(2) They aren't. Matuidi certainly isn't. When he is playing with an actual regista he has no problems being great at PSG be it with verratti and motta or motta and rabiot. Diaz certainly isnt more creative.
(3) Thank you. What we are disagreeing about is whether he didnt do well because of a lack of skill to play that role with these midfielders or because the pressure got to him. I am saying it is both. I don't blame him for the former because that wasn't his call it was DD. I blame him for the latter. He didn't look like he was even trying today neither in creating play nor in defending. There is a difference between being involved in play but things not working out for whatever reason and walking around looking bored.
(4) Pirlo would have stringed that midfield together majestically. Pogba was supposed to do that but didn't do it at all and didn't look like he was trying to influence the game. Sissoko was fighting and almost worked. Payet was fighting but failed. Pogba was not fighting he was spectating in comparison.
(5) It would have helped but I am not sure Vidal would have made them win the match. When I say imagine vidal in that role I am not saying France would have won. With a young Pirlo or a Marchisio or a modric they might have won but I doubt they would have won with vidal. However, I am saying vidal would have been fucking everywhere and fighting till the last minute. He would have done much more defensively and would have tried to contribute more offensively because that is his character. The point is not that vidal would have made them win, it is that vidal would have fought much harder and pushed his mates forward regardless of whether they ended losing or winning. Neither of them is suitable for the deep playmaking role (though pogba has a better passing range). But Vidal fights like an animal while pogba was a lama today. Put fucking guttoso there who cant pass 5m away and you'd have seen more fighting and leadership from that.
So again, yes DD gave him a bad role. yes he didn't impress and part of it is because of that. But his performance was disgraceful from a mental standpoint. Had he shown up today and gave his 100% the way sissoko did despite his limitations, then maybe france would have still lost. but at least then no one can blame him. You played me out of position in a role that doesnt suit me and I gave it my 100%. I'd have been proud of his performance if he had done that but he didn't. He did not try his best in that role. Vidal would have. Pogba tried his best as an LM for us and no one blamed him for not being a genius winger. Marchisio tried his best as a RW against Real (conte days) and no one blamed him even though he wasn't robben-good at it. We recognized he gave it his all and respected him for that. Today he did not. Even compared to the rest of his tournament today is a whole lower level of motivation from him.

Vidal probably would have been carded in the first 10 minutes like he was in our CL final. Euro refs don't give leeway to players like the South American refs do.
