He had some tremendous long lofted passes today, especially in the first half, with his weaker foot. He's got the tempo, he's got the run, the passes... But hey, he's just a normal midfielder, don't dare to call him world class. He just warmes the bench to the likes of Pirlo, Vidal and Pogba. He's not shown nothing, "he's had just a good season in his career"

(the biggest bull$#@! I often hear. Last season was fundamental until January and even in the dark seasons before 2011 he was one of the best players). You can find everywhere videos where he dribbles or makes nice plays but someone still says he's not techincally gifted... I've read some time ago someone who prefers Padoin
The truth is if Marchisio had a performance like Vidal's or Pogba's today everybody would be totally mad at him. This guy is always under harsh judgement and I still wonder why.
