Parma played 3-5-2 very often past season...
The difference is in how the teams play. Juventus have alot of possesion and when they face other serie a teams, they often face a wall of defenders. As a winger (wide-forward) I see no problem with Giovinco, but in a two-man attack I see him struggle due to his lack of physical attributes. A really good and strong center forward might be able to make enough room for him. But not Matri, Quag or Vucinic.

Close to the goal, he will easily decide games with through balls, dribbles or even winning free kicks. He makes up for his lack of physicality, just like hundreds of other players do... At the byline he can be fouled, not around the box, because they know he'll convert them...

1+2: Perfect reasons to why Giovinco will do good here!.. 3: You dont need to be physical to beat a defender..

If Giovinco gets room to operate. But I don't think he would in a two-man attack - unless we sign a better center forward than what we have. Him surrounded by six players in front of the penalty area will do him no good. Just like many other similar players to him. He needs to operate as a wide-forward to succeed accordingly to his talents.

This really.

He has his positives, and im pretty sure that he has learned to deal with his lack of physical attributes in teh way of forcing defenders to take him down and earn freekicks. Also, if he cannot pass, Gio has a very good eye for though passes and assist. He does per game an average of 3 potential goal assist. We just need now a very good goal scorer to convert at least one one of them.
