Pirlo cannot defend, lately he makes me feel like he does not understand what the word defence means.. his age and nonchalant style seem to be the reason. It's sad.. But we're faster without him.. buffon's net is less likely to be reached when Marchisio plays in front of the defensive trio.. Very sad.. That we're having to chose to go on without a legend like Pirlo.. but this is life.. Max has to be smart dealing with this problem. We can't go on like that lossing so many balls in sensitive parts of the field.. if we want to reach far in CL.. It's a new era.

Truth is that Marchisio is much more mobile and really sacrifices himself as a deep lying "playmaker" (which is in truth a DM).
As of late, i prefer marchisio's short passes and defensive stability than Pirlo´s risky long balls and zero defending from his part.

Free kicks will be an issue tho...

:agree: and the Genovese derby is quite a spectacle. Well, the spectacle is in the stands. On the pitch, not so much.

I wish Samp could be among the top teams, only other likeable team in Italy

2-3-5 for the next match?

I can't wait to see Matri again. :heart:

No rotation.

Llorente starts.

Pirlo starts.

More boring football.

More failed cross attempts.

More missed opportunities.

Rinse and repeat.
