3) Aubameyang can’t impact big games as a number nine

Aubameyang

When playing through the middle, Aubameyang relies on turning defenders towards their own goal and getting in behind, but he was well marshalled by Ruben Dias and John Stones.


As a result, he barely got a touch during the whole game, and his inability to hold up the ball meant Arsenal were unable to get out when they were pinned back by City.
