Squad management is all theoretical at this stage.
Aubameyang is arguably our best player. He’s playing every game that matters, regardless of his position, so there is likely to be little management of his condition. So whether Lacazette or Iwobi or Xhaka or Ramsey are on the pitch at the same time as him, it shouldn’t really matter.
What does Laca and Auba have to do with pressing? And where is this idea that we’re going to be playing a high intensity press coming from? Emery is a pragmatist, a game to game tactician, like Mourinho, we’re not talking about a Poch or a Klopp or even a Rodgers or Sarri here. Laca can easily keep up with the intensity of Emery’s press–which will really likely only be at home against lower opposition–and anyways, not sure where the idea that he’d be a less effective presser than Mkhitaryan or Özil would come from in the first place, either. Actually his chasing down of opponents and winning the ball back in Wenger’s non-existent press was something that impressed me.
Very wide of the mark 
I’m not questioning his ability to press effectively lol
Really don’t get this argument that it doesn’t make sense to play them together.
With both of them in the team we have two bona fide goal scorers, if Emery can make it work why not? Because we need Laca for the bench? I actually find that laughable tbh.
Sure ideally we would have two specialist wide players in tandem with Auba but the squad is what it is, don’t think there’s any desire to offload Laca and so it’s worthwhile to see if he can fit alongside Auba.
Ah, apologies, I didn’t read the posts above. I see now why you were talking about pressing and that they were separate comments.
Such a stupid thought. We have two great strikers. They both should start
That a pretty stupid argument too.
That’s the thing though if they’re playing together Emery doesn’t see Laca as a back up but rather an important part of the starting XI
If we were to get a quality winger to play LW then I wouldn’t mind Laca as the designated back up but thats not necessarily going to happen and if they can play together so be it, you play Auba wide and interchanging or solely up top it still results in tons of goals.
This is my issue too. I honestly wouldn’t have signed Leno and put the money towards a winger. Lack of activity on that end bothers me considering our forward options
Considering the amount of players who could be shipped out it is still an option, as per usual there are all sorts of rumours linking us to wide players with Bailey being the latest.
There’s a good amount of options out there and there’s not much excuse for us not to make an effort to sign one of them.
.
We don’t have a single legitimate wide player barring Nelson in the squad, it’s nonsensical.
MADNESS!
We have one world class striker and 1 good striker, no quality LW, so it will be standard Arsenal shoehorning players in an unbalanced squad.
Emery apparently loves to rotate like Benitez did, so I wouldn’t get too worried lads.
Can he make a sub before the last 20 minutes? 
What happened to that Mark Lamarr guy we were gonna sign from Monaco last season? Cheeky bid needed?
He’s off to Atleico for £52mil.
Still boggles the mind that Wenger was prepared to part with £92mil for him :mkhi:
I think he’s going back to presenting Never Mind The Buzzcocks 
We are gonna sign Neymar. You know him and Emery get along well :unai:
