Sure, he plays coz he holds or helps the attack flow better in Conte's preferred formation, but how you assume he creates so much for the team around him? You are the resident statistician. Please have a look at his number of assists, and let's forget the handful of goals and tell me, as the focal point of our attacking play you are satisfied with that and the amount of responsibility he has taken on himself as a result of his role, that Conte has given him.
How does it matter who I, hearing it from? Whether I hear it from Marrotta or Nzoric, the expression of the opinion that he is world class doesn't change the fact that it is debatable.
So Conte giving Vucinic a start happens for a good reason and its best for the team etc. I'm sure you uphold that opinion when you see Borriello start too.
Haha. This is not about my favourite or your favourite. It is about the team and what's best for the team. Personally, I feel Del Piero, Quag, Matri, have all carried out their responsibilties in the time that they've gotten and Vucinic hasn't despite being more talented than them and having arguably the favour of the coach. Theres nothing to suggest that he deserves to hold on to a starting role because his talent has not had any impact for us in proportion to the responsibility he's been given and the time that he's had. You may feel Quag doesn't deserve it, thats fine. And I may feel Elia does. Thats a subjective matter. But I will always go with what's best for the team, and any bias aside, Vucinic has not lived up to even the most basic expectations. So he's certainly not anymore deserving, even more so for his selfish, lax attitude.
