I just think he is overweight right now, thats why his movement looked a bit slow and heavy. Hope he can back to his form and get more involved in the gameplay. Remember guys he rangked 7th in the Ballon d'or, showing he is already a world-class striker. A big thank you to Trinidad and Tobago Journalist, the only one who picked him as the best striker in that event.

I’ve been enjoying the posts over the last few pages.

Lautaro has always succeeded in spite of himself.

Despite lacking any physical gifts such as height or speed, despite being a laughably poor dribbler, despite being an astoundingly mediocre technical finisher, he’s still managed to score a lot of goals - somehow.

His winning goal in the Copa America final just sums him up perfectly:
  • Is 1 on 1 with the keeper with the full net to aim at
  • clumsily blasts the ball dead center, right at the keeper’s stomach
  • somehow manages to score and becomes the Copa America hero. Wild.

Fucking whack player.

When it’s not working out for him, he just lacks any fundamentals to lean on or otherwise contribute to the team… until such as time as his luck turns again and he starts fortuitously scoring scuffed finishes.

One of our best goalscorers ever, but also somebody who isn't a dominant force on the field most of the time.

Well, when he's on, he is, but mostly he really isn't. Still offers more to our game than Icardi did, but he is slowly phasing out of games entirely and he needs to assert himself more. Especially since we know he can do that. I trust him more to do that than Thuram or Arnautović. The only one that is similar to him in our squad is Taremi

It's kinda ironic though because he's right all we have for Lautaro now are fading memories

Hilarious. Yeh he has no pace whatsoever but none of his technique is mediocre. Plus he contributes to the build up play, can pick a pass, helps move the ball quickly on counters and his all-round game has improved massively these past few seasons. He's a fine player and his goal-scoring technique is excellent.
He has an great attitude but maybe the captaincy is a little too much extra weight for him and IMO he does look like he needs a rest.

As you say - he’s still managed to score a lot of goals.. which is his main job.

Lautaro has great finishing ability when he actually connects with the damn ball. I've never seen a player whiff on so many crosses. It beats Barella shooting the ball out of the stadium every time. Regardless I'll say this once and probably not again, we'd be better off selling him for a massive sum, signing David on a free in the summer, and reinvesting in a CCB replacement and elsewhere. Hell we could bring Hakimi back if we wanted to with that kind of money.

I don't think there's a club willing to splash 100m on him even 70m

Yeah, this is more true than people would like to admit, tbh. His main problem was always consistency. He shows glimpses but almost never really in a way you would say oh he is world-class in this particular skill. The only thing where he was world-class and consistent imo was his work rate and tenacity, especially last season. That was a one thing he could lean into when everything else was failing him. This season he lost his work rate as well, so he is completely stripped as a player, hence people can now see there is very little there you can rely on regularly.

I would like to see Taremi get a run of games and have Lauti partner him. Lauti tends to be best when he can focus on working off a target man like with Lukaku. I dont know much about Taremis game but from what I've seen hes pretty physical and able to hold the ball up.

Your post is tragic, bordering o pathetic.

Why are you talking about him as if you are remembering the memories you had with a lost love or as if he is dead?
It's a dramatisation on how dog shit he's playing at the moment, and also a commentary on how pathetic his best reference is to something he nearly did ok two years ago, where he contributed a total of 2 goals across 7 matches in a CL final run.

If I wanted our leading striker to contribute memories, I'd bring etoo and milito back. The only thing Lautaro should be doing is apologizing to fans for a dog shit start to the season that is costing us points and telling everyone he is focused on getting back into shape and form asap

Should have left that response to ungrateful fuck.
It's childish and unnecessary. Lautaro earns millions by his public figure and must deal with criticisms more mature. There is zero, literally zero benefit of crying on the Internet besides satisfying one's ego.

Don't forget he is the captain of Inter while nobody gives a shit who the other random guy is.
