Paul Merson takes a dig at Alexandre Lacazette

Paul Merson is not impressed with Lacazette’s body language on the pitch.

The 29-year old French striker had an impressive start to the new season scoring in three successive games but has now gone six matches without finding a goal for himself.

He is currently positioned in his favoured striker role at the expense of Aubameyang who is playing from the left wing on most games.

Merson believes that it’s the right time to place Aubameyang in the central striking role.

‘I just think you’ve got to get Aubameyang (in the middle),’ he told Sky Sports.

‘I played out on the wing in my career for part of it.

‘You either have so much of the ball you can’t get enough of it or you never see it for 20 minutes and you’re sitting there doing nothing.

‘When you’ve got your most talented player playing out there he’s too easy to pick up. Teams are getting used to him now he gets it out on the left, he cuts in and bends it in the top corner.

‘They are stopping that so they’ve got to get him in the middle of the pitch. Lacazette plays like, I watch him and it’s ‘I’m coming off after 70 minutes… so pfft’.’
