Of course Giovinco can offer more, no argument concerning that... but I think we've had enough of Marchionni, Giovinco can play on the right and drag into the middle whenever he's giving chance.
Nedved was probably overrated vs Lazio but at least you have a guaranteed passes/crosses and doesn't loose the ball. Not as much as Marchionni.
With all due respect to Pavel, someone that has made me proud to be a Juventino often enough, on the contrary with Marchionni I dont like him one bit. BUT, why the sacrifice of Giovinco to the right, in a position he CANT excell in as he can in the left (his whole game is based on cutting in, he is neautralized in the right because he cant cut in as well), Just for Pavels sake? Just play Marchionni in the right, and Gio in the left. Sinple
And why I quoted that bolded part, REALLY Pavel gets way too much credit because he is a legend (or not credit, but deflection from warranted criticism), but apparently its enough for people that he hustles and runs hard for him to get compliments. He hardly does zip, but isnt scrutinized as much as Marchionni, even if both arent good enough starters. But its unfair on Marchionni to be called on things, and Pavel isnt. Your bolded part is the perfect example, Pavel does zip, and hasnt assisted a goal in ages (ok last was Reggina, but in overall, hardly assists), but people will probably save he is more useful then Marchionni, the same Marchionni who assisted our only goal last night, assisted twice against Atalanta, and in overall is our best assister with Ale.
I DONT want him to be a starter because he falls short in overall, and is severely inconsistent (very frustrating despite having the qualities to do better), but credits where its due, he IS more productive then Pavel. 3 assists in two recent games says that. So there isnt any argument for benching him for Pavels sake, in a sitaution that is unproductive because it would force our Creative weapon Giovinco to play in a position he suffers in, ALL for a very unproductive Pavel.
