Im guessing sarcasm but if not I dont know. On Higuain, everytime the ball goes into him, it sticks which helps us when we are building and playing in the final third. His movement is very impressive, for me probably better than Costa's. We need to find him, similarly to the issues Morata had at times, the service did lack. Theres no doubt about it trying to play it to him more often would result in more chances and goals for him. His career speaks for itself, if you give him chances, he will score. 100%. His fitness isn't amazing, Sarri said before Fulham he would need another 2 or 3 weeks or so to get up to full speed so lets give him that chance. Even for not being fully fit you can see in his movement he offers more than Morata, Giroud or Eden as a false 9. Yes he lacks that yard or two of speed but hes never been hugely fast in his career but is fast enough and more importantly enough, clinical enough.

Our results under Interim Managers are mind-blogging. CL, Europa, FA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are concerned about our inconsistent form. I truly believe if we win our next 3 games we will make top 4. Potentially 4 if win the game in hand against Brighton. Johnnyeye and mccg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 We just have to accept we got a middle of the road loan player in. He looks good in comparison to the absolute horse we sent to Atletico, but he's simply a middle road stop gap. His movement at times is good but he is slow and laboured most of the time. He will get goals because he still has the 'want' but apart from that we simply have to take what. we get from him, end of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? For exactly what we did today ... Inconsistency!!! We ourselves cant be confident that we could pull off the next 4-5 games. United have got their common sense back so they are clearly doing well ... Arsenal are inconsistent as well but it primarily against the big team and I dont think they have any big team left. So clearly favs to be top 4. And Spurs I think they would be safe, it would be a disaster if they drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So out of 5 odd Interim we won nearly won 2 CL, Europa, FA. Comment was in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiguaÃn has not been much of an upgrade at all. 3 goals against two relegated teams and other than that he looks lethargic and is easily shifted out the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done a fairly decent job to be honest, nice link up play, few goals and poses a threat when he get's chances. More than what we've had since Costa.

If you compare Higuain to what we had after Costa, then sure, he does look decent but overall, Higuain hasn't been great really. All this praise about his movement, link-up play is almost like people used to praise Torres for working hard etc when he's supposed to be scoring the goals.

A better one would be Eto'o for his first few months here, off the pace but still evident why he has the record he did. !Hazard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
