Indeed. He is a tank and probably the hardest man to mark in Italy right now.

Even though he's not your typical lying deep number 9 striker, he's been scoring like one. All his goals were from a typical poacher. I still think he'd be in the 2,3 goals per match number if we had the right wingers/better crossers, if our team was to revolve around him in most offensive plays.

I grew up with those tall, strong and lethal strikers. Messi does nothing to me. I Fucking love this guy.

In fact, correct me if i'm wrong but i can't recall in at least the last 10,15 years, a striker who would score headers week in week out. I know Cavani would do it once in a whole but it certainly felt like it was a thing of the past. This guy :rab:

I thought Tevez was getting in his way a bit today. Kinda annoying. Llorente was trying to bring some balls down in the box and Tevez was running underneath him and flubbing it up.

Yeah, there were a few times that Tevez probably got too close to Llorente.

Not something Tevez does often because he always wants the ball, but there are times he could do with making runs that are purely designed to create space for others, rather than looking to get the ball himself.
