Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

[Angelito]

So, are we about to be the Hollywood FC of the Prem now?

But have to admit, most players liked Ozil's Insta post after being excluded from the squad. That defo seems to be a factor in how things are shaping up.

[theHotHead]

Stop with the Özil stuff. Dude is finished. If you get told you won't play a role this season and you don't seek a new club to play at then you don't have what it takes to play for a club like Arsenal. Really simple stuff.

Arteta is more finished than Ozil is.

Auba is lacking confidence at the moment, but I can't hate on the guy, he has scored so many goals for us and has won us so many games in the past, yes he is having a dry spell but there is very little creation for him. He has been a wonderful signing for us, he will score again

don't hate him but don't love him anymore. It was the video that ruined it, was pathetic and then his performances have only proven how full of shit he was.

took the club to ransom and clearly would've left for Barca had they offered him the same wages. Nothing to do with wanting to be a legend, just a liar. Can't blame him for wanting to play somewhere better but then don't bs, that's all.

[EliteKiller]

Watched he game again and Auba was just awful, no question he's getting very little service but we put the ball in the box forty two times and he managed to get on the end of just two of those (neither with any authority) meanwhile Spurs got the ball in the box just five times and Kane got on the end of three of them.

Auba's problem is clearly loss of form and confidence, but it doesn't help that he won't run into space, won't move away from his defender, won't challenge in the air, frankly he's gone into hiding 23 touches every one a safety first option ... when as a striker you achieve 100% pass success with zero chances created you are simply not trying to make things happen.

Auba - 15 passes - 15 completed - zero KP's and zero chances created
Kane - 12 passes - 5 completed - one KP assist and three chances created

Auba - 2 shots - 1 blocked - 1 miss
Kane 3 shots - 1 goal - 1 blocked - 1 miss

You can argue that Auba isn't seeing much of the ball but yesterday Kane saw a whole lot less and managed to do a lot more .... that's not even counting Kane's superior defensive contribution.

I'm not praising Kane he is what he is, just pointing out that it's as much the effort not just the ability that set them apart yesterday.

Exactly that. Kane's numbers are sky high in every department, Auba usually just scores a lot of goals, but when those goals dry up, as they have now, he is literally of zero use to the team. You cannot say that about Kane or Vardy.

People laughed at Jayram when he said it, but you also can't say that about Ings either

This is why we should be playing counter attacking football. That goal Son scored was a similar to finish to Auba's Liverpool goal. A lot of space behind the team to run into. Not a congested box.

Thr manager has to give up trying to play possession football and higher up the pitch. We had Auba, Lacazette and Nketiah on the pitch yesterday and we weren't close to scoring. The build up play is too slow and not once did they face a situation like ours where there defenders were pulled out of possession and in a panic.

The numbers you're seeing from Kane is what we used to see from Auba last season. Shocking performance but Arteta can't continue to play football this way. He can bench Auba but where do you go from there playing this style of football? He's only ever scored 3 goals with his head at Arsenal.

[theHotHead]

Yup, we went to them, we should;ve sat back, crowded them out and hit them on the counter, the onus was on them to attack us, playing at home.

Arteta got schooled, the dyam fool !

[Jack The Ripper]

can anyone post the link too the video before the Spurs game? the one that everyone is talking about. I can't seem too find it, thank you

it would have been the dullest 0-0 of all time, but at least a point would have been possible.

Looks tired, bummed out and a bit depressed.

He needs to step up but so does the whole team. Wrighty was analysing the game on MOTD and they were showing multiple examples of our midfielders unwilling, or more importantly, incapable of finding a simple ball into the two strikers feet on the edge of the area but also that Laca and Auba were actively also directing passes out wide to the wings and not willing to make runs into the pockets of space that you would expect. Quite bizarre to see really. But no surprising as the whole team are far too passive.

[Santi]

Hadn't even seen that video, no wonder he's playing like shit when that's his body language and expressions. Looks like he can't be arsed and clearly the happy atmosphere is gone from the club, he was a big part of that so he will have a big impact on the rest.

Something is up beyond just some off performances or tactics, they are not a team and must be multiple camps in the squad.

Was originally talking about his 'I am legend' new contract video but this one says just as much.
