I'm more frustrated with his overall game. He doesn't have any skill to beat defenders 1 on 1, and it's usually pathetic effort from him every time somebody is marking him. He did score fair amount of tap-ins this season so statistics does look good for him, but I'm getting more frustrated every week with what he does on the pitch.He puts himself into great position in attack, and that sets him apart from many other players, but goodness is he frustrating when it comes to putting the chances away. Thankfully it hasn't cost us too much recently as far as I can recall, but when it does, I think we'll see some pitchforks.
That Tottenham pen still hurts.

I've said it a couple of times, he is too involved in build up process and doesn't have skills for that. His position should be only CF and let Laca roam around helping with build up and creating chances.

I agree that they are not capable to beat defenders with skills/make beautiful build up play/make beautiful assist like suarez, aguero, firmino or van persie.
They may be tactically limited players, but they are the best realistic targets we can get in recent years.
How many strikers are faster?His pace is good but not great if we're honest.
No one was talking about pace.Suarez and Aguero don't beat many people anymore. Firmino is just clever not rapid by any stretch of the imagination, he knows how to get a yard to get a shot or pass of in tight areas. Beyond Mbappe there isn't anyone who's a big dribbler with pace. Not anyone who's established anyway. Rashford maybe but he's still very inconsistent.

Just look at how beautiful it is when they beat their defenders.
You will never have this with auba or laca.
I don’t expect my strikers to have everything but this ‘trait’ is a must have. If not, then better be a defender or goalkeeper.The word you are looking for is guile
But it’s just one trait, it’s rare to get a striker who excels at everything. Ronaldo (Brazilian) is the closest I’ve seen in my lifetime.

He’s absolute **** off a shovel. He’s in the very top bracket when it comes to fast footballers. He has ‘great’ pace for sure.His pace is good but not great if we're honest.
He's fast for sure but I don't think I've seen him blow past anybody for Arsenal at least. Lacks power and a mean streak.He’s absolute **** off a shovel. He’s in the very top bracket when it comes to fast footballers. He has ‘great’ pace for sure.
