Basically, this season only Auba, Laca and Torreira have done their job. Every body else has malfunctioned including the manager. Should find a buyer for him ASAP.

You don't have to remind us in every thread how much you hate Unai. We get it, at least keep it in his thread.

Prior to today's game, no player has missed as many big chances as Aubameyang (17) in the Premier League.

We need to go back to starting games with Lacazette up front. It's not just the missed chances, it's the link up play. The striker has to have a high work rate, drop deep as well as be able to play off the shoulder.

Correct - and it looks like the two really good chances he missed today are not even included .. the PL obviously refer to sitters when they measure 'big chances'.

Lacazette is not a great finisher either as he proved again today. He's no better than Auba. BUT, he does indeed offer far more to the team in terms of work rate, holding the ball up and bringing other players in. He should be our number 1 choice for striker, with what we have in the squad.
Maybe use Auba as more of a sub to use his pace against tired players.

Lacazette is a good finisher. He just doesn't have a great left foot and he was forced on to his weaker foot for most of his chances today. But yes, overall, it seems as though the team tick more when he plays up front. We created more clear cut chances in the first half today than we have over the last few games. Goals will eventually come as long as we're creating quality chances and then the confidence will come back when in front of goal and we'll start being more clinical.

We'll not be more clinical in front of goal until we get a clinical finisher. It's not rocket science.
Neither Auba or Laca are great finishers. Both can score goals - Auba is more of an opportunist.. he'll be more often on the end of a pass to score than Laca will. Laca is more likely to scopre a goal from nothing or create his own chances. But I can't see how either can be relied upon to put the ball away when we really need them to.

We do however fully agree on Laca's contribution to the team - he does some excellent work. he reminds me a little of Dwight Yorke in terms of holding them ball and being difficult to shake off it.

Great finisher, I think Laca gives more to the team but Auba is way out in front as a finisher so its a double edged sword.

I think both of them would benefit from a striker on support who is natural at doing that, like we had with Giroud and Sanchez, or like Benzema did for Ronaldo for years or Firmino does for Salah.

They are both natural attacking players who like to score, so by fielding both, one of them has to do jobs hes not as natural at and suffers in front of goal because of this.

both would score even more if paired up with someone more suitable, if we play both up top with Ozil behind then we have no width so again double edged sword.

I have noticed lately that Auba seems to be always floating around the wings, right and left, especially when i watched the Bate match the other day, the fact we lack a winger and a support guy further forward means hes spending way to much time doing extra jobs (imo).

He is super talent so he can do these jobs, but i'd rather him playing as a poacher with other players on support, his pace is his strength so its kind of why hes forced out wide instead of laca i reckon.

They have a great friendship/combination but they are not a ideal pairing in functionality.
