Franck Kessié - Midfield - Atalanta (2 Viewers)

Marchisio won't be moved unless necessary. He is probably the best all around DM in the world when fit and in form. That's the main reason we didn't want to buy a designated DM when he was injured anyways. Allegri probably wanted to go Matuidi-Pjanic-Khedira until Marchisio was fit again.

Marchisio can perfectly play as BtB cm. We need that physical player If Khedira bothers getting form again, we can always go 4312

Let's not move the one player who is actually performing every single game...

marchiso wont suddenly suck cause he moves a bit forward

He won't but still no point in moving your most important outfield player from his favored position.

He will be but at the moment Claudio is more important to us. imo Marchisio being more important also probably has lot to do with the level of alternative if you remove him from the lineup. Mandzukic is so much better than any alternative we have at DM.

 

[Osman]

Better depth for attack yes, but Dybala is more important then Marchisio on the pitch, its just clear.

 

[Ocelot]

Far from clear imo.

Would give Marchisio the edge too.

Dybala is more decisive but Marchisio brings that feeling of calm and security to the team. Can see merits in both arguments.

 

[Osman]

Not only decisive but he is kinda brains of the team at 22, he pretty much runs things and comes deep to take charge and keep everyone going.

 

[il brutto]

I agree.

 

[Scottish]

Unless it's an Ibra at Milan 2012 scenario I don't think I could consider a forward as our most important outfield player. Dybala comes deep to help with build up, but Marchisio runs the whole team, perhaps a tactical relic left behind in the position by Pirlo but even then Claudio is absolutely crucial to us.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Compare the results we get when Marchisio plays vs when he doesn't, and do the same for Dybala. That should give us a clearer idea of who is more important to the team.

Yeah, but having Hernanes as a Marchisio replacement doesn't help at all.

While Mandzukic has been on fire while Dybala was sidelined.

Agreed, so that's part of the reason Marchisio is so important - we don't have an adequate replacement for him.

It's still moving him away from his best position and placing a lesser player in that key position.

Lets see for a second


regista : pirlo
cm : Pjanic
cm : Isco
am : james rodriguez

4 players in their best position

Very good players in the general opinion


Midfield will get ran over cause its weak as shit.

I can relate to that. Doesn't matter 'though as it does not deny we should be looking for a physically strong box-to-box instead of moving Marchisio away from what he doest best. And all that for someone who's been playing half-decent for 1,5 years and would cost a lot of money.

Turned the game around when he came on vs Empoli.
