No I don’t think our slide offensively was down to him alone but he certainly was a large contributing factor. As poor as the midfield was playing Saka and ESR were getting chances and either creating or scoring goals prior to Auba’s drop. I agree though you can’t scapegoat him for all of it. Ode coming in also provided better service to the front 3 that Auba could of used. I just don’t think the fans went after him or the drop was unjust. But otherwise fair enoughSo you really think that our lack of creativity was mainly down to Auba? I’ll give you that Lacazette being in the team now has balanced out our play and he has done really well. I still don’t think Auba is main reason why we’ve failed to created chances, it’s was obviously a systematic issue as we’ve created chances in the past with Auba scoring 20+ goals in the PL, this isn’t Space Jam whereby he miraculously loses his ability overnight.
In terms of Martinelli, he wasn’t even in Arteta’s plans initially and very few on here were making a fuss about him starting games for us but now everyone seems to be on the bandwagon. Interesting
Anyways, I don’t want to repeat myself multiple times but I’ve already said I won’t be criticising players based on that game yesterday including that Martinelli miss as that’s the best I’ve seen us play in a while and we were cheated.
