same, and can people stop overrating the little fuck.
he did nothing usefull, we lost our entire attack when quag went off. wrong player at the wrong moment
Really? I didn't see anything useful from Quag. Both he and Vucinic were static receiving the ball and trying silly flick layoffs against a wall defense. Pretty much every chance broke down. Did we even have a shot on goal first half? I think maybe one from Quag, which should have been called offside.
Giovinco was certainly playing against more tired players, but they were hardly on their knees at that point. His movement and speed was far more useful in stretching the defense, it created more space for Vucinic and the Milan defense got deeper to respond. Defenders want to play against someone they can easily track, who they can directly go up against, and that's what they had with Vuci-Quag playing back to the wall football. Those Milan donkeys don't want to be chasing some little insect running across their back line.
Giovinco's problems remain that even with his movement he isn't decisive, and loses too many physical duels.
Incidentally, that mongoloid Yepes was extremely lucky to have not given a penalty away for that late challenge on Giovinco. He basically just smashed straight through him. If Giovinco had tried to control that header or delayed it then the ref would have to seriously look at it. I've noticed that defenders are generally allowed to throw him around like a doll even when it's an obvious foul, as if because he is so lightweight he would never have won the duel anyway. I'm not sure that's quite how you are supposed to officiate a game, but I've noticed it a lot in Serie A.
