We NEED to talk about Barcelona fans........ They have little to no patience, easily get riled up by rival fans, keep changing their stances every week & forget the past too easily. They could learn a thing or two from Liverpool fans.
Spot on, when are we gonna learn that sacking coaches every year isn't gonna get us back to prime barca all of a sudden. There was valverde, then qique, koeman, and now xavi and everybody shout "xavi out! " As if the next coach is gonna be any better. I respect arsenal precisely because they trust arteta and it pays off
It’s a process You sack a lot of managers and see no results And only after then everyone will understand This club needs stability and a long term project
Some fans, not all. The most demanding fans in the world are Madridistas but it doesn't seem as bad due to them getting results. The president of the league supports them, the President of the club has run them pretty well for decades so things are done properly. We as a club rose up after so much Madrid supremacy to have La Masia such an integral part of our future ahead of galacticos transfers and signings were only made to either compliment are style and philosophy or help steer it in a positive direction. Things changed more drastically with Bartomeu. It seemed more as if the goal was to replicate Madrids methods rather than our own. Look at it like the MCU and how they spent time building up to Avengers and how DC tried to rush everything right out of the gate. It caused a lot of issues. Enrique left then we got Valverde. Yes he got results but we didn't like the style of play. It felt alien to us. There were also so many needless transfers that seemed either politically charged or for hidden agendas. Iniesta goes to Vissel Kobe randomly which felt influenced by Rakuten, we spent 50m on Paulinho who although ended up doing well, was sold for the same amount straight away. We brought in KP Boateng, Denis Suarez and bunch more. We spent a crazy amount on Dembele after basically a season of form instead of getting a player like Chukweze, we got Coutinho and Griezmann despite both not being able to play in their proper positions due to Messi with the latter publicly rejecting us on Spanish TV. We got a manager that a lot of fans including myself were so happy for in Quique Setien but he didn't get the backing of the board, players were allowed to bully him into them deciding things and that's how Bayern 8-2 happened and he was sacked for it. Bartomeu gave trash players insane contracts so not only were they burning our pockets, we couldn't sell them to anyone wanting them. They didn't play for the badge anymore and you could see it. Messi was opposed to how the club was being run and Bartomeu instead of stepping down like he should've years prior, made promises to him that he broke, leaked Messis contract and his dealing with the club ultimately left us in such a bad situation that Messi was forced to leave due to La Ligas restrictions. Many Barca fans are plastic and many Socios could've helped prevent a lot of these things by calling for a vote of no confidence years before but when Laporta came and Xavi came shortly after, we were hopeful. Coming into this season, we were filled with confidence. But then dumb things started happening, Eze Abde who we finally recalled was given no proper confidence and with Dembele leaving, you'd think we'd try to do our best to keep him and Ansu but no, we let all 3 go. Yes we have Yamal and Ferran but Dembele was our most dangerous attacker since Messi left and Abde/Fati had the ability to really open up a defence if given time to settle. Alba left and we got no backup LB (Alonso doesn't count). Lewa had been shaky since the WC and was never replaced or benched when he performed poorly which hurt the team. The defence all of a sudden started playing badly especially when Kounde and Araujo swapped from RCB to RB. So many injuries happened including MATS. Players stopped playing with passion. If Xavi addressed some of these things properly, we wouldn't have minded as much but especially with Lewandowski, fans got tired because we put our hope into him and had nothing to show for it. Random games we'll perform and it's like we forget to not get complacent. So many issues and I've left so many things out such as 4-0 Liverpool, Tebas vs Barca, the Negreira case, UCL disappointments and a lot more. All of this is tiring and we could even be losing Araujo to Bayern in the summer
To be fair to Lewandowski, we’ve put Suarez and Messi level expectations on him despite entering his later 30’s. No matter how legendary you are, age doesn’t forget you.
Also not in his preferred position. He plays in some kind of ss-lwf-false 9 position for some reason. Rarely in the box. And even when he is in the box, nobody supplies.🤦🏻♂️ It's a mess on all levels
Leading scorer for Barcelona, second in entire La Liga in assists, over 20 total goals this season. Not bad for 35 years old and supposedly being "washed up." BTW it's Lewy not *Lewa. Any serious footy afficionado should know that.
@@danchiziofficial2159 support him when he fails to do his job as the veteran in the squad... Bench him. Madrid would never accept that shit and that's why they are where they are and we're where we are
You barca fans need to have respect for Lewandowski, he didnt have to join your club he just wanted to help, he is actually good but you guys dont appreciate him
Facts. That's why I appreciate everything he's done here. He might not be the same as he was at Bayern but he is very reliable and a reliable striker is exactly what we were missing ever since Suarez's departure. People need to remember he is in his 30s and for a guy that age to still be scoring 15+ goals a season in la liga is incredible.
For the standards Lewandowski has set through the years this season is a drop off for sure but lets not overreact, at his age he should never be relied on as the main striking threat although (9 goals out of possible 12xG isnt that bad). The finger should be pointed at the Barca board for thinking an ageing striker would consistently reproduce at the peak of his abilities. Lets no act like he is a bum
at his age most strikers would be playing in korea or something, the fact that hes still capable of playing in laliga at his age is incredible and I think we really need to have more respect for him.
