9 - Robert Lewandowski

[MonteCuler]

One thing Lewandowski lacks is creativity. Don't know how many assists he has in Barça shirt, probably very small number. Also not sure when did I last see him create a great goalscoring opportunity (except using his movement)

He should have won the 2020 Ballon D'or retroactively.

Even Messi advocated it when he won the 2021 Ballon D'or

What about Pedri? He plays like a typical Barca midfielder.

champagne recyclers belong with Slutball and gimpball

And yet he has around 200 career assists which is pretty great considering he never played alongside a bonafide goalscorer like Messi and Ronaldo.

Playing with Messi gives you numerous undeserved assists regularly.

The best goalscorer RL9 played with was Robben who only got around 15 to 20 goals a season.

Also he creates plenty of chances for his National Team.

Its over. Time to kiss your ass goodbye.

 

[Messigician]

he’s soooo finished please leave in January with dignity

Even lewa called Messi fake for that

Even lewa called Messi fake for that

That's his problem

Rags style of play should never be at Barca, about as bad as Ibra. Also never want a semi-retired striker to join ever again. But Yamal's the only player I enjoy at Barca never thought would get this bad.

Thank you for honesty.

 

[Barcaman]

Useless today.

The problem is that there's no coming back to the empire that ruled in Europe since 2000s until Messi left which was exceptional and practically non replicable.
It is still far better the way it is now and what it can still accomplish in all competitions in comparison to what became of Manchester United after sir Alex retired.
I think that Lewandowski contributed in that aspect ... somewhat.

Thought he wasn't that bad. He didn't score, but was very involved. Imo he was just unlucky yesterday. I'm sure the goals will come again.

Everyone recognizes that this is one of the greatest number 9s ever, and even at his age, he occasionally drops top performances.

It’s just that his rabid fan base/trolls (not necessarily you but there’s Baljeet and Straitjacket) who:

1) blame everyone but “RL9” in a Barca loss
2) credit him as the team’s main driving force in Barca wins (which he just isn’t)

They make this thread unbearable.

 

[Temptation]

Calls other posters "rabid fans" and "trolls" while having shamelessly supported PSG over Barca in the CL when his boy moved there. 🤡

Expected from a Top Culer with a Zizou avatar......

I was watching the last Barca match on ESPN with English commentary.
After Lewandowski got his goal, I heard the guy exclaim "that's the best poacher of the last two decades!"
I was taken aback a little not knowing whether I should rejoice or resent.
The word poacher, intuitively, sounds more pejorative and condescending than praising, does it not? It felt like ... he was the best Penalty Box vulture...but that would be very unfair in my book.
To me, a non native English speaker, it sounds phonetically ugly...an ugly English language word....what about you?
Does the word "poacher" denote something rather positive or not?

I think many people use poacher as synonym for striker so dont think commentator had a negative intention with that word. I seperate between poachers (who stays most of the time in the box) and strikers who can participate to the game even without goals like prime Lewy, Benzema, Suarez or Kane. Icardi is a classic poacher imo.
