Arturo Vidal (56 Viewers)

[ALC]

funny you mention that now, scotland. yesterday while eating dinner i thought I may be mistaken here, but were Vidal and Marchisio playing against each other?

I could have sworn they were playing together against Milan and playing in different roles.

All this discussion (especially the claims that Marchisio was good against Catania, Bologna and Siena) has tempted me to go back and make touch/involvement compilations for both players. Way too much effort though.

No need to, we all know who the better player is. Well, by "we" you know who I mean....

Those stats posted were like stakes through the black hearts of the unwashed Marchisites.

Errr... Not really. There's not much between them. In fact, if it was Marchisio with Vidal's stats and Vidals with Marchisio's 2 goals and 95% passing rate, I'm sure the anti-Marchisites would be having a field day. The stats aren't too great for either of them and don't tell the real story of their dominant performances.

They sure were!

Especially in light of the incessant cries of "Vidal's passing was shit", "Vidal was no good", this, that, and the other.

If I didn't have certain posters on ignore I'd look forward to the (probably non-) forthcoming responses.

I can make two 5m passes in a game and have a 100% passing rate.

Well Vidal clearly wasn't shit but him being good doesn't exclude Marchisio from being.

It's just annoying that people can't agree both had very good games.

I can too, but probably can't trap passes flying at me from 60 yards away, can't tackle Van Bommel in a 50-50 challenge, can't run non-stop for 90 minutes and score 2 goals against AC Milan in front of 41,000 people... and that's why I don't play for Juventus.

Both had a good game.

Damn Hustinky for giving Marchisites a bad rep.

Damn Hustinky for giving Marchisites a bad rep.

And for saying Vidal had a bad game.

Note: I still love you, Cam.

They both had good games. I think almost everyone, except the faction with a nefarious ulterior motive for undermining Vidal's value, has said so (in the live thread, match thread and elsewhere).

Cheese is to blame too.

Actually, I think he's worse.
