Aubameyang Would Be Better If in Liverpool

 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is still diligently scoring goals despite playing more wide. Jose Mourinho thinks Aubameyang's style is better at Liverpool now.

Aubameyang has been playing a lot more recently. Arsenal manager Unai Emery did that to accommodate Alexandre Lacazette to the starting eleven 4-3-3.

Despite playing wide, Aubameyang has not lost his sharpness to score against opponents. So far he has packed three goals, one goal ahead of Lacazette as the target man.

Aubameyang has admitted that he prefers to play as a center striker, but he is happy and enjoys his new role.

"I think Aubameyang might like to play as a center (striker) because he feels that he can score more goals. But maybe he can score a lot of goals when playing on the left," Mourinho told Sky Sports.

"What happened in Liverpool, (Roberto Firmino) is slightly back. Then he gives more space for (Mohamed) Salah and (Sadio) Mane to stab diagonally," he continued.

"I can imagine Aubameyang playing on the left side for Liverpool and scoring a lot of goals. At Arsenal, Lacazette doesn't have that quality (gives room)," Mourinho insisted.
