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

[Bloodbather]

Imagine you lose you parent(s) when you're 19 year old footballer, and make a mistake in a game, and Arsenal fans (or opposition fans) will **** on you on social media and say you will never make it.

The first lesson to be taught to public figures is to stay out of social media engagement, or at least keep it to a minimal degree.

I do think people are learning to navigate it better, though. Even many "social media stars" aren't really engaging with social media to the extent we think they do.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

A lot of people do, which is sad/pathetic in its own way. Not just footballers either.

Well people should stop putting so much power into the hands of a bunch of trolls on social media, like why do you give a sh*t?

When are we going to know about his Covid test?

 

[TakeChillPill]

**** sake. Is my vpn not working? I set it to France!

I'm guessing since xhaka's form has picked up he no longer needs to employ you as his resident forum cheerleader.

Let’s give him time to sort his family issue.
We don’t need a limited poacher in the squad anyway.

59 goals and 13 assists in 102 Premier League matches. Unless you were displaying an ironic sense of humour, you must accept that ****e is prevelant in your posts.

At what point does he get stripped of the captaincy?

Should be thankful for Willian for taking all the bullets as he has been just as bad throughout the season and shows even less desire to have an influence on the game.

 

[Pop Tart]

He did nothing tbh same as laca. At the moment despite what auba has done for us and his career he has been shocking this season.

 

[GLITCH]

It's becoming hard to believe he hasn't checked-out mentally. Need to learn from Özil and now Auba situations, and not do it again.

He made some run but being ignored.

 

[ScotsGooner89]

He’s honestly pathetic. The man has no desire to be the guy to get you out of trouble. He’ll score a few here and there when team playing well but he’s not goi g to change the game when coming on. Complete waste of space after his substitution.

 

[novar]

Will get blame for no reason, you can't just get the guy that makes us play football out of the pitch and expect us to do well. That's not how football works

 

[TinFish]

He should never be bought again when chasing a game. Put Martinelli on instead. The guy offers nothing from the bench. Might fare a bit better starting a game - but as a sub hell no.

I genuinely forgot he was on the pitch till he fouled someone near the end. I just don't think he is effective in the central striker role. He is at his most dangerous when he plays off the shoulder of the full back waiting for that ball over the top he can run onto. He does not get them chances in a central position so he is immediately less of a threat.

People seem to think that because he often scores a lot of tap ins within the 6 yard box, that his best position is as a central striker and I dont get it. Sterling scores tap ins most weeks for city and no one thinks his best position is up top. Auba gets so many of those taps ins because he drifts in from out wide while the centre backs are focused on Laca.

He will not be a good PL central striker. He can’t manage the tougher central defenders. He needs space and therefore should be wide.
This is not the Bundesliga.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

He’s always been useless if he isn’t scoring goals, never been good at any other aspect. But scoring goals is important so I’ll always back him.

Nonsense.

 

[Tourbillion]

Not my type of forward at all. Offers zero when he's not being spoonfed.

Wish we could sell him but we've made our bed now. We love to burden our future with unmovable OAPs.
