    As a "distributing mid" he's average at best.

    It's not as if we actually play better when he's on the pitch either. Like I heard my neighbour say at the Sampdoria game when he had to come off injured: "Doesn't matter, it's not as if he does anything anyway."
    Which is obviously a bit of an exageration, but I definitely understand why someone would say that.
    no hes not

    we dont look better because we dont have any passing from the back. today, Barza was our best passer beside him, which tells you all you need to know. also, hard to play well with or without him, when we displace a pass every 4-5 touches

    I rate him and consider him world class. One of the few I hope won't get sold. But it has to be said, he did not have a good game tonight.

    No excuse for that 2nd yellow challenge. Looks undisciplined too often lately.

    He gets a pass on chance creation because he has no one to pass to behind the defense. Mario and Higuain haven't made a run in behind since 2015. Khedira and Matuidi get in good positions maybe once a match.

    Playing him further up is the solution but who do you play behind? Marchisio ?
    Yes of course Marchisio should play there instead but sadly Allegri has it out for him

    hes the only distributing mid we have, Khedira and Matuidi are btb mids, who when we play 433 often stay high and help Higgy in pressing. you take out Pjanic of the game, whos gonna playmake? its easy for teams to shut us down this way, yet he still manages to make us tick. but you hate him, so you will never admit how good he is
    Answer is easy Marchisio plays instead of him and we have a midfielder who can distribute and actually take control of the game which you know most registas are suppose to do.

    Also just want to point out I definitely don’t hate Pjanic. Just look at my old posts I was sucking his dick for most of last season.

    Just for me he is a poor regista

    Marchisio was subbed after 60 minutes against Crotone, then missed the Napoli game due to injury. stop with this nonsense already
    He was out with a flue vs Napoli cmon

    I think its a combo of allegri not thinking he’s the same and honestly marchisio not being the same

    He played better when there was just him and khedira. With the addition of matuidi, which was supposed to get the best out of him, didn't help.
