I personally never compare the two, because I know eventually they will both start. Pogba will replace Pirlo not Marchisio.
Maybe, maybe not. If we bring Nainggolan Marchisio might again have trouble to find his place in the first 11. In a team that aspires for CL glory Marchisio can only be a sub.

As for Pogba, he's starter now just like I and a few others expected and said some months ago. It would happen regardless of Marchisio's injury. He's better player and it's not even up for debate.

Yeah right, like every player who has ever won a CL medal was elite class. Chelsea won it fielding Cahill, Bertrand, Mikel, Bosingwa and Kalou.
Porto won it with Derlei, Carlos Alberto, Pedro Mendes, and Jorge Costa in their starting 11. Have you heard any of these players being brought up since that CL Final? A player like Marchisio/Pogba coming off the bench is a luxury that very few teams have, so enjoy it guys rather than fighting over who's better and who sucks.

Chelsea were extremely lucky team in that year. Not the best example to use. You can't count on that amount of luck.

There is no fighting over who is better, I'm only stating that Marchisio is good sub to have around.

No matter what example you use, besides Barcelona, you'll always find weak players in a team's starting 11 who just happened to hit a strong run of form at the right time. Dietmar Hamann, Harry Kewell, JA Riise, Milan Baros in 2005...Hell even Ambrosini was starting for Milan when they won in 2007...

If he ever hits strong run of form let me know. :D Anyway we have Pogs and hopefully Nainggolan for the next year so first 11 will be even further for Marchisio.

lol? Marchisio at the first part of 11/12 was on the level Vidal was last year.
That was anomaly. Before and after that period he was just decent midfielder. lol one good string of form in his entire career.

I was gonna use the same example. 6 goals in the opening 14 games for a player in March's position is unreal. But most of the people in this forum like to forget when Marchisio plays well...
Face it. That rarely happens. :)

Being World Class requires consistency; Marchisio is a solid player, but definitely not World Class. He is nowhere near as bad/horrible/invisible as some make him out to be, but he isn't some god on the pitch either like some members seem to think/believe.

As for the CL, the best team doesn't necessarily win. Milan in 03 & 07, Porto in 04, Liverpool in 05, Inter in 2011, and Chelsea in 2012. That's 6 out of the last 11 winners who had a solid team, but hardly one you'd expect to go on and lift the trophy.

And Real has had the "team to win" for the last decade and still hasn't won one :) FORZA JUVE :)

Lucky fuckers. I was so rooting for Bayern in that Final, but United were incredibly fortunate that year. We should've wrapped up the tie in that first leg at old Trafford, but ended up conceding a late equalizer :sergio:

We haven't had the better of them since then.
