Alexis won us points but I think breaking down 5-6 attacks per game cost us points too
I actually think Alexis would of ruined the fluid attacks of Man City but Mourinho’s United who don’t commit many players forward probably benefit from having such an individualistic player. Still I don’t think Lukaku is an ideal strike partner for him.
Disagree Sanchez is a wide player that scores a goal every other game, he’s one of the top 5 players in the league and no point us having sour grapes just because he’s jumped ship to United.
If we have a more functional forward line and we become more efficient in attack its certainly an upgrade.
As far as goals go Laca will more than compensate with 30+ league goals if he’s being supplied with an abundance of chances I predict he will be with two top level creative players behind.
His goal against Palace is how I want him to play. I want him to focus on movement in the final third and probing the oppositions defence rather than trying to craft intricate link up play deeper on the pitch which he isn’t really capable of. Lets the creators create we just need him to cap off smart play with goals
I expect ozil and other attacking players to get 7+ over a full season too
I will give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was meaning 30+ league goals from Auba. 30 + league goals from Laca is just crazy stuff unless we start getting awarded penalties at the rate we concede them.
It’s funny really, both sets of players in this transfer essentially represent the character of each manager they will now be playing under. We were pretty much on the cusp of signing Mick before he bailed out last minute, however, judging what kind of a person this Mino chap is like, the influence of getting the best deal for himself could have been a prevailing factor in that.
We now get a player who I’m sure will feel the comforts of Wenger’s way, for good or bad, however this could be a revival of sorts. Hoping he has the fire to prove to everyone that he wasn’t a PL flop. I really think he suits our way of football.
Wasn’t it officially reported that Lemar bailed out on us. So we decided to keep Sanchez? So not like Wenger didn’t want to sell but our replacement was gone.
