I miss Lanzini, where did he go again?

Over the duration of this season, Lanzini has been only the 12th-best performer in Premier League for the Hammers, with an uninspiring 6.65/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
To earn the average rating, the 27-year-old has bagged zero goals and just two assists over 19 league appearances (per WhoScored), leaving some fans wanting the Argentine to return to his former self.

What do we think?
Over the season which Lanzini bagged the goal against the Blues in the footage, the attacking midfielder scored six and assisted two over 26 Premier League outings (per Transfermarkt).
With his record this season appearing to be much worse (per WhoScored), it is clear to see why supporters want to have the old performances of the Argentine back.
