alonso dictates their tempo. higuain may become more important this season because of the signing of sahin, alonso will be easier to replace this season if injured. but the season just gone alonso was much more important to madrid
Isnt that a massive contradiction of what you've been saying?
My point with Higuain that you've obviously missed is that he was scoring goals for fun. When he became injured the only main goal threat was from Ronaldo which isnt good enough when your challenging a team like Barca that have goal threats from at least 5 players.
