Already an Arsenal legend I heard?
?
Thought we're passed this CF rubbish thing, he's not good through the middle in this league.
Needs to be through the middle. He's going to get found out more often from the left this season.
I see him scoring a max of 15 goals.
We're not creating enough chances
Too many excuses made for him. Admit that he’s been crap. First it’s he should play down the middle, despite the fact that he ends up on the middle anyhow and has got most of his goals from the left. Then it’s chances not being created for him. Well he’s been played the ball when in good positions but has been wasteful.
Do you think Salah and Mane need their midfielders to create chances for them? They play wide and they make chances themselves. We need Auba to do the same for us. I’m having Özil ptsd but I pray that it’s not the case and he goes on a scoring run soon.
Two things can be true simultaneously. He's been poor but the team also has not gotten him the ball which is shocking given how clear it is that he's the match winner. Arteta is not doing him any favors at the moment. Teams were always going to adjust to us hoofing the ball out to him in space and it doesn't help when the players we have centrally don't warrant any fear or respect from the CBs. Now as to your absurd point about Mane and Salah who are entirely different players, having the 2 best ball playing fullbacks in the league pinging inch perfect passes to them for 90 minutes is hardly creating chances by themselves.Too many excuses made for him.

Huh?
Those are their best positions.
They are skilled dribblers/ball carriers. Auba isn’t. He’s a kick and rush centre forward. Henry at Juventus v Henry at Arsenal. Eto’o at Barca v Eto’o at Inter.
Compare their stats. The positions are not simply interchangeable, especially for a 32 year old as is explained here about the change in his role;

Liverpool have Firmino in the middle. They have no creative players in their midfield at all (until Thiago recently). Salah and Mane are able to create chances for themselves in ways that Auba is struggling to.
Auba is getting the ball in wide positions and I’m expecting our star man to do more with it.
He gets the ball in a wide area he needs to try cutting inside and taking shots. He’s not taking players on enough for my liking. We know he’s capable.
He gets it wide in deep areas. Our team defends deep. He isn’t going to dribble 30 yards past 3 defenders and score. He gets on the end of passes and shoots, right now he’s the one having to make those passes for people like Willian and Nketiah. It’s ********.
Left wing thing only works if we actually have possession and create chances.It would be funny if he drops off a cliff just like Özil after signing his extension.
And by funny I mean soul destroying.

he went through a similar drought last season, still ended up with 22 PL goals...not worried about him at all, Laca/Pepe/Willian are far bigger problems
