    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Like I was saying, Barca need him to win anything this season. Even if he's just on the bench it gives Barca more confidence and options. Hopefully he can remain fit for the rest of the season now.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    No matter what the haters say Barca need Lewy back and they need him back fast. If I hear another "we don't need Lewandowski to win" statement I'm going to vomit.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    This is the opposite actually. He plays well against teams that open up. When he plays as a classic 9 against teams that park the bus, he does worse.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    It's going to vary throughout the season, likely a 50/50 split. I don't think Lewy will be upset with that considering his age. But it depends, things can change. It depends on the players performance and how Hansi sees it.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    True, this can also confuse defenders, who become accustomed to certain patterns throughout the game. But I think it has more to do with the way Barca are using him and against teams with tighter defenses so far, he's been doubled marked out of the game. While this did create space and chances...

    Important goal. Like I said before, his role will be better suited as a sub at this point. It's better for him and for the team, as he can be preserved for the more important games with injury being less likely.

    Played like crap today. But Barcelona wasn't exactly playing their A game today either.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    His positioning and drawing in defenders gives Barca attack and mid more space to operate. Yes, in that sense he's sort of a sacrificial lamb upfront, but there is a purpose to it.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    In terms of number of goals AND higher goal-to-chance ratio, nobody including Haaland matches Lewandowski in the last few seasons now. His efficiency is unmatched.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Say what you want about Suarez but despite all the hype around strikers like Haaland, Lewandowski was still the more clinical striker last season. Higher G/Sh than Kane and Haaland, and by a fairly big margin too. Lewandowski is still basically top 3 best strikers in the world right now unless...

    He had a hamstring injury. You're jumping to conclusions way too early.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    It's obvious he is not completely fit. I'm surprised Flick put him in because that shows desperation and lack of confidence in his squad without Lewandowski upfront. Barcelona needs him back in form and fast.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Yeah Hansi Flick will likely play him a lot less in the first half of the season. But the thing is, last season he didn't fall off for no reason, he got injured. I don't think every season is the same deal. Injury can happen anytime. I still blame him for not showing up in the end especially...

    Quite good in these preseason games

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    The timing of that was messed up and you're right to criticize him. It's not his fault for getting injured but it's still his fault. However, many Barca fans were arguing Barca does better without him. Several months ago many analysts argued Lewy slows down Barca's attack and Olmo or Ferran...
