Of course that is possible. Depends who this good left winger is though.
And I'm not claiming that he should be a long term choice for the LW but he has been fine so far and has been one of the best available options recently.
1. He defends, holds the ball and makes supporting runs forward.
2. See number #1
3. I care about our team being able to properly keep our fullbacks from being exposed to constant pressure like they were last season under the 4-3-1-2
I would think, with a quality LW or versatile SS we could play a very effective 4-3-3 with Melo, Marchisio and Aquilani.
But look, Marchisio is a great player to have for any team. He gives it his all, can prove decisive, has great technique, composure and a footballing brain. A very versatile player.
But we aren't a 4-3-3 no matter how many times that gets said around here. Del Neri has a very clear idea of what system he wants and he admitted that even Krasic, while a good signing, is not his ideal type of winger.

He seems "fine" in the role because he doesn't make mistakes. But that isn't all that we need out there.
Ok.

Fair enough then. I simply disagree and don't like using players out of position and not having any sort of attacking threat wide left. If you look at the Roma match, we had nothing from his side, and that needs to be addressed. But it probably won't be.

I think he could be as good as Melo for us in the middle but Melo seems more direct and quick in his dicisions. If he dribbles he takes off right away and it puts him in better positions than Marchisio who waits around and then they get numbers behind him. He needs to play quicker and he will be more effective
