Indeed it was plus on Higgy's last goal the CM8 pass to Berna was smart. Hate for an injury to get him in, but maybe Max rethinks his possession with Claudio.

Marchisio: 'Juventus or nothing' | Football Italia
Claudio Marchisio warned that if he ever does leave Juventus, it will “never, ever” be for another Italian club. “I still want to win.”
The midfielder was born and raised with the Bianconeri, his hometown club, coming up through the youth ranks.
“The only thing I’ll say on my future is that I am fine now and want to help my teammates. That is all I am thinking about,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“I still have a long contract with Juventus, but I’ve always said you never can tell in football. Even if something were to happen, I would never, ever wear another jersey in Serie A.
“I repeat, I have a long contract and am happy here. I train every day with great determination, despite having important injury problems, because I am still highly-motivated and want to win.”
Marchisio made an impressive return to action in the 7-0 victory over Sassuolo on Sunday, providing an assist.
“I hadn’t played in a while and needed to find my confidence on the field. The Coach knows I am always at his disposal for any situation.”
Juve remain in second place, one point behind Maurizio Sarri’s trailblazing Napoli.
“The fact Napoli have kept the same squad more or less intact over a few years has improved their experience and confidence. They are doing really important things this season, but so are Juventus and there is only a tiny gap in the table.
“We have a crucial game coming up with Fiorentina and it’ll be difficult, as always. In the past we had great victories in Florence, as well as some defeats. We know the atmosphere we’ll encounter and the Viola are going through a difficult time, so are determined to put in a strong performance.”
There is also the Champions League Round of 16 coming up against Tottenham Hotspur.
“We met them in a friendly over the summer and, aside from their hitman Harry Kane, they have a really comprehensive squad with both physicality and technique. We know it certainly won’t be easy, but we must make the most of the first leg at home and focus on not conceding goals,” continued Marchisio.

Nonetheless, he still is an great regista on his day, one with excellent defensive abilities aswell. It's obvious tho that all this repetitive injuries have slowed Claudio down a bit lately but i still believe he has what it takes to play a crucial role for us this season, it's just a matter of time and patience, the only way he can get back to his best is mainly by playing more regularly.(which is not an easy task either)
Maybe that's what Allegri has in mind for now, it was a bit of a surprise to see him start against Fiorentina knowing that we need him fit against Spurs but probably the only way to bring him back to his best for this crucial UCL tie was by risking a bit, playing him a couple of games in a row previous to it. Anyway, looking at it this way, i really believe Max will start him and he'll do great if we go with 4-3-3 from the start.

Wait, there are still people who aren't impressed by Regista-Pjanic?
Are you even watching us play ffs?
Max got the mid-3 completely right.
Matuidi isn't a DM/holding mid at all, and with BonBon gone, you want someone in front of the CB's who actually knows how to pass the ball (instead of Matuidi, who could easily be pressured into losing the ball or just hoofing it).
Claudio (as much as i love him) simply doesn't have the legs anymore for the B2B spot.
Stop trying to fix something that's not broken. Pjanic has been great as Regista.

Im not one of those. But i think he would be even better with a more attacking mentality in the midfield.
He is more talented than marchisio in the attacking and setting up department, thats why i tbhink we gate his talent as regista.
He is excepcional as regista, but he can be much more if we let marchisio play regista, who is more limited than pjanic.
Then we let pjanic express himself offensively which i rate him better than marchisio.
Tldr both are Great registas, but pjanic has more to offer than cheesio going forward, has more vision$
Pd: im assuming a healthy marchisio of course. If marchisio cant stay fit, this conversation makes no sense
