Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez @ West Ham United

Javier Hernandez with another goal today and an assist (kind of). Looks full of confidence again. It will be fascinating to see how Martino goes about managing the generational shift with Mex. Euro-based players like Chicharito still miles ahead of nex gen in #ligamxeng

With good reason too. He’s infuriating a lot of the time.

 

Unfortunately he's super streaky and even more, since he's not exactly a striker that can create something out of nothing, is almost entirely dependent of the service he gets and with la verde or in a team like West Ham, it's not always going to happen.

To me, unfortunately most expect him to play like a perenial star when in reality, he's more like a really, really good role player, complementary to either a very productive midfield or another striker that can create with his dribbling and passing, like Rooney with Man U.

 

Chcharito to real Madrid when

 

Interesting takes on Cheech's goal yesterday:

 

Donde estan los que decian que CH14 ya estaba acabado? Good guy cheech at it again callando hocicos in 2018.

Aqui mero.

 

positioning!

 

Es bien friolento el wey. He made a hole on the long sleeve shirt so he can put his thumb on it.

 

When he going to LAFC doh

 

At United and RM I defended him because I knew that those teams created opportunity after opportunity so he'd have no trouble scoring goals. But with Mexico and smaller teams like West Ham he really looks bad at times.

 

With a goal per minute ratio like his, there has to be a better word to describe him than "streaky".

I totally agree about his limitations and reliance on others, though.

 

Renaciendo de las cenizas como siempre el gran Chichadios!!!

Cheech assist?

 

Assist from the Cheech. WH up 2-0 at the 30th minute.

 

Livescore reporting Anderson with the assist. Chicharito clearly deflected it (even slightly), not sure what the official game report will say.

 

Raul scoring tap ins and Chicha dishing out assists.

 

Livescore updated its feed, Chicharito is now listed with the assist to Michail Antonio's goal.

 

Just a heads up, the game is on OTA TV, channel 4 NBC.

 

What an assist from Cheech. Great IQ.