@@ThanukshaB I'm happy with roque . Start him regularly. The moment he enters the pitch our game play improves a lot and we become very quick in counters . Idk how , but that's the reality.
@@puljz8551 Lewy is a 30 something year old striker that constantly underperforms and whines and complains whenever people don't do things 100% to his liking Vitor Roque is an up and coming superstar that plays amazing We will have patience, unlike you people that just jerk off Xavi at every opportunity
Dembele literally never in his life looked at players before he crosses, he just fucking crosses randomly and hopes someone gets the ball, yes he was electric, mesmerizing at times, makes u stand up sometimes on how fast he is but come on, I didn't forget all the pain he made me feel with all the mistakes, possession loss, bad pass and bad cross, and don't make me start about his shooting
people saying why did barca sign him ? he was the top goalscorer in la liga last season , the injury in wc has affected him , i still think he can pull back a good season now but who knows
A striker is supposed to get in those places and even if he doesnt always finish those chances he is still a great striker even right now, i think the problem Lewa and Barca are facing right now is the referees and not so much just the players not performing all the time, just the fact that Lewandowski has that high of an xG proves that he is still one of the best strikers around and shouldnt be doubted because wherever he is he will make a comeback by the end of the year just like how Ronaldo made a comeback in 2023, as you saw even with less xG to goals Lewa was still the best scorer from 2017 to 2024
What we really need to do is invest in a world class CDM profile (Kimmich, Palhinha or Florentino Luis) to protect our goal. Our performances wouldn't be studied under such a microscope if we didn't concede as much we're doing right now. Remember we won scrappy 1-0 games last year all the time but we WON. Ter stegen returning would be an improvement over the current scenario but the back four needs protection and fast because Mbappe is coming soon....
@@timof9886 Bayern never really needed a true 6 to be absolutely dominant. Sure they have Pavlovic now but they always rely on a double pivot (kimmich+goretzka) which could be implemented in barca as well with frenkie. But realistically that deal is nigh impossible and we should focus on cheaper options like palhinha
I been saying we need a profile similar to declan rice, palhinha, tchouameni to sit in the 6 so the defense is not as exposed (like kessie last year) and it will also free whoever plays in the lcm position because frenkie has been underperforming due to the defensive pressure on him as gundo makes free man runs into the box to bad we are broke😢
@@mat_j nvm frenkie rumours just surfaced he might be sold this summer 💀 And with the news of 200m to be generated in player sales this summer, this time it sounds way more possible than ever before... 😭
Why does he not get any calls he gets hit and pulled down and never ever gets calls does anyone see that vini (who’s a diver) gets so many calls every game but Lewa doesn’t get the same treatment
He had some disputes with Xavi , one was Xavi was insisting that he shouldn't drop deep and the other was Lewa was insisting for more players in the box, because most of the time he was very isolated and doubled and everything was predictable and there's no confusion for the defense so he can capitalize on. Also they had alot of injuries last season, which affects the player's morale
If we sell Suarez at this age how come we expect lewan to perform at this age his no were near Suarez for me cus Suarez can make a goal out of no were he runs and fight and still finish
Suarez only had 27 CL in his career. Lewandowski will get that at Barcelona in a few years playing in a wheelchair. Suarez has 10 goals in 41 games vs top EPL teams. That's even worse than Harry Kane. Lewandowski is playing with bums too not All stars like Suarez has.
Lewandowski is old. We can't expect him to play at top level when he is literally playing every minute of every match. But I think Xavi knows this and even tho Lewandowski still starts every match, he is getting substituted earlier and earlier. I think after like 3 matches Vitor will start a match instead of Lewandowski.
