Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: Black Panther

[Sniper Mik]

Think he'll also get to 100 goals fastest. Henry took 181 games I think. He's currently at 28 in just 44 games.

 

[Beast Incarnate]

It's actually incredible he has scored so many goals with all the chances he misses.

If anything it shows he consistently gets into goal scoring positions.

 

[TakeChillPill]

he's got world class pace and world class ability to be at the right place and timing his runs. everything else he's fairly average at. But then again there was Inzaghi who was terrible at everything but always seemed to be at the right place at the right time and got a **** load of goals.

 

[OnlyOne]

Genuinely think his pace is a myth sometimes.

Love him but sick of him dropping so deep.

 

[ksarp]

So he scores a penalty and murks up every where else and gets a pass today?

It is, the only thing he’s run faster than has been the ball a few times.

 

[Beksl]

Yes. He’s here to score goals.

 

[ksarp]

Yes. He’s here to score goals.

That is his sole responsibility?

 

[Beksl]

That is his sole responsibility?

Yes.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

18 goals in all competitions 30 games total and still 5 months left till the season finish if he hit 30 goals would be amazing return for him in his first full season with us

Some of us are not so miserable that we need to ***** and moan about our best performer this season after he scores in a victory.

 

[DasBootist]

I read somewhere that Aubameyang doesn't help out with the cleaning in and around the stadium.

All he's good for is scoring a respectable amount of goals...

Actually can’t believe what I’m reading here

City and Pool (and full strength Sp**s) aside I could think of a bunch of prem teams PEA would walk into today, and when I say a bunch I pretty much mean the rest of the league- what is this? lmao

You guys do know he’s lightning fast right? What pace are you waiting to see I’m confused

Not one for YouTube vids, but some examples of this guy leaving man for dead. Admittedly, penalty area seems to be crowded vs Arsenal usually but PEA pace being a myth is lies - do your research.

The list of strikers on Auba's level in the PL starts and ends with (vomits) Kane. Aguero is still excellent but in decline and not even a nailed on starter for City anymore in spite of Jesus really being nothing special at this stage. Firmino may be the better fit in Klopp's system but Auba is a superior player. For people who just sat through years where we had Chamakh and Giroud leading the line to actually be sitting here complaining about Auba who is at worst the joint best striker in the league is absolutely mental. Ok so he's not Henry. Nobody is. Van Nistelrooy often had quiet matches where "all he did" was score goals. Are there asterisks next to those titles he helped win United or does nobody give a f*ck? He scored, we won. Case closed.

 

[DasBootist]

He may not be classified as an out and out forward, but Salah is also on Aubameyang's level. It's going to be a tight one for the Golden Boot.

I completely agree with this.

Main reason why I struggle to say he should be starting for City and Pool is because they are obviously doing way better than us results and performance wise. Secondly like you touched on, Pep and Klopp demand a certain type of graft from their strikers that I am unsure PEA would suit.

I can’t think of a striker in the league and in many leagues I’d rather have tbh. He hasn’t always played as striker for us his well, so his stats are actually incredible - he’s (imo) somewhere in the realms of some of the best strikers we’ve had here. Not saying he’s Henry ofcourse but he’s definitely elite.

 

[RandomHero84]

People are moaning about Aubamenyang now?

I ****ing hate this habit that's formed in the social media generation of getting online and picking out the most negative possible perspectives. "he's almost top scorer but he's still ****".

Football is a game of infinite variables. For the first time in ages we have two top strikers. Why are we finding this so hard to enjoy? ****ing hate this generation of over analysis. "he's got to score that". "you can't miss those". "take away his goals and he's not a top striker."

He has kept us competitive during a difficult season. World class positioning and pace. Makes excellent use of his attributes.

Yes he's a great player. It's a shame he's started diving so much though. It really does spoil it for me.

 

[Macho]

Diving doesn’t bother me as much as it does a lot of people tbh. Think it’s part and parcel.

One of our players have the chance to go down in a must win game we’re 1-0 down with 10 mins to go and he does the honourable thing, I dunno how I’d feel.

Salah gets kicked in anyways and after CL final can you blame him? Another topic for another thread I guess.

 

[dka1]

Ahh yes the "all he does is score goals" argument as if scoring goals is not the most important thing in a football game (short of winning it).

We should just swap him for Giroud, cos clearly scoring goals consistently is soooooo 1999
