Chelsea striker Aubameyang branded 'liability' and 'embarrassing'

Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's below par performance against Arsenal has earned him fresh criticism.

The Gabon striker has been a shadow of his old self in the Premier League this term.

Arriving in the summer from Barcelona, he has failed to make any impact with the Blues.

Ex-Chelsea man Craig Burley had a go at Aubameyang this week.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should not wear a Chelsea shirt again, he should not even be allowed to the training ground," Burley began on TV.

“It wasn't [about a lack of] service — he walked around for 45 minutes. It's embarrassing.

“Quite frankly, if I'm on the bench and I'm not playing because of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, what is that telling me?

“I'm thinking about a different sport. He doesn't care, he's a liability. It's embarrassing."
