Agent Barkley with  another aasist!

Great performance 

Barkley is a good example when he plays for a small club he’ll thrive in the moment

[Milan 17,881]

Barkley - probably one of the most important Chelsea players this season  Helped Villa beat Liverpool and Arsenal, scored a winner against Leicester  

[Jase 43,479]

We have the joint-second best defence in the league!  

[LAM09 6,849]

Barkley impressed against Liverpool & doing the same tonight.

[Milan 17,881]

I have been wondering a long time about this - why is Auba wasted on the left wing? Was not he a deadly striker just a few months ago?

[Jase 43,479]

This season is making no sense whatsoever...

Strangely enough, he has been playing there for Arsenal for majority of the time since he arrived. He managed to score an abundance from that position last season but this season just not up to it. Lacazzette is regressing badly and I think they need to go with Aubameyang up front more.

By the way, there's Liverpool v Leicester and Spurs v Man City immediately after the international break...

Pretty sure he played more centrally last season? 

[Jase 43,479]

Arsenal have also not scored from open play in the league since Oct 4...

Nope. They have always more or less played with Aubemyang left wing and Lacazette up front. Initial stages of last season yes, but 3/4 of last season, Aubemeyang has usually started primarily on the LW.

In another somewhat related Arsenal news, Emery has Villarreal sitting 2nd in La Liga right now.

I mean let's face it if he had any ambition, he would not have signed that contract, but money speaks, I can't see how Auba is content to play LW every game. This season he just looks like, 'fuck it, I got my paycheck, why bother'. Today is not the only game he has been limited to no shots on goal.

Speaking of money...

I hope Arsenal win the league cup so it keeps Arteta in a job longer!
