i do not think i am not giving marchisio his due. I have watched tha vast majority of juve games in which he has played. To be fair I watch more premiership football than italian. Its what I have grown up with since the very early 90s, which was the same time I started supporting and following Juve. Also my favourite team to watch in England has been United for many many years. As their fans respect DP and our club in general, mainly due to some of our brilliant duels in the 90s, I, in turn, respect their way of playing and especially rooney (of course). Its a different kind of football in england. Much faster, more direct, often making the pitches seem smaller due to the frenetic nature of the action!
I see more natural talent in Anderson. he is much more comfortable on the ball than the claudio of the last two seasons...I also see him used more effectively. However, he has vastly superior players around him, better coaches and a stronger manager than Marchisio has ever had above him as a senior professional player. Those things make a difference...For example, I reckon Marchisio would be much better than he presently seems, had he been with United for a year or three.
