Well the third goal was more impressive, but the second was more credit to Messi. Higgy kicked it in but it was easy, anyone who had been in that position could have scored there. But still I'm not complaining, goals are goals
No luck involved. And he played a solid game outside of his goals. You people need to understand that his role in this team is very different from Messi. He is not asked to make plays or to create, he is there to finish them (and work hard).he was lucky to find himself at the finishing end of 3 goals... not the best of his games at all!!
which he keep doing brilliantlyNo luck involved. And he played a solid game outside of his goals. You people need to understand that his role in this team is very different from Messi. He is not asked to make plays or to create, he is there to finish them (and work hard).
he doesn't even have to try (and fail) hold the ball with tevez on the pitch.
it's a brilliant tactic to maximise the qualities of every player bar messi - but knowing that messi is talented enough to perform in the role he is given (and it's not a rigid thing, he has freedom).
but yeah his overall play is poor. it's not his role in the side, but that doesn't mean he's given carté blanché to suck outside of goalscoring.
agreed. nonetheless he was there at the right time in the right place for all three goals thats a striker's main job.
Neither is he asked to trip on his own feet or make the biggest shit passes in the side.
Clutching at straws now, nice. He was poor in the first game, but by no means can you accuse him of being poor in this one, not even if you take away the 3 goals. Hardly lost the ball, worked hard, most of his passes were on target.Neither is he asked to trip on his own feet or make the biggest shit passes in the side.
But who are we kidding. Real Madrid player and abaddon, it's all cool.
True for the first game, not the second. And I can name you a long list of high profile players sucking in their first game this WC. Somehow I doubt they'll all rebound with a game like Higuain's today.but yeah his overall play is poor. it's not his role in the side, but that doesn't mean he's given carté blanché to suck outside of goalscoring.
