Everyone misses sitters I can find you videos of Henry, CR7, Messi all doing the same, Laca is no Giroud who used to miss them on a regular

Pressure of the occasion. Had to be sharp with his chances today after the misses on Thursday. Clinical today. Has to start Thursday and just needs to get on the shoulder of defenders more.

A really good goal scoring record in the PL this year.
Goals per minute is right up there with the best in the league.

Just perfect that, the turn and ball from Partey is unreal. The run and finish from Laca is top class.

Great today. As I have said before he's one of the best we have and should continue w/him. Think he has always worked hard ,goals or not, just not flashy enough like many other CFs.

What a bloody pass. How did he see that after turning so quickly?

Really good run and finish from Laca. With that sort of service he doesn't need to worry about dropping deep.

Minutes per goal in the PL this year

Salah 133
Kane 134
Lacazette 139

Laca has played far less than the other 2 because his season was messed with by Arteta.
He should have started every game at CF - he scored 3 in 3 in his first 3 games.

Could be but he doesn't ask Auba or Nketiah to do the same when they play as striker. They tend play off the shoulder more.

Whatever the instructions are they are working as Laca is one of the most prolific goalscorers in the league this year.
So just keep on doing the same - and above all, quit dropping him.

Better as a ten than a nine. He’s not sharp enough or clinical enough or quick enough to be a nine.
