Don't get me wrong.

His ginger means a lot to me. It's good.

His playing from deep is good too.

But these are extra curricular.

Kane does same for Spurs but Kane scores goals too. I'd say same if he does not.

If Lacazette doesn't score, he is failing in his primary duty. You need to see his joy when he thought he scored Vs Wolves. He knows he needs to get on the score sheet. He is missing lots of chances. All his efforts will soon become null when go goes like 5 more games without scoring despite starting regularly now that Auba is out.

You think he is better than Nketiah, may be he is, but if Nketiah starts getting goals from the bench, I tell you Arteta will bench Lacazette immediately.
This is the crux of the matter. He misses chances, fine and he should score more goals. That's different from you saying he brings nothing aside ginger and an out of form auba is better than him.

It's amazing how you bring other facets of his game then turn around and said he brings ONLY ginger. Except of course thev ginger you know is different from what I know.

And no, even if nketiah starts scoring goals, Laca will be paired with him upfront (na martinelli go suffer am). You think Arteta style of play don't rely on dominance?

Watford came prepared though. Besides, i stil feel Ragnick is not the Man U kinda manager IMO. Na dem sabi sha. Its a season of Ego Clashing for them pitifully.
I feel rangnick have tried for them. I mean, if a coach creates a system for his team to create clean goalscoring chances and they do but they refuse to score, how is that the coach's fault. Ego too full that team and if they think Ten Haag will save them from their egoistic ways they should have a rethink cos even Ten Haag fit no even tame them too. After all he's coming from a Dutch league not even from barca, Madrid or Bayern team sef.

Anyways, any dropped points is our gain and it's really important

A wingers season won't absolve him of his failings. But I hope he starts scoring, if not I suspect Nketiah will bench him. Had we gotten another striker, his season would have been over. I pray he rediscovers he goal scoring power.
Nketiah doesn’t bring the urgency like laca. I wish he had more game time though, but our midfield go sur......fa!! They’ve not been great at chance creation. Crystal Palace try pass us if na that one.

Last season and we move on to better things. But for the 15games left, barring injury, Laca will see more minutes than Nketiah.

Dutch league coaches are straight to business, barely feudal lords like Mourinho, Wenger, Del Bosque. Our advantage sha.

I really do not understand why anybody will defend Lacazette's abysmal figures upfront by making excuse that he brings to the team much more than the usual ginger. This guy was signed to play as a striker and for 5 years he's never managed to score 15 EPL goals in a season. The funny fact is when he's not scoring he's not even up there in the assist table as well.

One would've thought for a striker who doesn't score maybe he's been sacrificing his goals by passing it to others in better position to score but alas that's not the case( if it were to be, he would've at least made top 5 assists makers in the league for at least one season but na lie)

A striker who doesn't score and neither an assist lord is not a striker. I can never Stan such player or make excuse for him ; he's simply a failure at his primary and secondary duty.

We did not sign Lacazette to just transition ball from midfield to attack and then it ends there....we signed him to score or be a goal threat in the box by creating assits or at least pre-assist

Make Arsenal sign better striker in the summer and save us the headache of having to argue about a "non-scoring-striker" every now and then abeg!

It’s common knowledge that we aren’t at our best, down to squad depth. Some of us have accepted this faster and are looking at things from this new pov, not necessarily cos we think that’s normal. Abi we want to forget last two seasons?

Me I’ve accepted Laca no go score goals for a while now. If we see someone better, talk will change. Its simple deflection from headache and tongue ache.

The credibility of these referees are already questionable, they make the stupid and bias decisions
Rodri handled the ball yet no PK, if that was the opposite they will award it
Same with arsenal most of the var decisions are hardly check useless mofos favouring some and deal with others

Tottenham!! Hmm.
Sincerely, i'm not expecting anything from arsenal outstanding matches, because nothing good comes out of outstanding matches. Just look at burnley battling with relegation, despite having about 6 outstanding games at the beginning of the year. Tottenham, were our strongest contender with 3 outstanding matches, but guess what?? Chances were blown just like that and the matches didn't produce a meaningful outcome. Let's just make use of the chance we have now, flog watford come next week, project ourselves into top four and forget the outstanding matches. A point in hand is better than a game in hand.

Just watched ramsdale cam against wolves now, I can only say we are having many young leaders in the team already.
Immediately Gabriel made that error, he wanted to say something but ramsdale just signal to him to move and forget about it more like we are both in this.
If it was our former defense line mustafi will be having a clueless look blaming everybody
Another thing is ramsdale doesn't put his teammates on pressure, example is the one on one with the chinko guy.
Gabriel still want to complain, ramsdale still told him to continue playing. I think that day the 2 CBS were not on the same level, ramsdale might notice this but doesn't want to cause more issues

Lol, you see EPL ref, I've erase my mind off dem. They're bunch of mofos. When I know how biased those ref and var are was when man city won wolves through a penalty (1-0). If you see the stupid thing they called as handball eh?? I was shocked.

our defence that day wasn't too spectacular. We should just give thanks for poor finishing from wolves wen the had clean chances. Hwang and Jimenez were the biggest culprit

You employed a cleaner to clean your home. You return from work and find the place unkempt. You asked the cleaner, she says she has been helping the cook all day and so should be excused for not cleaning the house.

That's Lacazette.

I believe lapse or time makes most fans forget some facts. It's a known fact that Lacazette was signed before Auba. Today Auba is no longer an Arsenal player and yet Auba still has more goals than Laca. How people don't see that Laca is a striker that just doesn't score beats my imagination.

Once arsenal sign better striker we won't care much about whatever Laca brings to the table aside ginger.

Salah handled the ball in the progression of play which led to Robertson scoring. If Liverpool were allowed a bad decision because the refs got others wrong in their favor why do I still see trolls claim ManCity were gifted one against Wolves when City were denied 2 clearer penalties than the one they were awarded?

Klopp’s ever constant complain dey vex me sometimes. grin
Na english ref cause am sha. Besides, Tuchel was silly for bringing on Kepa for one reason; and that is that it played into Klopp’s hands. It was totally evident that the Liverpool players practiced totally on Project Kepa. Asin too obvious he couldn’t catch one plus only Konate played a hot pk. You keep making him keep but he’s such terrible pk taker? Haba Tuchel!! Memdy would have caught one of the 10. That Kelleher didn’t look like he could handle Chelsea attack but he came out good. But Mendy deserve salute abeg.


Klopp should start respecting Mane abeg. Salah was out tired nd then 3 Chelsea on him.

I like Luis Diaz!!! Reminds me of Sanchez.

we saying the same thing, but in two different ways. That inexperience gangan is why he can’t be the reliable pick if it comes to a vote between these two.

Not a Laca fan. Im just accepting where we are and who we are with till the last match. However, i can see Nketiah is brimming up.
