drucurl said:Here's why I don't like Gila (conversely it could be why I like Pato)
1) Dives all the time
2) I don't mind you boast to the press (that shows confidence) but at least make some sense:
Pato : "I'll score two vs Napoli" - That's great and excites the fans
Gila : "I'll score 35 goals in the next 100 matches" I may not be an expert at math but that's an average of 0.35 which is rather poor for an out-and out strikers. And judgoing from gila's reputation to score heaps in blowouts...it necessarily implies that he'll go missing in the big games.
3)Gila only shoots inside the box
4)Can't dribble for shit
5)One strategy : take the ball and continue running in that direction towards goal and shoot
6) Confessed to wanting to go to Juve
7) (this made me dislike him the most) After missing a penalty he had no remorse and asid he'd do it again exactly the same way
8) From the first game he ever played you could see that Sheva, Kaka and co didn't trust him with the ball. Kaka STILL hesitates to pass to him. For better or worse this hurts/limits our attack.
9)Can only play ONE position: out and out striker
10)Not a particularly fast, smart or strong guy
MilanoMichael said:Stop fucking comparing him to oli. If anything he was more like Gila last night. Missing two easy chances. Slipping and falling everywhere. Even his lone goal was a one on one with the goalie. And the idiot jumped over the ball! If he was a decent gk he would've done the normal thing and slid horizontally to try and stop the shot. Don't go peggging the kid as great yet.
J.Rome said:Question: Do you think Gila would have scored from the exact pass that Pato was given that lead to his goal?
Of course.......gila isn't as fast as Pato so by the time he got to the ball it would have been in the box > the slightest contact from the defender would have resulted in him going down> ref blows for penalty> goal scoredJ.Rome said:Question: Do you think Gila would have scored from the exact pass that Pato was given that lead to his goal?

Az. said:^^ or the more realistic option : gilla gets a yellow

When did I say anything about defenseQuinni 17 said:About half of these points are ridiculous, What do you want an out an out striker to be a defender ? Also about half of these points could be said about Gila's superior, Pippo. Nonsense to be honest.
drucurl said:When did I say anything about defense
Pippo has a vastly superior footballing brain and intelligence generally than Gila. Pippo is the MASTER of positional awareness
I have no problem with you calling my post nonesense but your failure to defend your opinion has you looking like the dumb one
Wild said:Ppl just cant admit that our Italian duo is shit.
Never liked Pippo & I gave Gila 2 many chances 2 b different than Pippo & he turned out 2 b worse.
Pato did miss sitters but I dont think any of us would v cared coz he was involved in the build up more than Pippo + Gila combined.
Pippo or Gila would v dived + earned a yellow if they were instead of Pato.
I wouldn’t v cared if he didn’t score.
On the other hand its still early 2 give him credit more than Gila & its insane 2 rate him more than Pippo who scored many goals 4 us.
Pato need 2 give much more than 1 game b4 we rate him better than our 2 shity Italians (seriously)
Quinni 17 said:Pippo and Gila are similar to be perfectly honest they are a box striker, what else do you want them to do, other than what they know ? The weaknesses you picked up on Gila can be related to Pippo as well.
San Paolo said:You people are missing the point. Forget it.
I'm not comparing Gilardino and Pato as players I'm saying if Gilardino happened to do all those things in the match against Napoli which Pato did, at this point in time of his career, people wouldn't be satisfied or praised him to the extent they did of Pato.J.Rome said:Please, by all means show me the light?
Well that's because it would have been his first decent performance after about a billion crappy ones...San Paolo said:if Gilardino happened to do all those things in the match against Napoli which Pato did, at this point in time of his career, people wouldn't be satisfied or praised him to the extent they did of Pato.
Yeah mate it should be that way but don't spin shit cos we both know that aint the case around here.shaj said:If he performs well, he'll be rated well...simple as that...
Really?San Paolo said:Yeah mate it should be that way but don't spin shit cos we both know that aint the case around here.
I noticed that too last sunday ,it reminds me of Drogba during WC 06PRIYO said:Just watched the Highlight (again), there was one scene where pato felt down in the penalty box but then he tried hard not letting the ball runs off his feet. That's exactly the opposite of Gila who often tries to control the ball but prefers to go down without any contact.
Gattuso #8 said:Gila's diving skills are really embarissing
diavolessa88 said:he's doing his best...to go down without contact. but he is always trying to improve himself and i hope that he will succeed in that.....one day
