He is slow, he cant dribble, he needs too many chances to score, he is too much sloppy and his heading is not good. We need killer in 16m. Lautaro is not the one.
and he is trash in Europe... Its also pretty sad he hasn't improved in 4 years. I like that he is showing passion and I think he gives it his best pretty much all the time, but I am all for selling him and get someone that can actually finish.

Come on he’s definitely improved. His finishing is not where it should be but his overall play has come a long way. He just shouldn’t be allowed near penalties unless there’s no one else who can hit them.

I can only understand this kind of a mess if the team intentionally wanted to lose according to Zhang`s instruction so he can generate some money by betting.

WTF was Lautaro taking it while Lukaku is on the pitch? You need to have a clear order in pen takers. This is intended to be a top club, not FC Random.


Inzaghi is a joke.

I will repeat myself.

What is wrong with Lautaro in CL? Fucking up passes, can't dribble, looks sluggish, can't get a proper shot off. I can remember at least 3 times he fucked up a pass to Lukaku.

He did almost score from that scuffled shot from Lukaku in the second half, so Lautaro STILL HAS IT, he knows where to go, but the defender was aware. Everything else, god awful stuff from Lautaro.

What the fuck is your problem guys? Where do you get that "he doesn't deliver in CL" bullshit from? The guy scored in many big matches we've played in CL over the last couple of seasons, then he's constantly doing his best even though it probably isn't ideal. Last night he was at least putting so much effort and has done quite a few things but lack of support let him down.

In overall he was average because he has so many misplaced passes here and there, but also had some beautiful touches and won some balls as well. It doesn't say much because he's leveled up his standard. But as soon as he's not at his best, people come here and bitch that he's awful.

Then again, our game was entirely based on defending and counter-attacking, which the latter part was pretty damn rubbish in overall. We have lack of communation and our attack looks in de-sync when it comes to executing things. Dzeko was way worse than him, and Lukaku is just trying but he's far from a competent striker these days.

I'm now at peace with the fact that he will never be that superstar striker that is always lucid and precise in what he does. At least at the moment he is far from that.

But he is still our most valid striker and his activity is crucial, just never ever allow him to take a penalty, other than that at the moment I don't think we can play without him, I hope he scores against Juve and starts a new positive streak because us finishing in the top 4 depends on his form.

Yes, this Lautaro superstar needs to get out of anyone's system if it's still there.

He's an unbelievable warrior and a leader but he just isn't your superstar who can stuff by himself. Add the goals he scores (he will be our top scorer for the second season in a row now) and he barely justifies his salary.

2020/21: 1 CL goal in 6 matches
2021/22: 1 CL goal in 8 matches
2022/23: 1 CL goal in 8 matches

So no. Lautaro doesn't deliver in CL. Showing up in one big CL match per season isn't nearly good enough from your star forward. He's paid as a top player so he needs to play like one.

Tell me more about overall Inter stats in CL over the past few years because that's what matters more than Lautaro's individual stats.

Do you even remember the actual performances of Lautaro in these matches he played or just you're searching for random stats and posting here to gain some more attention?

To gain attention? :lol: I don't post to gain attention. I don't need it and i don't care about it. I just express my opinion and i couldn't care less whether it gets attention or not.

I remember those games very well and i don't need to check any stats. Lautaro has been a disappointment in CL because we know he can do much better. His high work rate is appreciated but not enough for someone with his salary. That's my opinion.

Yeah but you consistently come up with this 1 goal in CL stat every single time there is a Lautaro discussion.

Like I said, now tell me more about how Inter has done in CL in past few years...

It's not an excuse. It's a fact. If you don't like it not my problem.

I never said it's not a fact. You just said he can't deliver in CL and I'm arguing about it. He is not a typical goal-scorer. I have also said that he's quite wasteful at times but also he tends to score quite a lot despite that he was never the main target-man in Inter. Before it was Icardi, then Lukaku and now Dzeko.

To me these stats don't have a huge meaning because I can see in the actual game that Lautaro does very well and contributes for the team in one way or another. But you are not answering my question;

Let me hear your analysis on how Inter has been in overall in these past few years in CL...

What analysis do you want? Grandpa Dzeko has scored more than Lautaro in CL. Out of form Lukaku has actually scored more. It's embarrassing for Lautaro. Lautaro isn't a creator so scoring is definitely a part of his job. His high work rate isn't enough to save him from criticism. There's nothing else to add really.

Some serious Lautaro hate going on here, can't tolerate this kind of behaviour.

Thing with Lautaro is he's not a clinical finisher. He plays instinct game so his decisions with the ball are rushed time to time. But he uses so much energy to the work he does (what the coaches want!) that his output in scoring is affected. If we take out the work and effort he puts in every game, he might score more but then we could ask, would he? Would we have the same chances each game if no one was doing that work?

And yet he is STILL our top scorer this season.

I've grown to dislike the term work rate almost as much as xG and all other cancer about modern football

Dude, I'm not pointing individual stats in this regard. I meant, that Inter in overall has been shockingly bad over the past few years in CL, and this is the first time since 2011 that we are reaching quarter finals. As a group we were prone to failures. For example, you have quite a few fiascos in the league as well despite that Lautaro has scored a bunch of goals and also has good stats in overall, but then again my point is that Inter as a team in overall is just garbage.

I never highlighted his work-rate as a single attribute to his contribution for this team. The guy just does so many things other than putting efforts. He has great technique and also tends to create chances on his own, then has improved in physical aspect of the game and so on.

"Dzeko has more goals than Lautaro in CL. Out of form Lukaku has scored more." These lines are just enough for me to skip and never discuss with you anymore. Each to his own.
