5 games and 2 for Italy as a number 10 where he was underwhelming. I agree he can be useful against mid table teams but the talent isn't there for something more.

How Zonalmarking.net described the partnership with Vucinic:
The relationship between Giovinco and Vucinic was also excellent. They combined efficiently with a clear pattern – Vucinic would come towards the ball, Giovinco would sprint in behind. They attempted to bring one Chelsea centre-back out from the back, then exploited the space he’d left behind him. For the first time this season, Di Matteo’s defence looked uncomfortable playing higher up the pitch than last season.

When Messi played as LW he went to Guardiola and said he wanted to score more goals. Guardiola changed formation and that allowed Messi to score more goals. By december Ibrahimovic was the top scorer in Barcelona. Now, Ibrahimovic was scoring too many goals and so Messi played individually in front of goal, resulting in Guardiola picking out Ibrahimovic. Next game Ibrahimovic was on the sidelines and Messi played as CF. The following summer Ibrahimovic left Barcelona and everybody thought of Messi as "taking over Ibrahimovic's spot" because he was better. Everyone will agree Ibrahimovic is better then any of other strikers currently in Barcelona, yet Guardiola sent him away and made Messi the world's best player. In my opinion Barcelona as a whole would have done better with Ibra up front and Messi right behind adjusting to the tactics. Last year they lost La Liga to Real Madrid because they relied too much on Messi, and when having a bad day couldn't find the net.. Point?
Conte will need to chance the tactics to suit Giovinco if he truly believe in the players abilities. Giovinco is not the same player as Messi is, they're each their own but Messi did need a change in tactics to flourish as well. This is the point..

Barcelona relied on messi because villa was injured , that's why they lost last year , villa is a very important player in their starting 11
That said messi >>> Ibra , they did good that got rid of ibra because he is not at all suited to their game . On the other hand messi has the right mentality for their game . And as seen the year after ibra left they won the CL , i don't think it was a bad idea getting rid of Ibra

Honestly, that's what I call a cool story bro. Such a riveting tale, I honestly copy and pasted it to word, saved on my hard drive, backed it up on a jump drive, drove to the bank, put the jump drive in the safe deposit box, and will leave it there until my kids turn about 12 (when they can actually state their age, and ask what it is I'm showing them), when I will pick it up, put it in an old USB drive reader and relay this cool story to them and tell them, "kids, this is what a cool story should look and sound like...not like the stories your generation tells.
I'm not sure 4-3-3 does suit him much better, because if he starts on the wing then the fullback can get tight and out-muscle him.
Giovinco just needs to be played as a SS with a pretty free role, so that he can wander around and find pockets of space where he can receive the ball and turn to face the defence.

Agreed, he did have a couple of selfish moments last night, and could've created better with a better decision making. But I'm not sure about Europe for Gio. The game is a lot faster continentally, and when defenders keep up with him, he's all but negated purely based on the size of the opposition. In Italy, the opposition by and large may vary in build, but is generally slower and that allows Gio to do better.
But again, maybe we are overreacting. We should definitely give it another go, to identify if this really is the case, or if it was just the nerves of last night.