I truly believe that Robert Lewandoski is still a capable striker even if he’s lost a step. When I watch Barcelona games I see him isolated and never involved in the play. That’s on Xavi to create an attacking system that gets him the ball. Right now it seems to be the opposite. The ball seemingly never goes Lewas way. I feel like this has resulted in him being in his own head so when he does get a chance to score he tries to force it and misses. I don’t think he’s the right type of striker for Xavi
He's done really good here for a striker his age. I figured he likely wouldnt be putting up the ballon dor numbers he did at Bayern, but he is still reliable
I hate when people try to rewrite history whenever a player is out of form, after being so good for so long. A prime example is Robert Lewandowski, many of us see him as one of the greatest strikers in football history and rightfully so as his track record for club and country speak for itself, but by his standards, it's a down year for him. I agree that it makes sense to slander him because he's not playing well, he isn't scoring a lot, it seems like age has caught up with him, underperformed his expected goals by a lot this season and he seems to blame other factors for his slump, like Xavi's tactics, teammates not passing him the ball enough and he also has one of the worst body languages I've ever seen from a player, his attitude isn't right, yet every time he has a bad performance, misses a lot of chances and Barcelona end up dropping points, we all blame Xavi for this. A lot of people believe that in the striker position, he should be dropped to the bench, no matter how he plays, he'll keep starting, he scored in yesterday's game meaning that Xavi won't bench him for the next game. Overall, he doesn't fit the way this team plays and yes strikers are responsible for scoring goals, but playing on Barcelona requires you to be involved in the buildup play, and that's not how he plays and as a result of that, he can be a passenger in games, because when he's not scoring, he's not doing anything to help the team and he often has some loose touches and questionable passes. Recently, prior to this injury crisis that they're facing up top, Xavi was finally subbing him off when he didn't play well and at the start of the season, he basically had an unwritten rule for Lewandowski stating that no matter how bad he played, he was gonna start no matter what and regardless of performance, he was hardly even getting subbed off in his career and last season, Xavi would never do something like that and many of us believed he would be benched by now, but is still starting. He can start games, but he can't finish 90 minutes every game. Fans also want him sold to Saudi Arabia at the end of the season and I don't know what's gonna happen with Robert Lewandowski at Barcelona next season because his future at the club depends on who comes in as their next manager. At the time they signed him, he was the best striker in the world and last season he delivered with a lot of goals, at the time they brought him in he was 33 years old, he's 35 now and he was obviously a short term solution for Barcelona and you can see how much he's struggling and with him about to be 36 this summer, I don't expect him to be their first choice striker in the next 2 years and developing Victor Roque is important and giving Marc Guiu more chances because we know they won't sign Mbappe or Haaland, they also don't have the money to go out and buy guys like Victor Osimhen Ivan Toney Ollie Watkins Lautaro Martinez Alexander Isak etc, because Barcelona have to rely on the sources they have at their disposal. 10 goals in the champions league and La Liga, 14 goals in all competitions at this stage of a season, many of us feel like that this is one of his worst seasons in a long time and from September to November, his drought of 6 games without a goal was the longest goalless streak since 2010 which was 14 years ago and that tells you just how good he's been for a long time and how it hasn't happened for him this season for many reasons and I wonder what's gonna happen to him after this season.
I agree with all of everything you said except that the 9 needs to be involved in the build up. Every time ferran and vitor played up top this season we found very good chances at goal and that is no question because they are runners they are looking to expose the spaces in behind or in the final third while lewy has been dropping to deep and occupying spaces that others look for. All of our midfield starting three at the moment have the technical ability to the put the ball on a needle in behind (gundo, pedri, fdj) so not maximizing their talent has been affecting us. Lewandowski jus doesn’t fit the system and is aging ferran and vitor show youth through the middle
Those expected goals stat is nonsense. I suggest you actually watch the games. Those expected goals are at best, half-chances. This is not entirely Lewandowski's fault.
I strongly believe that lewandowski has it in him still but i believe there are two problems, one barca fans killed him after a few matches and this started at the start of 2023 when he came back from the world cup. The other is even though barca create a lot of chances they aren't really concrete. Barca wingers shoot crosses but most of the time they never go to a single player. They cross without ever raising their head to see where the striker is. I see lewandowski match after match making runs and never gets the ball. You want a striker to do well work with his runs don't just kick the ball and hope he gets there.
I think everybody expected him to be 2018-2020 Lewandoski, but he’s like 34 now. Messi and Ronaldo and a few others have tricked us into thinking it was normal for players at 33-37 to be playing a pretty good level. Unfortunately most players at 30-35 slow down tremendously. This is a normal decline for a top player. Maybe it shouldn’t be this rapid considering his skill set wasn’t or isn’t based off of athleticism and speed. But I think more people should understand it’s very hard for players to be like modric, Messi, or Ronaldo at 35. Winning the World Cup, getting to Ucl finals etc. that is abnormal, it’s not regular. But yeah, I think it was expected for him to be Bayern Lewandoski, since his skills aren’t based off of speed and athleticism. And it’s crazy how steep his decline is.
Seriously What going on with Barcelona and making OP player suck when join in? Philipe Coutinho (the one that lead the downfall), Antonie Greezman, Dembele, Depay, Sergio Aguero, and then Lewandowski What Curses is Barcelona have other than in Debts
@@blaugranaftbl during their Prime and not Injury time Dembele in France world cup and Sergio Aguero Man City Top Scorers Like when they Join Barcelona They always Injured Is Spanish League really have Tough CB?
@@r3ddr01d7 first of all dembele was always an injury prone player, and for aguero.. that’s just disrespectful his heart literally stopped working and that was happening before he joined Barca, and depay was never injured during his time at Barca so idk what you’re in bud

@@r3ddr01d7 well yeah it kinda makes sense but Barca spent 86 million on frenkie and he’s been one of Barca’s greatest players this season but lewy he is a bit washed..
