This is the game he needs to show his powa.

I suppouse we will have space in a lot of phases of the game because barca naturally attacks.. and will leave gaps.

I hope whoppermaster pounces

 

[Gep]

He better be hungry for this one.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Hope he doesn't have mom's spaghetti before the game or he might end up choking big time

 

[Cerval]

I don't expect him to be decisive in these type of games by default. Hopefully he proves us wrong and does a Robben

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Need him to actually step up in these kind of games. Make that 90M well spent and help the team knock out these monsters.

 

[lgorTudor]

These two games will make or break him as a transfer for me

Well it's not as if this is his first time playing against Barcelona. What's his record against them at Madrid?

Well actually, other than Higuain, another 3 key players to our game against barca are

1) Cuardrado, he can really wreck barca's defense on the wing with his trickery and crossing, and attracting fouls while bringing the ball from deep.
2) Mandzukic, his strength and aerial power is going to be a problem for mascherano etc.
3) Pjaca, a very rare breed of player who has height AND pace, two things that barca defense always have problem with

as for Dybala, I don't think he will be very effective against barca as I think Barca will force him to drop into midfield, and he doesnt seem like the kinda player that can dribble from deep like cuardardo. Hope he proves me wrong.

Only 3 goals against Barcelona in 18 matches. He started only 10 of those 18 matches.

In minutes, that's 3 goals in 931 minutes (average: 1 goal in 310 minutes), and it's pretty bad.

Agreed on all accounts, except the Dybala part. I actually think Dybala will be impactful in the home leg of this tie.

The Barca ties are Higgy's chance to prove he was worth his transfer fee and can overcome his pathetic CL record finally.

Make or break for fatty. Prove you were worth those 90mils.

Not if we lose 3-6 and he scores a hattrick. Sorry but a 90mil strikers has to deliver at that stage in this kind of game or he will be labelled a failure.

I'm not asking for much, just 1-2 goals

 

[DAiDEViL]

If our €90m man doesn't score, then because of "lack of service"

...Mandzukic on the other hand always "should have scored"

 

[Hydde]

He needs to score or at least be involved a lot if he isnt.

 

[Post Ironic]

He needs to take his chances. People keep talking about a lack of service but he is getting the ball at least a few times in each match in a position to score. His finishing has been poor in this slump. He's missed a dozen chances now since his last goal.

And this is the same reason he has only 2 goals in 22 CL knockout matches.

If he gets several chances over the two matches I expect him to take a couple of them. Otherwise he confirms his choker label.

Dude did you see the chances Mandzukic missed the past few weeks?
