I completely agreed with bringing Iwobi on but baffled with Laca coming off
Auba was very quiet 2nd half it should have been him
Laca is a better all round striker than Auba.
Trying to keep him fresh for the knockout rounds of the champions league....................
Oh yer, never mind!
Not the only one who questions this as you can always hear the crowds frustration when his number comes up.
He never comes off looking tired either so I'm not sure what Emerys logic is?
Aubameyang shouldn't play upfront alone imo, unless it's off the bench when the opposition is fatigued while he's fresh.

Maybe because today we were sitting deeper and deeper in second half, so he kept Aubameyang on for the outlet ball, and also to keep Chelsea from pushing too high up as they’d always be concerned about his pace. But I agree it’s a bit frustrating he’s taken off in certain games

Yea this was definitely the mind set but Auba was quiet in the 2nd half and Laca was easily our most threatening player, definitely should have played the full match
It wasnt Laca going off that meant we "lost that spark". It was because Ramsey went off.
Hold on bruv, i'll just message him and get back to you when he responds
He runs a lot. Maybe Emery thought he was knackered.
Only thing I can think is that Auba was working hard on the flanks. You could see the number of times he got back.
I don't like how negative we went after the first goal. Gave Chelsea complete control, they probably would've equalised if they had a striker.
Maybe Emery has a grudge towards Lacazette and Ozil just like Sarri has towards CHO and Emerson.
Alas we won
-------
Why is it bad that we won???
------------
The team looked like we were going to score a few more goals with Lacazette on the pitch. As soon as we took him off we lost that spark and allowed Chelsea to gain a little more momentum, putting us on the backfoot.
----------
I would say that had more to do with Bellerin going Off, the winger just brought on going to RB and Elneny coming on. But each to their own.
Yesterday Lacazette’s agency tweeted something like "is that one subs too many?" With the hashtag #byebye.
It's clear that they are not impressed by the way he has been managed so far
Lacacette is too important for us to let him play fully 90 min in a game we looked relatively comfortably.
We have only two strikers available. Cant have him injured.
Not at all surprised about Lacazette's subs. Lacazette is an amazing worker. He presses very well and defends. That simply means he tires after 60/70 mins. Aubameyang on the other hand is taller and far more likely to hold the ball up and is stronger in the air. Its an option we have missed since Welbeck was injured. Tactically Auba stays more central and makes runs of a 'traditional' striker.
