He's gonna get pushed out of the starting eleven.
Hard to say. Injuries, form... all of those are big variables. One year Ibra is the savior while Del Piero is benched for poor form. The next thing you know, we want to run Ibra out of town for his wastefulness and DP goes on to become the league's top scorer the next two consecutive seasons in different leagues.

That's more likely, yes.


I ain't given up on him, but Licht is one of the best. He's a tad under-appreciated.
I love Lichtsteiner but he doesn't offer much going forward in the 3-5-2. He's awesome in a back four though.

I think we can manage with Lichtsteiner on the right of the 3-5-2, I'm more concerned with Asamoah. We should have at least one wing back who can cross.

One who can attack in general. They're both very safe but you'd wish they were good at taking on their markers and crossing/shooting.

One thing that Marchisio has and our other midfielders don't is flair, which comes in handy at times in the attacking third. I certainly can't picture asamoah, isla or even vidal dribbling pass defenders and feigning pass inter keeper and score. Actually i don't even rate asamoah high at all, he is predictable, one-dimension and overly dependant on left foot.

plus I have more faith in March compared to pog vidal and other midfielders in terms of loyalty!

Vidal goal against Napoli two seasons ago in the 3-0 win?

Marchi has little flair - his dribbling is very predictable and easy to read - he gets pushed off the ball with little effort.
