Lucas Pérez: Is he back again?

[Rimaal]

I predict that he will smile when he scores his first PL goal.

 

[Trilly]

Thought he looked a little sluggish while running.

Is he generally not the fast or down to match fitness?

At least we have suitable competition/replacement for Walcott.

Yh I wouldn't call him fast tbh. Quick enough to get in behind with well timed runs but not fast.

He's no Arjen Robben, but then again, we didn't pay 50 million for him.

 

[Hunta]

Aspas done good.

 

[razörist]

We've been here before, Lucas isn't fast but he has good enough pace not to handicap us, he has good timing and awesome workrate and strenght. I feel like its a good combination and something different from what we had.

Fatspas done good.

FYP.

You automatically get an avi??

Well mine has been known to change automatically but this time I changed it myself.

Only noticed when it was mentioned...don't remember putting a Koscienly pic as my avi

Put him in the first team and he'll score or assist. We need more productivity from our wide players so I'd start him from now on. Happier with him out wide than up front which I still think he was originally bought for.

Rather someone with half the pace of Theo who can actually do winger stuff. No problems with Lucas' speed.

We have pace in abundance. Theo, Welbeck, Bellerin and Ox are easily in the top 10 fastest players in the league.

Along with Sterling, Mane, Valencia, Traore and maybe Hazard.

Did you see Theo yesterday? He felt Lucas' cold breath in his neck. I swear, when he came on, I saw so much urgency in his play. Blistering pace, and even a dribble or two. This squad depth thing looks to be working!

Was the first time I'd seen him dribble in years.

Depends on the distance being travelled. if you want someone quick off the mark in a danger situation Alexis or Aguero are super quick.

Kyle Walker, Jamie Vardy, Anthony martial and Marcus Rashford are also very quick.

 

[pigge]

He's been excellent so far. Walcott being "out of form" suddenly makes a case for Lucas to start ahead of him.

Ox(iwobi/walcott) - Sanchez - Lucas Is quite a good front 3. All can score but more importantly all are quite good at passing.

 

[Taxi Driver]

He should start today, that should give him some confidence and make Theo more motivated to claim the starting spot again. Either way, we benefit.

 

[truth_hurts]

Perez really should start after a hatrick. Ox or Theo on the opposite side.

Lucas will definitely start this game or the Everton game. I don't think he has the fitness yet to start both, but it makes sense in general for Wenger to put out two very different starting line ups in those 2 games.

I'd prefer it if Lucas starts the Stoke game, then he can recover fully for Man City and it could be a close call between all 4 wide options for that game.

 

[Rimaal]

I hope he gets a start today.
