I think I saw some statistic not too long ago that showed that Godmez actually is less wasteful with his chances than Messi, Ronaldo and about every other of the top goalscorers.

Let's take the transfermarkt.de stats from last season, there you had at least the minutes per goal ratio, and that was:

Gomez: 86 minutes per goal
CRonaldo: 89 min/goal
Messi: 98 min/goal
Van Persie: 112 min/goal
Robben: 115 min/goal (wow, that actually surprised me)
Eto'o: 125 min/goal
Tevez: 159 min/goal
Villa: 169 min/goal
Dzeko: 184 min/goal
Rooney: 215 min/goal

(BTW, this season I'd be afraid of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. Very afraid: 50 min/goal)

Second... Benzema with 29 goals on 118 shots... 24.6%

Eto'o... 38 on 163... 23.3%

Aguero... 29 on 135... 21.5%

Messi... 51 goals on 255... 20%

Van Persie scored 27 goals in 143 shots.... 18.9%

Tevez... 27 on 160... 16.9%

Cavani... 27 on 137... 19.7%

Ibra... 24 on 140... 17.1%

The worse in this category:
Ronaldo... 56 on 358... 15.6%
Villa... 34 on 231... 14.7%
Rooney.... 17 on 169... 10.0%

Bayern Munich striker Nils Petersen claims he was unaware of how good Mario Gomez was until he joined the Germany international at the Bavarian giants in the summer.

Petersen signed for Jupp Heynckes' side in May, after scoring an impressive 25 goals in 33 appearances for 2. Bundesliga club Energie Cottbus last term.

The 22-year-old, who scored his debut goal for the German giants in the 7-0 annihilation of Freiburg over the weekend, praised fellow forward Gomez who scored four goals in the game.

"Previously, I had only seen him [Mario Gomez] on the television. On TV, you always think, I could do that but on the very first day [of training], I saw how strong he is. He is a great striker," Petersen exclusively told Goal.com.

"He works hard and also helps out defensively which is great. It will be tough to get past him [and into the team]. But if he keeps it up, he has deserved it."

The young striker also spoke of grabbing his first goal for the club while stating he is looking to get as much playing time as he can for Bayern.

"I just want to use my minutes [on the pitch] like I did against Freiburg. Maybe next time I will get a few more minutes. It is difficult though as Mario [Gomez] will not always be substituted," he added.

"We will also have to see how Mario handles me given minutes on the pitch. After the four goals it was probably a lot easier for him. I just want to show the coach that I'm always good for a goal."

Petersen has been included in the Bayern Munich squad who travel to Villarreal for Wednesday's Champions League encounter.

"In principle, of course, it is difficult to compare the three as [Lionel] Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo are individualists who often do things alone and sometimes play off two or three players," Hitzfeld told TZ.

"However, Gomez is more the executioner but he is world-class. In his category, as top scorer, he need not be fearful of any comparison.

"He is obviously extremely important for Bayern and you could say that Gomez for Bayern is as important as Messi is for Barcelona.

"He not only scores goals, but works for the team, plays a very good pressing game and wins back the ball. He learned this from [Bayern Munich coach] Jupp Heynckes. He has developed incredibly well under him. And you can see how important it is for him that he gets total trust from the coach."
