I agree with those who are saying that marchisio was fairly lifeless for long periods of the game...but he made very few mistakes, scored an absolutely crucial goal, and what he did, he did quite well. I am still undecided upon where and how he is best deployed...As we are playing 4-4-2, I thought it was in our interests to keep midfield options. But we got rid of Tiago, poulsen and Ekdal ( though he can come home perhaps in the future). So we lose one tough tackling MF, and two MFs who are both fine on the ball. That made little sense to me, other than the large savings in wages of Poulsen and Tiago playing elsewhere.
I would like to see Traore given a pop at left back. Even to my arsenal supprting mates, he is a relative unknown, but all three of them said to me, that if it wasnt for the quality of Clichy, and the potential of Gibbs, they would be pissed off to see him leave.
If Traore can't fit the bill, then perhaps we can turn to Grosso or better still, SALI! all we need there is someone reliable. they dont need to be amazing going forward, just solid at the back.
As for right back...its trickier. On yesterdays performance, I prefer Grygera. But in the previous games, Motta looked useful. Maybe he was carrying a physical problem or just had a bad day. Either way, it was clear to me, that our two centrebacks got horribly strecthed, due not to their own inadequacies in their own positions, but completely because of the failings of our fullbacks.

There is a chance, that Traore could be wicked. small chance. he is largely unknown, even at arsenal...buit what is clear to me, is that if we add, or convert our own current stock, into two decent fullbacks, we are capable of 4th, perhaps even third.
