Maybe
You're wrong, no?
His technique is excellent, great first touch and ball control under pressure, quality shooting technique also. He can't dribble past players for sure but still very comfy on the ball. Would be waste of space on the wing for the second reason, but honestly, Mkhy and Özil would also fall into same category but still they played on the wings.

Terrible hot takes
But Auba lacks Lacas strengths in linkup/strenght
And Auba is still good if not better from the wing
Maybe
You're wrong, no?
Auba also lacks some basic skills for winger, but could be used in a way Pedro was used for Barcelona, just waiting on defenders shoulder. I would say he would score more than playing as CF if we can used him like that.

If our attack is going to improve, it has to involve Laca. He was very sharp when he came on and also in pre-season, I was very disappointed that he didn't start. I know some say its a waste to play Auba on the wing but this is a team game and to get the best from our team Laca has to play. Auba will score regardless of where he plays and the two mix it up well so will switch around during play. Mkhi wasn't great yesterday and should be sacrificed for Laca vs Chelsea.

Where are all the naysayers who said his link up play was sh!t? As soon as he came on we started linking better than we had the whole fecking game.

He is not bad at it. But come on, how can you compare him to someone ****.
Mark Tobias
Mr. Agreeable
I have no idea what you're on about. I didn't compare him to someone sh!t. I called out all of those who said his link up play was Sh!t...
What did you read?

The team is linking better when Laca is on. (Ramsey was off)
So of course it would be better.

This forum has gone to absolute sh*t recently.
Bunch of lunatics have taken it over!
Mark Tobias
Mr. Agreeable
Which is exactly what I said. Again, what are you on about?

Mr. Agreeable
Couldn't agree more. But I wouldn't say a bunch. More like one or two absolute buffoons who can't read and muddle every post to the tune of their horrible fanboy narratives.
Anyway..
I think, as I have stated a few times, that this lad is going to be immense for us. Possibly better than Auba. As soon as he came on we turned it up two gears and moved the ball better. His shot was uncharacteristically wayward but nonetheless one the the better opportunities we created all game. Love his movement and i think him and PEA are a lethal combo. Will say though that MO10 is struggling to pick him out at times which I find odd due to MO10's usually surreal view and Laca's very good runs.
Love the way Laca holds the ball as well. Haven;t seen a striker of his stature do this in a while for us.

I think he's trying to say that it's obvious (in his mind) that we would look better with laca in that role as he doesn't rate Ramsey. So basically agreeing with you while getting in a pop at Ramsey but doing so in a way that could easily be taking the wrong way (as it has).

Agreed. Tbh I'm more of a Laca fan now than I was when he joined. Last season he had injury issues but at the end and in pre-season he has looked so much better, he has to start vs Chelsea, even if it does mean Auba on the left. They are intelligent enough to mix it up anyway and have a great developing relationship.

Saw what happen. Hope our subs show more focus when they come on in the future.

I'm still upset with him for the 3rd goal. We were actually on the counter with half the Chelsea team in our defensive third and he passed the ball 30 yards back straight to them. After that, he casually jogs back and barely attempts to tackle or even foul Hazard.
Right now our attacking players are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

He's protesting Emery for not starting him. **** move tbf
i don't know what he was thinking with that back pass he was under no pressure to panic like this. and that half hearted attempt to stop Hazard i know you not defender but come on man.
Still i want him to start with Auba they will perform better together

It was a bad backpass and he also failed to track Hazard properly and then so did Bellerin, and then Torreira failed to track Alonso and the shot went straight through Cech so it's all relative I suppose, there was plenty of opportunities for someone else to stick a foot in before that goal went in.
Let's not start making out it was his fault we lost the game please. The real culprits in all of this were Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan for spooning absolute sitters. Those chances were harder to miss than they were to score. They put them in and the game is done and dusted.
Ironically I think Lacazette would have scored both of those chances

It was a really odd bit of play. If there is even a hint of truth in what you say (which I dont believe personally) then wouldn't be surprised if he got dropped from the squad altogether.
Like to think it was a genuine mistake and we are all over analysing it a bit.
