Horrible? I didn't think he was horrible. I thought he had a pretty decent first half. Ran a lot, spread the play nicely at times. Made some good runs. Tired a bit in the second half and was rightly subbed off.

He is definitely an impact player, although its pretty ironical, that statistically speaking he tends to score more as a starter. Not talking about just this season though.

Someone said in the match thread 'he hates Tevez'. He doesn't hate Tevez, just strike partners in general 
He has vision in the central area of the pitch and will move the ball around, but anything around the area and the blinkers go on. The exception is where he tries that give and go flick, which is mostly to avoid trying to control the ball.
Real shame he missed that early chance, but he's never been a real finisher so it's expected. Normally he'd miss that then score a harder one.

I just don't understand why Conte didn't start with Llorente against Milan(55% of their Goals Against are from headers). And he's a tall annoying player to play against, Mexes would probably go full retard(As i said earlier today also in another thread) and getting sent off early. And then put Quaglirella on after 70 mins. When their defenders are tired.

An you're right, was a shame he didn't score that. Although, I could be wrong about this, but there seemed to have been an awkward bounce just before he connected with the ball, it bounced higher. He did well to have been on the end of that chance and would've been great if he scored.
I don't disagree. Hes definitely had better days. But I think we'd be overstating if we said he was very bad. He was actuslly one of the better players in the first half when Vidal, Marchisio, Asamoah were absolutely shit. Though what was funny was, when he got subbed, the commentators said they were surprised he was coming off and not Tevez, coz Tevez wasn't having a good game. I found that hilarious, coz in my estimate, Tevez bar a few crazy moments was a contender for MoTM. Although I'd give that to Pirlo today.

I was pretty surprised Gio was his first sub. It should've been Llorente coz the game was still at 1-1. I know it may have been for the speed, but I agree that Fernando should've had a bigger role to play in tonight's game, especially given the opposition. 10 minutes was way too little.
