I think he's a bit erratic and blows hot and cold. Top player no doubt but there is an obvious shortage of quality strikers in the game right now and this helps him stands out. I think the biggest part of his game is actually his selflessness which is what brought out the best in Sturridge and Sterling at Liverpool.
@[deleted] I don't want to get into a Premier League v La Liga argument here and you can only serve one master (team wise) but in my view the Barca v Atletico game was awful. The Madrid game was played with more urgency and intensity, possibly because Real went behind. Football is first and foremost an entertainment sport and both games lacked value in in this regard. Barca were coasting and the combination of injuries to Messi/Busquets and Masherano's slip let Atletico back in. Simeone has done wonders with that team because on paper there are a lot of above average players. Felipe Luis for one is awful and probably won't get a game ahead of Gibbs. Torres is not effective against the top sides and Griezman carries most of their attacking threat. He has to track back a lot, I think he was marking Newmar at some point, and this makes Atletico look very negative.
