Alexandre Lacazette: 2019/20 Performances

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

When you see him take his goals the way he did vs. S’ton, you wonder why he can’t do that on a weekly basis.

He’s deadly inside the box. As good as he is when he drops deeper, we need him higher up the pitch. You always fancy him to finish when presented with a chance.

Lacazette is on thr verge of tears every game how does he deserve to be captain lmao. You guys will find anything to moan about.

He also fights to regain possession every time he's dispossessed. Something that's an alien concept to Aubameyang and Saka.

tbf, you said that when Jesus pumped out thousands of loaves, "the disciples set him up, easy work."

just sayin

This is the thing Lacazette get so much praise for doing the minimum, it’s why it’s annoying. You’re comparing him to Jesus wtf.

How does your brain transform a trap swivel and shot into the corner of the goal, all expertly completed while under pressure, into a “tap in”?

One goal he scored a deflection and the other banged it into an open goal lol see how bias makes you exaggerate the goals? At least stop being disingenuous with me.

He’s way better inside the box than when dropping deep, he looks poor and struggles when he’s made to play deeper. He’s an in the box striker.

Dear Lord (not you) I hope that's not what you got out my post. A Laca-Jesus analogy.

I'm going to assume you were being witty and sarcastic.

Hang on. First goal. Ball was sweetly delivered straight on to Aubas feet in the penalty box. He wasn’t wide. In fact, you couldn’t ask for your main striker to be in a better position. He had his chance and missed it. Laca sweetly spun and expertly dispatched the rebound.

What point are you making here? Auba has 50 goals in 78 games while at times being shifted wide. Lacazette has 40 in 103 while always playing as a ST. It's not comparable. Auba is the better goalscorer and should be prioritised.

What successful teams do you know that build their teams around accommodating a lesser player at the expense of a better player?

Dunno from where u acquired your numbers, but whoscored has Aubameyang at 56 goals and assists in 66 starts, whereas Lacazette has 50 in 72.

Don't see the need to prioritise one over the other, as the team seems incapable of creating chances for either/both. Futile argument if anything.

I can’t think of one good thing he did today?
Auba isn’t my favourite style of striker ever but at he scores goals and has contributed to the season. Lacazette has done **** all to warrant a guaranteed place.
His away record is shambolic as well

He plays lots of games like today.

 

[Riou]

Doesn’t matter if he played well or not, ****ing fuming at that early miss!

Convinced we would have won today if we took the lead in that first half, needs to be benched next game!

Cost Freddie a debut win imo

 

[bojed]

Sell.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

He plays lots of games like today.

Almost every game he plays like this. Then on occasion he has games where he manage goal or goals like last weekend against Southampton, even if he was below average there. And you are all like 'good lets hope he kicks on next game' but meh...

 

[MutableEarth]

He cannot play with Auba. I hope they will stop forcing it now. Gotta be one or the other.

I was trying to be diplomatic but yes Lacazette plays 99% of his game like today, just a generally poor player. Biggest waste of money transfer, but Pepe looks like he's gonna take that mantle.

 

[mpower2540]

My faith in the long term vision of this club rests on whether we offer this guy a new deal. We need to start making some very important decisions and selling this guy is a big one that would be high up the list. We’re truly run by idiots if we give it to him.

He’s a bang average striker, terrible today yet he has a big reputation which maximises his value TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY. I’d also be seriously considering selling Auba in the summer while his value is high. We’ve wasted Auba while he’s been here but he’s getting older and I don’t see the point in giving him a huge wage increase if we can get a lot of money for him. BLOW THIS TEAM UP! It’s awful, truly awful.

Martinelli is the only one I’m actually excited about

 

[krengon]

I'm completely done with him now, hopefully we'll get a good offer for him soon..

 

[BigPoppaPump]

It really took most of you this long to realise Lacazette is rubbish, you lot should seriously question your football knowledge.

 

[Vibra]

I like Lacazette and I like Auba. They don't complement each other AT ALL. Why the **** are they still trying to make it work? Or am I the crazy one?

They're both poachers, neither of them take defenders on. When they start together we're at a disadvantage from the off

 

[TakeChillPill]

Laca doesn't have a CFs instinct and movement. his biggest asset is his hold up play.
