Fernando Llorente (175 Viewers)

[swag]

The thing I'm going to remember from today is his partnership with Giovinco. Both can be excused since this is probably the first time they play together, but boy did Iaquinta-Amauri seem world class compared to what we witnessed today.

Llorente-Giovinco is a circus act. You could stack two Cancer Boys and still not reach Nando's height.

Yet managed a goal and an assist.

And that's what poachers do. Look like rubbish for 88' out of the match, but show up big when it counts. (Hello, Trezeguet.)

I wouldn't say he did enough on Asamoah's goal for that to really be considered a proper assist.

Proper or not, still an assist. I'm one that believes a Striker's job (especially one of Llorente's style) is to score goals. Did he have a good match overall? No, but achieved his objective plus an assist and gave us 3 points. Good enough to me.

Let's take it from him then.

This is hilarious, proper assist.

He did his job and more than that today, case closed.

Fernando Llorente is the best header of the ball Serie A has seen since Oliver Bierhoff.

Woohoo happy he reached double digits in Serie A, still on course for the league top scorer as I predicted before the start of the season.

This is hilarious, proper assist.

Why?

You don't think Llorente deserves less credit for his 'assist' than a player who actually did something good to create a genuine, clear chance for a team-mate?

I love this guy.

Even on his not so-good day like today, he showed up to make the difference.

Zamorano était très fort en jeu de tête qu'on l'a surnommé l'helicopter.

I'm not debating whether there are better assists around, certainly there are, but you can't diminish his assist in a way you did. For instance someone scores an easy tap in, or deflection, and then you have someone who scores a beauty from 30 yards, but can you claim that the first player didn't score a proper goal? In the end the impact is the same.

It seems that there is very little understaing between Lloretne and Giovinco and that's why a lot of Fernando passes were off the mark. There is still a room for improvement, especially when it comes to shooting on the goal. His headers and balance are top-notch though, and all in all he is really useful.

I don't agree with all the criticism he received today. Looks like the only good thing he's done was the goal, but IMO it wasn't the only one. He's taken a lot of long balls and played some good lay-offs, like in the Asamoah goal. He's been a bit less precise than the usual, but this also thanks to Chievo's defending, who's been very good in closing spaces.

 

[DUKAC]

He was bad today.Way too many errors and wrong passes .Okay he scored but everyone will score from that position.The ball hit him at hi head.His understanding is triple better with Tevez than Gio.

 

[Linebreak]

Llorente was rubbish today.

Harshest criticism Red has ever exhibited on these forums. Fascinating.

Regardless, his goal sealed the game, true sign of a champion.

 

[Roman]

Even not in his best game,or even weak game can be said goal+assist

And i just loveee how emotinal he is about playing for Juve on his FB wall.always nice posts

Forza Nando!!!
