David can’t brush his teeth but he’s out here making a case for Lacazette.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

I'm still not ready to give up on Laca.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Good thing I've been told Laca needs all but one goal for his old self to come back and he'll be the best striker since Henry.

Lacazette up top is tactical. Auba cannot hold the ball.

Neither can Laca, to be fair.

Lacazette up top is tactical. Auba cannot hold the ball.

Lacazette can't either ffs, and even worse he's unable to make any forward runs because he's feckin slow.

 

[GDeep™]

Cristiano Ronaldo Martenill dropping a 1/10 again.

 

[North5]

I'd take Giroud over Laca atm

 

[Taneruit]

Xhaka played well that half.

As said should have had an assist. I still can't comprehend how Auba missed two goals he would have made any other day.

 

[yorch44]

Özil is well, he has space but neither Xhaka or Douzy couldn’t find him with a pass. I would sub on Ceballos for Douzy and let him find Özil between lines. The two Burnley CM are high in the pitch pressing, so it can be exploited.

Lacazette up top is tactical. Auba cannot hold the ball.

Laca isn't doing a good job at it anyway. Needs to end.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Good thing I've been told Laca needs all but one goal for his old self to come back and he'll be the best striker since Henry.

I still don't get that argument.

Strange game. We aren't pushing Saka forward. We are not dropping Xhaka into a back 3, Lacazette can't hold the ball or get on the end of crosses and Özil is basically invisible. Even in space he isn't playing the throughball.

Saka is nursing an injury. He's hobbling in the tunnel. Laca is hopeless. Özil actually started well until all movement around him stopped. Torreira looks to be coming on for Saka.

If you read his posts about groping, you'll know dental hygiene is the least of his problems.

 

[Manberg]

I only remember Auba's two, whats the third? That being said, the finishing is what makes the half poor, going by CCC sure, but that's not the only metric i want to judge a first half on. For 30-35 minutes we've looked the inferior team, which we shouldn't. Even if we'd score i'd still critizise, i rather want more control.

Lacazette’s header.
We had the most possession so I’d say we had control.

 

[Jakarta]

I get that but he can go on the outside but never does which would Favour his right . Laca off Pepe on the right auba in the middle and nelli on the left please. Cabellos on too

Def should have started the game like this


Martinelli Auba Pepe
—————Özil
——Xhaka——-Torreira

Man tho we are rubbish atm. We’re def a mid table club now.

We can’t impose ourselves against Burnley. We are getting bullied physically, giving them possession and pose no attacking threat.

We are a weak team like athleticism and talent in many areas

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Xhaka lb then

 

[Aussie_gunner123]

We had decent chances, the Lacazette header is so disturbing


Richarliason is actually a good dribbler and a decent finisher.

He's been killing it for me, he's versatile aswell able to him play centrally and on the left, some great composing finishing aswell.

Can you do your "spoiler" trick with it?

 

[dbig]

We created a few chances earlier on. Then we lost momentum after Saka's injury. If he's not fit, get him off. Seems like he's being bypassed by our players after that.

That said, problem comes from the front 4. They've been poor. Need to score from the chances created since they aren't doing much else.

 

[Trilly]

Martinelli cannot play right wing...

Our RW is there to keep width. Our RB doesn’t overlap so that side is pretty much a wasteland for attacking players.

Our attack is completely geared towards our left side, I don’t like it. Should be a bit more balanced.
