so apparantley one game where for gio against the team that managed to keep the likes of messi, iniesta, robben, ribery, in control, and suddenly it's like we are talking about amauri

whatever happened to having faith and being patient?

he will do good, but it's silly to expect him to have great perfrmances all the time, especially considering he is still gelling in the team

Good post. Not writing him off completely, I was just really itching for him to be subbed. It obviously wasn't working out.

I think he can do great things with Juve, but he sucked tonight, it's as simple as that.

Indeed. It's probably many of the same people who were criticising the club for not giving him a chance who are writing him off after one match.

No. Its the "I told you so's" that are running ramped.

But hey, his 2 goals are already forgotten among the other things he has done well. Nothing new here.

 

[Hust]

Oh Fuck off with he isn't ready for a big team. Based on one hard Champions league game.

This.

There is one guy in particular that is knee-jerking. Hope you are referring to him.

Agreed.

People are too harsh on him. Plenty of members defend Bonucci who's cost the most goals since Conte took over. We should give more time Giovinco. There is no understanding between him and Vucinic, and MVP. It will take some time.

Forza Seba!

Horrible game. Was outmuscled, intimidated and disappointing in his general game.

I can only think of one or two occasions where he troubled the Chelsea CBs. I don't think he suits these types of opponents.

He positions himself right at top between the centre backs, he needs to sit wider or deeper in the space

he doesn't do so by himself.. coach tells him to do so.

“Giovinco does what we ask him to, as the strikers need to play into space. He will get better fitness levels soon and no doubt make himself heard in Europe as well.” - Carrera

True. The problem is that our midfield line is stacked with 5 players, with Marchisio and Vidal constantly roaming and filling in these spaces. And more importantly, Vucinic goes back all the time. Giovinco should be the one to do it, and Vucinic should play with his back to defenders. This was all wrong. Hopefully Conte will notice.

It's so obvious that it makes you wonder why he is even playing as a CF. Towards the end of the game we saw the only two times when he went out to the left flank and both times he got into position to put in a good cross or shot (Cole headed the cross, the shot was poor). Why he is battling big central defenders is a mystery, he needs to drop off and wide. It's why he could never be a real trequartista, and why the 4-3-3 really suits him best.

 

[The Curr]

By far Juve's worst player last night. I can't see his supposed partnership with Vucinic ever coming good.

People saying "it's only one game" don't get the point. Giovinco so far only had 1 good game, against Udinese, that's the problem. He is bullied by most defences so far this season and I've been worried about this since Supercoppa. He isn't living up to his potential so far. I wish he did, I hope this changes, but it looks worse and worse. I have no doubt that we will see some good games from him, probably against middle table teams in Serie A, but it's not what he was bought for.

 

[Bianconero81]

Jovetic

 

[Salvatore]

Played too high up the pitch with his back to goal. You saw that when he played in between midfield and defense he had time to turn and start running at defenders, that's when they find it a lot more difficult to harass him in this system. I guess that's the problem of not having someone that will play the penalty area and can match up to the likes of Terry physically.

The sooner we get someone like Džeko/Llorente, the better.

I dont think he is being played right, he is too static and to close to the defences, forcing him to receive the ball too close to the defenders or with his back to the goal, and there he cant use his dribbling or pace.

He needs to drop deeper and either attack the defenders with the ball or make runs into space, but he cant drop deeper because he is being played with Vučinić who drops back himself.

Basically, I dont think they can play together. Its either one or the oother and right now I'd try with Vučinić and matri/Bendtner against Chievo.

We have played like 4 games for fucks sake, he is still gelling. He shouldn't be the one with his back to goal, he can play as an SS but he must be given a more free role. He scored 2 fucking goals the other week. There is no basis to suggest he will only play well against mid table teams.

5 games. I don't like what I saw in them. Lets hope this changes.
