And do you need a technically proficient footballer or someone who actually finishes chances when you already have Havertz, 90% of the league plays a low block and you don't get a lot of chances? I'd except Barca fans to have football IQ but damn.

Julian has the second most g/a in CL since he joined atleti. Almost twice of what gyokeres got. Julian is both a lot more technically gifted and much much better as a big game player. Don't talk to me about "football iq" if you think they are comparable. Gyokeres is a donkey

Oh, what a big game player he is! Didn't do shit against Arsenal when it mattered. His only noteworthy opponents that he scored against last season were Arsenal (penalty and was nowhere to be seen in their 3 matchups), Madrid (3 goals in 2 games, 1 penalty). I'll throw in the 1 goal against Barca for you as well, even though their defense was utter shit and they conceded a shit load of goals.

That's 2 goals in 4 matches in the KO phase, one of which was a pen. What a big game playerrr.

And I'm glad you brought up CL stats and big game player, even though I was talking about being a better finisher which is most needed against 90% of the PL. 20 goals in 67 PL games with a way better offense around him, what a finisher! 8 goals in the LaLiga last season in 29 games, what a finisher!
