Napoli is a well oiled machine right now. They create scoring chances for fun. Obviously Higuain will be the main beneficiary of these chances. Higuain is a great striker but he's not in the top tier. And he has choked in the big moments.

But if you give him chances he will score tons of goals.

You consider Dnipro the kind of big team match that he flops in so your standards for a big match are actually quiet low. By higher standards than yours (teams bigger than Dnipro) you should include all these exceptions:
lol what are you talking about? Dnipro was the EL semifinal. the game(s) were decisive for the team and higuain choked. same as WC final, vs Lyon in CL 2010 etc. half of the games you listed werent even decisive for his team as they would change very little in their season even if they lost (some of them i believe they even did), or the games wouldnt end much diferently even if Higauin didnt score/assist. he played 7 seasons for Madrid and in 48 games in CL scored an astounishing 8 goals. Morata who you love to belittle on every occasion for example has scored 8 CL goals already the last 3 season in just 24 games. and most of them were very decisive for us as they got us to a CL final

Apparently Roma want to hire an assistant to help Garcia with taking charge of defense tactics :D
Most footie teams have a group of technical staff anyway, no? I guess that it's public that Roma don't trust him with defensive tactics is embarrassing but is it really so rare that there might be a division of labor among the coaches which plays to their strengths?
