Every now and then I visit these forums to check out the most recent updates, player threads, match threads etc. There seems to be this ongoing trend of giovinco fans vs giovinco haters and to be honest, it's getting very lame.

So far, out of the ten plus games giovinco has had this season, I would give him a 6.5. He hasn't proven that he is a great player, and he shouldn't be compared to the legends that have played for us. He has lacked in finishing, and has sometimes shown how easily he could be outmuscled. Having said that, he and Vucinic are our two best strikers by far. He does add plenty of quality to the team, and I think it's pretty obvious that he's been unlucky to not have a few more goals to his name.

I remember the days before he left to Parma, and he was not nearly as dangerous as he is now. He is one of the few strikers in Italy who can singlehandedly change the game. He is very skillful, and has plenty to offer us. He doesn't deserve harsh criticism by any means given how he has played so far.

Just stop with this childish bashing of one of our own, and give the little man a chance. I have no doubt that it is only a matter of time before he starts turning in some teemendous performances. He's already been our MOM in 3 or 4 games this season.

Enough with the criticism. Yes, we need more quality upfront, but Giovinco is by no means the culprit.

If you give 6.5 Giovinco, what would you give Vucinic?

Vucinic has been hot and cold, very much like last season. He should have a higher grade but based on the fact that he has been inconsistent thus far, I'd give him a similar grade to giovinco. Matri would get a 4, he has been just horrible, and quaglierella a 5.5, although I think the latter deserves a few more chances. Bentdner? we'll have to wait and see.

Our problem last year was that our midfield was carrying the team too much. Our forwards were not finishing well enough, and we had no one score an impressive number of goals individually. 12 games in, and it looks like the same story. I'm not happy with how complacent we've been in front of goal because the truth is, it should have cost us a lot more than it had.

Its actually amazing we still have a fighting chance in the CL and are top of the league if you consider how many misses we have had. Giovinco needs to build on his confidence and the goals will come; I'm not worried about him or Vuci. I'm just worried about the rest. With a heavier and more congested schedule, we'll need the others to rise up to the occasion, or else we can kiss our European aspirations goodbye. It's unfortunately possible to be this complacent in serie A and get the results these days, but not so much in the CL.

I suggest that instead of waiting for the chance to ridicule Giovinco after a game where he misses an open goal; we should be showing some faith in him for no other reason than Juventus fans ought to have more class than the rest.
