Alexandre Lacazette

I miss Henry, PV4, Ashley Cole, Sol, Pires and Bergkamp.

On the Arsecast Extra, Andrew from Arseblog pretty calmly laid out why Lacazette shouldn’t start at Southampton and James was like ā€œyeah, he’s still startingā€ and I can absolutely see that being the case.

Arteta has his guys and it’s not changing this late in the season.

I do think we’ll see a three CB set up with wingbacks though.

Next season perhaps?

Can see Arteta rocking a 3 at the back with wing backs either side. Tomi - Saliba - White - Gabriel - Tierney

Probably true, but also I think one way of looking at it is he has his tactics and they’re not changing.

If you’re hell bent on playing like this there isn’t and never was anyone else in the squad who can do it, let alone do it better in that position. Eddie sadly is completely lost there. I thought for a while that maybe ESR could do it in the same fashion KdB plays for City but idno if he even trains for that role in between games, who knows. This is a major issue with the squad at this point anyway.

Only June can rescue us from this Lacazette nightmare. Arteta is going to start him every game until his contract runs out. Shambles. Pep v 0.34 will never do it, but it coild be time for Mar9 or Pepe upfront.

Bit unfair on the lad there. It’s not his job to make passes, he’s a striker. He’s there to convert penalties won by superior players.

Injured? Or just too embarrassed to show his face?

Laca is still recovering from doing some running in the last match :henry2:

Do we really have anything to lose by trying something different than Lacazette at CF on Saturday? I say fucking go for it

Well last two games he’s been dog so about time someone else started but only real option is Eddie. Martinelli can’t even figure out how to be effective on the wing never mind with his back to goal.

If we played counter ball then maybe Gabi or Pepe would be an option. In this tactic I’d rather try ESR again.

If he’s playing to earn a new deal, he’d probably be be better off getting his agent to apologise and to walk away as quietly as possible. His form is horrific.

Auba treatment here we fucking go!!!

I want Nketiah to start every game for the rest of the season

Ehhh. He talked up Nuno before the Brighton game before putting him in deep storage. I don’t trust a single thing he says.

Should have been dropped for the Brighton game. Nketiah has been playing significantly better than him recently.

Could have used Martinelli or Pepe there too. As soon as a player drops to this kind of form a manager needs to step in and ours has been too slow to react.

The same could be said for a couple of players the past 2 games tbh.
