Where did all the good strikers go?

where did all the good strikers go?

Tiki-taka and the 4-2-3-1 killed the classic #9. Now every forward has to be a playmaker too.

Lewa, Suarez, Ibra, Aguero, Higuain, Aduriz, Mario Gomez, Gameiro, Diego Costa, Rubén Casto.

>mario gomez
>gameiro
>rubén casto
>aduriz

>these being even remotely on par with the rest of them

>Mario Gomez

>Mario Gomez

I'll tell you, the

>Le multipurpose falso-nueve added stopper playing for the team going all the way down to midfield to take the ball

concept killed the modern generation of strikers.

>Higuain, Aduriz, Mario Gomez, Gameiro, Diego Costa, Rubén Casto.

>good strikers

that's not Giroud/Milik/Pellè

He had a great season, too bad he plays in a shit league

Gomez is a great player, but definitely not Suarez tier

>tfw we killed old football,for the one of passing the ball mindlessly and making a goal at the minute 87.

>Mario Memez

>Giroud/Milik/Pellè

Well that's bc only a few strikers in football history are Suarez tier

But how many strikers actually do that? we don't see teams playing with technical players as strikers, what we see is teams playing with different type of strikers. Take Italy, our strikers are shit because they are shit, not because there is someone left at home for the sake of playing a falso nueve.

>implying they are not better than Lukaku/Morata/Cavani

>rating Morata

Have you been watching the Euros mate

>Milik

Feels like I am the only one on Sup Forums who has ever seen him play.

people are overrating players who they haven't even seen play, it's absolutely ridiculous
It's taking the "grass is greener on the other side" to a whole new level

Italy was never really known for killer first strikers like you consider a Batistuta, players able to take care of themselves no matter what, we always only had fox in the box-like strikers. For every "prima punta" there was a "seconda punta" pandering to them while scoring themselves. Now we are kinda blurring that line, you have to be a strong striker who can play as a winger but can also assist and be lethal in the box.

Basically, too much shit to work on except the thing that matters the most: fucking scoring.

muh false 9 or muh complete striker meme has killed the real strikers like Inzaghi, Trezeguet or VanNistelrooy.

You know what is the worst about watching Spain? You always expect a goal or a huge chance that never comes.
I ve stopped watching them because it feels like a ruined orgasm

Del Bosque ruined our fun football. In the Euro of 2008,Spain was unstopable and fun to watch. Del Bosque gave results,but turn our team into a boring thing.

If >we had a player like Vardy (who shoots each time he gets the ball), he would've scored 4 goals easily. But >we have Morata, and he needs at least 5" before he can shoot

>Implying that we didnt play like that with Villa,that was GOAT in the NT.
Del Bosque ruined our NT playstyle,not Morata

What is it with iberian players always needing to fill a form in triplicate before taking the fucking shot?

I think it's actually fits this composition of Italy.
Insigne, Zaza and in part Eder aren't made for being the buoy in the area. That's kind of the job of Pellé.

poop ruined soccer

benzema is pretty underrated

Actual good strikers:
>Suarez
>Lewandoski
>Ibrahimovic
>Slimani
>Aduriz
>Higuain.

These are the only ones u can call "Strikers" or "nº 9"They're big, they can make a diference in a big game and can carry a team against shitty oposition.

Aduriz is GOAT
Nolito is NOAT

Good strikers get criticized for not being complete players who can tiki taco the ball all over the pitch and then magically teleport to the 6 yard box to covert a goal

see: Mario Gomez

>ughhhhhhhhhhh my striker only score goals!!!!

>tiki taco

They are good, most of them... Tje problem is there is a GOAT still playing and he makes them look silly.

Lewandowski, Suarez, Morata etc are probably even better then your nostalgia strikers like Kluivert, Schevchenko etc

>Higuain

Jamie Vardy

le pacey cut inside winger meme kills them

>Lewandowski, Suarez, Morata etc are probably even better then your nostalgia strikers like Kluivert, Schevchenko etc

Shevchenko is a ballon d'or winner and one of the all time CL top scorers. Don't bring shitters like Morata up with these names. Suarez is the only current striker better than Sheva.
