Theyre nothing alike. Immobile is more mobile, Jovic is a straight poacher. He's more similar to icardi actually.
Okey
So
nothing alike? Both have almost exactly same movement in the box with that small drop back and settle movements to find space to score. Both are almost exactly same build (Immobile 185cm, Jovic 182cm). Both can control the ball back to goal and pass the ball. Both can make those little tribbles before they shoot.
Sure Immobile is more mobile if Lazio are not in posession, but mainly play exactly same way like Jovic when he moves inside the box. See both players score on open play…
But you are right there are similarity with Jovic and Icardi, but I see similarity in Icardi and Immobile too (that eye for goal I was talking earlier), but Immobile can also tribute out side of box if needed as can Jovic. Oh and Icardi did that also when he played with Palacio some games, but he mostly played lone striker so he was best used to stay central line.
Both Jovic and Immobile can actually beat their man on one/one and has good balance and what Lautaro lacks.
In Inzaghi tactics Immobile and Correa had more freedom to move but Immobile bread and butter is to get to position where he can score (find that space with little drop back) and what I have seen Jovic play, I think he can do similar job… In Frankfurt Rebic and Haller was used to be more mobile role and try to get Jovic more space but some games they switch roles with Rebic and Haller to run in the channels and Jovic made runs on the side.
Immobile and Jovic are also pretty acrobatic and they can score similar way not just tap-ins…
But my original point was that Immobile was labelled as a ”flop” after Dortmund, Sevilla and loan back to Torino, but was a diamond in the rough… like Jovic can be and that was my one of my
points.
My main point was that we need a player or two who has
EYE FOR A GOAL and I don’t care if they are little more mobile or not, but can put a ball in the goal! So any type mobile or not Immobile, Icardi, Jovic, Suarez, Darwin, Cavani, Lewandowski, Benzema… we need that guy who can score and we have enough second or supporting forwards…
And no I don’t see Scamacca or Raspadori or Dybala to solve our scororing problems if we don’t get that main scorer that guy who can find those spaces where they can score.
I thought Lautaro could do that, but I was wrong and Dzeko is drifting some reason out of the box and play as a playmaker or something…
I still have small hope that with Lautaro-Correa can find some kind of chemistry or understanding with each other and can make more trouble to oppisition defence and score more?
