Alexandre Lacazette: 2019/20 Performances

[hydrofluoric acid]

No need my man...save these posts for the morning.. tonight we celebrate

Also, if you genuinely feel like he did nothing today than i am not quite sure we are watching the same sport..

I was sober since 4th August.

Unless an unreal offer comes in, we should do everything we can to keep him and Auba for next season. The frontline is fine. We need to save what little powder we have for our midfield and defence instead.

He doesn’t score enough, but Auba has the goals covered, and Laca does so much else right up front. It’s clear Arteta loves him, and for good reason. He’s a great CF.

Spot on.

I don’t get why everybody doesn’t see this. Just about got double digits in the league he defo needs to score just a bit more for sure.

 

[Football Manager]

Improving his build up game is enough.
Make himself better at controlling at tight space. Improve dribbling to dribble past players for fun. Improve short passing to learn those iniesta through pass. Drop deeper to combine with the midfield.

To create more overload/possession/chances as a team. So that our team is getting into goal scoring area more often. And our team will score lots more goals.

How many did these both had? :rofl:

Probably on their second drink there. These guys probably barely touch anything during the season (just whippets)

True that.
The way we play Laca, it is natural that he doesn't have the numbers like Auba. If Pepe could add more goals from the other side, our front line would be perfect.

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Worked his socks off today (as usual). He really puts in a shift. I really thought he would bag a couple today but with a win in a FA Cup final I will not complain. Well done Laca!

Laca carries the piano for Auba to get the space in the box and play his tunes.
If we'd have a faster playmaker who can dribble and set up players, Laca would be more in the opposition's half doing what he's supposed to do.
Right now his work goes unnoticed because he's mostly playing like a box to box midfielder that likes to go forward.

It would be nice to finally get someone behind him to provide the chances needed to score, because he's been quite mismanaged since he arrived.

Done the bare minimum but that's what you expect, we shouldn't give him a new contract but he should stick around until we fix our defence and midfield. Still did a good enough job today!

 

[tap-in]

I still think Laca is a player that we can sell for fairly decent price, or swap. Yes he's been better recently but so many players we are stuck with either due to high wages, poor quality, or both. Laca is sellable, desirable and affordable. If it got us Partey and left us with money for a CB and AM I'd be happy.

 

[Macho]

I’m very reluctant to break that trio up unnecessarily myself.

 

[kofigunner]

Torn on this one. If we want to get back into top 4, our points output has to be much much better. I don’t know if we can fix all our defensive problems in one season. Which then means it can’t be Auba and nobody else. We need our other forwards to score reasonably frequently to turn some of those draws into wins.

I'm going to bookmark this post, because it's the closest thing to a compliment I've seen from you.

That would mean Eddie takes his place and plays if Auba gets injured.

 

[kofigunner]

That’s the scary thought. Neither Laca nor Eddie are likely to score regularly. I suspect Martinelli would probably pop in among the goals more often. Having said all that, I’m sure Arteta is aware of this and will be thinking about how to increase Laca’s output. Alternatively Pepe will become that consistent goal threat we need him to be.

 

[Stephen Wright]

Sell Sell Sell
We have Nketiah, no point having g 2 CF that can’t score goals

 

[KrissKringle]

Laca would score regularly if we'd actually play him right. You don't go from POTY to dross in one season.
It has to do with the personnel that we went with in the season, which has been abysmal. Selling Rambo and loaning Micki were unforgettable mistakes that the management made.
A tireless box to box midfielder and an offensive one would free Laca of his defensive duties and he'd be more in the box. It's that simple.

 

[tap-in]

Well currently Nketiah takes Laca's place when Laca is injured or out of form anyway. I know Martinelli will be a while but as I said, Laca is the only player we can afford to lose who we can get money, and is sellable.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Laca is more partial to nitrous oxide balloons anyway. Allegedly.

Whippets is another name for that.

You should probably rethink that. Both of those guys are inexperienced and would never put in a shift like Laca.
We really can't afford to lose our main attacking players. We have to reinforce the defense and midfield and everything will be fine.
