Regarding the bolded part: I'm starting to feel a little bad that you can't seem to grasp that Conte has obviously directed Giovinco to shoot the ball at will, at virtually every opportunity. Look at how he's being fielded, ffs.
It's like people asking "why does Bonucci keep trying all those long balls?" Seriously. You think these guys just continually disobey the manager's directions, yet continue to get consistent minutes? Or do you think Conte isn't aware of what's going on? Maybe he's too far away from the pitch to see what's happening out there?
remember that i said that after gio destroyed our chances in cl. we are almost sure of going out with that result, and i blame gio for not doing his job, and wasting too many chances.
That said, I think we're due for a couple of tactical adjustments, starting with the way this player is fielded. To a point, it's like when Claudio was being fielded at LM; he can do a job, but ultimately you're not going to be taking advantage of the player's strengths, and it's disappointing.
