Well, you called him a member of the inferior peasant race in the first place.
I didnt actually. I said i assumed he made a mistake.

Which makes the entire point of starting Marchisio obsolete as only a madman would argue that Pogba's relatively small defensive downside when compared to Marchisio (and I would only consider this to be true in games where Pogba isn't 100% in the game as a result of his lacking experience) outweighs the fact that he is as you put it, 4x better offensively.
Oh easy. Pogba and Vidal are excellent as BtB midfielders, and wasted when holding and covering the midfield. Marchisio is good at it. Thats why they synergise so well.

Against strong opponents, when not considering pirlo, we'd have marchisio holding, and then 2 out of pogba, vidal, asamoah, beeing aggressive pressing, and making forward runs

You know as well as me that the team never attacks with both BTB midfielders at the same time. We effectively split the opponents half right down the middle vertically with Pirlo in the middle. The left striker, left BTB midfielder and LWB attack together, when they do this the right side of the team narrows in to compensate for this. Marchisio is playing, or is supposed to play, the role of a BtB midfielder - which he is simply not doing at the moment.

He doesnt, wich allows more freedom to the wingback and the other btb midfielder.

If he feels confident, he might make forward runs himself

So you agree that he has actually lost his sense of purpose offensively, not because Conte instructed him to do so.
No, i say that if he has the defensive task, but fiels confident, he might still make an offensive run.
Previous serie a game, he had the assist for llorente, when he was playing a much more advanced position
And he's still the only player we can use as a cam, if he get specific instructions to do so. Not saying he's that good in it, but better suited then anyone else.

i'd be inclined to start like conte did today against less good offensive teams. But once they are good, 'id allways field marchisio. It just makes is SO very tough to break down

So your argument can only be upheld if we all adopt a very biased terminology and a set of equally biased conditions, I think I got it now :tup: . No wonder you think that you're king of the world when its a world constructed entirely on the basis of your own criteria, where everyone who doesn't follow your approach, despite an obviously better argumentation, is automaticall a peasant and not worthy of life. Pretty sure you need to see a shrink.

What's wrong? Martinez completely ruined Barca's midfield+attack when they meet. :D
That Martinez is the only one who is better at that than Marchisio, its just nonsense in its most concentrated form.

Its not easy to explain why marchisio is so fundamental. Conte clearly knows how to use him well, as you notice everything beeing more fluid.

Should ask red. He's better at explaining it then i am.

You can argue that certainly.

But you cant argue, Martinez, is godly at it.

If it is not easy to explain then you should acting like a prick towards everyone who has a different line of argumentation. How you justify that approach when you can't even articulate your own argument is beyond me.

Oh, thats not quite true.

You are looking at it from an anti marchisio POV. I can only give so much explenation, but you simply respond that the important things arent important, and that the offensive part is everything. Like many here, defence for you, is making tackles. Its really hard to explain someone in that mindset what is great about marchisio in the team.

However, people who just plain go "oh sell him he doesnt do tackles and goals", yeah, those deserve a bashing.
At least you try to explain why you dont like him.

In the end, your managerial style would be much more offensive, and the defence would be rather simple, compared to the Lippi and conte coaching styles.

You dont believe in wingbacks and defensive organisation first.

Raped ? Someone tries to tell that marchisio not offering much offensively cause tactically limited is a big deal, whilst his contribution to our organisation is massive.


But well. People dont care about those boring words. they wanna see attack.

So conte allways playing him, makes him an incredibly mediocre coach ?

conte is not all that. he only has one win in 8 CL matches, and his team conceded a goal in every single match.

edit: and he bougt an injured isla, a mediocre peluso, and padion

While I'm a fan of Marchisio, everyone can see he isn't playing to his level but by benching him and with the continuing suggestions he is leaving isnt going to help his confidence and his form. Asa played very well today but I would rather see Asa play a couple games there before I can base my judgement. Asa is rock solid and has strength while Marchisio has those darting runs and will cover any position for you. Both need to stay in the squad. A lb should be purchased and our midfield should be rotated between Marchisio, Vidal, Asa and Pogba. All this bullshit of Marchisio being sold should just end. If he wasnt sold in his earlier years when he didn't preform why would he be sold now?

is not funny at all. Marchisio is a very strong midfielder. He could walk into any epl team and more than half of spanish teams. While he isn't on the level of vidal he provides a different type of player. Marchisio is a cm you dont get rid of simply because he isnt preforming at his highest. He will run until you dies, he is juventus and he said it himself he will only leave if he feels unwanted.
