what about the other games we won because of his goals :rubchin:Quote:

I don't suppose he missed on purpose, though.Quote:

Or our defence failing to focus after scoring (twice) at Old Trafford or conceding two pelanties against Palace.Quote:

He did a good job but, not a great one. All season commentators kept saying ‘Aubameyang, oh he doesn’t miss many of those’. What player were they watching? The guy misses 3-4 sitters in every game.Quote:

Utter, utter bóllocks, jtQuote:

What about that useless **** Bergkamp? His pitiful failure at Villa Park effectively gifted sir ****ex his treble. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory not only cost us the FA Cup but affected our title challenge which, to this day, I believe we would have won had we prevailed at Villa park.Quote:

Yesterday he was a missed sitter away from claiming that Golden Boot outright
Still pleased for him though
Despite that missed pelanty v Spurs in the last minute
I think 7 points from the last 7 games was probably more to do with itQuote:

The reality is that the two areas of the team that have not improved are the key causes of us not making the top 4. The away form and the goals conceded, aka the defending. These are the two areas where Emery has not made any improvements at all.
These are the areas you/we/Emery should be focusing on.
