Wha? Dude scored against Southampton few days ago and scored 2 against Torino just a week earlier. thats 5 goals in the last 4 games. 10 goals in 12 games overall.
apologies, you're right. But wasnt he 0 in 5 or 0 in 6 at one point?

well unsurprisingly, when the only player who scores goals doesnt score goals, we dont win....
that's more a reflection on, quite possibly, how limited (See Shaun) he makes our attack, and also definitely a comment on the team set up.
That's implying our attack would be greatly improved with a more mobile striker like Eder/Jovetic, which while I get your point, I don't see the team scoring more goals than what we have with Icardi. It's not like Icardi's mostly static play is stunting our midfielders and fullbacks from becoming free-flowing and creating chances.
This is true, but I do feel for a player of his particular characteristics we should be complementing him with a second striker, who is more mobile tbh.
so he said that an Italian coach is better because we don't have ime to lose. well, he definitely has a point there. but what would be interesting to know is if the players played a role in the choice of the coach. the media reported a few days ago that they talked to the management and expressed their opinion about the matter.
thing is he would work so much better with a second striker too. Someone to play through balls, or jostle with defenders for him and distract them so he can play to goalPalacio on a good day would be a fine second striker to him. Icardi alone is a big no. Man marking him out of the game is the easiest job for any defender since he has nothing individual to offer, and that's big problem when we're too dependent on him to score goals and can't do it regularly by other players.

I agree i guess the problem is to make that happen we d have to bench one of Perisic/Candreva/J.Mario or Banega whom quality wise are amongst the best in our squad.
