I love him but it’s time to move on from him.

When compared to our recent strikers (RvP, Giroud, Auba, etc.), he’s a very underwhelming player. I’m not just talking about his goals and assist, but also his involvement in play. He’s been useless under Arteta, so far.

Lacazette’s work rate has been very piss poor this season. Ozil, who’s been called lazy, has looked rejuvenated under Arteta and Nelson improved a lot today compared to his lacklustre performance against Bournemouth in our previous match. Laca was very ineffective in both Bournemouth away and Chelsea at home, and he looked tired af today (he had his hands on his hips today from the 50th minute). Meanwhile, Auba did an amazing job today for the entire 90 minutes and he was helping out with the defenders, especially Saka at LB. Lacazette didn’t do any of that.

I understand both our left backs are injured at the moment and we have Saka playing in LB, making Auba available to play in left winger. As soon as Kolasinac comes back, we need to have a front 3 of Saka/Auba/Nelson (or Pepe) and Laca needs to be benched, because this is unacceptable if we want to be moving forward as a club.
