Arsenal's league record this season is sluggish, currently ranked 14th in the Premier League, indeed the worst ranking in recent seasons. Recently Arsenal celebrity Paul Merson in an interview with the Daily Star openly expressed his disappointment with the team, in addition to criticizing the captain Aubameyang.
This is because Arsenal previously extended Aubameyang's contract with a high salary and also put all their hopes on the captain, counting on him to lead the team to win honors this season, but now he can't even make it to the top ten. Aubameyang's stats are not high this season either, with the big man scoring a total of four goals in all competitions and two in the league.
Merson said that the Arsenal team is changing this season, with several core performances, in addition to the manager's scheduling problems. He opined, "Arteta is suffering at the moment because a number of core players in his side are not stepping up to the plate and that is a big problem. Willian has not put in a good performance at all and seems to be going through a nightmare. And Aubameyang is simply possessed, he has done nothing for the team so far.
The Arsenal star added that it is the big names in the team that are needed to give their best performance when the team is not doing well, but Arsenal are not doing that. Aubameyang has been too relaxed after his contract extension and his performance is not worthy of the salary. Before this round of matches, Arsenal manager Arteta, on the other hand, said that he wants to get a change by beating Tottenham Hotspur, which is the best scenario.
