Well said.AubaLaca is a great pairing. They can both play up front or put Auba on the left wing. Having them both in also forces the opposition to respect the attack more; give the two of them an inch of space and they'll peel the defense apart.
All I know is Pepe cannot be given up on yet. The kid is in a brand new league against much better competition. He needs time. Laca didnt light the world on fire either in his first year, but the guy is the best player on the team now (IMO, and for what 'best on Arsenal' is worth). Pepe's not to be judged until at least the end of the year, and even then it needs to be a weighed judgement.
However Pepe had an easy tap in today and goofed. Can't blame that on getting use to a new team/system. I'm definitely gonna give him the year, but Emry has at most till Jan before I go Emry out. The whole squad is healthy now so he needs to make better team selections and tactics.
