Lets set everything aside, the fanboys and haters, the stats, the fact that he came from the primavera.
What does a central midfielder do ?
depends on the roll
Last season, he started off with the more offensive central roll in a 4 man midfield.
It took 3 games before aquilani replaced him and pulled the team up a level. for the time aqua, quag and krasic played well, we were second and trailing milan
aquilani surely isnt even close to worldclass, yet he beat marchisio out of that roll
so we can conclude that he isnt very good at the offensive centremid roll
this season, defensive roll in a two man midfield, next to pirlo.
so plays as a defensive midfielder.
what are they supposed to do
break up the opponent attacking moves , move into channels to intercept passes, dictate the midfield, dicatate the tempo and passing of the team from the back.

Marchisio fanboys, explain me with examples what of the above he can actually perform, because i missed it.
