Alexander Lacazette is on fire, scoring five Premier League goals in his last six games and a total of 13 in his career.
Lacazette is currently third in the league in terms of minutes between goals (behind Kane and Salah), and if he keeps this up,
he might be the most prolific finisher by the end of the season. Laca's preference is to fight violently with his rivals while also exhausting them with his runs and movement.
He resembles a wolf rather than Auba, who resembles a pouncing puma (and there is nothing wrong with that either).
Alex enjoys scaring the living daylights out of his enemies while playing with his younger wolves, Saka, ESR, Ode, Martinelli, and others. Luca, what's up?
DON'T MISS:
He must be a nightmare to play against, and out of all of our attackers, Laca seems to have the best chance of staying with the team next season.
Laca is the only Arsenal player who is fouled less than Saka, and he is also very effective, averaging 1.6 shots per game, which puts him tied for third with Arsenal star Pepe (Auba has 2.0 and Saka has 2.2).
Alex seems to choose his moments more carefully, but when he is ready to shoot, there's a fair chance he'll score.
This is the most amazing thing of all because Laca works his tail off all the time and should be too exhausted to pull the trigger properly; however, when he does, he is extremely good, especially in recent weeks.
Of course, scoring goals isn't the only consideration, even though we're in dire need of them right now.
Laca's assist total in the Premier League is surprisingly poor, with just two, but this is true of all of our attackers.
The only exception is Willian, who has five assists despite being heavily criticized (Auba and Pepe have one each, Ceballos has three and ESR has four).
Why there has been so little synergy between our key attackers, with no simple, outstanding assist-maker in the entire squad, remains a mystery.
With just 43 Premier League goals in 31 games (1.4 goals per game), our attack has been lacking: eight teams have scored more than us, and seven teams have already scored 50 or more goals.
Arsenal, on the other hand, has scored 31 goals in 17 games since Christmas, for an average of 1.8 Premier League goals per game (multiply that by 31 and we'd be well over 50 PL goals now: 55 – the poor start to the season is still costing us now).
DON'T MISS:
So there has been a real change, and that is just what we should be concentrating on: Arteta's revolution is unfolding right before our eyes. Our assault, on the other hand, has a lot more potential.
It's incomprehensible that players like Aubameyang (9), Willian(0), and Pepe(5) have scored so few goals this season; surely they'll start scoring goals left, right, and center at some point? If they do, we will have a good finish to the season, and I believe this is about to happen.
Arsenal's assault is a monstrosity that is desperately trying to find its ideal form and operating method. Laca seems to have wanted to push himself to the front of the squad, and as a result, has transformed into the monster-attacker we all thought he was capable of (and I apologize for ever doubting you, Master Alex)!
