meh. he is having a disappointing season for sure but calling his straight numbers "abysmal" is a little strong

his numbers are below par, but far from disastrous.

I'd go as far and say his numbers are impressive - considering the shape he was (is?) in for large parts of the season.

 

[Vialli_92]

Just compare his numbers to the season before and after he joined us

Higuain scored 35 in 36 appearances in his last season at Napoli

At juve he scored 24 in 38 the next season after Napoli


Maybe he just doesn't get a lot of service here?

If you watch his goals he scored for us half of them were great goals from him where he had a lot of work to do and did well to score them

he gets far less service here then he did at Nipples hardly a surprise he isn't going to score like he did there.

jeez, the guy had one of his best games against atalanta, and peeps are still whining

:facepalm:

Vialli92, Higuain has always been a 20-25 league goal striker. He had exceptional season in 2015-16, perhaps the greatest ever individual Serie A season.

Vialli just talks rubbish. Takes a single season out of place Higgy's career and tries to say it's the rule rather than the exception.

In Serie A Higgy scored 17 in 32 in 13/14. He scored 18 in 37 in 14/15.

Last season he scored 24 in 38, and that's after showing up fat and out of shape. It was only the second season of his entire career with over 30 goals in all comps.

1 exceptional season at Napoli doesn't outweigh a career of being a guy a a few more or less than 20 in the league each season.

@Nedved96 @Vialli_92 Brilliant performance from City. 70% possession, 20 shots on goal, 123456 passes completed and most important of all a goal scored by intricate teamwork and not due to set pieces/ individual brilliance.

I’m loving this.

Was it Vialli_92 who said he didn’t enjoy our third goal against Barcelona last season, because it was from a corner kick and scored by a defender?

 

[DAiDEViL]

Underwhelming, but i'll take it.

couldn't you tell us that before we talked for hours about the handball rule the other day?

I forgot about that

Like Dai said. "Underwhelming but I'll take it." His words. Add to that he said that because it was so underwhelming he could not celebrate the goal.

Never mind that the delivery into the box was perfect, and that Chiellini literally placed his header absolutely perfectly into the far corner, the only place the keeper couldn't save it. Apparently such goals are so underwhelming, celebration is impossible.

 

[campionesidd]

Set pieces are an important weapon for us, especially since we have so many people who can head the ball well and since we have two of the best free kick takers in the world. It's moronic to expect us not to take advantage of this.

 

[Juvellino]

It was a major goal too

Basically sealed our trip to the semi final

What a tosspot.

Idk why you’re mentioning Napoli. But the difference between those teams and us is striker based. Look at their strikers and then look at Higuain.

I mention Napoli because those are the teams that generally is considered to play the most attractive attacking football in their respective leagues.
You really think that putting a better CF than Higuain in our lineup will make a difference. Its not a question of personel its a question of playing style.

It's only because those teams have rubbish challengers. Look at how many points these teams have dropped compared to Juve, it's almost the same.

- - - Updated - - -


Is it really due to him? We've only dropped 10 points all season. PSG and Bayern have also dropped 10 points. City have dropped 9 although Barca have only dropped 6.

I think you misunderstood the point. I say it is possible to play attractive attacking football and still get results. I think Barca and Bayerns domination of club football and Spain and Germanys domination om the national stage in the last 10 years is a prove of that.

I have another question for you, do you think it has nothing to do with the investments they make and the type of players they go after? Keeping together while also genuinly improving the same core of world class players every summer does play a huge part if you ask me....

Offcourse it does along with a lot of other factors. But I think it is crazy not to recognise, that the most succesfull teams in the last 10 years, playes a brand of football, with a lot of emphasis on possesion and attacking movement, will the typical Italien approach, which er play, with a solid defense, counterattacking and relying on individuel performance in attack has been largely unsuccesfull.

In the financial thread people wine about our commercial revenue being shit compared to other top teams. Offcourse that is also down to a lot of factors, but could one of them be, that we play a brand of football that most casuel fans dont want to see?
