While I wouldnt bench Higuain I can't stand there and watch you declare a guy who scored in every CL final he played in as not half as good as a player who couldnt score or assist in 4 big stage finals in a row
I always wanted Cavani, still do and still think he would be better than Higgy for us. Hope Mbappe, ADM and Draxler bench him so he wants out, it's still not too late

2 CL finals 2 goals is good for Mandzu, he is fairly driven player so nothing intimidates him, but its also fairly circumstantial, and general CL output besides those two games is no better then Gonzalo whatsoever. Its not that complicated. I take the guy who has scored 32 goals and 38 goals in last two seasons easily over someone who can barely scratch double figures. 11 goals and 13 goals is the best Mandzu could do. The difference is SIGNIFICANT in end product.
I honestly wouldn't want him starting in a final, because every time he has, he has failed miserably. I have nothing against the guy; he's been brilliant in league play, but in knockout games, and particularly in finals, his contribution is nowhere near good enough.
Do we have anyone better? Absolutely not.
Do I trust him in a final with the game on the line? Absolutely fucking NOT!
