Match Reaction v Brighton (away).

[SMatthews]

We had no goal threat for after Auba fluffed his one on one in the first half, let alone when Laca went off. 6 goals in 18 appearances isn’t good enough for a central striker, even though he works hard for the team. Auba has spent a lot of games working from a starting position he hasn’t been in for years and he’s doing wonders in the league. Laca was bought to score goals and 25 in 61 is probably similar to Giroud level. The vast majority of those of been in a central role too.
