We are giving Pirlo so much importance and overrating his role. I appreciate his work and vision, I really do, but I don't like the way everything pases through him.

And playing all Marchi-Pirlo-Vidal together isn't always the best choice, specially against less tactical teams.

Teams are doing the simple thing of presurring him and man mark him, the main reason we are playing so bad especially with Marchisio and Vidal so far up the pitch and no one to build the play, and they should drop back and help in the build up.

It's easy to say that teams are putting a player on him at all times, but that should really be releasing space for one of the other players we have on the pitch and allows them to play. The collective isn't working as fluently as it should because of the poorer movement and play. Vidal wasn't as good as he should have been.

It's part of the drill. It's noticeable after a few matches. Vidal and Marchisio would go forward to free up the space for him. The frustating thing is, it usually works but the outcomes of his passses sometimes just doesn't worth it.

That's what i'm saying, when teams are marking Pirlo, Vidal and Marchisio and preferably the Two wingers must drop back to help build up the play

agreed. pirlo is a slow player and sometimes you want someone who plays a higher tempo

he was ok till he started fiddling around with the ball around the goal aread in the second half.
It completely pisses me off when he does that, as it is completely unnecessary. I saw him do that for years at Milan and with Italy and at times it does cost goals. I hoped he wouldn't do that so much at Juve and he didn't to begin with, now he has started to do it again. Just pass the ball to the fucking side, why try and take an opponent on when you have just skill and no pace?
