Out of all Lautaro's weakness, his big game performance is not the issue. He performs okay in big games. His number one defect is his extreme streaky patch. He would bang 2 goals easily in some matches and have 2 months being a training cone. I am not talking about his goals only, he often has months of doing nothing on the pitch. It is difficult for us any team when the main forward turns up randomly and you don't know if he will play good or bad.

Pop quiz (without looking it up):

Lautaro has scored against every team currently in Serie A, except for one. Which team is it (obviously excluding Inter)?
Lecce?

You should delete this so others can keep guessing before they see it.

Wanted to say Monza but he just scored against them :lol:

Frosinone? Don't recall if he spanked them the first time around.

Super Lautaro again. Absolutely enjoyed his efforts in both defensive and offensive aspect of the game. He's winning quite a few balls with his tackling or interceptions.

The goal was beautiful. Hopefully this will only make him even more confident in front of goal.

We are lucky to have a player of his calibre. It's impossible to not love him. A true warrior.

Lautaro never fails to amaze me.

Like I said before, he is not a clinical finisher, yet for some reason, is a prolific goalscorer. How is this possible?

Lautaro is on fire. If he hopefully stays injury free, he could have a great season, and to attract a lot of attention.

I dont know if it just me, but something is diffrent about him, he play smarter, he think faster and look very confident and sharp in front of the goal, i hope he will keep his form for long time..

I think the captaincy has really boosted him and made him believe in himself, I was coming to write something similar, one thing I noticed is his first touch, technique and movement with the ball, fantastic so far.

Lautaro's first touch has always been top tier. His biggest issue was composure in front of goal, and he's still not there but he's improved like hell.

He may never be as clinical as we wish, but at least he contributes in different ways whilst scoring and assisting. Also another thing is, he set a very high standard of performances. The guy was immense most of times, even when he's wasteful, he will still do some other things to contribute like winning balls, involving himself in goals, pressuring opponent and everything else.

Hopefully Alexis will play A LOT more this season, so he could give a fresh breath to this team because most of times Lautaro has single-handedly carried our attacking department.

Alexis, Arnautovic, Thuram.... all quality players with different characteristics. How can you not appreciate our directors' efforts in building this team.

He is at a good level, although he needs goal support from another striker.
Sanchez's creativity will come in handy, at the time they had a good synchrony
