People put way too much stock in turnovers for creative players. It's like they equate a turnover to a great pass. They are not the same. A turnover means nothing to me unless the player is turning it over every time he touches (which yes, Mirko CAN do but it is in no way a frequent occurrence).
A forward's job is to create. If he creates a goal, it's worth 10 turnovers to me. And this fact is especially relevant on this current squad where he is the only creative force up front.
We face a ton of parked buses now. There will always be a high amount of turnovers because it will always require much more creativity and risk to break through these tight teams in Italy. But most of the time when he gives the ball away we recover it immediately anyways and try again. It's better to keep pushing the limits of the defense and risking turnovers than to simply get on the ball and pass backwards incessantly.
If we can destroy Serie A two years in a row with him as our best attacker then he is doing something at least half right.
