We found him the right spot at last. He really looks great there.

 

[Klin]

Excellent half.

This position really highlights his defending and positioning really well.

 

[Cheesio]

Reminds me of Schweinstiger in this position, keeping it simple and effective .

When on form his short passes are quick and accurate. Our movement gets much more fluid and let's Vidal and Pogba do what they do best.

[Klin]

There we go. Good first 45 minutes and we get Schweini comparisons and top 10 CM in the world praises.

People make fun of Marchisio's "dacdical sense" but he really does have excellent anticipation. His IQ for the game is only amplified as a DM because he is in a position to focus on anticipating the hurried passes of our opposition instead of being the one who has to use athleticism to hurry the opponent (that is Vidal and Pogba's job).

Right now he is a bit like Busquets, who I hate but can't deny has excellent anticipation. Marchisio is doing phenomenally well at closing gaps and moving up as a unit to press higher and also being in perfect position to actually win balls that are 50/50.

And then he is smart enough to recognize that the players in front of him are the important players of the team and he releases the ball quickly so that they can get on with it up the field.

In a sense, he is almost the opposite of Pirlo and I feel this could be his best position at this stage in his career.

Can play anywhere in midfield and still be absolute class.

He does, but obviously Zach pushed that point to the degree that it became a bit of a joke, especially as a few didn't really understand what he was saying.

Well to be fair, I think others were partly saying that tactical sense doesn't really help us when he's supposed to be a B2B midfielder. You need more dynamicism. As a DM though, it's more of an important quality and it's useful to point to that trait as a positive.

It shows more of his game, because he simply has to be involved in most phases of play. Out in LCM in this 3-5-2 he completely stopped as an attacking player, and it became difficult to highlight his role. He was just holding an area of the pitch.

True as well.
