Kevin Campbell thinks Chelsea’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pretty invisible during the Sunday loss against Arsenal.
Aubameyang, 33, didn’t enjoy a happy reunion with his former club over the weekend.
Chelsea, who look well off the pace right now in the Premier League, were beaten 1-0 at Stamford Bridge by Arsenal.
The Blues have done very well to safely navigate their way into the Champions League knockout rounds, but it’s now four games without a win in the league. As a result, Graham Potter’s side are seventh in the Premier League table.
Aubameyang against Arsenal
There was a lot of focus on Aubameyang going into today’s London derby.
Unfortunately, the Chelsea centre-forward couldn’t carve out clear goalscoring opportunity and was substituted off during the second-half in place of Armando Broja.
Sky Sports pundit Campbell described Aubameyang as “anonymous” against Arsenal.
However, he did feel he wasn’t helped in the slightest by his teammates.
“Aubameyang needs service. If you are a striker, you need service. We all know that. I just didn’t see where the service was coming from today. That’s why he was anonymous,” Campbell told Sky Sports News (6 November, 2:06pm).
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink claims Aubameyang didn’t get a lot of help from Chelsea’s players against Arsenal.
It was a match where none of the Blues forwards were able to burst into life and put Aaron Ramsdale’s goal under any kind of pressure.
Aubameyang should be able to score goals at a decent rate if he gets a handful of opportunities around the penalty box, but there’s still big question marks around the forward line as a creative force.