In Bundesliga there's more space given than almost any other league, in La Liga there's always a personal mark, and defenders have had almost 20 years of trying to adapt to locking the space Messi creates, La Liga is a bad matchup for Lewandowski once they figured him out after his first season
I agree with you and to me nowadays Roque is the best option to start along lewa, ferran is valid but he needs to move more and I don't really rely on Felix starting bc without ball he's not consistent pressing as even Fermin in the LW
I don't think it's age that's is problem.Hes downgraded a lot on finishing,ball control, positioning and other factors for a striker.Sometimes he needs service,but obviously getting it from wingers like raphinha,Ferran and joao felix won't always deliver.I think it's just a drop in form and I still do think he can perform better again despite his age.Hes not like Suarez,unlike him lewa needs service to deliver (like haaland).What made Suarez better than lewa is that Suarez could do everything even after ageing.Suarez was still able to score by himself dribbling through defenders or even assist others.But lewa,he's just not like him.I believe he can comeback
@@KingCroceditz10 I mean he was still Missing loads of easy chances in 2017 but the number increased dramatically in 2019 and I don't understand how leg problems make you miss an easy tapin
@@zamasublack7024he scored 54 in 2020, scored 57 in 2021, scored 69 goals in 2022, which is the 3 highest goal in a calendar year for any player in top 5 league in Europe of all time and his also the highest goal scorer since 2017 till date but according to you he as being finished since 2019😂
He scores goals if you create one touch shooting chances. Barca don't have that type of creativity like citeh do with bernado, de bruyne and grealish. On the otherside bayern have sane, musiala that create one touch shooting chances for kane. Barca have a leeds reject on there right wing. Htafc fan so unbias at all here.
The problem is the fanbase. Xavi is someone who loves the clubs and fans The fans want Xavi to bench lewa but when Lewa somehow scores they want him to start bec were starting to many youngsters😭. Last season was suppose to be a rebuild season and we won la liga and copa. So let Xavi rebuild this season ffs
Even though roque has elite movement and is a natural space finder there is no way he and lewandowski can both operate centrally. Felix would be a much better option as he provides much better linkup and finds similar spaces to roque. the only problem is playing felix with only two natural midfielders can’t work since we don’t have a world class cdm and that is one of the reasons why debruyne dominated towards the end of last season with halaand when he played as second striker instead of wide 8. Rodri took pressure off the midfield defensively while also setting tempo. ( gundo is a 8 not a 6 so everyone knows)
It is the nature that age effects abilities he is not the same anymore 💔 If a player can not perform they should not be starter player and xavi didn't do that . Midfielders are creating chances and he keeps wasting them Lewa's bad performance and stegen's injury was what made xavi's tactics so bad and not working Playing vitor is xavi's only option And we as fans we must be patient with those youngsters Unfortunately we don't have good finances
HAHA u actually noticed the fouls he's receiving. I was going to dislike ur video because of the clickbaity thumbnail, but then u proved to me that u actually watch the games and have a very educated opinion. so i had to give u a thumbs up instead.
i watch his game very closely. He had a stretch of few bad games but most of the criticism is way overboard. He's strugling when he's not getting the ball, than he gets frustrated, gets out of position starts forcing things. After watching Bayern for many years I'm shocked how many times in barca he's open in perfect position to score but he never gets the ball. Second thing is this Barca style . Slow build up and lack of good crosses in the box. I don't remeber a good in first tempo. Frankie is scared to make any risky pass, Yamal is mostly interested in dribling and shooting. Barca needs a strong coach to sort this team out
You cant really blame the other players for Lewas mediocre performance... sure Barca isnt the same as Bayern but Lewa was able to score last season. He just isn't putting the effort to get to the ball. You said it yourself, he isnt able to cross 31km/h, which is ridiculously slow for a striker
Lewa is in the game for such a long time he should be leading the front line not Xavi Telling what to to do to create more goals to Yamal felix and raphinha should be his job description
Nah this video wasn't it. Way to harsh - sure he's not HIM anymore but he's not as bad as people make him out to be. He's still out top scorer and the performances got better over the last few games. He just needs to regain confidence and the competition from roque will help
It’s not complicated. Do yall remember Suarez at this age? Absolute garbage. Players get old. The bigger question is why does he start over Guiu or Roque consistently
Also that he just isnt good at all off the ball, like he will ask for a long ball from frenkie and pedri all the time and either lose the ball after the first touch or throw his arms in frustration when they dont pass to him. He is walking most of the time and isnt aware of spaces that he should run or for places he should make up for when midefielders like pedri and gundo try to cover his area.
he is too focused on the ball i think, cant be sure but it definetely looks like that, too passive when he needs to run in space and too active when team doesnt need to run, he watches the ball , not the game
Dude is getting old in football years. We all feared this would happen because of his advancing age. We are already hearing talk that the club wants to keep Lewy for next season. Hmmmm. Lets see how Lewy and the team does at the end of the season.
He was a great player already in Borussia, winning the Torjägerkanone, he is Poland's most prolific goal-scorer of all time by far, and also, lets not forget, he won the Pichichi last year, at 36. That's not exactly disappearing into oblivion outside of Bayern, is it?
