Hold-up play is average at best, often loses possession or ends up going backwards. Work rate and pressing? Well that's to be expected from every player, especially if they are otherwise playing poorly.
Passing? Yes he can pass like you would expect an Arsenal player to be able to, he's not a great or gifted passer of the ball by any means though.
How many assists is he getting exactly? Not many.
So as I said, an utter load of tripe. Should be sold as he's not providing what is required from a player in his position and is a very average finisher for a striker.
The worst thing is you can tell he thinks he's way better than he is his fangirls online don't help.

I would 100% take the deal of a Lemar and Laca swap if Atletico Madrid are serious.
IMO Laca although works hard is not good enough. Misses way too many easy chances.
We would solve a winger problems by having Lemar and Pepe and would have Martinelli as backup striker.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Martinelli must start ahead of Pepe - he has looked far better.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's a cracking player but Pepe always seeming to have no less than 3 defenders around him, as soon as he's within ten yards of the area, iiiiss going to leave a lot of space on the other side. Martinelli rarely has to beat two players, always got his FB isolated because the defence is LW heavy to combat Pepe, whom is almost instantly double teamed whomever we play. He had FOUR Chelsea's players all following him at one point tonight. Looked like they were playing "here we go round the Pepe" down the touchline
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of that is true, but Martinelli has been excellent and his workrate in defence makes him a more valuable player - Pepe gives up too easily when he loses the ball and doesn't track back as well.
Pepe is doing ok thus far. Martinelli should start ahead of Lackathreat not Pepe.

Exactly. 💯% agree with you.
In fact, we're having the same issue as we had with Giroud the last few games with Auba out.
Teams are pushing onto us without having to worry about someone running in behind. This is due to Lacazette's lack of pace. There's no fear factor.
