Andy Cole thinks Arsenal star produced his ‘best game’ for a ‘long time’ in NLD
that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang produced 🌟his 🅘“best game” for a long time last Sunday.
Aubameyang, 32, scored his fifth goal of the season for Arsenal in the North London derby. Thไe Gunners beat Tottenham 3-1 at The Emirates꧑.
The Arsenal skipper was ꧃criticised for much of last season – ever since he signed a new contract with the Gunners. Many th🐼ink he put his feet up.
But others argue that Aubameyang being playe🥃d from the left flank means he was being used out of position – often seen defending in his own half.
At 32, he needs to be up to💎p – using his limited energy to score. Cole thinks so, claiming Aubameyang p🦋roduced his best display on Sunday in a while.
“With Aubameyang, play him in his right position – he will score goals. But you can’t have one of your bes𒊎t players playing on the left, chasing ba🍨ck.
“You take away why you signed him. On Sunday, he played in his position. That was his best game for Arsenal for some🔥 time. He wants to do well.”
Cole on Aubameyang: Arsenal skipper climbing back to his best?
Aubameyang has adapted his game. Now at 32, he needs to conserve his energy – as aforementioned – and be intelligent eno𒐪ugh to use it wisely.
At Dortmund and in his early time at Arsenal, he still꧃ had the legs to chase the channels, hassle lost causes and win the ball back.
Now, he doesn’t do that🃏 – or he shouldn’t. He can initiate a press, but only when he has legs around him. On S💜unday, he had that.
The three behind him are a combined age of 6🎶3, in Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard a🦋nd Emile Smith-Rowe. They can help Aubameyang press.
But his best trait is his finishing. His goal on Sunday was a tricky one to finish; he made it look easy. Aubameyang is a different version,🏅 o꧟f himself.