![ร้อยพ่อพันแม่ - WanMai [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/XY2pNYASEbg/mqdefault.jpg)
This video aged like milk
Lewa did not have problems at bayern bcoz bayern is used to having creative players like Muller, robben , ribery who would supply to him.
Did you even watched the video?
what you’re saying is really stupid, he has missed the most big chances in europe and barca has created the most big chances in europe
We have those players like Gundo, Pedri, Yamal but Lewa can't make those runs anymore
I think he is now better only on kicking penalty 😅
not only that but he alwasy got good fast wingers. Also Lewy was part of the creativity of Muller they complemented each other very well
Now he is the best striker in whole of Europe.
Lewandowski converted into Lewangoalski back ❤

Lewandowski can play deadly one-twos and I think that is such an underutilised skill that Barcelona should use more in general
it's funny i feel like barcas wingers don't understand the concept of give and go...or far post...
@@mat_jthey dont
Bro lewandowski was good every game that he played for barca
Xavi wants 4 midfielders in the team. Maybe he should play 4 4 2. Roque and Lewa as the strikers.
Thts the only answer
How can he score if he never gets a good pass? When he does, he scores.
And here we are with Lewandowski now 5 goals in 4 matches. Not bad huh..? :)
If lewa was at bayern he'd be scoring plenty. We don't have the wingers to provide him with service like dembele or others
Dembele literally never in his life looked at players before he crosses, he just fucking crosses randomly and hopes someone gets the ball, yes he was electric, mesmerizing at times, makes u stand up sometimes on how fast he is but come on, I didn't forget all the pain he made me feel with all the mistakes, possession loss, bad pass and bad cross, and don't make me start about his shooting
@@web.deslgner🤣🤣🤣
people saying why did barca sign him ? he was the top goalscorer in la liga last season , the injury in wc has affected him , i still think he can pull back a good season now but who knows
This video aged well ❤️🩹💙
the problem is not Lewandowski, but weak Barcelona!
A striker is supposed to get in those places and even if he doesnt always finish those chances he is still a great striker even right now, i think the problem Lewa and Barca are facing right now is the referees and not so much just the players not performing all the time, just the fact that Lewandowski has that high of an xG proves that he is still one of the best strikers around and shouldnt be doubted because wherever he is he will make a comeback by the end of the year just like how Ronaldo made a comeback in 2023, as you saw even with less xG to goals Lewa was still the best scorer from 2017 to 2024
This guy is clearly a messi fan.when he say is time to remove the poster and you see cr7
Ur dunce
Stop critcinzing lewa .the whole team play like crap
What we really need to do is invest in a world class CDM profile (Kimmich, Palhinha or Florentino Luis) to protect our goal. Our performances wouldn't be studied under such a microscope if we didn't concede as much we're doing right now. Remember we won scrappy 1-0 games last year all the time but we WON. Ter stegen returning would be an improvement over the current scenario but the back four needs protection and fast because Mbappe is coming soon....
Im sorry but barca fans mentioning kimmich as a 6 while bayern clearly knows he is not a true 6 is so funny💀
@@timof9886 Bayern never really needed a true 6 to be absolutely dominant. Sure they have Pavlovic now but they always rely on a double pivot (kimmich+goretzka) which could be implemented in barca as well with frenkie. But realistically that deal is nigh impossible and we should focus on cheaper options like palhinha
I been saying we need a profile similar to declan rice, palhinha, tchouameni to sit in the 6 so the defense is not as exposed (like kessie last year) and it will also free whoever plays in the lcm position because frenkie has been underperforming due to the defensive pressure on him as gundo makes free man runs into the box to bad we are broke😢
i agree frankie is afraid to make and risky pass
@@mat_j nvm frenkie rumours just surfaced he might be sold this summer 💀
And with the news of 200m to be generated in player sales this summer, this time it sounds way more possible than ever before... 😭
Why does he not get any calls he gets hit and pulled down and never ever gets calls does anyone see that vini (who’s a diver) gets so many calls every game but Lewa doesn’t get the same treatment
atleast he's picked up somewhat better form most recently. 5 goals in 2024 already, not bad at all
He had some disputes with Xavi , one was Xavi was insisting that he shouldn't drop deep and the other was Lewa was insisting for more players in the box, because most of the time he was very isolated and doubled and everything was predictable and there's no confusion for the defense so he can capitalize on. Also they had alot of injuries last season, which affects the player's morale
Awful timing. Hes scoring consistently now and his performances are getting better and better. Do better
If we sell Suarez at this age how come we expect lewan to perform at this age his no were near Suarez for me cus Suarez can make a goal out of no were he runs and fight and still finish
Suarez only had 27 CL in his career.
Lewandowski will get that at Barcelona in a few years playing in a wheelchair.
Suarez has 10 goals in 41 games vs top EPL teams. That's even worse than Harry Kane. Lewandowski is playing with bums too not All stars like Suarez has.
Yeah Lewandowski is nowhere near Suarez at ghosting in big games
Lewa is a better striker than suarez. The records speak for themselves
Barcelona doesn’t deserve Lewandowski. La Liga refs treat him like shit.
