what a cnut
Starting to think Lewandowski is a bit like the Djokovic of football. Messi vs Ronaldo is the Federer vs Nadal debate and it's like Lewandowski is disrupting their party, even though he's scoring like they did for 3 or 4 years in a row now. I don't think he'll get close to surpassing them, but it still feels like people sleep on Lewandowski's stats which are every bit as good as theirs, but doesn't always capture attention. If he's anything like Djokovic, the lack of recognition for that will motivate him to keep doing it an insane level.
Shearer was never as good as Lewandowski is, and the only stats in his favor are cumulative totals. Lewandowski just broke the all time bundesliga record for goals in a season, scoring 41 goals in 29 matches.The thing is he needs to win more UCLs to be even in the same conversation. Djokovic didn't became Djokovic without winning every Grand Slam. His stats are outstanding, but Messi had more prolific seasons, much more prolific ones and Cristiano had much iconic UCL moments. He may have the stats but if only stats would do it, Shearer would have been the EPL GOAT. And unlike Shearer, here Lewa has to compete with players who have had better stats in single seasons or overall.
yes, he is inherently evil nowSo a person becomes a cnut because he does lip sync and harmless dance movie internet challenges in a social media platform
It’s also about how you perceive Bundesliga and Bayern’s domination. I think many outside of Germany slightly downplay Lewy’s impact on Bayern but it’s a fair question to ask - would Bayern really win less league titles if instead of Lewandowski they had one or two slightly worse strikers?The thing is he needs to win more UCLs to be even in the same conversation.

Not cnut. Definitely a tool. Absolute state of him.So a person becomes a cnut because he does lip sync and harmless dance movie internet challenges in a social media platform
Indeed, I also think France Football specifically said the cringy videos had some weight on decisions regarding last few Ballon d’OrsNot cnut. Definitely a tool. Absolute state of him.
He has to be considered one of the greatest strikers of all time, we all know he deserved a Ballon d'OrShearer was never as good as Lewandowski is, and the only stats in his favor are cumulative totals. Lewandowski just broke the all time bundesliga record for goals in a season, scoring 41 goals in 29 matches.
In terms of prolific seasons (or in this case, calender year), Lewandowski just scored as many goals as Ronaldo ever did in a calendar year (69) while playing less matches, taking less shots, and taking less penalities.
Only Messi has been more prolific in the modern era as the current version of Lewandowski.
It's difficult to compare tennis to football, and a balón d'or would do wonders for his legacy, but I'm not sure I follow the stats argument.
Bayern as a team are too strong, they were winning things even with the likes of Manduzic and Gomez(both were excellent forwards in their own rights, although not as prolific and match winning as Lewa). They might not win Europe, but they would do okay without him, but a good goal scorer in the middle.

Because of that the more interesting question might be what impact it could have had if he stayed at Dortmund for some more years? I think they would have had a chance to win one or two leagues more with him.Bayern as a team are too strong, they were winning things even with the likes of Manduzic and Gomez(both were excellent forwards in their own rights, although not as prolific and match winning as Lewa).

He probably would not have developed in this way if he would have stayed at Dortmund as he would not have to adapt to another system. But it makes no sense discussing that - he never intended to stay in Dortmund. If he would not have left to Bayern he would have gone elsewhere.Because of that the more interesting question might be what impact it could have had if he stayed at Dortmund for some more years?

Actually they won the CL with Mandzukic and Gomez in 2013 in a very impressive way beating Arsenal, Juventus, Barcelona and Dortmund.Bayern as a team are too strong, they were winning things even with the likes of Manduzic and Gomez(both were excellent forwards in their own rights, although not as prolific and match winning as Lewa).

