Indeed he was pretty poor, but our attack is kind of a mess in overall. It's not only an individual issue though. As a whole, they are struggling to adjust themselves properly, no matter if it's Lukaku-Lautaro, or Dzeko-Lautaro partnership. I thought Lautaro is VERY limited when he's playing with Dzeko up front. The latter one is very static and makes it easier for opponent to man-mark him, which means Lautaro has lesser opportunities because Dzeko doesn't help it.

I'm not even putting the whole blame on Dzeko, because Lauti was dreadful as well, but football is a collective thing so if you don't get the help then it's gonna be easier for your opponent to shut you down.

We have seen that Lautaro tends to do some brilliant things, and all of sudden ruin everything by a bad final touch, or giving the ball away too easy, which could be many factors due to this. There's a few matches where we have dominated our opponent by far, and that was becuase as a group we were quicker and we had far more movements which made our opponent confused. We were unpredictable though.

Just look at the match vs Milan in the Supercoppa for example. We created so many opportunities and we scored quick goals, and that is because we had plenty off-ball movements and we were quicker in reactions. Nowadays we are usually too passive, we make slower decisions which makes us look VERY predictable in attack.

I'd want a Lukaku-Lautaro duo from now on. At least Lukaku is quite active lately.

Lautaro is not the world class guy you can put up there to carry by himself. He has hot streaks and cold streaks but it's never about him taking over the game by himself, he needs support. But when he has some good player next to him, he can support that player.

He's having a terrible time at the moment. Let's hope he gets one of those empty net chances Lukaku has missed, maybe Toro can put those in.

I’d even prefer Correa over Dzeko with Lautaro. Correa is a black hole when it comes to scoring but at least he’ll open up space with his pace and dribbling.

Correa need time to find his confidence but Dzeko is done.
We must give him more time over Dzeko cos of either sell or keep him

i dont think lauti has had a particularly bad game he was able to turn with a few balls that were dangerous the through ball to dzeko sucked but lets be honest they would have been able to recover vs slow ass dzeko. Also the trying to meg in our own half was abysmal. Overall I felt when lauti dropped deep he played well he just cant play with dzeko he needs someone to create movement for him.

Needs to be more of a main striker than the first defender who runs for two. Expends too much energy on non-striker functions and needs the team's help if he's to become more of an offensive threat.

I don't believe Lautaro can be the main striker. His scoring is way too inconsistent.

But he definitely needs a partner who can run more off-the-ball than what his partners at the moment do (Lukaku, Dzeko, Correa). That might even affect his finishing as he's not as composed in those key moments when he's used all his energy in off-the-ball tasks.

he wont flourish unless he starts to improve his ball control,dribbling and accurcey
but also inzaghi must improve the dimarco/darmian play making and assign a AM in his plan
because even dzeko dont have enough chances,at least 4 per match to score 1 for this medicore attackers.

No.10 has become more meaningless with the likes of him wearing it. Absolute disgraceful.

When your bad spell covers most of the season then you are a shit striker. I don't care how many exquisite goals he would score later on, we cannot rely on a striker who fails to consistently finish chances.

Does he have to slip after each shot?
