Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: Black Panther

[Giroud12]

Now can we stop debating whether or not he´s world class??

He'll never be world class, only scores tap-ins against relegation teams.

Gabonian Walcott, you might say

Harsh on Walcott.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Our best striker!

 

[Ceballinhos]

I feel like most top CFs have a tendency to get found offside often.

that's because it's Auba's game to play with the offside trap.
He might get offside a few times but when he's on it's a goal opportunity since he's so fast.

 

[Gunner140]

Stunning performance from Auba with two goals and two assists. I think he was our best player on the pitch and we won because of him.

Oh my days what a ****ing tweet.

 

[El Granit-Coq]

Oh my days what a ****ing tweet.

We have some huge personalities at the club. Credit to both Wenger and Emery for making the next few seasons entertaining to watch.

 

[ThlRama]

Very clever player. What a game he had today! And I bet Emery is coaching him to receive tricky long balls in the role he played today.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Since he's joined he's done exactly what was expected of him to do, the guy just lives to score goals. He also keeps defenders on their toes and is a great outlet to have. I think it's a minority but it amazes me that there's a few that have been unimpressed by him with remarks about him only scoring tap-ins and the fact that he hadn't scored in a "big game" prior to today. Well he certainly shut up people in both of those regards today.

And last week I said he's a really average finisher ffs

Yeah, first of all his all-round game has always been criminally underrated on here. I mean, it usually isn't amazing or anything, but compare his all-round performance today to Kane's for example... And Kane is considered a somewhat (or even quite) rounded striker. Pierre is capable of big things, and glimpses of it can be gotten even if he doesn't play that well. Today he carried us in an attacking sense.

I love his tap-ins. Shows me that even when his pace declines, he’ll still be a monster. Its his movement and positional awareness that are his biggest assets and you won’t lose that with age.

 

[ThlRama]

With Auba you can be greedy: He scores and you feel like it's nothing, you want more, you scream for more inside of you right after he scores. He's that kind of player.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

His second goal was supremely Henry-esque.

 

[SuperGoon]

His second goal was supremely Henry-esque.

Sadly, I do not think he will be gifted that much space again.

 

[Aevi]

This was all well and good but he's yet to score against a big team.

 

[yybecause]

that goal... while 2-1 down... the idea, the courage, the execution, just wow
