As for Felipe Melo...... for two matches in a row he makes bad mistakes that lead to goals.
Now, those mistakes, even though many will blame them solely on Melo, i blame them 50% on him and 50% on the other midfielders.
Yeah, Melo wants to make complicated passes which from time to time will cost us dearly. But more often than not, the dude is forced to make such passes because nobody bloody cares to open up so Melo can make a simple pass to him.
Our off the ball movement is simply terrible. Most of the time Melo must make a super complicated pass in order to find our only free player.
I'm not thinking clearly now, so it might make no sense at all, but since our passing game in midfield is shitty already, at least we can add some movement there and play Marchisio-Sissoko next to Melo.
Then add Diego and Giovinco in front of them and play with only one striker, at least until Ale is back.
Playing with two strikers is useless now since they hardly get the ball and when they do they're surrounded by 2 or 3 players. With Melo, Sissoko and Marchisio we can at least win the midfield and with Diego and Seba we might do something up front.
The wings will be vulnerable again, but with Marchisio and Sissoko we'll cover more ground and help the wings more than we do with Poulsen and Camo.
