youve always been an ardent higuain supporter who has never doubted him or called for him to be benched by mandzukic who is finished as a cf
He is simply unbencheable for us. Choker or not... he is a goalscoring machine on his day, and thats enough to use him.
We have mandzukic, but mandzukic spends most of his energy supporting the team defensively.. and what i want t ask for a 9 is to be a goal treat, not an extra defender. Higuain scores for fun , and i would gladly take the risk of using an off form higuain, knowing that he can score anytime given the chance.

Needing to be benched for poor form = a doubter now?

Work on your trolling.

But no, you werent wrong when he played through it regained form in other aspecrs of play and now looks to have regained his scoring form as well. You are never wrong.
Yeah, that’s what I meant by the “curse”. As I’ve said before it’s clearly not lack of talent, he’s always been a very good goal scoring striker. His career could look so much more glorious if he hasn’t the history of missing sitters at the most crucial moments.
I’d love to see us getting to another final and seeing him score the winning goal or just putting on an unforgettable performance, goal or not. Until he does something extraordinary that leads to a major title he can never be mentioned on the same level of someone like Batistuta. I’ll never forget how he led Argentina to victory in 91’, that’s the kind of stuff you expect a forward to do.
I think underperforming and missing easy goals in 3 finals in a row for Argentina has sealed his fate regarding being a national hero, he’s actually somewhat hated there. But doesn’t mean he can’t still be the hero WE need.

One of the main reasons why I never liked Higuain or Matri (for exemple) and I have a great appreciation for players that a lot of you guys would call scumbags such as Suarez, Neymar or even 
is that, the 's and Suarez's got A LOT of will power and will force shit to go their way, for exemple Suarez's GK efforts in WC was beautiful 
or genuinly believing he's the second coming of baggio and shooting like a retard and still not slowing down.
While the likes of Matri, Higuain and even Messi are soft as fuck, and tend to crumble when shit don't go their wait, matri a lot less then the two argies to be fair.

Oh boo hoo Higuain was low on confidence. Guy is paid a hell of a lot of money to produce regularly. He wasn’t and needed a reality check. He got one, remember? And do you remember what happened the game he was benched? He came on and scored with a renewed hunger he wasn’t showing prior.
According to you a game or two starting from the bench equals doubting him as a player
My proof is in that substitution and the goal that followed. Case closed

Why was Higuain cut from the NT and Icardi brought in? Because one was producing the other not. It’s obvious to all he will get his place back in the NT soon enough.
Point is, two different coaches related to Higuain saw a deficiency. One cut him from the team altogether and the other simply showed him that he wasn’t above being benched. But what do they know, right?
As a result since the last international break when we saw pictures of him training alone to get fit we have all seen a noticeable difference in his work rate, have we not? We have seen added praise from Allegri for his gung-ho attitude on the field helping out have we not?
He needed an ass kicking when his confidence was shot and he got exactly that. Now you see the reaction. That’s what world class professionals do. They get the fuck on with it.
