I wonder how important that penalty aubameyang let lacazette take in the Stoke game has been to his confidence and feeling of camaraderie between himself and the new striker rather than feeling threatened by him and fearing an even greater lack of game time. It could also prove to be massive in the grand scheme of things. He had played 25 minutes in the 5 games previously and has now scored 6 in 6 since. Aubameyang was criticised for not being selfish and maybe epitomising a characteristic that we have lacked to kill off teams by not claiming a hat trick. But as our most important striker in the europa league lacazettes form and confidence are essential. i'm grateful aubameyang didn't take the easy route to personal glory with what would of been a pretty meaning less goal in the context of that match except for gaining him a match ball and took a decision that might be exceptional in the grander scheme of things.

Eden, I have been very impressed with aubameyang since he arrived especially when he was supposed to be full of baggage. The pair appear to work well. Since that penalty auba has assisted laca twice. As it stands now we look a better team than we were with Sanchez going forward.
