His finishing is not up to standard, we all knew this when we signed the fella, but my God how he moved and created chances tonight. I am gonna defend him tonight. Maybe not in general, but on this night I definitely will. We're all frustrated we didn't win. Actually, I'm fucking pissed off about it, because deep down I know we're out of the competition despite our theoretical chances of progressing. But he's not the only man responsible here, definitely not.
Well if you had it in for him before, I can understand how a frustrating night such as this with him not getting on the scoresheet would've tipped you over the edge when it comes to this player, but...still... objectively, he was one of our best players out there, it's just a damn fact.
If you hate the player, though, that's the way it is. There's no arguing with that.
Anyway buddy, let's just drink

Better than Giovinco in their respective positions:
Lucio
Bonucci
Pirlo
Marchisio
Isla
For me, he was on par with Matri tonight.
I don't like the way Giovinco is being used.
He's almost being deployed as an out and out CF.
I don't see him ever being a good enough finisher to really be successful in that role and playing right up against the last defender also pretty much removes the possibility of him being able to use his technique and vision to create for others.

Yeah Red, good post. Gio's performance tonight is much more complicated than saying he was great or saying he was shit ... I think you hit the nail on the head there. Giovinco has great technique, flair and can dribble and make good runs away from defenders, but he shouldn't be relied on to play CF. He should be deployed more out wide so that he can create chances for other players, like he did away to Siena when Marchisio popped up and scored that vital goal after Gio crossed the ball towards Chiellini.