Nothing happened to him.
He is still fantastic for them, considering he was playing with an injury for half a season.
Just remember Messi could never score against Inter Milan.
Fall from grace? He is in top 3 strikers in 2024 in top 5 EU leagues. If you look at stats XD
He is in much better form now than he was when I made this video. Hopefully he keeps it up for the rest of the season because we really need him lol.
@@bobblylou with our new form do you think we can vs madrid in april?
@@bobblylouno you’re just a hater😂😂 the team is bad he is the only reason Barca are surviving
Now make one about Bellingham….
Lewandowski is old. We can't expect him to play at top level when he is literally playing every minute of every match.
But I think Xavi knows this and even tho Lewandowski still starts every match, he is getting substituted earlier and earlier.
I think after like 3 matches Vitor will start a match instead of Lewandowski.
for me as a Pole and Cule it's so sad to see him fall in Barca, but I really do hope he will comeback to his form
Xavis system sucked 🤷♂️
I truly believe that Robert Lewandoski is still a capable striker even if he’s lost a step. When I watch Barcelona games I see him isolated and never involved in the play. That’s on Xavi to create an attacking system that gets him the ball. Right now it seems to be the opposite. The ball seemingly never goes Lewas way. I feel like this has resulted in him being in his own head so when he does get a chance to score he tries to force it and misses. I don’t think he’s the right type of striker for Xavi
Simply put it as he’s old and cause we know how good he is they still expect something great from him
He is old, his playtime should be cut and given to Guiu and Roque
Roque and backup Ansu and Guiu for next season. Sell Lewy for 25 million take the money! Barca take the mooooooney!!!
typical coment from a casual
He's done really good here for a striker his age. I figured he likely wouldnt be putting up the ballon dor numbers he did at Bayern, but he is still reliable
Mid season fk no end good 👍
I hate when people try to rewrite history whenever a player is out of form, after being so good for so long. A prime example is Robert Lewandowski, many of us see him as one of the greatest strikers in football history and rightfully so as his track record for club and country speak for itself, but by his standards, it's a down year for him. I agree that it makes sense to slander him because he's not playing well, he isn't scoring a lot, it seems like age has caught up with him, underperformed his expected goals by a lot this season and he seems to blame other factors for his slump, like Xavi's tactics, teammates not passing him the ball enough and he also has one of the worst body languages I've ever seen from a player, his attitude isn't right, yet every time he has a bad performance, misses a lot of chances and Barcelona end up dropping points, we all blame Xavi for this.
A lot of people believe that in the striker position, he should be dropped to the bench, no matter how he plays, he'll keep starting, he scored in yesterday's game meaning that Xavi won't bench him for the next game. Overall, he doesn't fit the way this team plays and yes strikers are responsible for scoring goals, but playing on Barcelona requires you to be involved in the buildup play, and that's not how he plays and as a result of that, he can be a passenger in games, because when he's not scoring, he's not doing anything to help the team and he often has some loose touches and questionable passes. Recently, prior to this injury crisis that they're facing up top, Xavi was finally subbing him off when he didn't play well and at the start of the season, he basically had an unwritten rule for Lewandowski stating that no matter how bad he played, he was gonna start no matter what and regardless of performance, he was hardly even getting subbed off in his career and last season, Xavi would never do something like that and many of us believed he would be benched by now, but is still starting. He can start games, but he can't finish 90 minutes every game. Fans also want him sold to Saudi Arabia at the end of the season and I don't know what's gonna happen with Robert Lewandowski at Barcelona next season because his future at the club depends on who comes in as their next manager. At the time they signed him, he was the best striker in the world and last season he delivered with a lot of goals, at the time they brought him in he was 33 years old, he's 35 now and he was obviously a short term solution for Barcelona and you can see how much he's struggling and with him about to be 36 this summer, I don't expect him to be their first choice striker in the next 2 years and developing Victor Roque is important and giving Marc Guiu more chances because we know they won't sign Mbappe or Haaland, they also don't have the money to go out and buy guys like Victor Osimhen Ivan Toney Ollie Watkins Lautaro Martinez Alexander Isak etc, because Barcelona have to rely on the sources they have at their disposal. 10 goals in the champions league and La Liga, 14 goals in all competitions at this stage of a season, many of us feel like that this is one of his worst seasons in a long time and from September to November, his drought of 6 games without a goal was the longest goalless streak since 2010 which was 14 years ago and that tells you just how good he's been for a long time and how it hasn't happened for him this season for many reasons and I wonder what's gonna happen to him after this season.
I agree with all of everything you said except that the 9 needs to be involved in the build up. Every time ferran and vitor played up top this season we found very good chances at goal and that is no question because they are runners they are looking to expose the spaces in behind or in the final third while lewy has been dropping to deep and occupying spaces that others look for. All of our midfield starting three at the moment have the technical ability to the put the ball on a needle in behind (gundo, pedri, fdj) so not maximizing their talent has been affecting us. Lewandowski jus doesn’t fit the system and is aging ferran and vitor show youth through the middle
Those expected goals stat is nonsense.
