But yeah Xhaka's lack of vision is impressive, insisting on going sideways rather than forward, he's been taught well, the only thing that can go wrong for Lacazette is if we insist on playing Wengerball and passing sidways all the time, it will obviously limit the amount of goals he can get if we do that.
I’m surprised Xhaka didn’t play him through on those. That sort of ball is what he’s supposed to be best at. Time will tell. Now that we’re playing someone that make off the shoulder runs, I’m expecting a lot more from Ozil especially. That if he stays.

You’ll disagree with this, a lot of people will, but Lacazette is the sort of striker Theo Walcott should have been. We should have developed Theo playing through the middle and not on the wing.
