Samu was actually dangerous beginning stages of the game. I don't think it's fair to say manager have least control in attacking phase. Overall, our players do not play with coherence and you can tell there is no real understanding between one and another. As much as I agree that Higuain is a bitch, its pretty telling that he's on a different wave lengths with Samu/Cutrone as no one really knows who should be doing what and just watching when they dont have the ball.
I understand the Higuain hate and I honestly think we probably should be getting a player with better mental strength. But I also think if you judge from Higuain's point of view, having worked with Allegri and Sarri, now you got into this clueless shit show where nobody knows whats up and you are expected to create chances and score in the game. Coupled additional pressure with already weak mentality (alleged), it's actually understandable why he's performing so badly.
I'm sorry, he's paid a lot of money. He is a God damn professional. When Higuain was playing hurt, I was excusing him. Back injuries are a bitch.
But he's not just messing up perfect chances, like today, where he literally is being served on a plate. He's also fucking up in passing. He's giving the ball away. He's actively
adding to the shit attacking play.
At the start of the season, our attacking play was pretty good, the problem was we were giving up goals. Higuain lost his head against Juve and doesn't know how to get things together.
The amount of shit that Hakan gets for being weak mentally, Higuain is getting excuses now? He's our star striker. He's supposed to be one of the deadliest strikers in the world. Not Serie A. The Earth.
How many half-chances has he put away with ease? Juve games look nearly identical to this, honestly. Napoli games against small teams, same shit.
The difference is in strikers. A player like Higuain should put that chance away. Or at least on target. He fucking hit it so high and wide it was embarrassing for an amateur.
I don't want to hear about justifications about Higuain's piss-poor play, when those excuses are not offered for other players, especially those whose worst gripe is not "I'm frustrated boo hoo" but they're playing hurt, like Hakan, Suso, Kessie, etc.
