If he plays well every time he is called upon, why isn't he being called upon semi-regularly?
Conte after the first year, and now Allegri don't play him.
Theories, anyone?

In the last 10 years or so, Juventus have never used a wingers based system..which seems to be the ONLY type of formation in which he can deliver his goods. yeh, we had Camo who was a hell of a winger... but in general our system was not winger based.
As a result , i think he grew frustrated and is the half player he is now.
I don't hate him, but I don't think he "almost always performs". The man has like 20 goals in 130 appearances. Last year in Serie A he had what, 3 goals and 2 assists in 30 appearances in all competitions? He is a very frustrating player to watch, because even though you know what he is capable of, sometimes he will perform, but most of the times he won't. Especially last year he didn't seem to be able to do anything right.
And I don't think people remember too well. Gio's first season under Conte (which was Conte's second in the Juve bench) was his best. He had the most goals and most playtime. His second season under Conte (last season) was godawful.
