Because of Pirlo, the other two cm's had to limit their offensive freedom.
With Marchisio, it actually empowers them to do more.
So while Pirlo was a bit better then Marchisio, tho not THAT much, the other two cm's increased freedom compensate that quite a bit.
So i'd say that offensively, its at least as good, but defensively, its MUCH better

The real key thing, is Vidals aggressive pressing. That, we lost. So here is to Lemina breaking trough @Osman

I love Marchisio, but the Pirlo in the first Conte season and the second was just great. The team was set up to succeed with him pulling the strings and he pulled the strings brilliantly. Marchisio is extremely important for us now, but he still doesn't have (or need to have tbh) the kind of influence Pirlo had on games during those seasons.
People are letting Pirlo's last season with us cloud their judgement. Pirlo was immense for us getting where we are now I'd go as far as saying that he was the most important single piece in that puzzle actually.
I absolutely love Marchisio and wouldn't pick anyone in the world in his place but current Marchisio would not start over the Pirlo we had for apart from the last season.

It's a little unfair to compare Pirlo with Marchisio. Conte basically built a team around Pirlo, hey was a corner stone, focal point and even main attacking treat. And Pirlo is a genius regista, he is one of a kind. On the other hand Andrea was too important, if opposite team shuts him down, we were in trouble. Conte is not to blame about it I think, when you have this kind of asset, unique asset, you try to utilize him as much as possible.
And from this point of view it's really strange Conte left the team so ugly. Because in Pogba you have another unique asset and he had Tevez who was one-man-attack.

Umm... this season serie A really balanced. Week in week out changing leader (for most of 1 half of season anyway), and team like torino, sampdoria, sass, and empoli adds more intrique for the viewers.
When conte take over milan still one of favourite, but for next 2 season its pretty clear we had no challanger imo.
Napoli, Inter
, fiorentina, milan, lazio, and some team i alrdy said before. Today serie a are more fun to watch.
God knows i love claudio, but anyone belittle pirlo contributions must been blind or smth. Pirlo usually decisive, not only as playmaker, he also can create goal from fk when its deadlock situation, and we knows he done that several times.
