Not questioning that. My point stands though he spewed a sitter and was quite unforgivable in the circumstances.

It was similar to when Persie missing an absolute sitter against Milan which would have taken us through.
Despite being the person with most contribution, these instances are more important.
That said not gonna march a lunch mob towards his fancy car.

That goal that Auba missed was a very difficult chance to bury. He was heading away from goal and it took a deflection and ended up at his feet in an awkward position. He basically had to do a 180 with this lower half to get into position to even get a shot off. Not an easy chance whatsoever.
No. His goal was a very hard chance to convert.
It’s a great chance. The only degree of difficulty comes from the pressure of the moment. He’s an elite player he should score.
I’m pretty sure he’d be the first to admit this.

Oh stop.

It was 120 mins of football and the miss looks bad from several angles especially because the goalkeeper went the wrong way, but he’s more than forgiven.
He scored the earlier chance that was much harder and gave us hope to begin with. We shouldn’t need 120 mins of football to score 2 goals at home. All the chances and urgency at the end should have come earlier.

Exactly.
Letting in two goals, at home, against any Greek team and only scoring one goal in 120 minutes, is not the fault of our only decent player.
He is the reason we’re not in the relegation places,
The rest of the team should be ashamed of themselves for standing by and relying on Aubameyang to carry them.

To back up @Stroller on this one a little. We lost to Spurs at home 2-3 about 10 years back (sprry for the reminder). We were 2-0 up at HT and lost 2-3 at FT. Chamakh scored in the game. He also, however, missed a golden chance to make it 3-0.
We all blamed him for that. The same blame that was apportioned to him should be being dished out to Aubameyang in this instance.
What a dire footballer Chamakh was.

He was brilliant in his first half of the season. Totally went dead after Van Persie’s return.
Meh, even in that first half thought he was quite shit. But had this argument here before.

When was this? I think I slept through it

It is indeed a fine and humorous chant, but then as soon as someone deemed it racist (
) it sort of died a death I think out of fear of being reported by someone just itching to be offended by it.
He then left the club of course and the chant was consigned to the bin of history, which was probably best for all concerned

Hopefully Madrid or Barca send in a bid and we cash out while we can.
Who’s Jimmy McCann when he’s at home? Reliable?
