$#@! knows? come on, you have to atleast know a little about what youre talking about. this is Marchisio under Allegri before his injury in April 2016:
and i dont have to even tell you how stronger our midfield was in both these seasons. now, this is Marchisio this season:
whats the issue here? Allegri doesent trust a player hes played to the ground for 2 years? lets ask Claudio himself, right after he played his only full game this season:
its clear Marchisio isnt up to (atleast not in the near future) playing on a high level week in week out, otherwise Allegri would have used him more. 14/15 Marchisio would bench Khedira obviously, but this is sadly not prime Marchisio anymore. Bentancur? hes a different type of Cm than Khedira. he also (still) lacks the game without the ball that Allegri obviously values in the 3 man midfield, and that Khedira brings. so if you want Khedira on the bench you either: 1. go back to 4231 2. have Bentancur reach his physical, technical and tactical prime in the next 2 weeks 3. have Marchisio miraculously recover in the next 2-3 weeks, or 4. sign a b2b mid in January. everything else, Khedira plays
