Yea, games he was deployed further back, we drew or lost (second half after disaster January). And towards the end he was only played as the advanced midfielder.The January slump we got embarrassed in both combonination of Ben/Tonali or Krunic/Tonali until we changed to 3 ATB. But then we lost steam after it until we changed back to 4-2-3-1 and Bennacer was back in the lineup after an injury period in February and then he took time to get up to speed.
Look at it this way instead of “replaced”: when shit hit the fan Pioli always played Giroud. When shit hit the fan, Pioli always moved Bennacer away from the deep role and only deployed him in more advanced roles.
You can draw whatever conclusions
