He was bullied off the game completely for like 50-55 minutes, Napoli were aggressively pressurring and tackling all of our players (in that same time frame I would say pretty much all our players besides Asamoah and Licht were bullied off the ball in 1-1 sitautions), extra worse for Gio due to his size and that as an attacker he allways received the ball when it was in contention and his back to the opponent/goal (they shut Pirlo out of the game most of this time, so most lanes for passes were poor). Pretty much completely nullified due to that, add to that the slippery surface making him loose balance due to his quick turns, his possession retaining rate was extremely poor due to it. But mostly what mattered (because above scenarios are mainly conditions of a single game) was that he was visibly the new guy to the team, how he moved and rest of the team did was different (was too high up most of the time, instead of taking part of the build up).

He picked it up to decent level 2nd half/over time because he got more in synch and in tune with the others. Plus Napoli were more defensive while not pressurring as aggressive due to getting tired, offering more space/time. Overall in, between a ok to somewhat dissapointing game for him for the full of it. Which is incidently what I would say is say the case for the team in overall, average performance, with a chosen few being good individually (Asamoah, Vuci, Vidal slightly latter on).

:tup: agree for the most part. but rain should not be an exuse for him. he needs to be able to play when its raining, and somewhat change his game.

imo he dribbles to much and tries to hard. he proved today that against a compact defence he is not effective. hopefully he will improve and learn to adopt to how we play. he needs space to be good, and he will not get much of that this season

It's better for him to play in the 4-3-3 as he has more space on that left side. If he is going to play in a front two he has to play deeper and run at defenders, it's quite pointless him trying to battle them physically.

He did show some nice touches in the second half where he wised up and started to lay the ball of and go for quick 1-2s rather than holding it.

Difficult game for him, wet pitch. But I was very well impressed. His quickness and aggresiveness remain the same, but his decision making and first touch really improved. Along with his shooting skills. Really optimistc about him.

Even with hands in the air he was the shortest guy on the pitch.

Like expected, he linked up pretty well with Vucinic and played a good second half.

Yeh , i take this from this game...we can work on this couple but maybe with the 4-3-3?.

In a game where this 2 will be firing on all cylinders, they would do a good show indeed.

So, are you saying our players should try less? :shifty:
