more often than not its the players around him that turn up to be shit with lauti even if his touch isnt good in a game or two its more likely he will still score when playing poorly than anyone else in our squad .

Regardless this lauti talk is hilarious no one in the market we can replace him with plus we have 500 other players to replace first.

We said the same thing about Lukaku, and grandpa Edin has been a thousand times better.

That's exactly why stats don't tell the full story. Lautaro does score plenty and has moments of productivity.

But he often goes completely invisible or has days when he can't do the basics right.
He's nicknamed Salernitanaman for a reason lol

We can't rely on a striker that frequently goes on 10+ games goal scoring droughts.

Toro shouldn't be our prime goal scorer to begin with.

Jesus the recency bias is strong, grandpa edin killed our season last year. Lauti never rotated and still ended 3rd top goalscorer.

Everyone knows the people that say that don't make sense. He's scored against every big team in serie a most of the multiple times.

Let's pray he never gets injured and doesn't get suspended, he is vital to the team, he may not be the smartest or the more efficient striker in the world but him and Barella are the heart and the soul of the team.

The second goal shouldn't have been disallowed imo but still happy for him to finally start scoring again. He played 90 against Monza, 120 against Parma and still had his insane work rates today.

I think his second goal should have stood.
He held the defender, but it was for a moment only and the defender has already lost his benefitial position.

I was never worried on his ability to overcome difficult moments. The guy has a great character. Though despite not scoring in many consecutive games, he's only 3 goals behind the top scorer of the league who's going through a form of his life.

On a side note, Lauti's second goal should have stood, there was nothing irregular on that occasion, but the referee was a scumbag.

Hopefully he'll bang in a goal or two vs Milan as well. Never worried about his ability to excel in big matches, only the issue is team's performance in overall.

Well he has scored just 1 goal in big Serie A matches this season. If Lazio can be considered a big match. While he does well against midtable Serie A teams he really needs to step up in big games.

This season we have been a disaster so far. My point was in overall since he joined Inter. Then again, there was matches while he was complete trash even against worst teams of the league, so the point is that he is not that "scores only against bottom teams" striker.

-off the ball movement
-passing
-pressing
-volleys
-his touch is actually very good

84 goals total for inter and counting for a forward at 25 years old

find me better? especially someone Inter can afford
Cmon his touch? his has been as shit as Lukaku recently.
beside, have you seen his performance in world cup final against France?
He lost lots of chances.

we should have sold him when Barca wanted him for around €90m. so we shouldn't hesitate again when right price comes. about replacement, Juve signed Vlahovic €70m (+€10m performance-related addons) and I think Vla is younger and more talented than him while we could have done that.
plus if right price comes, there is no rush for replacing him, We'll find the suit player as we did him, Icardi, and etc.

Vlahovic is straight ASS right now, but I don't know how much of that is due to Allegri.

I don't think we should sell Lautaro in any way, short of 80m+ offers. He's our only striker that isn't A) horrifically out of form and B) close to retiremenet.

Lautaro simply cannot be the carry of this team. But at the moment he is. He does so much grunt work, it obviously takes away something from his pure goal scoring. And he's just not that natural clinical finisher. We need one player who can score more goals than Lautaro. Lukaku was supposed to be that guy for us this season but here we are.

I don't think we can ask more from Toro. Maybe in a case his goal tally at the end of the season is not 20 etc, then the salary is not matching the ouput.

The touch that started the combination in occasion of Argentina's third goal is something Lukaku wouldn't be able to pull off even in his dreams.

Lautaro has many aspects of his game that need improvements but his touch is immaculate, one of if not the best in the team. Maybe Barella and Dimarco can compete, imo.

Even I accept his touch skill is not as bad as Lukaku, this doesn't change the fact that we can not rely on him as star who is not deadly finisher, technical, speedy or at least summit in one aspect. what I see is an ordinary player maybe a little more than everage and I have doubt he could carry burden of team when team are suffering a bad day and could save us.
When all team were in a bad day, I've seen him who could not save us with a great goal or move. he is mostly predictable.

I don't think it's necessary to put a label on him, he is not fast, not deadly in front of the goal, not a star, yes, but he is just the only hope we have to achieve anything great this season given that Dzeko is old and can't be expected to be in-form every game and given the fact that we can't rely on Correa and Lukaku.

Lautaro's issues are well known now, but it's a package, maybe he could be more clinical, be more lucid, if he had less intense activity outside the box but it's how he plays and that relentless pressing helps the team a lot too. When he is in a good day, Lautaro is fantastic like in the coppa game against Milan last year, but seeing that he can't always be that player, especially with Inter playing with two strikers we should have another striker to complete him but we don't. Dzeko is still class but as seen yesterday they don't really click, Lautaro and Lukaku used to work well but the belgian is useless now. Correa's case is hopeless.

Lautaro-Dybala could have been nuts but that ship has sailed...
