Lacazette always had more to his game than scoring goals. Whatever people now say, he has always been good at holding the ball up under pressure. That allows a focal point to build play. And that was actually better than Giroud's. But that player still needs to contribute some goals. Should be scoring 15-20 a season. Unfortunately Laca isn't even doing that at the moment. His combination play is really suffering. So when a player can't maintain possession in the attacking third or score his impact is very very poor. A bit like Wiltord in his last few years. We need to move him on in the summer. He needs a change of scenery. I had hoped Wenger, Emery, Freddie or Arteta could have tried a Yorke/Cole formation with Auba and Laca but no one really has so there really isn't any point of keeping him.
The system is being used to stabilise MF. When you're lucky enough to have two WC strikers of their quality, my guess is, the LEAST of the managers worries right now is missed chances.
"They're too good (reliably so), one's bound to score whatever really, so I'll focus on the catastrophic MF mess behind them first to GET them chances and worry about missed ones later if they don't sort themselves out!"
Is probably where the manager is at on that. As for...
"He doesn't seem to make the effort unless the ball is laid on a silver platter for him. Playing with him as our focal attacking point is like playing with ten men. By contrast, Aubameyang tracks back, stops opposition attacks, drops deep for the ball and creates chances for other players. The vast gulf in these two players is down to attitude and effort, and that's all."
I don't which games and player you've been watching but they're not Arsenal and Lacazette. He's one of the hardest working players we have. He's regularly blown up for scrapping it out with a defender in attack and attackers in defence. Tracks back just as much as Auba but Auba is more obvious to spot since he's quicker and playing on the wing tracks back further and faster. Lacazette has kept assisting whilst not scoring and is one of the few actually creating chances in games. You were right about the diva bit but he's a French player so goes with the territory. Flat wrong about the other stuff though. He just in a goal drought, nothing more. Not rubbish now or useless by any means. If he wasn't doing all those things then I'd be worried but for now, I still happy to see him playing. He's one of our few contributors ATM and he WILL finding scoring form again. Not his first drought after all, just first one at Arsenal (granted at the worst possible in time).

I can be positive about most of the player problems at the club, since most of the players criticised do have something positive going for them in terms of contribution. That isn't the case with Ozil, he simply leaves us nothing at all to be positive about.
I am one of the generally more forgiving posters when it comes to player slating. I've had time for many a heavily criticised player of lesser stature and ability than Ozil. Eboue, Song, Ramsey, Walcott just to name a few. So for me of all people to be saying what I am about Ozil. Well he truly must be shockingly useless at the point.
Hate is such a strong word.
