No doubt he has the experience. But the reaction on here is hilarious.

I mean I get that Arthur has things he needs to work on but the Vidal comparisons are just ridiculous at this point.
Arthur is 22 years old and he was starting his first La Liga match in Europe. vs Vidal who is 31 years old, has played in a CL final, was a key player for Chile and has boatloads of experience in Europe playing for the likes of Juve, Bayer Leverkusen, and Bayern.
Perhaps the laziest argument I have seen on here to try and discredit Arthur. And the funny thing is this is the only site I've seen people complain about Arthur for yesterday. Everyone else is focused on how poor Alba and Pique were and bitching about Coutinho shooting every time he had the ball.

I remember at least two instances in which he opted to give a safe pass instead of a line-penetrating pass that Busi makes 10/10 times. He is not very confident atm that's for sure. I reserve my judgement for the following games.
Whats wrong with people in this forum. Why are u so extreme critical with new players?!
This guy is 22 and made his first laliga match from the beginning. Ofc he is playing it safe. Thats how u build up confidence in your game. Many contacts and successfull passes and actions.
Wonder if some if you ever stood on a football field as a player....

To move the players from the other team.
well unless he reads the forum this is perfectly healthy.
We need some patience with Arthur and perspective.
How was Dani Ceballos first season at Madrid for example? Someone who was well adapted to La Liga.
Some things take time, and were judging him on game where he has started for the first team ever with Vidal (who also had his first start) and where the team was down to 10 men aftet 28 minutes.
On a slight tangent, where can I find the metres run per match stats for La Liga?

It seems that not only guys from this forum noticed Arthur's too safe approach in preseason and regular games for Barca till now:

1. he played too cautious
2. a journo also thinks that Arthur maybe wants to play/would fit better in Busi's role with the way how he plays (than into a CM's role)

I think if you had said that he was a little too cautious, nobody would have had a problem with that. Instead though, what you said that he was one of the weirdest barca midfielders you had ever seen, and that he was the least creative Barca mid in this century.

Your post sounds as if I have said something horribly off.
For example, name 2 midfielders from 2000' till today who played more cautious and with less forward passes than a current Arthur.
You can even put defensive midfielders like Marquez, Edmilson, Davids, Van Bommel, Motta, Cocu into maths.
