Alexandre Lacazette: Laca the Net

[tap-in]

Well I think he got player of the season because he done every thing you got to ask for striker yes he could have done with more goals.

So everything you ask of a striker apart from goals

Tbh I don't think there is any chance Barca are interested in him, there are far better options out there.

Aubameyang and Lacazette have done well to score as many as they have with such poor wide options and little creativity in midfield.

well 18 goals 12 assists for a center forward is impressive numbers if you ask me.

I agree, I'm just pointing out that you said he did everything asked of a striker but could have scored more goals. In other words he didn't do everything asked of a striker.

Tbh I'm one of the few who think a top goal scoring winger with Auba as CF would suit us better. Auba has managed to score 25 goals mainly playing from the wing, imagine what he could do as CF.

Big chances missed:

#1 Callum Wilson 21
#2 Auba 20

...
#9 Laca 13

That’s a lot of missed chances for a team playing with bum tactics.

Seriously though, don’t you think chance creation has been a problem this year?

 

[Tir Na Nog]

If we had some proper wingers Auba would be on 30 goals at least. It's actually quite incredible he's doing so well without proper wingers considering the type of striker he is. It's a testament to how hard he works to being there when the chances do fall.

Bournemouth have created as many big chances as us so bum tactics seem to work, but to consistenly dominate your oppositon? I doubt it.

Obviously. But the problem with those chances and Laca/Auba in terms of shots is that they are far too inconsistent.

For example Laca had 4 good chances against Valencia, and scored 2, but in the away game to come he'll possibly have no shots at all.

Neither can create something out of nowhere, that is a problem with the low shot count from them(the team overall as well) and the tactics applied.

 

[avalonhse]

Think he deserves it, but it says a lot about the rest really.

But but ... people keep saying to sell Laca for raising money, instead of the rest.

 

[alboots101]

Who would we buy if we sold him?
Imo, the Laca/Auba partnership is getting better and I for one look forward to next seasons challange.

Probably the worst stat in football tbh.

Top strikers always miss big chances. It’s getting the chances which is the difficult bit.

 

[GDeep™]

4 away goals this season and most to relegation teams.

People are calling him a " big game player " on his transfer thread, going off on one that we'd even consider selling him, like he's RVP or Henry level.

 

[Wrighty4eva]

Don't know why it would seem so unfathomable that barca would be interested in lacazette, the guys a class act, and there really aren't that many true great strikers that offers what he does.

 

[El Duderino]

The only one that tried today?

The only one that tried today?

Needed his magic to pay off today.

Didn't feel he was close to scoring a goal tbh but yes he tried some stuff and had a few cute dribbles.

 

[Camron]

The only one that tried today?

He'll get slammed on here by the usual who have already prepared their posts yesterday.

 

[Gooner416]

One of the only bright spots, he deserves better. Classy touches and dangerous crosses today only to be wasted.

 

[Ripe Banana]

Played well today and dispite Auba scoring more I think he's comfortably the better of the two.
