Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang under fire for Arsenal’s poor form but Willian is ‘getting away with murder’, says Gabriel Agbonlahor

Willian should be getting more criticism than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for his performances at Arsenal, talkSPORT has been told.

Aubameyang’s form this season has been a cause for concern with the forward scoring just two Premier League goals.

The last of his goals came from the penalty spot against Manchester United on November 1, and he now hasn't scored in open play in 807 minutes.

But Gabriel Agbonlahor, the former Aston Villa striker and talkSPORT pundit, believes that Aubameyang is not Arsenal's biggest under-performer right now.

He reckons the biggest disappointment for Mikel Arteta's side has been Willian, who joined on a free transfer from Chelsea over the summer but has yet to replicate the kind of form he showed at Stamford Bridge.

The Brazilian has no goals for Arsenal and three assists in all competitions - two of which came on the opening day of the season.

Agbonlahor said on talkSPORT Breakfast: “Aubameyang doesn’t deserve this criticism. For me, it’s more Willian. He’s come from Chelsea to Arsenal and Arsenal have invested a lot of money in his high wages and he’s not produced for them.

“He’s not getting assists and not even taking players on. Aubameyang, if he’s playing down the middle, he needs the service.

“If you look at other strikers in the Premier League they are getting those crosses in the box and those tap-ins and through balls.

“For me, Willian is getting away with murder and he’s just not doing it enough.”
