his tactic was pass to Auba.
been found out this season
But the tactic worked. Ergo, canāt be a fluke
If I remember correctly, Auba didnāt play in our cup run until the semi final and final.
In both matches, our aim was to counter as Mikel knew Man City and Chelsea would be very dangerous going forward but not convincing at the back.
Therefore, attack with speed and precision. And who was our best player for that? Auba.
Pepe, KT, and Hector to mention a few were also huge for us too.
Arteta was great last season heās turned into an massive fraud in 20-21
Im not sure he was that great. He made 2 points on Sean Dyche in 19 games.
fair points
ffs why cant we just appoint a good manager

Good in the cup run, and got lucky in some of the matches like against City and Lolpool. I think we had 33 points in 32 matches under him last season so for me I wouldnāt consider that good.

Iāll say it again, heās not captain material imo.
Like others have argued, tactics maybe causing this but ffs if youāre not happy playing left as the captain shout your mouth off.

Definitely not a 300k a week winger so it was a horrific choice to extend his contract as use him like we are.

No manager that is good let alone great is playing Auba out wide or stifiling him like this.
Insane mismanagement that will lead to his sacking

Itās so fucking strange to play him out on the left wing.
Should be taking a leaf out of how his boss used to use Aguero at City. Aubameyang has the frame and strength to play CF to the same general level of competency.
Deserves to get fired for this lunacy.

How many league goals we predicting for Auba this season ?
Iāll say 12 league goals 17 all comps.
This guy must be low key regretting he stayed. Best striker we have got, persistently played out wide on the wing hugging the fucking corner flag.
Why dear lord, why
