DBasia.news – Arsenal have no point yet after the defeat in Premier League two beginning matches. Targetting the first point, manager Unai Emery gave the hint to play Pierre-Emerick Aubamewang and Alexandre Lacazette at the same time.
Since taking over Arsenal from Arsene Wenger, Emery chose to play with the main striker supported by two wingers and one playmaker. But this time, Emery will make an alteration.
Emery said it’s possible in the next match to place Aubameyang and Lacazette as the twin strikers. So far, if both players on the pitch, one would be the winger.
“At the moment, I think we need to have the control with the possession, with the positioning on the pitch, with more players inside,” Emery said reported by Goal.
“But it is one possibility to continue our progress and in one moment to try also to play with two scorers. In the last match of the pre-season, against Lazio, I did it with (Alexandre) Lacazette and (Eddie) Nketiah. They know that in one moment we can do that,” Emery continued.
Lacazette and Aubameyang’s luck since joining Arsenal seemed different. Lacazette performed well in the beginning but got stuck. Currently, the player recruited from Olympique Lyon scored 17 goals from 41 matches.
In contrary, Aubameyang stole the spotlight with his impressive performance since coming from Borussia Dortmund last season. Aubameyang was more productive than Lacazette. He made 10 goals from 16 matches or 0,63 goal in average.
Seeing their beloved club have two tough strikers, most of the supporters ask The Gunners play Aubameyang and Lacazette as the twin strength. If Arsenal don’t gain the positive result, Emery might agree to the fans.
