Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: From Thriller To Bad, Should He Just Beat It?

[Kav]

Really do think it's confirmation bias and not linked at all to his contract. Look at the fundamentals of our play. I'm not big on xG but... Auba doesn't contribute much at all in build up and so our drop off in xG is not due to him not playing well. We just aren't creating the chances for him to finish.

I'm not talking about Xg or any of that statistical nonsense. I'm talking about his actual contribution on the pitch. The man has limited skills sets but the few things that he is good at, he does them excellently.

However since the Contract renewal we have seen very little from him. Some of this is undoubtedly due to our general style of play this season and our overall ineffectiveness. That being said he's looked a shadow of himself.

Was happy when we signed him, was all with that, but to be totally honest when I saw him on the pitch for us I was stunned to see his goal scoring rate. It looked like overachievement and a purple patch to me, but could be wrong about that. He’s underperforming now but I think his true level is somewhere in the middle, not where he was before.

Another game, another sitter. Need to get him on the caffeine diet.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Sad to see him so out of sorts.

 

[Monstar-Gunn4r]

Definitely out of form, probably over thinking things, better signs in the last couple of matches including so far today, hes definitely putting in more effort and energy... hopefully it clicks for him soon.

 

[RandomHero84]

I swear he even looks different.

 

[El Duderino]

So good to see him smile again!

 

[El Duderino]

He never hid today, you could see he was up for it and that he was getting a goal in somehow.

The trick here is not to expect him to carry an uncarryable form when we’re not creating as a team.

We did better agains Newcastle, so he had and took the chances that came his way.

 

[<<reed>>]

Remember Arteta's football almost convinced everyone that Auba was finished?

 

[<<reed>>]

Give Auba more that one scrappy chance a game and he would score.

Who would have thought?

Pure maths.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Nice of him to finally show up.

 

[Jack_the_boy]

He’s back. First goal was a finish of confidence.

Whole team looked very happy for him.

 

[say yes]

It's been coming for a few games now. Been getting into all the right positions. Was never worried.

 

[novar]

Got a prize for not giving up, happy for him

 

[AberGooner]

Got some chances tonight and produces. Ok he missed a sitter but recovered well with that finish for the first.

 

[Ash10]

It was just a matter of time especially with his movement in the last few games. He's still the man if we are to do anything this season

 

[tap-in]

I was only saying earlier today that Auba is not in decline. When his pace goes then he'll decline. I hope this title gets changed now!

 

[RacingPhoton]

Auba getting into the scoresheet is important to us. 100% sure he will continue his form for the rest of the season.

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

You can't keep a great goal scorer down for too long.
