9 - Robert Lewandowski

[Don Juan Laporta Estruch]

Forget the goal. Wonderful hold up play tonight. Proper target man. Strong as an ox. Few months ago was getting called a weak pussy here. He serves L's COLD 🥶

Yeah , cause he was pushed around like a bitch.

Night and day difference to the start of the season so far.

Forget the goal , he was not bullied around and hold the play really good tonight.

Excellent tonight, to be a bit critical:

The chance when he was isolated one on one (I forget with who) - he dilly dallied. He really has to come back inside on his right foot and get a shot away. In tighter games he has to get that right, as excellent a striker as he is.

The chance a few yards out he couldn't connect with from the amazing cross. He's gotta lunge for that, or even go with the other foot.

Overall though an 8.5/10 performance for me.

 

[Shindizzle]

Played well, but had a few chances that he should have pulled the trigger on but instead showed his age / rust

 

[Andresito]

There was a period during Xavi where he was ending up on the ground in every physical duel. Now he looks much stronger and gives the team a reference point when needing to hoof the ball.

This guy could have had a hat trick too
But it's okay if he shows up vs Madrid

He seems to avoid his left foot often.

The soft training under Xavi made him weak

Now Flick training + roids made him 5 years younger

Korean sailor looks like he chain smokes. Let's see him versus Rudiger at the weekend.

Ok guys, time to sleep

He was intentionally diving and hoping for cheap free kicks - so do most forwards.

He still dive these days.

debatable if he is diving less.

I think he's scored a fair amount goals with it over the years (correct me if I am wrong anyone) so it's a little odd.

 

[jaype]

His hold up play was so good today. Idk why he hesitated in that one chance, but other than that, good game from Lewa

 

[JustAnotherBarcaFan]

yeah…he scored plenty of goals with his left, e.g. one that I remember for sure vs Chile from distance.

Not every mistake is showing someone's age, mate.


Young players make way more mistakes of this kind.
