Posted on 11/5/2012 at 2:40 AM 0 Dude, I can understand that any time would need a goal scorer like Higuain but no team in the world need a goal scorer like we do .. Do you know that Liverpool would be at the 20th position, with 1 goal scored and 3 points difference from the 19th position if Luis Suarez didn't play any game for us this season ?!

Posted on 11/4/2012 at 7:10 PM 0 I forgot to mention something .. Higuain should move to Liverpool, they need a goal scorer like crazy, and playing for them he wouldn't play week in week out, but he'll also be the man to go to to finish things up !! ** It won't happen though :(

Posted on 11/4/2012 at 7:08 PM 0 @Dr.Magdy: That's an average of 3.5 goals per season difference to Benzema .. And in my opinion to score 3 goals in 300 mins is something easy to do, should Higuain get the chance I am sure he would've scored the same if not more. After all Moushit is sh!t, and if he keeps playing Higuain is a regular #9 just like he plays Ronaldo week in week out, then I wouldn't be surprised if Higuain became the top scorer not between the two, but for Real Madrid including Ronaldo.

Posted on 10/30/2012 at 4:11 AM 2 @Pablo.d You don't know how much time it took me to get you those stats ,I was supposed to be sleeping right now .. I hate you Pablo. xD

Dr.Magdy (Egypt)

Posted on 10/30/2012 at 4:03 AM 0 @niklucky02 Of course Higuain is much better than Sosa ,there's no comparison at all ,after all we're talking about a Real Madrid player ,while the other couldn't make it in Napoli .. LOL But I was talking about RM fans "feelings" towards Higuain ,you know that feeling when you want to strangle someone ,Believe me that exactly how they feel (my brother is a RM fan by the way) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWtX0Q2JC6o I also enter RM forums after each game to see their reactions towards Di Maria and Higuain performances ,so I know what I'm talking about. "Higuain to them is like Sosa to us ,sometimes they praise him but most of the time ... you know".

Posted on 10/30/2012 at 2:42 AM 0 @Dr Magdy .."But you have to admit it ,Higuain to Real Madrid fans is like .. "Sosa" to us." LOL on that one .... I really like your stats and posts both but the statement you just made overshadows everything. Sosa --> Higuain .. Naah I don't think any real madrid fan would hate it when higuain enters the field unless he is a barca supporter in disguise :P

pablo.d (New Zealand)

Posted on 10/30/2012 at 1:08 AM 0 you also ned to put up the mins played ie if hig comes on late in most champs lge games he plays then his stats will be not as good. from what ive seen ben starts 90% of those matches.

Dr.Magdy (Egypt)

Posted on 10/30/2012 at 12:35 AM 2 @aka Mr.D It's not me who says Benzema is better in the Champions league ,it's the numbers .. Benzema's performance in UCL since he joined Real Madrid in 2009 : - Appearances : 27 - Goals : 16 - Assists : 8 Higuain's performance in UCL since 2009 : - Apps : 27 - Goals : 7 - Assists : 2 Can you see Higuain's "poor" numbers in CL ,I can get you his numbers in La Liga and you'll see the huge difference. Believe me I got nothing against Higuain ,I'd even choose him over Benzema for our NT ,simply because his style works well with Messi ,But you have to admit it ,Higuain to Real Madrid fans is like .. "Sosa" to us.

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 5:30 PM 0 Higuain is doing great recently, but i want him to alson perform in big matches . As a barca and argentina fan, am having mixed feelings abt it

pablo.d (New Zealand)

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 1:50 PM 0 sulav787 you have it wrong sir, hig best move should be to my mighty Tottenham :)

aka Mr. D (Peru)

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 11:35 AM 0 @Dr.Magdy, to say Benzema is better in the UCL is meaningless, as Higuaín hasn't started a UCL match I don't know how long. He sometimes comes on for the last 10-15 minutes hardly a fair measure. Also, Higuaín had the two assists from CR7's goals as well so he was directly involved in all 4 goals. Goals are different than pass percentage. I don't know the percentages on Higuaín vs. Benzema but if one striker scores every 3 out of 5 chances, while the other scores every 4 out 8, I'll take the latter. I'm pretty sure Higuaín gets himself in a scoring position more often. And Mourinho's claim is straight BS. When has Benzema ever started in the #10 role? A few times last season Mourinho started Higuaín and Benzema but Benzema was not in the #10 role because if I remember Kaka also started a lot of those same games.

