Re: Edin Dzeko
You could put it like that, but you'd be wrong.
I said Lewandowski is a better footballer than Dzeko when it comes to passing, movement, control, pace etc. That doesn't make you marginally better, or slightly better, it makes you better by a decent amount. By a noticeable amount.
On the goal scoring front Dzeko is indeed better, but not by a huge margin, by a fairly narrow margin.
If Lewandowski was a better goalscorer, but Dzeko was quicker and had better passing I have no doubt you'd come to the conclusion that goals are overrated and it's overall play that's better, and still come to the conclusion that Dzeko > Lewandowski. As such there really is no point in discussing these things with you.

It's like I'm banging my head into a brick wall with this thread, it really is. I don't know how many times I can say that, despite goals being the most important thing you want from a striker, they aren't the only thing that you want from them.
Lets just say I agree with your stats, what you're saying is that it takes Lewandowski and extra 15 minutes to score a goal that Dzeko. That's not a huge difference if we're being honest. Does that difference equate to being more or less important than Lewandowski's other skills, skills that he possesses that Dzeko does not?
Dzeko is, possibly, a marginally better goalscorer than Lewandowski, not a huge differenece, but a slight one.
Lewandowski is a better footballer than Dzeko, when it comes to all aspects of his game, passing, movement, control, pace etc.
Or you can put it like this:
Lewandowski is, possibly, a marginally better overall player than Dzeko, not a huge difference, but a slight one.
Dzeko is better than Lewandowski, when it comes to scoring goals.
Since the goals are the most important thing you want from a striker than Dzeko > Lewandowski
