Auba’s not droppable. Should be dropped based on performances but can’t be dropped due to being the captain, talisman, most prolific player, biggest character in the dressing room and popular with fans. Arteta will drop Martinelli for Auba if there’s no other choice. Alternative would be playing Martinelli on the right and moving Saka elsewhere. I think we’ve seen that Auba up top is not working. Point is, if it’s between Auba and Martinelli for a starting spot it will have to be Auba.
Martinelli’s style isn’t kind to the hamstrings you’re right.The club desperately needs Aubameyang to get some confidence to score again instead of pretending this kid won't get tired and injured from brainlessly chasing the ball like a dog.
Does Martinelli make our strongest 11 on paper?
Assuming ESR and Saka keep their spots and everyone’s on form.
Is it right to bin club captain for Martinelli? Cause I’m not sure Auba works upfront in this team and only one of Auba and Gabby goes on the left.
Serious question not trolling.

He will learn though, Rooney was a little bit like that and as he got older he got a lot more efficient with his movement.
People like to see it, but it’s not very realistic.
Not really. The truth is Auba does not contribute much apart from goals and when he goes on a dry run this aspect of his game is highlighted even more. Auba's main weapons are his pace and his composure when it comes to goal scoring but I cant remember the last time Auba left a defender in the dust with his pace. Martinelli on the other hand is an energizer bunny. Constant threat to defenders with his pace, movement, skill. Its not a coincidence that we have looked much better in an attacking sense since Martinelli came back into the team.For Martinelli to start over Auba, he has to play with the consistency level of a world-class player. He has to start scoring goals and assists in the EPL, keep pressing hard and participate much more in the game (even if contrary to the order of Arteta), otherwise he will not win the position, because Auba yes or no is a player of immense quality when on fire.
Martinelli pressing success rate was on line with the most forwards last season, the difference is that he was much more intense there.
If on the one hand perhaps goals and assists are undoubtedly more tangible results for an attacker, great volume and quality of defensive actions are probably no less significant in the impact of the matches, and of course, indirectly, give the team valuable expected points.
Today an attacker has to be a good defender.

Once Aubameyang starts scoring goals again (he will because he is generally a good player for Arsenal just in bad form) it will be very difficult to get him out of XI, especially since they are players who play similarly and have the same strengths.
Auba cannot be dropped. That would send completely the wrong message and would be disastrous for Arteta. Martinelli would have to make do with coming off the bench.
It would send the message that players who do not perform do not get to play. How is that a bad message? Starting Auba ahead of Martinelli would be the move that sends the wrong message.