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 9:50 AM 0 higuain should move to arsenal or liverpool. not to mancity or Chelsea... he should move to EPL it is the toughest league in europe.. he should get out of that Pitt called madrid before mourino and christina destyos him like kaka..

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 9:40 AM 0 Oh wow great teamwork from Rodrigo and Esteban Cambiar to change he can certainly score exceptional goals with a touch of class and he changes the game love my argies :D

Leandro (United States)

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 9:28 AM 0 Benzema misses many more changes in my opinion. Benzema is a better dribbler in tight space, so he is better against parked bus teams, while Higuain is the opposite. Higuain has some of the best finishing stats in the world and saved Madrid many times. They are both good, neither deserves criticism. The criticism lies in Madrid buying too many ace forwards and ruining their form and confidence by having them bench.. #9's need continuity.. Tevez went down in form while at Man.U cause he was not regular, starts at Man.City the year after and he becomes MVP of the leauge. The season Higuain started every game (right before Benzema purchase) he was unstopable, competing with Messi and Christiano for goal #'s. Its mostly politics!!! And I am sure Christina has a lot of say as to who starts.. Pipita, LEAVE MADRID!!!

el principe (United States)

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 6:08 AM 1 Mou trusts Higuain when playing against easier teams, but when it comes to sronger teams, Benzema is the number one option. Hope this will change. Plus it is no secret that CR7 likes Benzema more than Higuain.

sulav787 (Canada)

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 5:44 AM 0 @ pablo.d he has scored some amazing goals but lets not be biased higuain misses more compared to benzema that is why benzema was preferred over him last season.. but he scored some 20 odd goals from the limited chance he had last season.. but benzema looked more lethal than him.. some days he looks totally different level from benzema and in some mediocre player but if he can continue this form and stop missing from point blank ranges then he can become real's no 1 striker..

pablo.d (New Zealand)

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 3:28 AM 0 dr magdy , im pleased you have eyes and this will allow you to enjoy and marvel higuain's many fantastic goals that have made him one of the best goals per strikes in the world :) i know what you are saying as he seems to miss the easy ones but plant a lot of harder ones, if only he could be more deadly he would be impossible to stop like the great bati in his prime.

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 3:02 AM 1 @pablo.d yes I know about the records ,but I also have eyes.

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 2:42 AM 0 When Cambiasso scores.. you get a beautiful goal!

pablo.d (New Zealand)

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 1:33 AM 1 dr magdy hig has one of the best finishing records in europe for chances to goals ratio yes its even better then messi and ronaldos.

Dr.Magdy (Egypt)

Posted on 10/29/2012 at 12:33 AM 1 @aka Mr. D ,@pablo.d Let's not get carried away with Higuain's performance tonight because sometimes Higuain makes you really wanna kill yourself ... Real Madrid 2-1 Barcelona Super Cup ,anyone ?? .. that match could've easily ended 4-1 if Higuain had his chances. Higuain shines in La Liga ,but Benzema performs better in the Champions league ,Higuain is a classic #9 while Benzema likes to cut in from outside the box ... (Higuain + Benzema) would be The Perfect Striker. That's what Mourinho said when he was asked about Higuain and Benzema: "Higuaín is a classic centre-forward, someone who finishes off attacking moves ,while Benzema moves like a fish in water. Sometimes I make him play in the number 9 role and other times as a number 10. He’s got incredible movement" "We need both of them, Karim and Pipa. It’s not easy deciding which of them should play, I analyse the characteristics of each game and the opposition, and then I decide"

Kenneth (United States)

Posted on 10/28/2012 at 11:27 PM 0 Some great goals! That goal from Lamela! Trickery at its best...Cambiasso's is asking why he's isn't he in the national team with a chip like that!

aka Mr. D (Peru)

Posted on 10/28/2012 at 10:18 PM 3 Higuaín is the starting #9. Higuaín gets hurt. Mourinho complains he doesn't have a #9 and gets Adebayor on loan even though Benzema is on the bench. Higuaín comes back from injury and ends the season on fine form. Mourinho insults Benzema all year and Benzema doesn't look particularly good. Adebayor goes back to Man City. Next season Benzema is the #9 starter! Higuaín plays less minutes and still manages to score more goals than Benzema. Benzema looks awful at the Euros, continues his slump while Higuaín is playing excellently for Argentina. Benzema is still the starting #9, even though once again, Higuaín has scored more goals on fewer minutes. That's not brilliant coaching that's schizophrenia.

Posted on 10/28/2012 at 8:04 PM 0 i struggle to understand mon at real as to why he does not start hig all the time, its simple hig scores goals.
