Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has fired back after he came under criticism by some Arsenal fans for his performance in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City.
The general theme appears to be that Aubameyang being slammed by some for some apparently less than impressive performances after the 31-year-old signed a new contract with the Gunners.
As per the Independent, the Arsenal captain’s three-year deal is worth around £250,000-a-week, with Aubameyang yet to score since penning the new terms.
The centre-forward was fairly quiet in the defeat to the Citizens, with Aubameyang also being slammed for laughing and talking with former teammate Ilkay Gundogan after the game.
Aubameyang has now shared a snap from a training session captioned with “A lot of bla bla, at the end we speak as usual” to his Instagram story.

It’s clear that Aubameyang hasn’t exactly been at the centre of things as much as he used to be in recent matches, but some of the criticism towards the star is unwarranted.
The Gabon superstar did bag an assist in the narrow win against West Ham, whilst also playing a hand in the goals against Sheffield United.
It may be that the star being quiet in the defeats to rivals Liverpool and City has brought on some of this treatment.
Aubameyang will have the chance to get his confidence back if Mikel Arteta decides to use the ace in the Gunners’ Europa League tie on Thursday night against a respectably weaker side in Rapid Wien.
Ajbameyang shouldn’t have signed a new contract and willian should not be a regular starter, and I think it’s high time the players should be benched including (Aubameyang), he is not the same person I used to know, we are now comparing him with the likes of martial
Y are fans doing diz…how can a striker perform wen he sees less of d ball in d final third… Blame ur defensive minded midfielders n tactics.
After all we all know that the assist king need to bell Auba out of this mess with his perfect timing and killer passing in the fianl third. But Auba should speak out that “THE GIVE OZIL CHANCE” i for one i pronounce “GIVE OZIL A CHANCE” we need to compete, we defend well, we keep hold of the rythm and we only need penetrating passes……TeamOzil
No OZIL no party ?? only criticism
Its true.play him.William can not compete ozil.arsenal don’t have any better no. 10 than ozil
Ozil is the solution to arsenal problems…..the moment arteta realises that…,he will be good to go
We need ozil back
We had and still have some very tough fixtures, so we needed and still need Auba to resurrect his usual level of excellence. We got some big away games wee too early and things are a bit uncommon right now. But I fully expect Auba to shake off the dust before beginning his usual onslaught toward the golden boot category.
Just wanna add, how much is every-body!! loving Gabriel Magalhaes. We done well getting him over before the big CL clubs went and stole him on us. We have a bit of steal in this team, a fair bit after this summers signings.
