Alexandre Lacazette: Laca the Net

[krackpot]

he rocked me with that goal!

He would be a much better guy to have on the pitch.

Ffs

huh?

I don' think many people do realize what a striker he is. He scores from the most impossible angles/positions. I haven't seen any of strikers in PL having that ability.

P.S. It was good from the arsenal fans to welcome Giroud at Emirates as well, since I am here writing of strikers.

I am, he has a lot of technical ability, control and he uses hi body so well... but Agüero does it as well, He can do that.

 

[yorch44]

Today he showed what he can do, and more importantly he and Auba showed they can play as a 2, both could easily have scored but I forgive Auba because his defensive game was great. I recently said I wouldn't be surprised if Laca was sold in the summer but if he plays as a 2 there is very little chance of that happening. Keep it up Laca & Auba, and also Emery keep it up, this is what we need.

If Laca is sold in summer by Emery I will stop supporting and watching Arsenal until a new manager arrives.

 

[Giroud12]

Has steadily progressed and is now a world class, complete striker. Criminally underrated by many on here, people want him sold ffs!

 

[RacingPhoton]

Can't understand how Ferdinand and Jenas said Kepa should've done better, it's past him before he can think;


Reminded me a bit of his goal against Cardiff;

He's got the ability to strike through the back of the ball with both power and accuracy. He's a deadly finisher.

Honestly, over the moon with him and Auba as striking options. No other team in the top 6 have options like it, Citeh included.

That ball is traveling fast in a slow-motion video. I don't think anyone would want to stand on its way.

 

[kraphtous]

We should be thankful that we have two world class strikers instead of constantly nitpicking their weaknesses and ***** about which ever you think is better.

Not that long ago we had Giroud and Sanogo as our striker options.

 

[WilshereGone]

Slyly one of the goals of the season. The touch, speed of thought and balance needed to score that goal is absolutely ridiculous, and that's before you even get on to the finish.

Auba will get you goals more consistently throughout the season, but it's this guy I feel myself expecting something from in big moments in big games. They compliment each other.

Yep; lowkey our best player imho, but you can't say that too loud in certain parts lol.

 

[krengon]

He needs to be more consistent to be called world class..

 

[Fewtch]

huh?

?
That’s his agent

 

[celestis]

?
That’s his agent

Yeah sorry not directed at you , just confused by his agencies quote .

 

[Giroud12]

He is. Hardly ever has a poor game. The main difference between him and Auba is that if Auba doesn´t score, he´s often poor (not yesterday). If Auba doesn´t score he´ll still have a great performance.

Lacazette you mean?

I agree though. Laca is a great all-round player.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

He's doing ok after being a bit off when he joined due to injury. We should be looking to sign a WC player to improve us before setting ourselves back by selling him. He's effective and helps us perform even when not scoring. He could be more clinical but getting hooked constantly doesn't help. The only excuse for that is if Emery is going ott to protect him from injury.

 

[tap-in]

If Laca is sold in summer by Emery I will stop supporting and watching Arsenal until a new manager arrives.

If he is played in a front 2 then I dont see why we would sell him. If Auba is played on the wing to accomodate Laca, then I could see him being sold and a pacey winger purchased with the money. Hopefully Emery will play with a front 2 and invest in a top winger or 2.

 

[Giroud12]

Yeah, meant Laca

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

I think his dribbling is underrated. When he picks the ball up on the flank, he has this way of both protecting the ball and driving with it.

He’s also a decent crosser. He’s a very well rounded striker. Just needs more goals- hopefully that screamer against Chelski will set him off on a little run.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

He's so frustrating because you see goals like the one he score vs Chelsea and you just think if his movement was as good as Aubameyangs, if he had a bit more consistency then he'd be one of the top strikers in the world. For me he just lacks a few things. He always seems to be lagging behind, his movement isn't that great, not for a goal-scorer anyways and there's just times when he lets his head drop. In terms of his close control ball retention in a tight space and finishing he's absolutely top quality.
