He stepped up in the second half. I wish many others do the same.

Indeed-....was mad at him because of his poor first half..... But the guy came for the kill in the second. An example to foloow.

Good backup to have, his ball to Matri in the first half was great and a good finish too

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

Nice shot. We could have tried him in De Ceglie's place and Pogba to play in center.

 

[PhRoZeN]

Giacch didnt let us down one bit today. Nice to see him starting games. Keep it up.

I love those weeks where Giaccherini shows up Nocerino to be the poser chump that he is.

 

[IrishZebra]

Was good, vice-Marchisio I suppose, all right to have in the squad if you've got a good midfielder to cover up his lack of presences and ability to be seen to influence the game.

 

[Rollie]

I love Giacchy, but we can't play with that type of midfield again; way, way too lightweight, zero protection for the D; luckily we were playing Genoa. Conte should have known better than to field two WB's who are coming off an injury layoff, and 3 fairly light weight CMs.

This was a very lucky win.

 

[Red]

Can't play him with Marchisio in the MF, he should be a direct replacement of Marchisio if anything.

Agreed.

If you have Pirlo in the midfield, you always need at least one of Vidal, Asamoah and Pogba in there to provide some muscle.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Quite a performance from him. Involved in a lot of our attacks throughout the game. Certainly out best CM on the day. Hope he does equally well, if not better, whenever he's given the chance.

 

[Salvo]

He grew into the game but I agree we were a bit light weight with him in.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Great finish for his goal.

I like the way he runs at players. I'm a fan of the direct style. He is so lightweight though.

 

[JuveJay]

We should remember that was his first Juve game this season.

 

[Dostoevsky]

I love how he can cover many positions. Quite decent backup.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Can't help but think that the Euro experience have him a boost in confidence. Can't remember a game from last season where he was involved in do much of our play. I still think we have better players for the starting 11. But in such games where important players need to be tested, he'll surely be a fine backup.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

We should remember that was his first Juve game this season.

Same as De Ceglie and Caceres as well. That's why we shouldn't be too harsh on them.

 

[LowLife]

Very reliable player when called on action!

 

[Trequartista]

I like him but like some here said, he should not play in CM at the same time as Marchisio, as its too lightweight. Asamoah, Pogba or Marrone should play in Vidal's place when we rest him.

Poor first half? him and Gio were the only 2 playing well

But we definitely can't have him alongside Marchisio and Pirlo. One of Vidal, Asa or at least Pogba has to play to cover the middle

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

The lad has a lot of heart and a never say die attitude. He's the little big man...

Yes he had a very poor first half, the comments on the live thread verify that. He has shown a Di Livio/Pepe lke persistance though and i understand the sympathy, esp after the great first 15' at second half that concluded to the goal. But objectvely though, you cannot forget a whole first half and Giacche was horrible there, at his fair effort, to produce smth and everything turned out horrible, his passes, dribbles, shoots, everything...

All the while Marchisio played it safe and was objectvely far more productive and less wastefull.
As for the second half, it was completely overshowdowed by the epic performance of the turn table Asamoah, who created the penalty and sealed the victory!
So claiming that Giacche was our best man, is a bit overstretched...

And i agree, to balance the midfield a dynamic midfielder like Vidal/Asamoah/Pogba is a must!
