even Bentancur should be ahead of khedira in the pecking order ffs
based on what exactly? im all ear, go ahead

I'm wondering what Allegri see's in Khedira that we don't. There must be something, such as tactical awareness, reading of the game, getting in to good positions, something?
its simple. Marchisio isnt 100% yet and Bentancur is a 19 yo thats also not a b2b mid (even with Marchisio he played as the DM today). if Marchisio was his 2014-2016 version, he would play nearly every game obviously, but hes not on that level yet (physically), and Khedira is our only other b2b mid, excluding Sturaro. so simply put, you either play 4231 and bench Khedira for Pjanic-Matuidi, or you stick with the 433 and use him at RCM, atleast for the time Marchisio ups his fitness level, or we sign a class b2b CM in January

But marchisio did not play as the dm it was bentancur

And if you think khedira is a b2b and ought to be ahead of marchisio you need your head tested
are you stupid, serious question? how does one not understand a simple statement - Marchisio CANT play week in week out, hes not in the PHYSICAL condition to do so. and you want Bentancur to play over Khedira but you just yourself admit he played DM even with Marchisio on the pitch, so its obvious what role Allegri prefers him in

A half fit marchisio >>>>>> a fully fit 2017 khedira

Bentancur can fill most if not all midfield roles and would still compliment pjanic and matuidi better than sami
you are kidding right? you want to play a half fit Marchisio, for what reason exactly? to ruin whatever remains of his career? lol, just admit you have no idea what youre saying.

and no, Bentancur doeent offer near the off ball movement Khedira does. he will just get in Pjanics way and provide no spacing around him. he wont push the other team back because they wont respect his aerial presence attacking the box. so no, he cant fill in any role in midfield

Marchisio has to be handled very carefully if you want him to impact the 2nd half of the season. This is likely what Allegri has in mind.

he might be very important in moving the ball towards the strikers. look at the napoli game: khedira was subbed out in the 67th minute. dybala took a corner a couple of minutes later, then disappeared until the end of the match. here's dybala's touches from the 69th minute until the end of the game against napoli.

If Marchisio isn't ready to start anytime soon, Max should play him as vice-Pjanic and Bentancur as B2B.

Marchisio was WC & arguably the best in the world as regista before he got injured.

Bentancur apparently was just alright playing as regista in Argentina. Did better when they switched him to B2B.

Hope to see him from the start tonight, i think its unlikely he will get the notch against Torino so most likely we'll see more of him tonight. :D :tup:

He is absolutely pathetic tonight.

Lost the ball a couple of times and wasnt at his best but i hope the reason for the sub was that allegri wanted some width on the pitch and not his sub par peerformance
