These two have been at the club long enough now and let's be honest, our team has regressed since the two have joined. When we used to have Sanchez I always knew he would do something to really change the game in key moment. I don't get that feeling at all with these two.
With no champions league once again we will have to raise funds from player sales. Either of them could fetch us £40-£60M which could then be reinvested into the the MF and out wide (yes I know we would need more)
Both are good strikers but we are not going anywhere with them in the team.
To be honest I think the likes of Giroud linked up in our team far better than these two.
We need a left sided winger and a MF. Martinelli and saka are not the answers and neither is Auba. if we wants to be taken serious next season, heavy investment is required in these areas.
Sell either Laca or Auba in the summer

I can see why Giroud plays ahead of him for France

Laca needs to be dropped for Martineli, Netkh or Auba
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Needed to be dropped weeks ago and for sure should not have started today, knew that much before kickoff

Laca used to have end product. In the sense that he could score or do enough to create opportunities for others when he was not scoring. Now he lacks all. He is not scoring but even worse, he is creating nothing for others. His hold up play has gone down the drain and he looks shot of all confidence. He should get dropped for a couple of games and come on as a sub to try get a goal and confidence back.

When did Lacazette have a great end product? Whats his highest Premier league tally? 14? He is another Giroud who lacks pace but has better hold up play. Although as rightly pointed out thats suffering from a lack of confidence as well.
We need to do everything to sign Aubameyang to an extension.

Bollox.
Our strikers have zero service from midfield. Only having to get by with a supply of hopeful balls lobbed into the box to no one in particular from our wide positions.
FFS, our only supply of through-balls is Luiz. With Mustafi, of all people, now starting to help out.
Anyone would struggle to find goals playing up front for us.

Come on the chances they had to today is bread and butter for them. Lacazette especially has had enough chances created for him that he’s fluffed.

We have been void of creativity all season. Pepe has been extremely dissapointing and Auba doesn't work on the other flank

Annoyed we didn't sign Zaha.
Would happily spend £70M plus on a Leroy Sane in the summer if it meant we sell Laca or Auba
We need more balance in the team

Laca had no service today. There was that cross he headed wide in the first minute, and the blocked shot he had to wrestle off a couple of Burnley defenders to get. That's all.
If anyone was wasteful today, it was Auba. But only just. Both of his chances inside the box had to be plucked out of the sky after being launched forward by our defence.
Strikers should not have to work so hard. Especially with a £350k p.w attacking midfielder in the lineup.

Read my comment again. End product is more that just goals. Guy scored and had assists. Created space for others to use to score. I consider all that to be end product of sorts. So even if he was not scoring, you'd still have him in the team. Now, he is a waste of space
