Does anyone else think Lacazette should have started against Manchester United in place of Aubameyang?

Laca was still coming back to fitness after his int break injury and had only made the bench appearance against spuds, so starting him was probably touch and go.

You don't drop a striker who scored two goals in last game. Also, hindsight is 20/20.

I think Auba makes sense against bigger teams (and Spurs) where we might be playing on the break more
Would certainly start Laca today though, maybe even two up front

Although Laca has a better strike rate against them? Except last weekend against Spurs Auba has been woeful against the big sides.

Tbh, Laca should have to. But, it'll be hard to use Laca over Auba when he scores tons of goals.
But, I think Emery will use him as 1st option today.

3-4-2-1 (which was the starting formation against shit and ManUre) is a great formation for playing on the break/counter attacking.
Auba is the better striker with his qualities to play that kinda style.
4-2-3-1 where you are expected to have more of the ball and dictate the midfield against a packed defence, Laca has better skillset to drop deep and link up play, as well as play with back-to-goal.
I’m firmly of the opinion Unai also plays to this.

Form. Auba has been scoring more goals than laca
Auba is a better striker, but Laca is more completed player than Auba is.
Nah auba is better overall. Both are rediculous at finishing but you can just tell with the way auba plays he is another level.
I don't think Auba is a level above striker than Laca is. Both have just different qualities.
Lol how is he better overall? If you said at scoring fine. But his overall game is nowhere near Lacazette. That's why he can get shut down and isolated in games without Lacazette.
I agree with the form, but also think that a well rested Lacazette could have tired out the United defense, maybe scored a goal, as well as allowed a fresh Aubameyang to be subbed on to then score a goal or two afterward.
