Normally, a guy his age, but with some scoring capabilities left, would be kept on the bench and let on for the last 20-45 minutes...
Normally, a guy his age doesn't come to a club like Barca to be a starter, and normally, a guy his age doesn't get a contract like his. He was signed to be a focal point of Barca's attack, and more often than not, he delivers. No need to lower one's expectations he's clearly still able to meet.

He was still more potent 3 years vs what he is now. Xavi's idea was him to be a part of the transition project while the other old dogs were still on the team. Looks like it is all done now... but they still utilize him. I am sure he does all he can to do the job right but if he cannot sprint like he could 10 years ago or his endurance declined...that was all predictable.
I was never happy about his arriving here, that's different way of playing, requiring top notch accuracy and technique with the thousands of passes to progress forward. Here, he looks like a pivot man in handball team game.

When we come back to the top and get a replacement for him, Lewy will be perceived as a Barca legend who arrived in the tough times to help us come back

Whether you like it or not, this will be the public consensus everywhere except maybe this forum

Not to speak if we win big this season or next, his legacy will be immense

Rightfully so. He's not a flop. He scored a lot of goals, did his best within his age limit.

Defending Lewy >>> Defending Trump
That's wrong logically.

I keep the Trump stuff in one secluded thread.
Weaklings are those to bring it onto other threads just to make themselves sound better.

I am not as much pro Trump as pro MAGA program, seeing it as an antidote to all the blind cultural and political direction the country, I live in, was taking previously.

Can't you just be happy he scored a nice and important goal against our rivals?

That shot with his left when he hit the bar wasn't "well taken" at all. His poor technique made him miscontrol the ball and delay the shot.

You can't be serious. Go check xG from that position and angle (~10m and close to 15 degrees), then add non dominant foot and a defender.

Then in another post you say it's age, perfect example of normal stuff attributed to him as caused by decline, and it's top of the iceberg here really.

He made his eksgee bad because of poor touch and loss of agility. Pass by Pedri was well timed. No contradiction there. What all that means is that we need to have younger striker that meets our needs, while Bob can be a great backup, impact sub and sometimes starter, especially in games, where we don't need to press.
