Bros with due respect, how long have you been watching football? You can have TWO target men if you want.
Though for the case in question, Aubameyang prefers to play off a target man due to his superior pace and positioning.

As for Henry, agreed he has more skills than both strikers we have now, but generally your igwe was still average. Against Madrid at Benabeu, it was his pace that got him past the defenders rather than pure skills.
Igwe was average? Guy u no dey watch Ball. Na ratings u dey watch after match

Maybe Emery intends to slowly ease him into the team. In any case Torreira's performance so far should see him start games; but along with Xhaka in place of Guendouzi. The kid is very talented and has the potential to be a great midfielder one day but he lacks positional discipline at the moment.
seconded

If you must play two CF, then you should have flying wingers and two very good CMs with ability to defend and pass the ball effortlessly e.g Modric and Kante but you don't have such quality wingers in Arsenal so, playing 2 CFs is like harming yourself...
As for Henry's goal at the Bernabeu, it wasn't all pace as you think, it takes a special skills to move with the ball at pace, Auba has pace but he would struggle to score that goal every day...
You got it spot on. To play two CFs you need wingers. In fact, Wenger has used two CFs till he lost his senses. Henry-Bergkamp, Henry-Kanu, Henry - Wilford, etc.

But you can also use wingbacks.. this is modern day football.

I have always felt Emery should play a 3-5-2. It covers our strengths and weaknesses.

Fkhalifa can see that two CFs is possible.

As for Henry, I have never argued he isn't a better player than Auba. And the goal against Madrid was a beauty. But that is a one off. Even that was pace at work not skills.

He could pair with Guendouzi or Xhaka, but he needs to start.

I feel Emery is showing respect to Xhaka being one of his 5 captains. But it could cost him.

Xhaka is a decent player though in the right set up.

That is why I say play 352, let the wingbacks do the running while he sits to defend and pass the ball up, which he is quite good at.

That invicible team was a madt team, Each player in every position were top class,highly talented,mobile,strong and hard hearted...442 was perfect for them....

Our current crop of off sexy boys are far from it.

I agree 352 will suit Auba and laca., and it will be even better if either of them can be Henri like on the ball.

Özil has proven his class everywhere he has been. In fact, Mesut Özil remains the only player to have been the top assist provider in:
��Bundesliga
��La Liga
�������Premier league
�Champions league
�Europa league
�European championships
�World cup

Mr. Consistent

I saw the above on a watsaap GC, if the info there is true, don't we think ozil's criticism have gone over the bar?

I think the guys lack of pace and strength in him and around him makes him struggle in English football.

Only untrained eyes would ignore Ozil's contribution in a game.

Ozil typically is the kind of player that actually contributes little but those little contributions usually have huge significance.

Again one stat people especially Mumu pundits ignore is the fact that Ozil actually is among the highest in distance covered.

Never ever put Henry and Auba in the same sentence again. Ever and ever. Henry had everything. The pace, the skills, the finishing, the strength to go with it.

The closest we have had in terms of pure skill, consistency , technique and finishing after Henry has been RVP in my own opinion. None of the current crop we have as strikers is anywhere near what Henry was in his prime even when he went to Barca. He was LEGENDARY and that should be respected.

I never said Auba was as good as Henry. I only pointed out that both have similar play patterns in that they both depend on their speed and positioning. That was after we discussed having him pair Lacazette upfront, not as a winger but as CF. I wasn't even comparing the two. I was only looking at how both play the game.

Mind you, when a foolish boy wants foolish talk, I have loads of them to feed him with.
