EDIT: Also, there is no way Gomez should be dropped. He will start scoring again, the last 4-5 games have just been a phase where not only Gomez has been average, but the whole team. There is no way Olic could have scored as many goals as Gomez has this season, or last season, probably not even half. If the team can keep this form and playstyle up, Gomez will start firing up again as teams are forced to watch Robbery+Mueller even more closer, that's when Gomez is in his prime, picking up the crumbs.

Actually what I'd prefer is to keep solid on the back. Recently, our defence has been very good in not leaking in any goals. But you can't expect any team/player to score from every single chance on goal. Not even a Messi+Maradona+Pele+Gerd Mueller combined can do that. We need to keep the back solid, but we still need to create a number of chances and not just 1 or 2.
Both Olic and Petersen have looked pretty harmless whenever they played this season. Petersen hasn't played in a long while and today the match died once Gomez was brought off in favour of Olic. Olic plays with enthusiasm and good technical skills, but his positioning and sniff of the ball isn't anywhere close to Gomez's.
Rummenigge once famously said (not an exact quote): "A good striker is one who places himself in the position where the ball will be in the next minute".

Even one of the most prolific goal-scorers of all time, Gerd Mueller, who netted an astonishing 14 times in two World Cups, suffered from lean spells at his club Bayern Munich, during their most successful period in the mid 1970s.
Udo Lattek recalls: "Mueller had periods where he didnt score for seven games - or more. I've asked him always: 'What's up?' His reply? 'I'm thinking about how to net the ball in.' I always said to him: 'Don't think about it - just do it - just score.'"
Lattek's successor dealt differently with a Mueller mini-drought in the the 1975-76 season. Instead of telling him to stop thinking he tried to get him thinking positively once more.
"Cramer showed Mueller his most beautiful goals on video, to give him more self confidence in the penalty area," says Goal.com Germany's Francois Ducheteau.
"He named this 'visualisation' - and it helped, Mueller scored and scored and scored again after this and Bayern won the Europa Cup and World Cup for clubs."

Just because he goes on a 3-match scoring drought for the first time in 2 years, you cannot ask for the 3rd highest goalscoring footballer in Europe (during the last 5 years) to be benched.
Using your reasoning of using the minutes as a benchmark for the selection process, perhaps once Neuer lets in a goal, we should immediately sub him out and bench him for Butt, because he'd have gone 0 minutes since conceding a goal. Once Butt lets in a goal, then we sub him for Sattelmaier, and so on.

ronnie98 wrote:Yes IF neur concedes very stupid goals then he would get benched,same thing applies with gomez missing stupid goals and his only duty is to score.

We may be down to 10 men when he's doing absolutely nothing (as what would happen with another player), but even if he's not doing anything he's still pulling two defenders to mark him. So the opposing team is down to 9 men defending Bayern's 10 men. If Gomez wasn't pulling two, sometimes three, Basel defenders onto him, Ribery would not have had those early chances from which he did not manage to profit (due to outstanding saves from Sommer). He is a target man, and even if he is not scoring he is still important to the team because other players end up with more space.
MUTU wrote:Thankfully the Bayern board, Effenberg, Kahn, Mourinho and the others who praise Gomez don't agree with you. In contrast, they want to increase Gomez's contract.
MUTU wrote:Exactly how many clear chances did he have in the last 3 matches in which he did not score? I counted a singular one against Schalke (when he tried to dribble past Hildebrand), 0 against Basel (that angled shot with the keeper close and covering the angle was definitely NOT a clear chance), and I couldn't watch the Freiburg match but from what I read we didn't create too many opportunities either.
I know he's scored a lot this season and the past, but a lot of you are expecting too much from him. The guy scored 50 goals in 2011 (in all competitions). Do you watch only goal highlights and assume that other world class strikers never miss any chance? Because if they never missed chances they'd score some 150 goals a season at least, but nobody does that. And you can't expect Gomez to score from the 1 clear chance too. You can hope for that, but expect it?
Yes, Gomez had that 1 clear chance. But it still wasn't as clear as this chance that Messi lost less than a month ago:
