Pepe was directly involved in our 2 goals yesterday and people are still on smoke
Sp**s aside they’ve not been great and I’m sick of this forum pretending they are something that they are not, yet blaming one bit part player who perhaps rightfully doesn’t always start.So Saka and ESR are both crap! We heard it here, @Macho Oct 2021

It means this forum is absolutely full of sh*t.Makes you wonder tho, Emile Kill Flow thread hasn’t been bumped since Thursday does that mean he played well?

They don’t perform well, it’s their own fault just like Pepe. They are starters on grown man contracts and grown man squad numbers on their backs now.
Funny enough, everybody looked fine on international duty, but a lot of you are blind.
Yeah we have literally no idea how to attack, it's unfair to judge our forwards. People seem to want forwards like ESR and Saka who score/assist once every blue moon.Ian Wright was absolutely spot on about him in the pregame program.
He said that Arsenal are too slow in the build-up so he will always have two guys marking him and loses the ball.
He wanted then to pass to him early so he could have a run at the defense.
Which is still better than seeing all those awful performances from others with no end productLets be real here. We get a top tier coach in and Pepe wont survive the first 6 months under him. Just awful player with good end product if everyone is nice with him.
You know it's rough when Laca is fans favoriteYeah we have literally no idea how to attack, it's unfair to judge our forwards. People seem to want forwards like ESR and Saka who score/assist once every blue moon.
This always used to be the defence for Theo Walcott. It's annoying. It's not enough to show up in one or two moments but lose duels and possession 80% of the time. The net contribution is negative. Needs to double down on lunges because he really struggles with his balance. Watching the CL tonight and tomorrow is difficult because the gap in standards is obvious.Pepe was directly involved in our 2 goals yesterday and people are still on smoke
I said it before and I'll say it again, a quick look at my messages will tell you that I always defend Pepe and hate Artetaball, so your argument about coming here to bash players is worth nothing.One of us has to learn something, it's either me who has to learn that "he should ride the bench" or it would be you who needs to understand that it's not a coincidence that all of our players are just ****e at the same time, and we have some very good players constantly underperforming.
Pepe on his bad day still sets up a goal, and there's only a couple of players in the league who will make a shot like that from that angle.
The rest of your comment is pure garbage, there were so many times he would make a run this season but midfielders would ignore him (ESR was the obvious one), but you still come up to say he is being static. He was tracking back constantly but you still come up with rubbish that he doesn't. The team as a whole doesn't press but you still pick him for some reason.
I agree with one thing with you, he didn't offer much in the build up, but I knew that since day one and you still struggle to understand him as a player after 2 years of watching him.
You and some other guys come here frustrated from Artetaball and our poor results and Pepe is always your go to guy to release your frustration without using your brain for 2 seconds. Some of you lot come here to stink the place even when he is on the bench, just because you are frustrated. I'm frustrated as well, I could go on now and write ****e about Auba, Ode, Partey, ESR, Lokonga, or whoever, they were all dreadful, but it's just pointless and wrong. Unless you can't find a connection there, there's not much to talk to you about I'm afraid

Knowing his limitations; I'd like to see him used more as an out and out attacker. Arteta's obsession with positional play doesn't help at all.
True. @Macho has a good point tbf after reading some of the dreadful posts from the usual culprits in here it’s actually got me wondering whether people know how to analyse a players performance without any agendas. I remember last season, I got hate for saying Xhaka performed better than Partey but I only posted what I saw on the pitch.

The Ivory Coast international lost out on 13 of his duels, and failed with five crossing attempts and five dribbles, while he also lost possession of the ball on no fewer than on 22 separate occasions in the match, the most out of any of his teammates to have set foot on the pitchPepe's left foot is a gem, he has great technique and shooting but you need more than that.
You see some boys with great technique performing street art in the middle of Paris as well, doesn't make them a good football player.
I don't know what to make of him, he is so easy to play against and if you can stop him from shooting with space he isn't threatening at all. I am not even sure if another manager can make him better here

Even if he’d scored a hat trick this would be annoying. The whole point of this mundane approach play of ours is that we have more of the ball and therefore more control. We absolutely cannot do that if we can’t make the ball stick up front and move further up the pitch as a team.
Pepe has been poor overall this season but ESRs “issue” was all down to himself. This isn’t an isolated incident either, there’s a whole thread.I think part of ESR's issue tonight was not having Saka on the right.
