Why weren't you here when he did help the club? And he did, more than once. Did you make at least one decent post about him, other than bitching, in here?
9 - Robert Lewandowski
- Thread starter Loki
- Start date

Back when he was scoring, it was pointless to hate on his tractor touches. Now when he's not scoring, and the tractor touches are still there I will take it easy as long as we win the game.
Considering that, if his donkey finishing persists in the final it will be a great problem. Last time he had the luxury of missing 2 absolute sitters because we were an offensive menace, now things are different and he has to perform in line with his reputation of a lethal goalscorer.

So much fun to come and hate on Lewandowski in his thread. The club owners bought him, could have sold him, decided not to, offered extension...everyone is smarter than them, club owners .... what gives? My advice, write a letter to La Porta, or Flick. He gets paid, so he plays. Not every match is brilliant...tough shit. Other than that fuck off RL9....man up and get life.
Yes. One should be able to run to get into opportunities.

Stuff like 'experience, guidance to the youngsters' always makes me laugh when people desperately use them about clearly failing veteran players like Lewy and Ronaldo.
They are vague, nebulous, intangible 'qualities' just like 'mentality' is. They can never be proved or measured or seen like a great touch or a great pass or dribble can, and half the time they are simply pulled out of fans' arses who have no idea what is happening in training or behind the scenes. I'd bet for instance that Yamal couldn't care less about Lewy's 'experience' or ''guidance' and simply focuses on his own career.
It's like how United fans said 'Hojlund will learn so much under Ruud!'...as if Ruud being a great finisher also makes him a good teacher, or means Hojlund will suddenly turn quality. If it was that simple R9, Van Basten and Romario would be the most sought after striker coaches. Ruud has come and gone and Hojlund is arguably even worse.
Like Onefootball didn't even put Lewandowsky in top 20 players in last 20 years.
If someone can track back Pele's career and then why do you think people from future can't do the same?

That's because of the increasing, mind-numbing, dull as fuck American influence on and corruption of our game, which attempts to drill a highly qualitative game such as football down to boring numbers.
Other reasons for it is the internet era and being able to aggregate all sorts of stats, as well as young modern internet fans generally not actually 'getting' football, barely ever even playing it, and being more interested in the game as entertainment than as a sport. One example being the obsession over the Ballon d'Or. Back in the 90s and early 2000s nobody cared much about it - it was about team trophies.
How many times have I said that qualitative data and eye test matters a lot in football? Yet guys like you are still dimissing it. I have spoke about why it matters at great length.
Going by your logic Haaland is a miles better footballer than Iniesta, and only forwards should be remembered.
1939 was before the TV era so a flawed argument for me. In 2125 people will still be able to watch copious amounts of Messi and Iniesta and see they were about much more than goals, unlike robots like Lewy and Ronaldo who are pretty useless when not finishing.
Football has changed for the worse in many ways, and your post is a perfect example of why.
Edit: also, the best footballer in the world pre War was probably someone like Giuseppe Meazza, Jose Andrade, Stanley Matthews, Arthur Friedenreich or Matthias Sindelar. There's plenty information about football pre 1939 on the internet. There were three World Cups with lots of internet articles and their own wikipedia pages ffs. You hardly need 'forgotten football magazines' to research football history. There's an entire internet resource at your fingertips.

3/10 game.
If he doesn't score he becomes a huge liability for us. We essentially are playing with 9 outfield players.
His holdup play was attrocious aswell.
But we can't replace him with anyone, it seems. Tuna is the same atrocious, mindlessly pressing and running around. Pau Victor seems to be way behind the pecking order and doesn't get any minutes.
Tractor knows he can just faf around and no one is in the team that can challenge him. Easy money. Gets to eat his preferred Eggs and stuff.. Gets paid to keep his physique and health in top form. Thats it.

There' are only two, from what I can see: temporaryFan and @Temptarion. It barely makes it plural. Them both participate in other discussions as well.
Check things before you post, so you don't sound like an empty pitcher.
