Lautaro Martinez

[Sandikan]

Utterly woeful.
Through on goal, falls over.
Chance to win it last seconds, heads not just wide, but miles off.
Great chance at 2-2, saved, lucky Messi was there to tap in.

And similarly hapless in every other game.

 

[Adisa]

Knocked a few million off his value this world cup.

 

[Winrar]

It’s a tragedy seeing him lift the WC. He was that bad.

 

[DWelbz19]

Too small, too slow. Never looks good in the CL, and he’s had a horrific WC. Maybe the domestic Italian league is where it’s at for him

 

[SilentWitness]

If they lost this WC and I were Messi I’d find it hard to not get him banned from playing for Argentina ever again. One of the worst World Cups I’ve seen from an individual.

 

[vangagal]

His misses throughout this entire WC is in abundant. Gets bailout everytime though by his team.

 

[ayushreddevil9]

Man i was worried to read all the comments but I realized its Lautaro and not Lisandro

 

[Shane88]

He looked glacial when he was through at the end. So slow.

 

[Delano]

Knocked a few million off his value this world cup.

A few!? Floated as a £100 million player and you wouldn't touch him now. Shambolic tournament.

 

[NoLogo]

He looked glacial when he was through at the end. So slow.

My first thought. "Holy crap, this guy accelerates like Maguire."

 

[Devil_forever]

Another overhyped cnut. He’s up there with the Moroccan striker as the most pointless substitute in this World Cup.

 

[Telsim]

Reminds me of Lukaku - a flat track bully. Seria A makes him look a lot better than he actually is.

 

[Erics_Collar]

Amazing that so much happened today - Messi finally wins his World Cup, Mbappe scores a hat trick, France come back from nowhere, late late goals, extra time and penalties in a World Cup final - and yet my biggest takeaway and all I can think about is how shit this absolute donkey is.

 

[PSV]

If they lost this WC and I were Messi I’d find it hard to not get him banned from playing for Argentina ever again. One of the worst World Cups I’ve seen from an individual.

Can't see him getting dropped unless he somehow stumbles into Maxi's new wife.

 

[berbatrick]

Great chance at 2-2, saved, lucky Messi was there to tap in.

even before that one, messi played him through and he didn't score, a pretty clear chance.

anyway his market value is probably 5m now, time to buy

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

doesn’t deserve a medal, give it to Aguero

 

[Hal9000]

People wanted to pay £100 million for this joke, Terrible WC, somehow worst that Ronaldo's.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

A complete and utter disaster every single game this WC.

 

[Ayoba]

I think Titus bramble might be a better option upfront than this guy. What a terrible player

 

[SAFMUTD]

He's a donkey. Higuain's heir, missed two clear cut chances.

I think Ive been impressed by him literallty twice in about 20games. He is a far better player than he has shown in this world cup, but hav enever got the hype about him. Def no thanks from me even in a current climate lacking in quality strikers under 30

 

[Judas]

He's one of those players who I expected/hoped to kick on and go up a level, and he's sort of done the opposite.

The internet is ruthless.

 

[Robertd0803]

He is rubbish. And thats an insult to rubbish.

 

[Markolan]

It's a bit unfair to judge his whole career by a few performances in the World Cup. I mean this year he also scored a great goal at Anfield and was amazing at Camp Nou: the two most intimidating stadiums in the world football, not the mighty 974 stadium in Qatar.

No doubt his value has to be dropped after what happened this past weeks though. He needs to perform at high level in the Champions League now if he wants to move to elite clubs.

 

[NinjaZombie]

That free header he had at the end....Sunday league levels.

 

[Red the Bear]

His finishing this entire time was just... something I guess.

But he did improve them when he came on so there's that.

 

[FootballHQ]

He's better than what he's shown in this tournament but he simply isn't that good a finisher. He missed loads of these chances in 2021 Copa America aswell.

Yes scores loads in Serie A but we know it's an easier league to score than it was in 90s/2000s.

I remember last year Spurs were desperate to get him when Kane was deemed to be leaving so that's the situation in which he'd flop if he replaced someone who scores 25-30 a season.

 

[Bobski]

He was somehow even worse than Acuna, who was shaping up to be an all time disaster substitute that would have followed Scaloni to the grave.

 

[Suedesi]

He's the new Gonzalo Higuain. Argentina won despite of him

 

[Salt Bailly]

Hell of a tournament for clan Martinez.

 

[Oranges038]

That free header he had at the end....Sunday league levels.

The old 50p head as it use to be called.

Shocking effort.

 

[Pexbo]

If you ever feel like you have imposter syndrome at work, remember that Lautoro Martínez won the World Cup with Argentina.

 

[redshaw]

He was a lump but a useful one in extra time for Messi to play off at least.

He was a good sub after Alvarez, Scaloni did good there. I thought maybe Alvarez could 've been on the end of that chance in the first bit of extra time if not subbed but Lautaro did enough to keep France defence occupied with fatigued players around. Lautaro looks very slow though in general, not something we should be spending big money on.

 

[Brophs]

Stephane Guivarc’h for the Alexa generation.

 

[Boondog]

Did the pain come back in this game?

The worst kind. The one that costs him a shit ton of money.

 

[Plant0x84]

Reminds me of Lukaku - a flat track bully. Seria A makes him look a lot better than he actually is.

Imagine being Inter - having both of them at the club!

 

[wr8_utd]

I still can't quite believe he didn't bottle the final penalty vs Holland. Felt absolutely certain he'd miss that and cost Argentina. Today, he did well for the third goal but he was giving Ghosts of Higuain past with his other finishing.
