted moment of stupidity is costing his team mates big time. I hope he's chomping at the bit to make up for it.

Bump. Off at 60 because he's actually not a very good CM anymore post-ACL.

After all his injuries and the fact he ain’t played a lot in 2 seasons . The ban could not have come at a worse time . Playing once every 3 weeks ain’t going to get him up to speed

Whilst this is a bit harsh, let’s face facts. He is not quite as good as he was.
The thing people are forgetting he's playing a different position, he's moved from CM to DM, that's part of the reason why he's playing worse
