Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright believes that Alexandre Lacazette should be starting for the Gunners every week.
The Frenchman was left on the bench as Arsenal lost 3-1 at Liverpool on Saturday with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starting along with new signing Nicolas Pepe.
Wright was the guest on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club to dissect the defeat.
Asked who he thought should be Arsenal’s main striker this season, he explained: “It’s a tough question as Aubameyang’s goal record makes him the more potent but Lacazette makes my team every week. They both do.
“You can’t have that goal scoring threat and not have them on the field. You have to find a way to get them on the field to get them to do what they do. Lacazette should start every week for me for what he does.
“The three of those guys, Pepe, Aubameyang and Lacazette bring something different.
"Pepe can beat people one-on-one with his fantastic pace while Aubameyang is brilliant on the shoulder and if you can get the ball to him he’s literally unstoppable.
"My mind is all about attacking and I want all my forces into getting those three guys the ball and letting them get on with it.
“They both have to start but I can’t say which one is Emery’s main guy as they both do what they do. Lacazette should not be on the bench against Liverpool.
"You come to this country to play in these games against those teams. You want to start in those games and I’d be disappointed if I was him.”
