It’s a wonder he’s got so many goals with no wingers, midfield or creative attacking midfielders behind him.
He must be some sort of ****ing magician.

This weird notion won’t be gathering... pace. He’s super quick. He’s proven it on numerous occasions this season.Barely shown any pace at Arsenal.
Maybe off the ball sometimes. But has he done it on the ball? He's not even half a Thierry in that regard.This weird notion won’t be gathering... pace. He’s super quick. He’s proven it on numerous occasions this season.
No, he’s more a chaser than a dribbler tbf. He’s quick with the ball at his feet, but he’s vulnerable to defenders who are pretty quick. He’s got quite a big stride with a high knee lift. He’s no Henry is that regard. Henry was not only lightening, he was s strong runner with the ball. He’d keep his cadence even if a defender made contact. Auba will get unbalanced and lose speed.Maybe off the ball sometimes. But has he done it on the ball? He's not even half a Thierry in that regard.
Have to admit, i can see why @Tourbillion disagrees. He hasn't really showcased his pace at all.No, he’s more a chaser than a dribbler tbf.

Yes, which was a very rare occasion this season. I see he did have sinus infection and this may play a part but I just haven't seen him really use his pace as an outright weapon for destruction of defenders.Did you not see his goal against Watford? If that’s not showcasing his pace **** knows what is.
It depends what people define as speed on a football pitch. He is clearly a very fast runner and if he’s put through on goal he’ll be long gone. If somebody plays a decent pass into a channel with space in front of him for him to attack he will go clear with the ball and it’s a case of him either come inside in shooting or square one up. If he’s got space in front of him his speed is much more of a weapon. I can’t recall anybody beating him in a foot race with a ball in front of him. I’d be happy to see any evidence of him being beaten in a level start foot race.Yes, which was a very rare occasion this season.

Look, I'm not suggesting he isn't fast. He clearly is. My problem is that we haven't been shown that pace too often. Now that may not be all down to Auba... If Xhaka isn't spraying balls up to our runners, who is?It depends what people define as speed on a football pitch.

Very true. We're creating virtually nothing direct from deep positions anymore.We don’t really play through balls though we’d rather go backwards and play passes back and forth going nowhere
Definitely agree with this. But would add that if we are bogged down in our half with few chances I have no problem playing hoofball to secure a point or snatch 3 in an away game...Not saying lump it up all the time but balls over or through balls should be used more as we have his pace. And before some of you say we don’t have any creative mids, at EPL level any player should be capable of picking a decent through ball
I understand your frustration but he's also won us vital points this season.If this guy didn’t miss when it matters we would have had top 4
Vital for what? EL qualification?I understand your frustration but he's also won us vital points this season.
If he wasn't for his goals this team would've even be in a race for 3rd/4thVital for what? EL qualification?
