He is amazing when he is in the final third! Can't remember which game it was earlier this season when he provided a great cut back from the byline for a goal.
Hopefully with matuidi around he can advance forward more often
That's precisely why I think Matuidi is the best transfer this season. You are going to see huge differences in our other CM's this season.
Marchisio: He can make those amazing runs forward again.
Pjanic: Less defensive duties and more time to work his magic.
Khedira: A bit of a mix between Marchisio style runs and team contribution in possession (smart play).
Matuidi does the dirty work.
