Unlike Lukaku, Aubameyang had some early chances to kill the game yesterday but he chose to return the pass to the likes of Sterling & Havertz in an attempt to assist a goal instead.

Orsic scored the only goal of the game last night as Dinamo Zagreb inflicted a shocking defeat on Chelsea on UCL opening day. Tuchel in the post-match conference said everything is going wrong for Chelsea at the moment.
However, Aubameyang had the following numbers yesterday: he played 59 mins, didn’t attempt any shots, didn’t completed any dribbles, made no key passes, committed 4 fouls, don’t win any fouls, won 1 out of 9 ground duels, and completed 1 out 4 attempted cross.
This statistic is not a good one for Aubameyang and it shows why he might have a Lukaku career at the club. Recall that Lukaku last season scored 15 goals and provided 4 assists for Chelsea in 44 games and Aubemeyang might have a replica this season if he is not careful.
