Will you be defending Harry like this when he’s at City?![]()
He's not the player some want to make out of him.
Best striker in the world? Yes.
Most complete? Hell no, he can't do a thing without service. He's not capable of dropping back, or drifting to the wing, or creating chances out of thin air or for others. He needs set up, when you see him assist at Bayern it's because the movement is world class and the ball gets to him in the box in the first place, not because he's some insanely creative striker.
When you're a relatively weak NT like Poland, a player like Lewandowski won't single handedly win you game, you're better off with any prolific fast counter attacker than even the best targetman in the world in these kind of games.
Benzema for one.
Who's more complete by the way? Genuine question now.
I genuinely don’t understand this ‘complete striker’ bollocks.Benzema for one.
No chance.Benzema for one.
Yea no chance in hell Lewandowski is even half as complete as Benzema.No chance.
Go on then I'll humor you.Yea no chance in hell Lewandowski is even half as complete as Benzema.
Lewas a better finisher but benzemas link up play is better imoGo on then I'll humor you.
Based on what though? Benzema plays for Real Madrid and France and pretty much always has good players around him. Lewa has the misfortune of being by far the best player Poland has. His link-up play with Muller, Gnabry etc is just as good as Karim for me.Lewas a better finisher but benzemas link up play is better imo

Benzema hasn't played for France for years. Benzema sacrificed his game to do the dog work for Ronaldo. It's not even close.Based on what though?

Werner scored 28 goals in his last Bundesliga seasonToo easy to play in Germany
Benzema has also had patchy finishing over the years. I'd always thought his link up play and control was his best asset.I don't know if Lewandoski is a better finisher, he misses ridiculous things. For me he is a sophisticated version of Cavani, his power is in his ability to be at the right place at the right time, almost all the time. He is the better striker but not necessarily the most complete of the two.
I mentioned France to make the point that whatever team he plays in it's a good one with very good players around him.Benzema hasn't played for France for years. Benzema sacrificed his game to do the dog work for Ronaldo. It's not even close.
@GlastonSpur thoughts?
