Watching Gio out there on the pitch for his Azzurri debut he looked like a pocket footballer. He is so incredibly small compared to everyone else on the pitch. He did all right though, you could tell he was at least annoying the Krauts....
it could've happened ..why not? we just needed to start with him in every match, he's the best offensive player that we could've had on our left flank.

If our (several members here) word isn't enough, try Prandelli's:
“Just like Stefano Mauri, Alessandro Diamanti and Andrea Cossu, Giovinco is part of our plans as we are considering players who can play in between the lines and not on the wing.
“Despite his small stature he can sometimes be a giant on the pitch.
“There aren’t many wingers right now.
“At the start we tried to focus on playing on the flanks, but for the moment I have to give up on the possibility of a winger and focus on building a very technical midfield.”
Robben doesn't defend at all. Ribery gets stuck in but he's an idiot. Bayern did pretty well with them out wide of a 4-4-2 but hey ya know, this fetish for the left defense is just too fun to give up.
