lucio 5,418 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Lewandowski is still top goalscorer of the Bundesliga for a 3rd year in a row. He is not a perfect finishher., but he excels every chance as best as possible. I watch Borussia regularly and h doesn't often miss sitters like the one vs Malaga or one vs Hamburger.gomez scored more bundesliga goals than him in 2011/12 and 2010/11 by quite some distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeChuck 22 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Higuain ahead of Robert makes me laugh so hard!You really underestimate his contribution at Borussia. He's a type of player who makes his teammates looks better, than they actually are... not vice versa! Pacquiao and Marvin123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonPride1905 236 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Face it, if Bulgaria was erased from football history, no one will go mad. Cant say the same about Brazil...Also, that is what you get for making ridiculous digs at Neymar and myself for no particular reason. Cant discuss Lewandowski without desperately putting Neymar on the argument to try to look tough.One who says whatever it wants, hears what it doesnt want.First, I would take Falcao or Higuain ahead of Robert in a heart beat. Yes they would have adaptation problems, but so had Dider when he first came. He thrived in Chelsea because when we most needed, his goals were there. Something I would totally relly in the case of Falcao or even Higuain. Also, with the team we have and the consistency and cold blood of both strikes, their numbers would be better than Drogba's (20+ goals a season imo).Second, Lewandowski has great skills and that is all. He fades in big games, misses so many open chances that is irritating and he is a dumb player (his decision making is awful). It is absolutely fustrating to see him play! You see he can be good, but every 5 mins you get a reminder of why he isnt. I lose count of how many wrong choices he makes in a game: passes, right time to drible or shoot, etc. This alone should be a warning not to put all our chips on him.Third, worse than that is his bad finish and lack of poacher instinct. He cant score for himself; he can create, but then he will go to waist it (most of the time). If Gotze or Reus dont have a great game, with at least 2-3 build up plays for him, he cant score. Convertion ratios are not high even amongst top players, but Lewandoski takes it to another level, specially if you take close look at the stats and search for the opportunities on youtube or whatever. They are given goals that he either makes it hard to score (having to try twice or three times or messing up with his first touch) or he misses it completely. He is not the player who his teammates can look up to and be confident because if things go really bad, Lewandowski will be there to score the winner for them.Like I said, in a team like BvB is not hard to put up numbers, we cant relly on them. An example of this is Mario Gomez (not comparng quality nor playing style), a striker who would not work for most teams, but since Bayern is so good, he thrives... First of all I accet your opinion , despite being absolutely against it. Second, I only mentioned Neymar because Damiao sucks and I cant tell you much more strikers in Brazil that are hyped more than them. I just dont see why Lewy's decisions are so bad in your eyes. If that is the problem than damn Falcao is one awful player, because he touches the ball a maximum of 1-2 times. At least I see your post like that. Higuain on the other hand is also good in his link-up play , but he is no Lewandowski for sure. I mean its the finesse , the chest usage , the pass with his head and the fact than he can cover really strong players using his psyhique. Not only that but Robert has a powerful shot from distance and a very good skill asset to nudge the ball where needed. You saw Gotze not doing that a couple of times this season, whilist Lewy has not missed much chances, except in times when he hasn't been on his day. Alll in all, I respect your opinion , hate that thing you said about Bulgaria even though it is kind of true, but looking at the players we have, we need a striker that has the movement but also links up with the players beside him. For instance Ba does it nice when given the opportunity, hence will Lewandowski. Falcao wouldn't do it better, because he is not that type of player. Only player I would prefer is Cavani. He is just the thing needed for us to be THAT title contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,154 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Perhaps so but really, most of his work comes inside the box. If he doesn't score the goals, you would probably won't even notice that he's playing. And the fact that Mandzukic(similar player to Lewandowski but only less prolific) has been the no.1 choice for Bayern this season, even after Gomez returned from injury, tells you a lot about how they view Gomez.LOL, I agree with you about Gomez. It looks like I am saying I want him, however I was referring to the bloke who said he is prolific with his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm not arguing who's better, or if they are enough or not, but you can't give three strikers enough pitch-time if your system utilizes a lone striker. And since our two strikers are not going anywhere at the moment, I find it hard to believe that we will be looking to get a pure striker in the summer. First of all i am hoping that we can sell torres if not then i really dont care about his happiness.He can sulk all he wants in the reserves.Lukaku and ba can be rotated in the starting line-up for us.

Jase 43,479 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 No, I probably have watched more games of him than you (due to the fact Brazilians have way greater access to the top European Leagues than Europeans themselves)....Just because of that you think you would have watched more of him than I do? I'm pretty sure you have heard of match streams on the Internet, don't you?Lewandowski is a decent striker in a great team. He is one of the most overrated strikers in the world!Judging by your description of Lewandowski in the later post, you're making him sound even worse than Torres is right now when clearly he's much better than what you said there. Anyway...lets just agree to disagree. Spike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flag on your chest should not mean anything in your evaluation. Being South American (in general) should not influence on anyone's judgement, but even professional scouts have biased opinion towards us. Unfortunately...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Lewa was last years Buli best player, yet someone says he is average overrated player? Ok...what?!He made fantastic cross for winner vs Malaga and superb finish in same game. He scores practicaly every game, including 5 in CL against the likes of Real too. He scored vs Bayern last season several times, this season too. How the fuck can someone say he has bad decision making or goes missing in big matches?Romper; saying that Neymar is brilliant talent one who is already world beater (but in fact he is extremely overrated) and then saying that Lewa is just average makes it soo wrong.
