He had 4 goals in his first 14 league games last year at Madrid. So he's been far better here than that to start the year. But hopefully his slow start last year too is indicative that his finishing and game play is going to take a massive leap come the important part of the year and start destroying every opponent.
True, but worries me is besides crossing/positioning, his bread and butter in Real was getting very open looks in counter attacks, he too deadly at them. But with us, we barely counter, and he rarely gets fed on the run with defenders scrambling to recover.
We too busy with slow passing around til we cross, to play any actual through balls, high or low, and not enough players centrally who can beat a man and make that pass on transition.
This is why I badly want Pogba back. I had enough of this experiment of Mautidi being the most active CM on attack, and the one trying to combine the most with Cristiano.
In ideal world Costa would be on form and be the player to unlock space and feed Cristiano more often.
Also we are so different from Real that Cristiano needs to become more accustomed to playing as CF sometimes instead of insisting on the wing.
