If he can play the role why was he complaining in the interview?

"I wanted to take the next step - but suddenly I was playing in a No.10 role. I was quite mad because I wanted to play up front"

It's obvious Klop wanted him to learn something specific at that point which was the reason he deployed him there not because he could play as a 10.

TheGoodJoe:


Which kind of question is this one?

goldfish80:

Me sentimental? Coming from a guy who believes Iwobi was having a better game than Moses Simon and I'm the one being sentimental.



I think this thread have indoctrinated some people wrongfully into the belive that some players must not be criticised at all cost. Anyone with a contrary view to such performance by such a player is called out which often ends in name calling.

This is not a women's support group, this is a football thread. Objectivity,criticism, truth and tactical analysis backed up with facts and data should be sold here.

Labelling Lewandowski a no 10 is just an elaborate desperate bid to save face and down play the calls to have a more powerful centre forward for the Super Eagles.

TheGoodJoe didn't even realise that his lewandoski comparison with Batistuta and Shearer points to exactly the big, strong, classic centre type we have been clamouring for to suit our formation.

TheGoodJoe:



Stop the cries. The point is a simple as accepting the truth. Lewandowski has played the ten role and can play the ten role. Simple. Modern day forwards can play multiple roles. That is why Lewandowski can drop into different pockets off spaces during play. That is what makes him exceptional.

Finish. You can continue arguing forever or learn and move on.

Loogan, do not mind some of them here. They will rather take a bullet to the head than learn if it means they were wrong.

Just like someone asked the other about Ronaldo : " Is Lewandoski playing for Nigeria against Cameroon?"

To the #TeamBigStrikers name the Big NIGERIAN Striker you want us to feature against Cameroon and let us take the argument up from there.

It seems you choose to twist other people words to support your claim because you understand English I would have thought that was the problem.....the Nigeria South Africa game you came out to say iwobi has been poor, I said he had impressed with the little he saw on the ball, that was the first half of the game(that was an opinion I had in the first half)...but because iwobi was removed you started shouting sentiment, you can criticize iwobi for having a poor game but didn't say anything on others who had a poor game to like ndidi&etebo and you be preaching.

TheGoodJoe:



Yet Lewandowski has told FFT that, although he was not happy about it at the time, operating in the No.10 role helped him become a more rounded player.

Speaking exclusively in the December 2015 issue of FourFourTwo, he says: “Borussia first expressed an interest after my first year in Poznan. When I left after the second season, I wanted to take the next step - but suddenly I was playing in a No.10 role. I was quite mad because I wanted to play up front.

It was only in the following year that I realised how much I had learned in that position. I told myself: ‘You have become a better player.’ Then I realised why the coach had asked me to play as a No.10; he made me a more complete player.”

Keep lying to yourself. Show me what you posted that I left out in the earlier post I made. Keep putting your ego in front of the truth and not learn.

Rather kill yourself than commit suicide because accepting the truth is a No No for you.

Part of the reason might have been because Klopp, now in charge of Liverpool, opted to deploy the Pole in the hole behind Paraguayan forward Lucas Barrios, who bagged twice as many league goals as Lewandowski that season.

goldfish80:


Here is another part you left out



He played behind the more established Lucas Barrios for a few games not exactly the stereotype no 10 midfield meastro like you want to make us believe. In this sort of formation, during game situation, he will be right up top with Barrios. Dont try confusing us that he can play the 10 role like Jay Jay Okocha.

TheGoodJoe:


You want to argue with Lewandowski!


When I left after the second season, I wanted to take the next step - but suddenly I was playing in a No.10 role... Lewandowski

Chai, learn and move on.

From the same article you are quoting here's an except;

Obviously, the no 10 role they are talking about here is just a more elaborate way of saying he played as a second striker behind Barrios. This on its own shouldnt be such a surprise because almost every striker in the world world have at one point played as a second striker. Even Drogba in his first season with Chelsea played behind Crespo. The average Nigerian refers to the ten role as the Jay Jay Okocha / Zidane kind of role.

You run into these sort of glitch when you copy everything from Google hook line and sinker.
If you had actually watched him play, you will won't run to town shouting that Lewandowski can play the 10 role. You would replaced the no 10 with SS.

If I throway Suicide Picture they will blame me.

Lewandoski is the real definition of target man. Big, strong, good shot to booth, win headers, brings people into play and all that classic no 9 move.
Where people are getting the idea that a good all fashioned, big, strong striker model is going extinct defiles belief.

Not when one of the hottest players in the transfer market who clubs are falling over themselves to sign up with about £80M transfer fee quoted in the person of Torino striker, Belloti is the definition of a proper big centre forward.
Amongst the top rated teenagers in Europe is Alexander Isak of Dortmund. At just 17 he's imposing figure stands at 6ft 3.

It's not like I'm at loss why people are running with the view that the big centre forward type is not fashionable. Obviously all in view to make a case for Kelechi starting for the eagles at all cost.
