You're making things up now. I clearly didn't say that I find your dismissive attitude a little pathetic. The concept of a striker being a fantastic finisher, but a poor footballer in general isn't as asinine as you make it seem. For example. As fantastic a striker as Inzagi was I don't think...

Wow, you found exceptions to what I said. I never said it was impossible to win with an old-fashioned center-forward. Lewandowski is quite a well-rounded striker. Definitely isn't a poacher. The difference between Bayern with him up front and Mandzukic is quite substantial though, and I think it...

I think a team that plays Dybala upfront would score more goals than a team that plays Icardi upfront, even though Icardi would score more goals than Dybala Someone just mentioned Toni's success too. Put him in Juventus lineup instead of Tevez last season and Juve will score significantly...

Me? No, just making an example. Probably a superior finisher to Mandzukic, but a player who similarly suffers from his inability around the park. Gomez before his injury comes to mind too. I think poachers have a place. Just not in the starting lineup.

No, its not about defending. It's about having the ability to link up play. Icardi has the same problem at Inter. Great finisher, bad footballer.

Dump Mandzukic from the starting lineup. Poachers are a thing of the past. Some people think all a striker has to do is score goals, but I truly believe forwards need to be more complete in this day and age.
