and that is also not better than Mandzukic, apart from being a RW actually
Costa in 2015/16 (his best season at Bayern) played on the left 25 times and on the right 12 times.

He had 12 assists and 3 goals from LW. He was involved in 15 goals in 25 games. That's 0.6 goals or assists/game.

He had 3 assists and 1 goal from RW. He was involved in 4 goals in 12 games. That's 0.3 goals or assists/game.

is that why he sucks ass against any top team he plays against from the left side?

Are we not a top team? He tore us a new one in the first leg of the Ro16.
yep, he was unplayable in the 2nd game where he played on the right. in the 1st game he didnt do much other that the assist on the 1st goal, which came from the right side after we lost the ball in midfield

His assist came from the left side and he was tearing our right side a new one in the first game too.

I thought he was good today. He hit the framework twice. He was actually trying to make things happen. If Mandzukic was playing and he passed the ball back to Sandro instead of trying to shoot like Costa did, no doubt that everyone would be praising him for "being smart is possession".

yes, after we lost the ball in midfield, and it got to him after a cross from the right. its not like he created the goal by beating his man and crossing. and no, he wasnt tearing us apart in the 1st game, and this was the form of his life we are talking about

Nice to see the majority of real world juventini are different than the ones bitching on tuz.
Dai, I love his grinta and his overall character, but unless he is going to be our cf, which he wont unless its rotation for higuain, he needs to stay on the bench. His role as a lw has been figured out, given its always the same diagonal ball in which he lays off or his hold up for the overlapping lb.

So what? Who is the alternative? I Rather play him for his grinta, his quick lay offs and his headers, before i play a glued-to-the-line Costa, fireing in his 50 random crosses per game for whoever get's his head to it. A Costa that has been figured out to be a pure pacedemon before even joining us.

Head down, Beat man, run to corner flag, cross (no matter if someone is in the box or not...) Much creativity. Most brainless player in the current squad.

Or maybe that you are too much of a blockhead to see he is not cutting it as a winger?

Listen, he is a warrior and all that yada, we know that but its time for him to return being a CF.

Stop spilling nonsense and fanboyism.

Did you saw costa vs barcelona?.

Our team with mandzukic in his current standard of performance is disfunctional. So drop your charade. No matter how many ironic comments and jokes you tell, you cant mask whats going on anymore.
