I am certain i could do a better job than you any day with this team. However lets not go down that route sir roids.
Playing two up front is never outdated, no tactic or system is. How effective a system is against a opponent is dependent on four main things : 1) Personnel available to you (2) the quality of the opposition (3) fitness of your team (4) Transition quality of both teams.
You don't employ the same tactics every game. Therefore Emery can employ a front 2 in either a 4-3-1-2 , 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 5-3-2, 4-1-2-1-2, 4-2-2-2. He has many variations to use, depending on the situation he faces.
Also not because fullbacks act as wingers these days means we should rely on Fb's to attack teams. In case you have not noticed Bellerin isn't very good at beating a man if he doesn't have space in front of him and often ends up passing the ball back to the player on his inside left looking for a return pass.
Too often our attack gets slowed down because we have not had traditional wingers. Thats why we went and got Pepe, we also have saka and nelson and martinelli who can play on the left side. We don't need to rely on the FB's to stretch teams anymore. What we need to have is strikers in the box or near it so that when the wingers (whether they invert or not) and FB's go marauding forward we have players to finish off the move.
The reason emery has not done it is because he's too chicken **** to do so. He's a coward in his approach play.
He has admitted that he likes to play with one striker to allow him the option of changing the personnel from the bench. Fair enough , but if you have two good players with good chemistry you play them together.
Imagine Ferguson going, i have cole and york but i will only play one. Wenger going... bergkamp and henry should not play together because well they are both forwards. This is such a rubbish viewpoint. You play your best players it is that simple.
Yes managers will have a system and each game is unique and what you need each game will differ. There will be times when he will want to have more midfield control and playing 1 striker makes sense. There will be times when he knows he won't have possession and setting the team up to counter will be his approach and thus he has to select the appropriate personnel for that to work. BUT TO SAY we should not play 2 strikers at all because it is outdated its just foolish and laughable.

God knows where we would be without him...

Terrible hot takes
Laca may not be Drogba or even Giroud Good BUT he is better at it than Auba
With Auba we are more limited to only play one way
Auba isnt bad at LW...

Never in a million years, I'd have this team competing while you'd be struggling in 17th figuring out how to play 4-4-2 in 2019.
You should play similar tactics most games, no one wants to see a different formation every game wtf.
Well that's just not true is it? Tactics have trends, back in the 90s/early 2000s it was 4-4-2 now it's some variation of 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 or whatever plays 3 midfielders and 3 up front.
Wenger did have Aubameyang and Lacazette, and benched Lacazette a lot of the time once he got Auba.
You have made made some fair points and I will give you credit for that.
So solve this problem:
Your main striker (PEA) can give you 20-25 goals in the league if played consistently and given good service.
Your other striker (Laca) can give you 15-25 goals if he gets games and service consistently.
Now striker 1 can play on either wings and up top, has speed and is an excellent finisher.
Striker 2 is primarily better centrally, does great hold up play and does not need service for all his goals, (some he just makes on his own and lashes them with incredible power at all angles).
Do you try to get both goal scorers in the team? Or do you play your main striker and not give your secondary striker enough game time to keep him fit and ready?
You can get more if both are on the pitch but it affects Auba's production IN THE CURRENT SET UP.Or you can only play one and lose out on the goals the other would provide.
As a solution perhaps in some games it might be useful to change the system to allow both to play together. You can try it for a few games and if it doesn't work then go back to what you were doing.

Laca had an injury in his first year here and that is documented. Auba came in when AL had just returned from injury, we still had giroud and once it was obvious we would have 3 main strikers, giroud wanted out and we were left with the two we have. one of which (AL) had not been fully fit.
All i'm saying is we need to get the best out of both of our strikers and emery is not doing it. PEA is amazing and i'm glad we have him in our team. I'm also glad we have Lacazette as well and we should support them both.

Amazing stats this season. He's currently averaging a goal a game in a team that creates few good chances. 7 goals from 10 shots on target.

Our team seem to think booting to him hoping he'll make something work is the way to play.
He gets injured and we're ****ed.

His goals have now won us 11 out of the 12 points this season. And that’s excluding the 2 goals against Watford where we drew from a winning position.
We need to sort that out. Especially with the attacking players we have

This guy is carrying us - he actually seems to care unlike some of our other players.

Reminds me of RVP in his last season here, just kick it to him hope he does something. Can't lie we don't even have a midfielder as good as Alex Song.

Business as usual.
If we could actually ducking play football his goal scoring could take us places.

Feel sorry for him tbh, should be getting better service but emery is a negative *****

Mr. Agreeable
At the moment it is because the manager doesn't have a clue.
He was average today but typical Auba finish calm and beautiful
A lovely finish tonight. He's doing his job and hopefully he'll be helped by the return of players currently injured.

He's having to drop deep to create his own chances.
