Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta told how to get best of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang amid struggles

The absence of a creative midfielder has led to a lack of balls being played forward past the opposition defences.

And Watford captain Troy Deeney believes it could be time for Arteta to change his approach in order to create more chances for the front three and get the best out of Aubameyang.

Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: “I’m starting to think, do they need to change formation to probably get Aubameyang in better situations?

“I know it’s very easy as we are pundits who sit here and watch and think we know everything about coaching, but he doesn’t seem to be getting in the same positions he once was and the goal threat he had before as well.”
