Terrible hot takes
Wonder if he is carrying an injury again?
He did have a dip in form before, got the operation and rebounded...

His first season under Wenger he was carrying an ankle injury that wasn’t revealed until the summer. Wenger was substituting him a lot.Wonder if he is carrying an injury again?

Man.....Ffs. So much nonsense being spouted about Laca that even sensible posters like you are now being sucked into it. He got 32 goals and assists last season, which is way more than “just about enough”: in was one of the most productive seasons of the Emirates era. I’ve dealt with it in more detail here.
And yes, he struggled away from home in the league (so did the entire team FYI) but those were not doss goals he was involved with. He put in massive performances against Napoli and Valencia in Europe, and had a knack for scoring important goals in the league:
I’m as frustrated as anyone with his lack of productivity this season, but let’s not re-write the past.
Isn’t he?he’s simply not the mug some of you try to make him out to be.

It’s not scapegoating if you actually deserve the criticism.I called it 18 months ago that he'd be the next Scapegoat.

He deserves criticism and he's been way off the pace this season, but lets not pretend he's the biggest problem in the team.
There are least 3 or 4 experienced first team players who have been underperforming for years who should be gone first before we even consider selling Laca.
I’m not saying he’s exempt or even has to stay. He might not be for us anymore but doesn’t mean he’s a mug or can’t rediscover form.
It’s either player x is worldclass or player x is sh*t get him out ASAP he’s ruining the whole club, there’s no middle ground or perspective with a lot of members here.
Hear, hear!He deserves criticism and he's been way off the pace this season, but lets not pretend he's the biggest problem in the team.

Özil is a problem, but since Arteta arrived the improvement in Xhaka and Mustafi especially has been incredible, Mustafi has looked better than all our CB options, bar Luiz and Pablo Mari (jury's still out on him) Leno granted has made a couple of mistakes, but he's still been our most important player this season, after Auba.He is the biggest problem in the team. He, Xhaka, Mustafi and Özil. Leno too but people are not ready to hear that yet.
Underperforming for years is the key thing here.He deserves criticism and he's been way off the pace this season, but lets not pretend he's the biggest problem in the team.

What happens if you keep a player long enough for them to underperform for years? You won’t be able to sell them because nobody wants them. Look at our struggles with Mustafi.
Lacazette’s market value is considerably higher than his value on the pitch to us. The longer we let him underperform the closer those two values get. Let’s not forget his contract expires soon as well.
I’m not saying we should sell him right now but if things don’t improve by summer (unless it turns out that he’s been carrying an injury) then we definitely should. He’s the most valuable of the players currently bumming it out for us.
You don’t prioritise selling based on who’s been poor for longest, you have to look at who is the most valuable asset. The kind of thinking you’re advocating is what has us in this mess in the first place.
