Was it here where someone brought up the fact that the majority of his goals last season were scored in a short run of games? I'm probably not saying this correctly but for example 4 of his goals last season were against milan
3 goals against Sampdoria on 11/3/13, 4 on 1/12/14 against Milan, and 3 against Fiorentina on 5/6/14. In 29 matches last year, he was held without a goal or an assist in 17 out of 29 matches.
This year, although he is on pace to score less goals but get more assists, he has been held without a goal or an assist in 12 out of 26 matches. And he has not scored more than 2 goals at any point this year, as he has scored 2 goals twice this season.
He's also being marked much more than last year. He's not surprising anyone this year. If anything, he has been more consistent than he was last year. And he's still only 20 years old. He is still developing
And all this talk about how many goals he scores via the penalty kick.
#1) He has caused those penalty kicks more often than taking the spot kick due to the work of someone else
#2) Remind me about the last time anyone complained about the number of goals Del Piero scored from the penalty spot.
