otf, not talking about his first few months where he'd play wherever he could to get gametime but when he had a few games up front. At that point he was in good form and was scoring some really good goals.
IG, I pretty much agree with your first paragraph. I was disagreeing with you when you said that there's been revisionism about his abilities, which I'm sure there isn't. Pretty much all everyone said was he had quality movement and his finishing was quality. You seem to agree with that so not sure which abilities of his there are that were being remembered wrong.
I'm not, however, sure that he wouldn't have worked out at point in a one man striker system. Granted we wouldn't be able to play the target man style we currently do but our whole style of play could have been different with a different style of forward.
Plus the only thing that Podolski and Eduardo have is that they're both good finishers. And even then not even the same type of finishing. One is more finesse whilst the other puts his foot through the ball. Podolski never had the movement that a forward should have. One likes ball to feet whilst the other likes to get on the end of things.
But yeah like I said, we never had a pre injury Eduardo to try out in a one striker system so I guess neither of will ever know.
