Ultimately sportspersons just wanna engage in the actual sports. I can imagine the frustration being asked to keep training to keep fit but then only play the actual game for less than an hour, or not at all, every week, or worse, every two weeks.

Time out injured does not constitute a rest.
Ankles can be a tricky thing as often have weakness and inflammation in them even months after returning. His mobility ie him turning with the ball and changing direction quickly looks to have been impacted as well as he seems not as confident really crunching into tackles as was before.
Think you will get a few disagrees for that, but I agree wholeheartedly, when he's fit. I just hope that he recovers completely.
Disagree with what exactly?
He’s our third best midfielder. And fourth best potentially as Sarr’s ceiling is much higher.
Why don't you list our best then in order. And give a brief summary as to why. Thanks
Sure!
1. Maddison. By far. Unless you count him as an attacker .. but he’s by a mile our most creative and influential footballer.
2. Bissouma. Had some poor games lately but at his best far more dynamic, press resistant and generally more unplayable than Bentancur. He can dominate a midfield.
3. Bentancur/Sarr. The latter with much more potential, much more athletic, moves about the pitch with more ease. Bentancur is classy on the ball but sometimes not great when pressed and I find him a bit static sometimes. He’s good, not great.
He's always been hit or miss.
He is one of those players that you'll often see doing something very well and immediately fuck up the next, easier thing. Like beat 3 men and drive the ball 30 yards up thr pitch, then play an easy pass behind the attacker and we lose the ball. That sort of thing

- you disgree - but check this out. This isn't an isolated incident View: https://youtu.be/zqE8FbF7XCE?si=Y9M-cTcm4TtGpJMX&t=208

he has been a tad off since he has been back from injury but also good moments, which is to be expected... prior to his injury he was by far the main leading lynchpin and was key for us getting in the top four in the conte season and maintained that the following season till the nasty injury.
he was key in the man united game an it was his play in the game v brighton that created the opportunity for pape sarr goal. I agree he has lost the ball since coming back more than you'd like, but you can see that is down to his body not reacting quick enough with his mind due to fitness and recovery, not down to lack focus or a brainfart, fully fit this guy is a leader and beast.

LOL..........
That wasn't:
- An "immediate fuck up"
- "playing an easy pass behind the attacker"
- or "we lose the ball"
He opted for a different pass into more space and we nearly scored from that segment of play.
But that was my point. He'll go from moments of brilliance to a pass that's so horrible you'd think it was a Sunday league player. I can't always wrap my head around how that happens, but it does, and more often than a lot of fans seem to notice.
If PEH makes that pass, there's literal venom coming from fans mouths.
Great finish for the player labelled negative from a lot of our fan base. Even Kane, who played him in, wasn't trying to bust a lung to get in the box there.
Pretty poor today again. Terrible for the goal, gives the ball away than runs back and clatters clumsily into Eze.
Wouldn’t be too harsh on him right now, he did have a long time out. Next season he’ll be better.
