We have seen before that Muller, Robben, Ribery, Gotze all have similar amount of scoring chances as Lewa.
Peps attacking tactics is about finding space..he said that himself. And not only for a striker but for any attacking player who has a chance of using that space and scoring. So it doesnt matter if we had Falcao, Diego Costa on our team..what matters the most is that he can play multiple positions up front and that is not the case with those two.
We have seen that against Shakhtar...Pep left Lewa out on the bench because he felt the tactics he employed against the opponent does not need his set of skills.
So about that plan B you said we need...plan B is to play without a classic number 9.

Lewandowski is more of an all-rounder. His all-round skills are better than Gomez and Mandzukic.
Mandzukic is the best fighter, but despite him winning some battles in tackling, Lewandowski still assists more, because as you say he's able to drift into the winger position sometimes and allow the other offensive players to move into the striker position.
Gomez is just more prolific than the others. It'd be nice to also have someone with his poaching skills as a plan B along with Lewandowski.
In our tactics, Lewandowski suits us best I'd say. Dieter Hoeness and Effenberg seem to agree as well.
But we do need a plan B. Sometimes, Lewandowski will fall short. It's infallible. This is not a striker problem but a personnel problem. We're quick to point fingers at Lewandowski but he's the only proper real striker (I'm not counting the old and oft-injured Pizarro here) in the squad. When he fails, or the opposition doesn't suit him, he often has to keep on playing.
This wasn't the case in 2012/13. When Gomez was playing badly, or the tactics of the opponents wouldn't allow him to play to his strengths, Heynckes played Mandzukic. And vice versa. Pep doesn't have this luxury in the striking department, so Lewandowski plays, sucks, and looks bad as a result.

I think it would good if Lewa requested shirt #99 or whatever, then we would avoid misunderstandings in our discussion. Problem if have striker or not would be gone.

OK I'm not a Bayern supporter then, because I'd rather win the Champions League 10x more than winning the Bundesliga. Maybe I should shut down the forum too...
