Yet if you want goals ............ he's scored more than all of them.
Also Salah is not a striker, and the other two are the best in the league, so you can't even mention anyone else in the prem but if he's not as good as those two = sh*t.
Your pathetic mate, Auba is burying you every weekend and your now just trying to talk your way out of it throwing up hail mary excuses.
As for the 3 I cared to mention.
Kane > Aubamayang (scores as many goals and is a world ahead of Auba in other areas of the game)
Aguero > Aubamayang
Salah > Aubamayang
As for other strikers? He is not as good as Laca, but right now is getting the main gig, so he's scoring. Even Adebayor scored goals in Arsenal's system.
So, if you argue Auba is decent, but not as good as the strikers we have had for the past 20+ years, then OK.
If you argue he is some kind of great player and world class, well that's just funny.
Pretending he is great is not going to make it true.
I will change my opinion when he plays well consistently - which I know is not going to happen.
I didn't even bring him up today - but every time he scores you feel the need to say 'hey look, he is good'. Who is it you are trying to convince? Where were you when Aubayang was absolutely shit against Spurs, Soton, Huddersfield and Utd - and didn't save his dire performances with a goal?
Sorry but most of this is just rubbish.
Have you seen how dire football in general is recently? You mention Kane, Aguero and a guy who isn't even a striker Salah. All three of them like Aubameyang flawed but seen is world class in this truly dog era of football.
Aubameyang can't dribble, his technique is good in the touch but rather erratic at times, he can't hold up the ball and isn't the strongest in regards to crosses, headers etc..If he was around 15 years ago he'd barely be seen as top class. I don't like Adebayor at all but if i do agree that he was at his peak abetter player than Aubameyang is not. However this is 2018! Football is a boring, robotic procession losing personality by the second so this is the best your going to get in this climate and he is the best in the league for me right now.
Its clear you played the 'grass is greener' card early with him after his bad start now since hes top scorer your having to backtrack and eat your words but instead digging a deeper hole rather than see where you went wrong.
We are 2nd top scorers in the league, if we had a decent defence we would be genuine title contenders, Aubameyang despite his flaws is quality , better than Kane who is a different type of striker who is better with the holdup play and has better strength to lead the line than Aubameyang can but i don't give a shit, no way i'd have Kane over Auba. Kane's technique is very average, not even near Aubameyang's level, his awareness upfront makes up for it like with Shearer but he's an example of a good striker who is world class in this dog era of football. My brother is a spurs fan and he says himself Kane isn't a true super human player, he's simply very effective. Also Kun Aguero, same thing, 'grass is greener' attitude, he has just as many flaws as Auba, you seen them for Argentina over the years and now and again for City, then you have Salah who isn't even a striker.
I have no issues with Aubameyang and Lacazette for that matter, bith real quality. Our issue is our defence and we have no proper wingers!!!!!
Please just stop digging yourself a bigger hole.
