What throws your credibility in the toilet, Lion, and chucks all of your constructive criticism with it is that you're a self-imposed victim of selective data syndrome. Even in this weak season, he's earned 6 Man-of-the-Match nods and is up there among the most this season... and more weighted towards his CL performances.
So whenever you have something critical to say about Marchisio, it's tainted because you only look at the player with shit-colored glasses. Objectivity is tossed out the window, discounting what should otherwise be good comments on occasion.
Anybody can select the data to fit their hypothesis. That's how we got fake cold fusion a couple decades ago.
The saddest part is that this perpetuates the pro- vs. anti- whining on these forums where everyone puts blinders on and likes to throw grenades at each other. The truth becomes the first casualty. Because for every over-exuberant ass-kisser or hate-flamer, it encourages the neutrals to retrench and take the opposite side just out of spite.
. Thats just amazing.
