#3 Flop: Alexandre Lacazette

With Aubameyang out of the squad for the next three games, all eyes were on Alexandre Lacazette to step up and take on full goalscoring responsibilities. The Frenchman hasn’t scored in his last seven appearances, with most of the team’s goals being scored by his strike partner, despite playing on the wing.

Once again, the Frenchman put in a workmanlike shift that saw him make most of his touches outside of the box rather than in it. Despite being captain for the day, the 28-year-old was hooked off after 75 minutes for the young Eddie Nketiah.

In another poor performance, the Frenchman only attempted one shot on goal, had 25 touches, completed zero dribbles and only completed 13 passes. With rumours swirling that the Frenchman is refusing to sign a new contract, many fans would not be sad if the striker left in the summer. Based on today’s evidence, it’d be hard to create a case for the forward starting another game this season.
