its true though, hes too slow to serve as any kind of threat with through balls. he should play for a team like Arsenal that tries to keep the ball a lot and where he wont have to move a lot. would suit him well

So just bench him every match then?

Today i realised how slow he actually is. He is getting old, for real

I don't think he ever was that fast. He's a world class finisher though. We have fast wingers that can start a counter attack but they sit on the bench right now.

Your probably right, it just hit me today how completely useless he is in that type of setting where he has to take on 1-2 defenders on a counter. He does not have the technique or the pace to be a threat in these situations.

We basically just have to feed him balls in front of goal for him to be effective. As you said, he is all about finishing.

Man I wish we had a faster striker...Higuain never ever out runs the defense for pace.

from watching schick tear past our guys to higuain having a head start and still getting to the ball last

The same Schick with 1 goal before Christmas?

I wish we had Alvaro still. He is much better looking than pizza boy too.

we have Dybi

 

[napoleonic]

22 attempts, 8 on target. Multiple easy chances missed by Higuain, Mandzu, Khedira, Matuidi, Pjanic off the bar.

How anyone could possibly think that we didn't create a boatload of excellent chances tonight is beyond me?

We dominated Roma. Unfortunately our forwards have forgotten how to score lately. It was the same against Inter.

Now that we have our defensive issues from early season sorted out, if we can get our finishing boots back on like in early season we will be in great shape for the run in of all competitions.

Just like unfortunately we lost 5 straight consecutive cl finals, right?

Plain and simple, we lack that one thing that most if not all other top teams have, attacking charm and fluidity, the ability to control the game and not reverting to hunkering down at our own half at any given moment.

Well the only recent winners who didn't have Ronaldo or Messi in their squad were teams who hunkered down at basically every moment. Di Matteo's Chelsea. Mourinho's Inter.

The outlier was Heynckes' Bayern which was basically the best Bayern anyone's ever seen.

Imagine if Higuain had Costa’s pace with his husky physique haha

They hunkered down against messi or ronaldo teams.

We hunker down against the likes of roma and napoli, and sometimes even against chievo or such. Heck I predict we will hunker down against tottenham in february.

That's the difference.

If Higuain and Dybala continue this form, we have no choice really. Imagine some coach like Klopp coaching us while Higuain and Dybala struggle. He would go to Napoli and at home vs. Roma and lose by 3 goals each match.

As good as our defense and how grest it is for winning league titles it is what shoots us in the foot against big teams when we go into or defense ways an allow teams to attack us freely. Thats we struggle to win the Cl.

We tried to defend Madrid last year with only 8 players and got torn apart. Would have done better with one of these formations we've used lately. Most likely would have lost no matter what.

[abstract]

We played a nearly perfect game before the two stupid mistakes from our defense,the couldn't create shit.

 

[Chiello3]

Benatia is a dumbfuck , legit pass to schichk at last minute

 

[Kopanja]

As for December Juve we were great. Two EPL-like mistakes in the back though. Scoring will come, I'm not worried about it.

 

[Gzuz]

Good game at all. We looked way better than Roma. But our finishing must be better for sure!
