I feel that when he first burst onto the scene he was this ultra explosive winger who would knock the ball 20 feet out and chase it and ut felt like he was constantly at 100mph

But the more i watch him play now he preserves his explosiveness more… he still is THAT FAST he only uses it when necessary. Far better at linkup play and off ball positioning to get into ideal positions and doesn’t try to take on his man as much as he once did in the past but instead just finds space with out the ball.

    Interestingly enough he scored 4 goals in 30 EPL games in 21/22 and during all his EPL seasons he scored 10-14 goals.

    Even more interestingly, the last two best goalscoring seasons were 27 goals in 35 games in 22/23 and 28 in 30 in 2016/17. Both of this seasons were in Ligue 1, just before and just after Arsenal.

    But, I guess you’re totally right, it’s a total coincidence that Lacazette was an average/bad striker in EPL for years (people called him Alexander Lack-of-threat) and once he plays in the Uber Eats league he scored almost 30 goals. Total coincidence, it has nothing to do with the huge difference in the level of football.
