i am at a loss of words for how often he bails us out. i am not a huge fan of mirko but you have to give credit when it's due. he is the only player we have who is consistently able to find room for himself to shoot on goal. his physical presence is of huge help here and i think that we would not have scored if it was not for him. giovinco is just too small to create space for himself to shoot. he would need to play the ball 1 metre to the side of his opponent to gain space to shoot, but since he needs two or three steps to even get that far the defender just reaches out with his leg and blocks it and quagliarella is equally clueless finding the space for a shot even though he has arguably the best shooting technique of our strikers.
thank you mirko
