Disturbing, isn't it? :lol:
As I said, not bad for walking and posting whilst getting a train...with hindsight I shouldn't have bothered. However the usual Juventuz pro Jojo and anti-Gio propaganda goaded into a response.

In short (no pun intended), Gio was poor again, but the overall team performance hindered his play. As it did with Quag and Vucinic. I put that down to the 352 putting a huge emphasis on the forwards to deliver and bring others into the game. Gio is only really suited to a SS in a 442 or wideman in a 433....a luxury player at the moment.

Jojo would be perfect for the 352 however...

The agent of Sebastian Giovinco has quickly leapt to the defence of his client after some disappointing displays for Juventus.

Giovinco started the campaign well following his return to Turin after two years at Parma, but he struggled to shine in the draws at Chelsea and Fiorentina.

“He has great qualities that should not be called into question,” Andrea D’Amico told TMW. “What we must not forget is that he hasn’t really had a break given that he was at Euro 2012.

“If he plays some below-par games then that shouldn’t set alarm bells ringing. He’ll be able to re-find the right intensity with Juventus.

“The problem is that in Italy everything is looked at with a magnifying glass. If things go well then the player is hailed, while he’ll immediately get kicked off the pedestal when things go wrong.”
I suppose he would know all about that.

I really hope he'll prove me wrong, but I've got to be honest here. Really, really starting to doubt him. His physique is, and always have been, and always will be, a problem. But I had hopes that his technique and flair could make up for it. When he can't even string a few simple passes together, that's really worrying.

he's not yet in a level to change a game in which we are struggling to our favour. but to completely bash him while basically all the players underperformed (except maybe 3 players) and we didn't realy try to attack with full force, I think it's harsh.

I had too much with players arriving here with big promise and we hail them after few matches, but then they start to vanish. Diego, Melo, Amauri, Sissoko, Krasic..
In Giovinco's case it seems to be the opposite and I'm willing to see if he can improve because he has the talent.
