Together with weak central midfielders who cannot control the most important area in the field. Marchisio will never ever be able to hold the midfield for Pirlo to do the playmaking, never ever contrary to what some here want to believe. Vidal cannot do the job either but both can do it at the expense of creating chances though. Which yields in wrong forwards purchased. So it is not only the left back and the single dimensioned forward, it is much more than that. Even in the summer Conte was not aware of what players he needs because he does not have a clue on what formation to play.
did you guys notice that pepe was getting more stuck in, trackingn back and harassing genoa players while i saw only one clear instance of marchisio doing that.
and marchisio is supposed to have been the dm.
i think in these 2 man mifirelds you need more grit so pazienza and vidal are better choices to partner pirlo

His best place is probably as one of the center two in a 4-1-4-1. Obviously there'd need to be a properly dedicated DM and a deep-lying playmaker freeing him (Marchisio) to be more advanced. He's too flimsy to hold the center with only one partner and not suited to be an AM (good technical ability, but not incisive or imaginative enough).
Of course, this would only work if we had a pair of deadly wingers that actually supported the lone striker. Which we don't.