I suggest you actually watch the games. Those expected goals are at best, half-chances.
This is not entirely Lewandowski's fault.
I strongly believe that lewandowski has it in him still but i believe there are two problems, one barca fans killed him after a few matches and this started at the start of 2023 when he came back from the world cup. The other is even though barca create a lot of chances they aren't really concrete. Barca wingers shoot crosses but most of the time they never go to a single player. They cross without ever raising their head to see where the striker is. I see lewandowski match after match making runs and never gets the ball. You want a striker to do well work with his runs don't just kick the ball and hope he gets there.
Had 19 goals this season. Had 23 last season. He isn't the problem
Lewa just needs time and space to deliver. Right now, Xavi needs to start Vitor Roque to take some pressure off Lewa.
Maybe Barcelona doesnt have the same mediacal facilities or expertise which he had at Bayern that's why there is a drop in his physical performance
18 goals. Casual..
I think everybody expected him to be 2018-2020 Lewandoski, but he’s like 34 now. Messi and Ronaldo and a few others have tricked us into thinking it was normal for players at 33-37 to be playing a pretty good level.
Unfortunately most players at 30-35 slow down tremendously. This is a normal decline for a top player. Maybe it shouldn’t be this rapid considering his skill set wasn’t or isn’t based off of athleticism and speed. But I think more people should understand it’s very hard for players to be like modric, Messi, or Ronaldo at 35. Winning the World Cup, getting to Ucl finals etc. that is abnormal, it’s not regular.
But yeah, I think it was expected for him to be Bayern Lewandoski, since his skills aren’t based off of speed and athleticism. And it’s crazy how steep his decline is.
i think playing roque instead of him for a few games will motivate him to push harder
Meanwhile xavi refuses to play vitor roque
Xavi made him brathwaite
One season changes alot, we have seen C Ronaldo bagged 20+ goals in his second spell at United and fall off the next season
Seriously
What going on with Barcelona and making OP player suck when join in?
Philipe Coutinho (the one that lead the downfall), Antonie Greezman, Dembele, Depay, Sergio Aguero, and then Lewandowski

Can't believe he's the same person who made 5 goals in 9 minutes
Watch now.
Lewa looks like his picking up from especially after victor roque delivering recently
Way different team plus hes aging... like any of us.
He had his peak, thats whats important.
No need for drama.
Crazy how easy he gets down now. In Bundesliga he was always seen as this athletic strong stud.
In Bundesliga there's more space given than almost any other league, in La Liga there's always a personal mark, and defenders have had almost 20 years of trying to adapt to locking the space Messi creates, La Liga is a bad matchup for Lewandowski once they figured him out after his first season
In bayern he had a team behind him who believed in him. Barca players don’t believe in him.
@@MaxpowerAF7it not bad match and don't let this video full you he was very hard to get off the ball
HES FUCKING 35 LAT SZMATO
cause he's lost a lot muscle, got old + diving and falling easily is a part playstyle in La Liga
More like a fluke, not flop
I agree with you and to me nowadays Roque is the best option to start along lewa, ferran is valid but he needs to move more and I don't really rely on Felix starting bc without ball he's not consistent pressing as even Fermin in the LW
I don't think it's age that's is problem.Hes downgraded a lot on finishing,ball control, positioning and other factors for a striker.Sometimes he needs service,but obviously getting it from wingers like raphinha,Ferran and joao felix won't always deliver.I think it's just a drop in form and I still do think he can perform better again despite his age.Hes not like Suarez,unlike him lewa needs service to deliver (like haaland).What made Suarez better than lewa is that Suarez could do everything even after ageing.Suarez was still able to score by himself dribbling through defenders or even assist others.But lewa,he's just not like him.I believe he can comeback
Suarez was finished post 2019 don't lie to yourself I've seen him missing the easiest tapins from Messis passes
@@zamasublack7024 that's cus he had health problems with his leg and he was fat.Lewa doesn't have any problems yet he fails to deliver
@@KingCroceditz10 I mean he was still Missing loads of easy chances in 2017 but the number increased dramatically in 2019 and I don't understand how leg problems make you miss an easy tapin
@@zamasublack7024by your logic mbappe saurez and haaland are bad because they miss loads of chancse?😮
@@zamasublack7024he scored 54 in 2020, scored 57 in 2021, scored 69 goals in 2022, which is the 3 highest goal in a calendar year for any player in top 5 league in Europe of all time and his also the highest goal scorer since 2017 till date but according to you he as being finished since 2019😂
no one talks about this but lewandowski at bayern was fed balls for tap in, at barca that is simply not possible
buying roque to play him out of position for a player who isn’t going to be part of our position is just a stupid idea
He scores goals if you create one touch shooting chances. Barca don't have that type of creativity like citeh do with bernado, de bruyne and grealish. On the otherside bayern have sane, musiala that create one touch shooting chances for kane. Barca have a leeds reject on there right wing. Htafc fan so unbias at all here.
