Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba never played much alone together iirc. It was always Marchisio who was the glue that kept everything together. Pirlo was on his last legs and honestly we looked much better with just Marchisio in his place. Vidal was playing injured the whole season and Pogba missed the most important part of the season (Dortmund 2nd leg to RM 2nd leg). Marchisio was so good and consistent that year it was crazy.
