That’s OK. If Lacazette is definitely leaving it’s OK to not play him (I don’t know if that’s true or not) - but playing Aubameyang up front against a deep lying defence just doesn’t work regardless.

Selling Martinez shows Arteta hasn't a scooby

Auba can play against a deep lying defence. You’d swear each of the last 10 or so seasons that he’s scored 25+ goals that he’s only been up against teams that park the bus

He is struggling badly with Artitler’s rigid, pragmatic, dogshïiiit football. We may aswell sell him in the Summer because he doesn’t look interested anymore.

Well, the truth is Lacazette looks a lot better up there, and Aubameyang prefers the left.

I agree Laca looks better up there but again we should be playing a style that gets the best out of our best players instead of negating them. Auba must really regret signing that contract, even if it was a big money deal

Aubameyang last season scored 5.65 goals more than expected but this season has scored 0.19 less goals than expected so on par for the chances he has had this season. Under Emery he scored 1.55 goals less than expected but still scored 22 goals in the league. This season is the least chances he has had in his whole career in a whole season. Heck under Wenger Aubameyang had an expected goal of 9.17 and scored 10 league goals in 13 appearances so he had nearly as many chances and the same goals as he did that season than compared to Arteta this season. Since Wenger left Arsenal have massively dropped off in chances created to Wenger last season.

This was a year ago but the fact is Arsenal are lucky in this department. They need a better midfield and defence. Strikers are very good. Goalkeeper is very good. Just the midfield and defence is extremely poor.

Stats don’t tell you everything, shots/headers Leno has to save wouldn’t even exist under Martinez because he comes and takes the ball out of the air. Our best defence for many seasons was with Martinez in goal, I know that because I was at the Grove watching it.

hes no martinez

Arsenal are 3rd best in goals against but 5th best in expected goals against. They have conceded 4 goals less than expected.
