All (or at least most) of the games he has gone "missing" in have been while he has played out of position and in a team that hasn't been playing well. It shouldn't be any great surprise that he struggles to get involved sometimes. Even at that he hasn't made glaring mistake likes Grygera...
I think Marchisio had quite a good game. I'm not sure what people expect of him sometimes. Some people only seem to appreciate him when he's doing things like scoring against Inter.
The low ratings Marchisio is getting is surprising. He made some good tackles and generally played quite well. Pepe was the invisible one today (apart from his miss).
This is my prediction.
Buffon
Motta Barzagli Bonucci Grosso
Krasic Melo Aquilani Pepe/Marchisio
Toni Matri
Storari, Sorensen, Grygera, Salihamidzic, Giandonato, Marchisio/Pepe, Libertazzi
There was a training match. The first team won 2-0 with goals from Krasic and Barzagli.
