It can happen. He has been superb for us this season.
Terrible performance topped off with that horrible decision. But oh well, onto the next one, heāll be sharp against Liverpool Iām sure.
Still needs to find the back of the net more, for all his good play heās only scored 5 times.
Still got an assist
Mustafi at fault more for the goal. Take him fucking down!!
He is working his socks off for the team though.
Shame we only have Aubameyang one hour today, we may well have won the game if he got a full 90.
Here we go, been a while since he scored. Canāt have that leading the line, and yeh he had a Xhaka-esque pass intercepted that lead to the equaliazing goal. Still havenāt seen anything to lead me to believe heās anything more than slightly above average as a CF, that little purple patch seems like a long time ago.
Lol youāve been waiting for ages to say this
Been killing you inside seeing him start the season greatly.
Did you see your boy Theo at fault for both Manchester United goals?
And @Aussiegooner liked him. Chip&chop .
Been waiting for it for weeks. See that i am right about some Arsenal fans not supporting Arsenal?
He wasnāt good today, but he has been very good this season so farā¦ Auba is getting the goals thoughā¦ its a good problem to have for once - 2 strikers who I am happy with starting. The issue is that we donāt have proper wingersā¦ Iwobi was exposed today. Honestly Palace played us perfectly but we still should have beaten them. An off game by Laca, Ozil, and Iwobi cost us, plus two really bad defensive mistakes.
We need a world class striker, not a very good one for a couple weeks then does a disappearing act. We need a guy who scores like 17 in 23 matches to lead the line, ya know the one we have whoās being shunted to the wing to make room for mediocrity because we have no wingers.
I donāt dislike Lacazette but he is what he is, at least his build up play has been very good this season Palace game aside. Heās not world class though only like 22 in 50 since heās been at the clubā¦ meanwhile Aubameyang is going at a goal every 104 minutes since he arrived despite predominantly shunted out wide this campaign.
Its a tricky one - I reckon it is more down to Emery feeling on balance that Laca provides more as a leading striker than Auba and also offers less out wide, so it is maximizing the resources he has. In an ideal world, they would rotate and we would have proper world-class winger. Laca was poor today, but so were several other attacking players, including Auba, goal aside (he got a goal by less than a cm - maybe the first I have ever seen).
Why are you comparing them? They are not competing against each other, but they complementary. One is about pace and great killer instinct in the box, while the other has a great build up play.
At the moment theyāre complimetary, hopefully we sign a quality wide man in the summer though and then they will be competing against each other.
IORP all over again
They should never compete because playing them together is a big bonus for us.
I still think having a proper natural winger that can dribble and take on defenders would be a bigger bonus.
