With the great passes that we so often throw into the box at Barcelona, I’d have killed for Super Pippo this season. Our lads don’t have that pure killer to call upon in situations where it’s necessary to win ugly.

The “born offside” comment is very funny. He is, indeed, because he has to play it so close to work his mojo. If a team’s offside trap is going, you can pretty effectively neutralize him.

But without question, he’s spectacular at being that rarest of rare beasts, the pure striker.

lucky to play with del Piero? I think it’s more like the other way round, although del Piero probably wouldn’t agree. He may not be a conventional player but he is a great player, he’s proved himself at more than one club (unlike del Piero) He is what he is, a goal scorer, and his record speaks for itself.

The funny thing about what Cruyff was saying was that I think it was a compliment in its own way – Inzaghi knows how to read the game, how to get onto the end of things, and his pace doesn’t matter because he always thinks a few yards ahead of the defence.

I do really like Pippo. I think he is quite underrated as a goalscorer, the only problem is he can only play well in a quality side, he can’t turn a game for you with a moment of magic.

I agree with Cruyff; but I still love Pippo Inzaghi and don’t need to take anything away from him. He’s a goal-scorer — and a good one.

He is at it again. Already scored two goals in the first half against Juve.

SuperPippo is one of the greatest strikers of the modern era. So what he can’t dribble or pass or do things that other players can do, the man can score goals. No one is better when it comes to playing along the defensive line, annoying defenders, and scoring goals.

Well, to me he is
SUPPERPIPPO INZAGHI!
Does it really matter how many times he is flagged offside after all the goals he’s scored?
What is bad though, is linesmen seem to assume he’s almost always offside, even if he really isn’t.

Whatever may be, he was born offside.:P

Great player. His medal tally tells the truth.

Inzaghi, without perfect service, is nothing. Watching him play is agonizing at times actually. You see him start having a seizue when he’s in the 6 yard box, waiting for a cross. I don’t know how he does it, but he DOES manage to put it in the back of the net. It amazes me. Honestly, I don’t know what to say about the man, but he sure is fun to watch after he scores a goal ;p

I really doubt it’s luck when you score soo many goals in so many important matches. Inzaghi doesn’t have much skill outside the penalty box; you give him the ball in the middle, and he holds it up until someone fouls him and he falls to the ground. SO WHAT?

Inzaghi is a striker. What are strikers meant to do? Score goals. Does he do that? Yes. PERIOD.

2 types of strikers; striker striker, forward striker (what I call them).. Striker striker players are players like Inzaghi, RVN, Gilardino; basically players who can finish. Forward striker players are like Shevchenko, Torres; players that dribble, and have a bit more skill. Basically, players that are more of a joy to watch.

Inzaghi is a vital player in important matches. When it matters most, he gets that goal, no one can deny that. So, the final verdict; world class player. (even if he’s offisde 239283 times in a match, he’ll prolly get that 1 vital goal)
