Against Sassuolo, one of the worst teams in the league. Perspective is important. Higuain scored 3 goals and Khedira had a doppieta :D

He was a major contributor, but let's not make him out to be the new DP or Baggio just yet. He definitely deserves more playing time, but he's still behind Dybala and even Cuadrado for me.
I was half-joking with this post, but in all seriousness I believe he deserves more playing time for sure, if not more starts.

I misinterpreted then. Apologies. I've never noticed him to be a Cuadrado/Costa type player to try to run at and dribble players. When getting closer to attack he will cut in across players and shoot or pass. Also makes quite a few good runs into the box. But not really a run straight at the defender with the ball and dribble them type.

His pace isn't bad. He's faster than Dybala imo, but he'll never be a speed demon. A bit soft right now too.
Yeh. Thats what i like about him. He keeps things simple, but at the same time chooses good decitions most of the time, and near the area he keeps it in possesion, does a killer pass, or shoots himself, mostly on goal.

He is effective. No nonsense.
Ok thanks guys thats what i was trying to figure out as i never watched him play before joining Juve so i assumed he was a pacey direct winger and everytime i watched him play i was getting frustrated at him for not driving at defences or using his pace but i understand now :tup:

Who? Khedira? What does he have to do with it?

But he finds himself in positions to assist and score nonetheless. Why should it matter? It's just another style of play to reach the same objective. A more intelligent and arguably more effective style. To add, he can cross very well but he also makes more vertical through passes and that suits Higuain a lot more than constant crosses from either Cuadrado or Costa.
Its cool i agree i just didnt know that this was his style of play my original post was more of a question.
