Him being benched by goddamn Borriello tells you exactly how much Conte rates him and unlees he has a problem with Conte it should tell you about his lack of quality too.
At this level a strikers who's main job is too score shouldn't be effected. Did Giovinco cause him to completely mis-trap Pirlo's overhead pass vs Napoli?

Like it or not, he's our best goal scorer. He's too isolated when partnered with Giovinco, as was Quagliarella. It's not a coincidence he had his best performances for us when partnered with Mirko.
And hey, we're talking about a guy who didn't have the continuity Giovinco had so far.
The same question could be asked of Gio whose had much more continuity and about 476 chances on goal more than Matri. This guy is the same player who scored 10 classic CF goals before being inexplicably benched last season. You can't expect him to score when he's on edge the whole time. It's really unfair. Give him 5 games on the trot no matter what, and you'll see the difference between a Gio type CF and Matri type. It's very unfortunate, the situation hr finds himself in. I cant believe how opinions change around here every match day.
Can't really think of any chances he had, they all seemed to fall to Giovinco. He was in the right areas but the defenders always toed the ball away as it came in.
Way too unfair on him. What do you guys expect if he plays one game a month? Its not that easy to play like that especially when you're a striker. His movement was good, but Giovinco isolated him, going for goal himself, and not playing off him as the game wore on. If Matri was given the chances Gio had, we'd have won this game tonight.
