First of all, Pirlo is like Vidal compared to him, secondly as 3rd choice regista ok, he was alright when he didnt look like a total trainwreck. But defenitely nothing to happy about, except for some good passing occasionally in second half. A better team then Samp would wrecked him if they closed him down often. Yeah he is poor enough that we need to lower our expectations fair bit, but still need to limit his minutes as humanly as possible because he is truly a walking liability even if decent offensively at times.