The problem is the fanbase. Xavi is someone who loves the clubs and fans
The fans want Xavi to bench lewa but when Lewa somehow scores they want him to start bec were starting to many youngsters😭. Last season was suppose to be a rebuild season and we won la liga and copa. So let Xavi rebuild this season ffs
Barcelona don’t have the designer drugs like Bayern Munich anymore back in the day Spanish football had the best doctors.
Bayern really had the best timing in selling him
Even though roque has elite movement and is a natural space finder there is no way he and lewandowski can both operate centrally. Felix would be a much better option as he provides much better linkup and finds similar spaces to roque. the only problem is playing felix with only two natural midfielders can’t work since we don’t have a world class cdm and that is one of the reasons why debruyne dominated towards the end of last season with halaand when he played as second striker instead of wide 8. Rodri took pressure off the midfield defensively while also setting tempo. ( gundo is a 8 not a 6 so everyone knows)
much better than TalkFCB
Indeed. That guy is good att screaming. Like a street-vedor in Istanbul.
@@quality6823 And says a whole lot of nothing
It is the nature that age effects abilities he is not the same anymore 💔
If a player can not perform they should not be starter player and xavi didn't do that . Midfielders are creating chances and he keeps wasting them
Lewa's bad performance and stegen's injury was what made xavi's tactics so bad and not working
Playing vitor is xavi's only option
And we as fans we must be patient with those youngsters
Unfortunately we don't have good finances
HAHA u actually noticed the fouls he's receiving. I was going to dislike ur video because of the clickbaity thumbnail, but then u proved to me that u actually watch the games and have a very educated opinion. so i had to give u a thumbs up instead.
Mate we gotta talk about almost everyone on the barca squad
Morata this season has been phenomenal. I would love to see you make a video on him
i watch his game very closely. He had a stretch of few bad games but most of the criticism is way overboard. He's strugling when he's not getting the ball, than he gets frustrated, gets out of position starts forcing things. After watching Bayern for many years I'm shocked how many times in barca he's open in perfect position to score but he never gets the ball. Second thing is this Barca style . Slow build up and lack of good crosses in the box. I don't remeber a good in first tempo. Frankie is scared to make any risky pass, Yamal is mostly interested in dribling and shooting. Barca needs a strong coach to sort this team out
You cant really blame the other players for Lewas mediocre performance... sure Barca isnt the same as Bayern but Lewa was able to score last season. He just isn't putting the effort to get to the ball. You said it yourself, he isnt able to cross 31km/h, which is ridiculously slow for a striker
Robby you’re a GOAT and I’d love for you to collab with TalkFCB one day.
Btw the clip of Craig Burley in the beginning still has me creasing 😂
I want to see front three of vitor, ferran & raphinia(yamal as sub cause his age and protecting him from injuries)
It could be because he thinks he might not get paid 😂💀
Lewa is in the game for such a long time he should be leading the front line not Xavi
Telling what to to do to create more goals to Yamal felix and raphinha should be his job description
The answer is so simple… it’s his Age… I can’t get people that don’t understand that 😂
Nah this video wasn't it. Way to harsh - sure he's not HIM anymore but he's not as bad as people make him out to be. He's still out top scorer and the performances got better over the last few games. He just needs to regain confidence and the competition from roque will help
It’s not complicated. Do yall remember Suarez at this age? Absolute garbage. Players get old. The bigger question is why does he start over Guiu or Roque consistently
He still got back issues imo, couldnt find any time to rest either
Guys leave lewa alone.... give him some space
Please lewa come back 😢😭😭
Also that he just isnt good at all off the ball, like he will ask for a long ball from frenkie and pedri all the time and either lose the ball after the first touch or throw his arms in frustration when they dont pass to him. He is walking most of the time and isnt aware of spaces that he should run or for places he should make up for when midefielders like pedri and gundo try to cover his area.
he is too focused on the ball i think, cant be sure but it definetely looks like that, too passive when he needs to run in space and too active when team doesnt need to run, he watches the ball , not the game
i honestly don't know wth you are talking abuot
Is it weird that the best Lewandowski in eFootball (for me) is slowing down too, it could be me or my lewandowski idk
This aged poorly, Lewandowski is a cracked now
Dude is getting old in football years. We all feared this would happen because of his advancing age. We are already hearing talk that the club wants to keep Lewy for next season. Hmmmm. Lets see how Lewy and the team does at the end of the season.
eat your words :) Always so reactionary
Do you know that Kevin Durant movie called Thunderstruck? Yeah...
You are just wonderfuly enthusiastic in what you're doing. Respect

No Thomas Müller .. no Lewandowski 👎🏻😂
Barcelona sucks. La Liga sucks.
It's not just Lewandowski. Mario Gomez and Mandzukic all disappeared into oblivion once they left Bayern.
He was a great player already in Borussia, winning the Torjägerkanone, he is Poland's most prolific goal-scorer of all time by far, and also, lets not forget, he won the Pichichi last year, at 36. That's not exactly disappearing into oblivion outside of Bayern, is it?
