Does he look unfit to you guys?

Possibly, he won't down pretty bad in the first half so he might have been carrying an injury.

He has been struggling to impose himself this season

 

[JuveJay]

Yaya is much too strong for him physically, but it's worth remembering that Man City flooded the midfield so they often had the extra man and he was chasing nothing. But he didn't do very well tonight.

 

[Albo]

Not good game by Marchii :-S

 

[sallyinzaghi]

nope, Aquilani would've offered more if he wasn't cuptied.

 

[JuveJay]

I doubt it, we didn't play that sort of game and Yaya would have walked past him too.

Claudio "Invisible Man" Marchisio..
I hope he starts performing, cos at the moment i would rather see Aqua next to Melo,heck even a Momo-Melo partnership is more useful

 

[awit]

Melo and Aquilani should be starters from now. Marchisio needs a little time on the bench to figure out what he wants to contribute for this team.

 

[Red]

Marchisio did fine.

He and Sissoko did a good job of restricting Man City's mdfield, despite the fact Man City had the extra man in there.

 

[swag]

Time for him to score again against Inter.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Yeah people are tending to forget the extra man in City's midfield. I thought Marchisio was ok overall....but he can still improve.

People get past Marchisio too easily, and to think some people wanted him to be paird with Aquilani. He really isn't much of a defensive player, the only thing that makes people have that perception, is because of his work rate and stamina.

Yaya dominated him today, but to be honest, anyone who has watched City this season knows that Yaya has been a very good signing for them thus far and has dominated almost every midfield in front of him this season, including Chelsea's midfield. Top signing.

 

[Michael Jordan]

Who should start with Melo againts Inter, him or Aquilani?

 

[MikeM]

Aquilani should and probably will start.

I always admired his technique too for such a big man. Top player.

I love it how he does nothing in a game but because he doesn't make any mistakes he's described as 'solid'.

 

[Buck Fuddy]

I love how he is continously being described as doing nothing.

 

[Nenz]

My browser just shat itself...

If just standing there not making tackles or even getting in the way of your opponent, not moving around and working hard to receive the ball and making lateral ineffective passes all game is what our midfielders should be aspiring to in this team, we're in trouble.

 

[Buck Fuddy]

Then we definitely are in trouble.

Thankfully, that doesn't seem to be the problem with Marchisio

I don't think he had a great game last night, but he definitely wasn't bad either. Did well to keep the shape of the team, provided balance in difficult circumstances.

There really wasn't a single player last night who did "nothing".
