Lanzini

What's wrong with the "jewel" or is he just hyped?
A player in his position has to score more goals or even assist to goals?
He seems good at 2m passing and quick turns, but what else does he offer?

For pass completion, one of the very best at the club. For 2 of his 4 seasons he was top. Might be again this season.
For key passes (passes leading to a chance), currently our top player this season by some distance.
Of the 4 lightweight AM types in the squad, I have him down as the best in terms of work ethic and actually getting back into position reliably.
For goal threat he seems to run about even with most of our creative attacking players on xG. Yes it would be nice if he scored more.
In short, there's nothing wrong with the jewel. Either our best player or very close.

A brilliant player hampered, as most of our better ones are by the one or two individuals who can always be relied upon to slow down play when we are in possession and allow the defending team to regain their shape. There is a player who plays in a pivotal position who is by far the worst offender at this.

The problem we’ve got is that lots of our players are hyped, but don’t really score.
Penalties aside, Cresswell / Masuaku, Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna / Balbuena, Noble, Rice, Anderson and Lanzini collectively will probably get us about 12 goals. That puts a huge strain on the likes of Antonio, Yarmalenko and of course Haller to find the back of the net.
The best clubs have goals all over the park. We don’t have that luxury

Poor decision making in front of goal yesterday and last week!

I think he’s lost it and we’ve seen the best of him.

Not sure he has "lost it" as it could be argued where he ever had it.
There is a misconception that before his injury Lanzini was this amazing player who consistently performed every week.
If you ask Slaven Bilic, David Moyes and the fans who have memories beyond the past 18 months he was just as inconsistent as most of the other players in our squad over the past 4 years.
I don't remember Lanzini being especially great during our first 2 seasons at the LS when we were getting smashed most home games and involved in relegation battles. Look at his stats/goals/assists.

We need someone to play off Haller - Lanzini is just not doing it

Agree with him not being the kind of player to get the best out of Haller.
Can we get a mix between him and Antonio?

I'm finding he's another we have that once he does find any form, he then gets injured, is out for a while, then struggling to get back into form.

Great player. Isnt being told to stay central or stay up the pitch near Haller on attacks. Naturally then drifts out wide left, taking up Anderson and the left backs space, leaving the right side empty. Leaves us lopsided.

Damn right.
I like Lanzini, because on his day he can be great, but unfortunately thoses days are very few and far between. I know he had a bad injury but he needs to be more involved and more creative.

Re: Lanzini

His issue is that our back line are unable to find passes to him when he's in the pocket, so he has to drop in deeper to get the ball where he's completely ineffective.
He also isn't quick enough to run behind, Fornals within 2 minutes made 2 decent runs beyond Haller opening up space, albeit came to nothing in the end.
He's an excellent player, but he needs to stop dropping deep.

That should be Nobles job, dropping deep and feeding the attackers

I'd personally push Lanzini wide, and move Anderson centrally.

Need musuaku back into the side IMO
lanzini and anderson use him as their outlet on the left hand side so much and his runs up field drag oppo players out of shape.
cresswell doesn't drive forward with the ball like Arthur does which frees up anderson and lanzini
