So...if Gio scores its because of bad defending and bad tactics. If Matri scores its simply because of his skill. Paradoxical
Matri scores because he has very good off the ball movement, is very good at moving in channels, and manages to stay on his feet when he goes shoulder to shoulder to a pass of any kind


giovinco's off the ball movement is quite mediocre compared to matri, who is by very far the best in our team in that aspect.

also, matri is allways closely defended cause players dont expect him to pull a sudden trick or acceleration.

Actually, serie a respected giovinco to much. think he was like messi and suddenly burst past you without the chance for a tackle cause ur to close.

when they found out he cannot do that at all, they simply defended him as close as they defend a limited attacker and wham. giovinco became useless.

Its best giovinco goes to spain. He could do something there perhaps

This is ridiculous, you're not being fair at all in your judging.

No it's not and stop being so daft for fuck sake.
And here we go. You are reading Zach's post right? Praising Matri for all the right things but not once do I hear how Ambrose misjumped vs Celtic...

Refer to above. You don't score 9 goals by accident, Zach.

Me and Zacheryah are far from the same person. The problem with you and Gio is that you're not even admitting to be biased. You're as bad with him as Baggio is with Quags, but atleast he admits his extreme bias and we can all shrug it off with a smile when it happens.

So who is really being "daft", because the post you quoted was in reply to Zach's incorrect criticism of Gio while praising Matri, not once did I show "extreme biased". And yes I am biased, its self evident, but I don't strut around saying Gio is the answer to our problems. I often criticize him during matches, and do agree that Gio needs to understand the system better. I just don't argue wit the baseless claims that he has absolutely failed and is "mediocre". Just as @baggio doesn't with the unfair criticism Quags received

Like the goal he scores vs Cagliari when he got a rebound? you can't say that was bad defending or bad save from the keeper? How about the freekick GIovinco scored, probably the wall wasn't set properly, or the goalkeeper was shit?

Bias? Nzoric, you said Gio has been a "major failure" even though he's one of our top producers this season. That's bias, isn't it?

Sure, he has been bad too but what me and Kasaki don't like is the unfair judgement he's getting. The tone on this thread has to be more balanced if we're going to discuss his performances.

even though he's one of our top producers this season.
majority of his goals were not decisive goals.

he's too physically limited to play against decent defending and cannot make a difference for us in desperate times.

cash him to spanish club, he can be the 5/6th top scorer in la liga.

Opinions are not facts, I know that, you know that, and this forum knows that.

Ah yes, I forgot about how Balotelli failed under Mancini. Since when does not playing constitute as failing?

since he actually did fail, why is it so hard for you to understand that he sucks? at least at the juve level, you either dont watch our games or are in irreversible denial concerning this dude

it's not unfair, you hide behind numbers garnished in garbage time, we actually watch the games, theres a reason he doesnt start when we have some of the worst forward lines in recent history

How do you explain the fact we spent millions on a base of players we can't rely on when the first teasers are out? Some things just go unexplained.

Except Vucinic. He's just an overrated one trick pony consisting of flicks to the opposite shirt.

actually the explanation is really simple, conte the coach who won the scudetto undefeated last year thinks and believes vucinic is better, which is, for the nth time, clear as day to anyone who watched the games and isnt in denial

I watch the games, and Vucinic sucks a hard long donger constantly yet he gets a free pass from the majority of the forum because he isn't Giovinco.
Vucinic is inconsistent, but even in bad games he helps with linking up the play. We dont have a really good frontline, but he's the best of them and the only one that can be decisive on his own.

there also arent incredible annoying fanboys

there also isnt the past insults that giovinvo gave us

Seba isn't even really a support striker. So you think Pogba sucks because Turd Ferguson didn't manage to keep him?

Managers have player preferences just like everybody else, doesn't really prove anything.

Any reasonable fan knows Vucinic is deplorable more times than not.
