Can't believe this dude is outshining our strikers. FFS, that's how fucking bad they are.

What did he do?

 

[K.O.]

What did he almost do?

fixed.

 

[ALC]

Gave some good passes. Unlike Tom and Jerry.

 

[icemaη]

He's been here a few weeks and in the twilight of his career, still looks better than the rest. He even ran back to defend. I don't think I've ever seen him do that in his life.

 

[Gian]

He knows how to move and give passes.

He's miles ahead of our current bunch of so called strikers.

 

[Vinny Del Pogba]

He needs to start the next match.

Anelka was always a better footballer than the rest of our strikers..too bad he's almost 34! Just wish he was 10 years younger

 

[X Æ A-12]

He needs to start the next match.

No, he really doesn't. Maybe a sub appearance.

 

[The Curr]

I think he will start. Siena at home should be an ideal type of match to give him his first start in.

Siena and Celtic are two great opportunities to see what he can do for 70-80 mins.

I don't think he's match fit just yet.

What a huge slap in the face for Gio. Conte decided to play a proper striker as AM instead of Gio, because he doesnt trust his creativity enough to play him in his original position

i'm not sure if he's ready. The Celtic tie is over so I'm all for playing him in that but we need the Serie A points and we don't exactly have a history of just easily swiping aside the minnows, even when it's at home.

Giovinco isn't creative anymore.

Fair enough. He better start vs. Celtic, tho. I want to see him play for more than 15 mins.

 

[Suns]

I want him to start next game.

Also, why was he used as an offensive midfielder when he got on?

Mirko and Seba?

Anelka isnt what you would call a proper striker at all (far from it), has been a natural second striker since his teens, I would say one of the factors of his career faltering is being misused/missunderstood as main striker (besides his character/attitude, inability to handle pressure), and hence be expected to produce amount of goals he isnt really built to deliver as a player (was ze case with PSG, Arsenal, Real and Pool), when his main skills is link up play and movement really, which he allways been fantastic at.

For this game, he was used in the hole in those last 15 mins, because he wouldnt be bullied off the ball as much as Gio, and latter is better of being wide and crossing or running into channels (as was ze case in that only chance he had).
