And my feeling and reading his words are possibly his feeling is that from now on, they can only improve.
I think they are very good players and normally they should be on the pitch all three together.
All they are saying, I think they are all right.
When Jamie brought to the conversation the example of Liverpool, I understand exactly where he wants to go.
I think Aubameyang probably he likes to play on the middle because he feels that he's on the middle that he can score more goals.
but maybe he can score as much as goals playing on the left.
What happened in Liverpool is that Firmino drops back, drops in between the lines.
And then it gives more space for Salah and for ManΓ© to attack these diagonals.
I would see Aubameyang playing on that left side of Liverpool and scoring a lot of goals.
Arsenal, like I said, doesn't have that quality.
But they have two options.
One is to play instead of like today with three midfield players almost in a straight line.
is to play like they played in the last 10 or 20 minutes with two and one number 10 that can feed the three without bringing Lacazette in between the lines.
Another situation is very possible to bring
Pepe from the right in many occasions bring Pepe to the inside.
And many teams nowadays, they defend with the back four.
Not many, only the ones with a different vision.
They defend with four in the back, but they build with three in the back.
And by building with three in the back, they can put, for example, a right back completely wide, almost as a wing back, and bring the winger to the inside.
So if Pepe plays more on the inside, he can feed more that diagonal to, like I said, to do what Guendouzi did for the last goal.
