He is very excellent on the ball and finding space, runs rings around players, but he has little to no end product, thats part of why I much prefer him as a CM. Penetrate the space between opposition defence and midfield and start attacks for us, then pass it along, instead of being strictly winger or forward where he gets the ball in final third and has to make the decisive last ball every time. He is lacking in latter, plus it suits him more to roaming around freely being a menace as a box to box CM (his ball control is very good so generally good at maintaining possession), more space to run rings around players or play 1-2s. But he would be quite of a player to have if he had much of an end product in decisive passes/crosses (most of our counters suck because our players screw up ze final ball).

He kind of reminded me of Camoranesi today, not as good though...

 

[JuveJay]

He almost won it for us against Siena as well.

Shame he lacks composure and end product because he is great at timing runs from deep.

Still, as hard as he works, the midfield still looks more open and exposed when he plays instead of a real midfielder.

 

[Itztli]

Red, who would you say he reminds of?

Cause everytime I see him play, he reminds of Valbuena.

Valbuena, to me, is far more about technique than off-the-ball movement.

Don't know who Giaccherini reminds me of, because it's so rare you see midget winger/forward types played in a deeper role in midfield.

 

[Itztli]

Well that's the comparison I see, athought you're right about Valbuena.

 

[Albo]

Sticky ?!

 

[Osman]

No sticky until he gets end product

 

[Hust]

Who the fuck would have thought we would be discussing Giaccherini's thread being sticky'ed?

Conte ?

Me?

Sticky ?!

For the last time, stickiness isn't a badge of freaking honor. It's a conversational bookmark. Get over the gloryhunting mentality. It's bad enough that it's coming out of the walls because we're not losing much...

You really don't know what sticky is.

Only players who perform well deserve sticky. Stickiness is a tool to measure players weekly performance.

Giach deserves to be sticky ATM.

 

[Dominic]

Suprised his not a sticky yet. Been consistently on super form. His directness is something weve lacked for years. What a signing, and what a player his turned out to be.

He's definitely better in the center than wide

Not to be blasphemous, but he reminds me of Nedved a bit. He plays like a winger, but is much better roaming the field. Starting from the middle free to go either way and finding space. He's not of Nedved's quality of course, nor his decisiveness. If we keep the faith in this guy, i'm confident he'll reward us.

What a find!

I've just recognized that such players as Giacherini are very important to be presented in squad, becouse they creat a "long bench" wich is vital for success ! I am not a supporter of tendency to rotate starting 11 constantly. I guess that it has to be a seperation on strating player and subs! Only in such way a stability could be achieve !

I find it very hard to define this player.
