He scored and assisted against us (MOM too), assisted against Milan, scored twice against Lazio, scored against fiorentina, scored twice against Inter (MOM too), and scored once again against lazio. The big games where he didnt score are the last two games.

Morata on the other hand...
which are the games that were decisive for their season (and not only did he not score, he did nothing noteworthy). which brings us to the point PI was making. Higuain chokes when it matters the most

So unless he scores in every big game (and small), then he chokes where it matters the most :lol:

Zizinho is right here. I showed it before, but down the stretch he disappears. He did so last year and it caused Napoli to miss out on CL and get eliminated in EL semis by Dnipro. He scored 6 goals in their last 17 matches last year in the league and didn't score in their last 3 EL matches. Terrible for a supposedly top player to disappear like that.

And right now he's been invisible in his last 3 games which are the biggest of the year so far and the start of the stretch run.

how about if they had not gotten the points in the earlier games and scored in the last two?
thats all nice but if you are a 24 goals in ~20 games striker playing for the 1st placed team entering THE most important game of the season and right after that having another such game (due to the circumstances that we didnt win and they could have retaken the lead right away) and going completely invisible the way Higuain did, then you are a choker my friend. no two ways about it. because those were the games where all the pressure is on you to perform up to your best. the games up until this point werent such. Napoli was 4th-5th for a long time, then they slowly were catching form and got to 1st place. they didnt have such high pressure games up until now, where everything was on the line for them. even the previous derbies were not live or die games because they came at times where they didnt need to win at any cost. but like i said, the 2 games were they absolutely had to win, where all the pressure was on them, their best player was non existent. and thats why we all love him

:agree:

I've showed this many times. It's just not arguable. Facts show that Higuain fades down the stretch when the pressure is highest. 6 goals in Napoli's last 17 matches last season causing them to fall out of CL places, no goals in Europa SFs causing them to be eliminated...

His CL knockout record is appalling too. 2 goals in 20 knockout games :rofl:
