Gonzalo Higuaín (44 Viewers)
- Thread starter Marc
- Start date
4231 with Higuain and Dybala switching places at times has worked and can work well. 4312 with Berna behind Dybala and Higuain also can work well if we have a dynamic midfield trio to back it up and Berna lives up to expectations. I disagree that we cannot find a solution that suits both our best attacking players, I think they can form a decent partnership, but they sure need a lot of pampering for 2 supposedly WC strikers.
Love how he's the only one who gets called useless and stuff when our whole attack didn't work last night. But somehow Douglas Costa was "decent" and Dybala just had an off night. Some people here act like they chipped in for the 90mil Juve paid. Mandzukic would have been just as useful last night, don't kid yourselves.
To make tuz happy this guy needs to start from his own box, race the length of the field, dribble past 3 defenders and slot one into the top corner. Only way he will score when he isn't getting ANY service. What chances did he miss last night? I am not even trying to play Mr. Apologetic but I just feel some of you have no clue how a poacher scores his goals
How do you know some faster striker will not get in some chances Higuain couldnt? Service depends on striker characteristics same as a way of playing. He is best central striker Juventus have and its useless to complain and talk about benching him. But he have some serious limits. Football is much faster every year and it will be harder and harder in the future for that kind of players.
What's his record in the CL exactly? Did we fork out 90 million for a guy to win us Serie A? I fucking think not. In terms of his contribution in Europe, if we're giving out grades, Higuain barely gets a C. He's a world class striker who scores goals, right? Well, guess what? He hardly scores in Europe.
Higuain avoids UEFA sanction
Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain has avoided disciplinary action for a rude gesture to Barcelona fans last night.
The former Real Madrid player was seen giving the finger to the stands at Camp Nou in last night’s Champions League match, which could have led to a UEFA ban.
However, the governing body has today confirmed that no disciplinary proceedings have been opened with regard to that match.
Celtic have been charged after a fan invaded the pitch in their 5-0 home defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, with the away fans accused of damaging seats at Celtic Park.
FC Basel are also under investigation for setting of fireworks in their defeat to Manchester United.
UEFA trolling us hard cause they know he isn't cutting it

Too late for that, we spent on 90 mil on this guy. Its well known that i've never been a big fan, his goal scoring instincs may still be there, but he regressed so much, he seems slow, out of shape. At least in his last year in Napoli, he could create for himself once in a while, right now it seems like he couldn't even protect to the ball against any defender.

I know the huge price tag wasn't his fault (..but Beppes), but a €90m player HAS to be able to do something on his own, like dribbling past a defender for example. Play Dybala up front. Even if he's having a shite game he can still have one or two glimpses of brilliance. Isolated Higgy on the other hand is a waste of space...if he could at least protect the ball with his massive body, but he can't even do that.
Or Play Mandzu up front for all i care. At least he'll run his socks off.

That's why comparing him to the likes of Suarez and Lewandoski is absurd and ridiculous. Doesn't matter what era in Football, the best strikers in the world always show up against the big dogs. That's why they're the best at said period. It's their job.
When you pay that much for someone at his age, with that much experience you expect him to be the man to rely on when needed the most. We KNEW about Higuain's history, we knew he could never handle the pressure of the big stage. Yet we decided to hope that would change and spent a shitload of money on him. This has always been on us. But I guess our goal has always been to keep winning domestic titles cause honestly if our board came out and said they were building a team to win a CL trophy this guy wouldn't be here. He cannot handle the big stage, period.

You mean the Mandzukic who was starter CF for 2 seasons prior and couldn't score for fvck all? Struggled to get to double figures. Chiellini was more deadly scorer at some parts of the season FFS.
Best thing that happend to Mandzukic and us is him being turned into winger, because if he was only considered as CF we would defenitely sold him this summer most likely. He lost his consistent scoring instinct in the box for Croatia and has.
