I agree but I think the choice in Emery’s mind is Auba versus Iwobi, not Auba versus Mkhi.
Emery just hasn’t wanted to play a front three of Auba/Laca/Iwobi, partly out of doubts regarding Iwobi on the right but also likely partly because - much like Wenger - he prefers his right winger to be more of a wing midfielder that helps in the buildup and plays in less advanced positions, therefore providing more defensive protection to Bellerin and allowing Bellerin to surge forward into a wing position when in possession.
Its a dilemma because Iwobi is having a great run of form and looks like a potential breakout player. But I think its really a pick two out of Laca/Auba/Iwobi situation when drawing up the starting eleven. Obviously things can change during the match: If we are behind Emery is going to become more adventurous.
I did it so either way I’ll be a bit happy about the result. If lolpool spank us, good FPL week. If we can beat them I’ll care less about FPL. Worst thing that could happen is we lose and Mane doesn’t do shit
That’s because we’re an intelligent bunch who can see beyond putting the ball in the back of the net… unlike a large section of the the Twitter brigade
hattrick tonight plz Auba
