It is. Stylistically, Isak or Alvarez might be a better fit for this system. It's up for debate.

Style matters of course, but the gulf in goal scoring ability is way too much

This is how the all time list of strikers looks imo

R9
Muller
MVB
Puskas
Romario
Eusebio
Suarez
Lewandowski/ KHR/ Eto’o
Benzema

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.

What I've seen was defender on the move before the touch, and Lewandowski was angled away from goal. Couldn't shoot, dribble to risky, small touch and defender is on him, looked to me to be heavy on purpose so defender doesn't claim.

Shot itself was ok given the position and Oblak in goal, which calls for riskier shots. Not sure how it's fanboyism to say that, Lewandowski misses easy chances like any striker, just wouldn't say this should be called one.

As for the rest, idk tbh heh

Yes I would call it a winger's chance, and would expect smb quick and nimble to do better. Hardly Lewandowski's fault though, not being the type, and scores stuff winger wouldn't. Age thing idk, maybe a factor, but not sure younger Lewandowski in middling form would score that either.

In that case he is having barrage of "winger chances" for some reason.

Oh yes because he wastes easy chances, I get it, I get it. What's funny though, any time I glance at stats, seems to be less wasteful still than in his Bayern years? That would mean he improved with age though, which is clearly impossible.

Another thing is easy chances themselves, I mean, wherever you go, people bash their striker for wasting easy chances, pointing to that other striker as point of clinical reference, with the latter probably getting simultaneously bashed by his guys. Makes one think, maybe it's not the strikers who are all similarly brain damaged, but the perception of what is easy on the pitch might be wrong? Idk

Last but not least, since the age caught up to him in November, despite the great service, one that makes some people put up theories of teammates not passing to him on purpose, despite slowing the team down with his age, inability to pass or fight the defender, has yet to have a proper long dry spell this year, and he had those in Bayern, believe or not.

Or possibly just too many winger chances, idk2. He does actually move to the sides btw heh, maybe too much.

Funny thing dry spells btw, longest one by Lewandowski in Bayern was 300 sth minutes (btw December to February, almost like there was sth to PL/ DE and winter, or grandpa hates Christmas), legend Gerd Muller's was 900 sth.

Not saying the former is better, just a bit of trivia heh.
