What a bombastic finish. So was the Silva assist. <3
does indeed score some important late goals for City, seems to have more of an impact when he comes off the bench though, rather than from the start.
There are reasons for that. For one, strikers need a run of games, not put on the bench immediately after failing to score in 2 games. Two, he's not really gonna thrive in a slow-tempo, narrow, passing style set-up with li'l creativity, but he will when there is greater urgency, width, and space to attack. And City tend to offer him favourable conditions towards the end esp when they are chasing games. City generally don't play to his strengths. Put him in a counterattacking team, and he'll be devastating.
A gem of a CF who's equally potent with both feet and in the air. Falcao being the other. Except the former doesn't have a team built to get the best out of him, nor an encouraging manager. There are areas of his game (hold up play) that needs improving, and i hope he does when he moves on.
