Aubameyang really needs to get more involved in the build up.

Aubameyang isn't the type of player who will hold the ball up, win the ball back by pressing from the front, link play with the other midfielders/wide players or create dozens of chances for others out of nothing (like van Persie could) . His passing and ability to carry the ball forward isn't all that, in my opinion. But he makes excellent runs in behind defences and knows how to create space for himself in the penalty area. He knows where to position himself, which is why he gets so many goalscoring opportunities.
He's the best finisher we have in the squad, despite some of his mishaps in recent weeks.
Scored the winner today and should have had an assist too, were it not for Mkhitaryan's lack of composure.
The only minor criticism from today is that he sometimes drifts too far wide. Maybe he does that to drag defenders out of position and wants someone from midfield to run into the space he vacates, but like I said, he's the best finisher we have. As Lacazette was injured, we had no-one with Auba's positional sense or poaching abilities when he wasn't in the box. This was more of an issue in the first half than the second half, though. Part of which was because Kolasinac kept meandering in and out of position at LWB.

He's so much better playing LWF imo

Missed a couple of sitters though. Should have 12-15 by now instead of 8 only. Mikhi shows lack of confidence. He needs to regain his Form if we intend to make it into the top four and win a cup or two.
