Podolski can still win over inter fans.

The forward has failed to impress since joining
the club on a loan deal until the end of the
season, having failed to score or make an assist
in eight appearances
Inter legend Giuseppe Bergomi believes Lukas
Podolski can still play a crucial role for the club in
the end of season run in and win over supporters
who have criticised his recent displays.
The forward joined the Serie A side from Arsenal
on a six-month loan deal in January but is yet to
score or make an assist in the eight league
games he has played so far.
The Germany international's underwhelming start
to life at San Siro has seen him come in for
criticism from supporters, but Bergomi believes
he can still win their respect.
"In Milan, it is in the psyche of the supporters not
to hesitate to criticise a player," he told Kicker.
"They immediately expect more from such an
experienced player.
"If Lukas shows a bit more character and heart in
the next games, the Inter fans will reward it with
applause. I'm sure he has what it takes to
become crucial at Inter for the remainder of the
season.
"In the 1-0 defeat to Fiorentina on Sunday,
Podolski played in a 4-3-1-2 as a second striker,
and this is not his ideal position. The coach then
turned around after 30 minutes and pulled him to
the left.
"Although he didn't have a good game, he's not
the only one there. The midfield and defence were
poor. He is at a team still developing after a
change in coach and in players."
The 29-year-old was voted the second worst
January signing in Serie A behind AC Milan's
Alessio Cerci in a poll ran by Italian newspaper
Gazzetta dello Sport earlier this week.
