This is pretty ridiculous considering Higuain won us a big game last week
He's a terrible left winger who provides nothing other than his workrate and his occasional aerial threat where he botches up the chances most of the time
Yes absolutely. Mandzukic has no business being compared to Higuaín

But he dint score. That's the whole point.
Higuain scored the winner in a big game last week, saved our asses against Sporting where we looked flat as hell, brace against Milan etc yet he is getting bashed week in week out. Now tell me what logic is that?
Irony is , Mandzukic is glorified not for his attacking skills or his goalscoring instincts but for his workrate.
There's no way he should even be considered ahead of Higuain at CF except for dead rubber games.
As for the wing position, Costa is in very good form. Criminal to bench him for an inferior LW in Mandzukic.
So ideally, his place should be on the bench.
