I mean this as a reply to the opinion often mentioned here, which goes along these lines: "Yes, Marchisio didn't play too well, but that's only because he played out of position". This is only partially true, since Marchisio played out of position on a little more than half of the matches (18) while on the other matches (14) he played in his normal position, and I noticed no difference in his contribution to the team. He had good matches both as a CM and LM, he had average and bad matches both as a CM and LM.
What Hus is trying to say is that Marchisio would have been much better if he wasn't played out of position and I was trying to prove that at least for last season that's not true.
