One stat which underlines Auba's massive dip in form this season

If, like us, you were trying to locate Aubameyang on the pitch as Arsenal were inching closer to the inevitable Leicester loss, the Gabon international was conspicuous by his absence only.

Given that it's not the first time Auba has seemingly gone missing on the pitch during a league game this season, we've decided to check his xG (expected goals) number for the first 6 games.

Lo and behold, the striker is behind a bunch of defenders from other teams, some of them are not exactly Trent Alexander-Arnold or Lucas Digne too.

This is genuinely shocking. Yesterday Auba wasn't helped by an unfamiliar position on the right wing of course, but there were 5 games before that where he was just as invisible.

Auba is behind Willian, Bukayo Saka and even Eddie Nketiah - who didn't see a lot of action in the league this season. We are sincerely hoping Pierre rediscovers his mojo, otherwise the season can get worse before it gets better.
