am I the only one who thinks Luca is way better than Pogba as Pirlo first substitution?
I dont think that today he is better (or lets say offers more) than Peepee or verrati, but he has the skill to play as an offensive midfielder and we need to build him like that.
The problem here is tha unlike Pogba and Verrati, Marrone is being thrown as a defender, when he isnt one. On top of that his appeareances this season has been almost non existant, while Verrati and Pogba are collecting some good minutes each week.
This is limiting his grwoth soooo much.... and i fear that we will never let him develop as the midfielder he is, as long as padoin or pogba are around. Im not saying is the fault of the ones i mentioned, but i relly think that now that we have lUcio, Marrone should be used more often in games that Vidal and Marchisio need to be rested.
Using him as a defender is a waste because i dont think he has the experience or the tackling power to be one. As long as he gets the ball, perfect, he is good with the ball at his feet.... but if not, we are risking a mistimed tackle from him and so on.
