Maybe the xG is catching up to him
Yeah probably the uneducated ones will turn on him, and thats a big portion of arsenal supporters. However I think we all know whoās to blame here.
The fact he has had 5 shots in our last 4 games is the concerning part, if he had 15 shots and had a few guilt edged misses I would be way less worried.
Fewer shots from inside the boxā¦ladies and gentlemen, we have a problem.
Better tell Houston. Oh we got rid of him didnāt we.
Somehow managed to turn the best penalty box striker in world football into some faux bootleg winger that averages a single shot a game.
Youāre supposed to place your best players in situations in which they can thirve, heās having to score worldies to get on the score sheet at all.
I donāt blame Auba for this, itās garbage utilisation by Arterta and it canāt continue.
I do. Why in the hell did he sign that contract?
Iād have ran a mile to Milan, Juventus or Madrid once that contract went up.
Would easily displace the starting CFs there.
Would have been better for all parties if he left. Or hopefully, some common sense starts being used and we can see Auba becoming our 2nd most prolific striker ever potentially.
I agree itās ridiculous not to play Auba as the main CF.
This putting him on the wing nonsense must stop ASAP.
Because we probably offered him a shit load of money.
He looks out of form but how much is that to do with playing in this soul destroying offence that Arteta has conjured up?
At this rate heās on track to have a terrible season by his standards, he does not normally go over four games without scoring.
The attacking third should be built around him not doing him a disservice, if Arteta canāt get the best out of Auba then he isnāt the guy for this club.
Arteta taking defeat from the jaws of victory how can you possibly fuck this up? Wanker
You guessed it, that was the last time he was played out wide for so long.
Wasnāt Dortmund fighting relegation at one point that year
Strap in lol
Yeah, there it is like I mentioned . He hasnāt blanked like this not even under Emery.
Sucked the life out of him
A brilliant description of Artetaās work
I canāt imagine that when they sat down to sign that three year contract, the conversation went something like:
āHey Auba, if you commit to us for the twilight years of your career as a world class striker, we promise to play you on the left and on the right as much as humanly possible, and donāt worry cause youāll never get a match down the middle.ā
What the fuck will he be thinking right now?
It took us just 6 games to suck all life out the club
what a club
Right even though heās playing on the left, heās the captain and should be making his mark regardlessā¦he should be that rallying call to all the players. Having a big smile and being everyoneās pal is not my kinda captain.
Great striker but not my captain.
The captain thing is so far down the list of issues it may as well be at the centre of the earth.
What Iām getting at is if heās our best player, regardless of position surely he needs to be the beating heart?