But you have to give it it was a much better team in 2013 - Ribery, Robben, Muller, Kroos, Basti all mature yet hungry, one of the strongest sides of last few decades. Mandzu was a great player in that teamActually they won the CL with Mandzukic and Gomez in 2013 in a very impressive way beating Arsenal, Juventus, Barcelona and Dortmund.
In 12/13 the focus was on Robben and Ribery - the output of the striker was not that important (but his workrate was) - and Müller until the final stages in the CL was the one that was huge with his deciders whereas Ribery and others were making the play.Actually they won the CL with Mandzukic and Gomez in 2013 in a very impressive way beating Arsenal, Juventus, Barcelona and Dortmund.
It's always hard to compare teams of different generations.But you have to give it it was a much better team in 2013 - Ribery, Robben, Muller, Kroos, Basti all mature yet hungry, one of the strongest sides of last few decades. Mandzu was a great player in that team
Shearer is mainly known for his newcastle stint though. And a brief one at Blackburn. Lewandowski is the main striker at a huge club that nearly always wins league every year and are favourites for the CL. Not saying that Shearer is better, but put him in the Bayern that Lewa joined and he would have crazy stats as well.Shearer was never as good as Lewandowski is, and the only stats in his favor are cumulative totals.

I have no doubt that he would, but the question is whether he'd be able to hit the same numbers Lewandowski is. I think that many top strikers would see their output increase if they played for the current Bayern team, but I can't see anyone doing much better than Lewandowski's current strike rate (which hovers around 1.15 GPM if I'm not mistaken).Shearer is mainly known for his newcastle stint though.

He almost signed for United back in his Dortmund days. Even had the phone call conversation with SAF.Saw the title and thought he signed for United...
He will imo. Probably end at around 43 if he's fit.He's got 28 goals in 23 games.
Exactly the same number of goals after the same number of matches as last season, when he set the new Bundesliga record of 41 goals in one season.
Is he going to break his own record this season?
(Remember that due to an injury he missed four games in March/April last season.)
isn’t the World Cup in the winter?He will imo. Probably end at around 43 if he's fit.
I really hope he carries Poland to the World Cup in March. Would be shite to have a world cup without him.
Best player in the world easily.
Yes sir! But the qualifiers he'll have to play is in March.isn’t the World Cup in the winter?
Tbf he has 9 goals and 2 assists in 7 CL games this season. Not too shabby eh?I'd rather have him play some spectacular games in the UCL. People won't be impressed by BL numbers no matter what.
Hard to blame them when you watch matches like BVB vs Rangers .
In the past 3 seasons he has 29 goals in 23 games in the Champions League, including a Champions League win. He also once scored 4 goals in a CL semi-final against Real Madrid worthy of a 10 rating on L’Equipe, so can’t say he’s never done it in Europe.I'd rather have him play some spectacular games in the UCL.

The whole team was shit, can't single him out here.He was terrible the other week against Salzburg.
Yes, but that's not enough. He wants to be considered THE best, right?Yes sir! But the qualifiers he'll have to play is in March.

I'm only talking about this season though. Not questioning his whole career or anythingIn the past 3 seasons he has 29 goals in 23 games in the Champions League, including a Champions League win. He also once scored 4 goals in a CL semi-final against Real Madrid worthy of a 10 rating on L’Equipe, so can’t say he’s never done it in Europe.
Imagine not being allowed to have an off night..Yes, but that's not enough. He wants to be considered THE best, right?
Means he needs to do more than just score in BL and CL group stage when Bayern is doing well. I really liked how he looked against Bochum despite having no support. He needs to have performances like that more often and against stronger opponents, including CL knockouts. He can't have games like the one vs Salzburg.
Wasn't he at Dortmund also when he scored 4 goals against Madrid?In the past 3 seasons he has 29 goals in 23 games in the Champions League, including a Champions League win. He also once scored 4 goals in a CL semi-final against Real Madrid worthy of a 10 rating on L’Equipe, so can’t say he’s never done it in Europe.
He was indeed, but since this is the Lewandowski thread, not the Bayern thread.Wasn't he at Dortmund also when he scored 4 goals against Madrid?
Nah, just goes to show he was/is an extraordinary forward over the past several years. Four goals against Real while playing for an ‘underdog’ club.He was indeed, but since this is the Lewandowski thread, not the Bayern thread.
