Not like for like - most of aaronson’s appearances have been as a 10. Aaronson is a better presser and does more off the ball work. Gnonto is better with it. For the record I think both have done reasonably well this season. It’s easy to blame the wide men for not delivering but if you’re keeping it tight with 3 midfielders they don’t always get great service. FWIW I think Emu’s boy Okafor has looked promising and earnt the starting place on the left for now. Gnonto can play both sides so it may be that both now are in competition.
Sometimes there can be no logical reason for liking or disliking a player. Every factual piece of evidence says I'm an idiot for liking Mes as a goalie and every time someone pointed out any of his many faults, I'd be in full agreement, but I just can't help liking him. Aaronson to me, is the weakest player in the squad. Whilst I understand his high work rate, for me he's not someone who gets the blood rushing when on the ball, which is maybe fine as a central midfielder, but not as a forward line player. I quite like Gnonto, unfortunately I feel he's better suited to playing on the left than the right, but for the last 3 seasons, there has always been someone ahead of him in that position, so he's had to fit in to positions where we don't see him at his best.
