Terrific pickup this season and great player. Has been instrumental in keeping FFC top half table.
I'm always confident he'll make the right play/pass when he's on the ball. Great footballing instincts. Sure sometimes a slip up here or there, but he is always giving maximum effort. And here's my observation. At his advanced age and giving great effort, he usually looks totally gassed by halftime. It might be prudent to change him out at 60 minutes? Against Spurs, I thought he had solid first half, but second half not so much.
Glad we have this player, been a great addition. But might need to watch his minutes?
He was excellent again last night particularly in the first half and the club need to tie him down for next season
He does fade as the games go on, much like Danny Murphy did towards the end of his career with us. We've got Solomon on the bench who looked very sharp when he came on, I would switch them up in the same way Diop and Tosin have been used, and substitute earlier during the game. Willian is great though
Absolute class act. Skill and vision. A terrific acquisition.
Guess he didn't get 70 caps for Brazil by accident.

Totally agree he's been top class for us. I too would like to see FFC sign him up for next season. Even if he's in a different role, I'm sure he'd be happy to stay at CC. Maybe as a super-sub similar to the way TC has been used this season? Even as a late game sub for the most part, I'm sure he'd get some starts here and there. Great player, probably the "smartest" footballer in the team. Great acquisition.
Get him signed for a year plus a clause for another Marco.
