I’m confused when so many Arsenal fans, pundits and commentators fail to make a bigger deal out of this. The player himself, even.
Auba has outscored every single player in the PL since his arrival as at the end of last season playing mostly through the middle but out wide on occasions.
He’s basically a speedy, elite poacher. For whatever reason though Arteta’s hell bent on turning him into Dirk Kuyt. Our one reliable source of goals.
Nobody’s saying he has to play through the middle in every single game but Arteta won’t even entertain it as a plan B or C. It’s bizarre.
