Alexandre Lacazette: Laca the Net

[hydrofluoric acid]

If I remember correctly, Laca's offside was a lot harder to call than this example. It was literally 3-4 inches of a boot?

Still offside though.

Of course its not fair others get away with scoring offside goal but we either believe the rule is good for the game and when it is offside 1cm or 1m we like the lines-man to call it a offside. There should be no favors. Otherwise we can just ditch the rule.

Umm... we should just ditch Özil instead.

That scowl. More passion in one picture than 50 games for Arsenal

Currently, Lacazette is 2.9 shots per 90.

That's not terrible, but still needs more IMO. He's doing other things right - trying to bring players into the game. Welbeck so far has gelled more with Laca because he's actually making good runs so far this season. Iwobi also seems to pick up really good areas aswell.

Just needs to bump it up to closer to 4 per 90 on average. With his accuracy, that will increase his goal tally. Just needs to be found more often. Xhaka's wasted quite a few of his runs and Ramsey's final ball oscillates between stunning and sterile. Giving it time, but so far I've been quietly impressed with Lacazette - but more shots please! Even with this stat he's managed 4 goals already.

Although it is expected that a newly arrived player needs time to adapt/assimilate in his new club, I think Lacazette needs to stop trying to impress in a grand scale at the moment, being new and all, and just do what he does best which is score. I have seen in the past matches so far that he is constantly trying to create a super play but generally fails, be it would be key passes or dribbles in front of the goal. He should just shoot and shoot like he did in France and the goals will follow, eventually he'll have enough chemistry with the other lads or better confidence and pull off most of the things he is currently having a go at

This is 100% offside mate. If you can't see it then I can't help you.

Then why do people act like Morata is so much better than Lacazette because he has more goals, when he gets decisions in his favour like that?

Bet you if we had some of the cricket tech it would have shown he was onside . There is now way a linesman could see that was off side .

I didn't rate Morata before but watching him at Chelsea he is for me the better player!

 

[Mark Tobias]

Can;t we wait until the end of the season to talk about this. Currently Morata edges him but this is football.

Lacazette is the unluckiest striker in the league:
Referees are against his offside goals!
Woodworks don't allow his to score goals!
Xhaka doesn't see his brilliant runs!
Wenger is against him playing full 90 minutes!
Stay strong, Alex, your lucky days will come!

 

[DanDare]

Yeah I do feel some players come to us and try too hard to play the Arsenal way rather than to their strengths

 

[tap-in]

He's our top scorer and he never gets to play a full 90 mins. That's pretty good in my opinion and if Wenger ever starts subbing players that are playing poorly then Lacazette should benefit. Sun for eg, he shouldn't have gone off.

That Stoke goal was 100% offside. Stop reaching.

Wasn't offside. They froze the frame after girouds touch. Look at the picture below, you'll find that Giroud is ahead of the ball. The biased c**ts should've froze the frame when the ball was level with Giroud's foot.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

I don't know I can't tell from that. It's history anyway. I think Laca could be good for us, let's wait and see.

No, we should be making a much bigger issue out of it than we are. Build it up as evidence that the refs always rule against us so that the next time there's a tough call to be made they rule in our favour. I mean Utd get at least 5 blatant decisions for them, every season. But still if you look at their fans, they're always crying about how the refs are out to get them. Wenger had the right idea when he called it out in the presser... as a fanbase we need to put some pressure on external agents instead of always directing it at the team/coach.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

I think we've had a few decisions going for us this season all ready.

and a cup win last season

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Regardless, we should've won that Stoke game. Pisses me off we didn't. Outplayed them and still lost 1-0. We'd be third if we had won that game.

You forgot "He's clearly better than Lukaku and Morata, even though he was United and Chelsea's third [at maximum] choice, and was had for a smaller fee!"
