Ugh why does every Arsenal player have confidence issues and is a softie? We need tougher players this isn't a charity.

But he has shown all of those things aside from the quick thinking bit. He just has been very inconsistent with it. That is why I said flashes of brilliance.
His touch has varied from immaculate to very sloppy. As for the vision didn't he create most of our chances when he was a regular starter? Again he has been wildy inconsistent with that, supplying Laca with a neat assist against Sp**s but then messing up a counter attack in the next game because he didn't spot a simple pass.

And not like it is a new problem. We've been the 'soft team' for years now. Sick of it. Brings with it soft cry babies who cry online in forums

They don't have confidence issues, people just love using "he lacks confidence"/"he's back from an injury" stuff to explain bad performances, that's just a lazy analysis.

There are at time logical ways to see the reasoning behind a bad performance, no? i.e. the bad performance is a symptom of something..

Why so serieuse?
He's taking shots on goal, its not a confidence issue, its an acclimatisation issue. He'll be fine.

Thaty very true, people will make 101 excuses for a player in bad form. It’s like when they said Torreira was play at AM when he blatently wasn’t she was just a sh!t CM.

The difference between this set of players and the ones who took over was night and day. Thats when soft Arsenal started that you could kick around, Ferguson started that as well. The writing was on the wall when we sold that scumbag in the background of that picture who was the greatest player in our academy history.
But once we decided to build the emirates we could never keep players, even going back to Petit & Overmars.

Yes, because what you pay determines where the player will be in the 'best in your team' pecking order...
What IS 'overrated' when a player is doing exactly what he's put there to do?
Who cares if someone thinks he's as good as Henry or as **** as Emile Heskey? Underrated, overrated... Who cares? Why not rate his numbers instead? No need for anyone to think outside the box or wonder if public opinion is accurate or inaccurate. It's usually based on trivial rubbish like Real Madrid being interested at one point and then deciding they'll look elsewhere. If they take him, Auba's jesus and we were lucky to have him. If they pass on him, he's overrated and there's obviously much better out there. Oh, I forgot to mention those who thought he wasn't all that before he arrived here, too, and have had to eat crow to this day because he's more than proven his worth.
I know how this works, believe me

He left on a Bosman. We only got Gallas in his place so as not 2 sue those dirty bastards for tapping Cashley up.
Is it just me or did Pepe seem different today? He came on and gave us a burst of energy which led to the goal.
He worked really hard at covering Bellerin on a few occasions and was in our own third a lot. He also actually called for the ball and waved at players to pass (he was really dissapointed to not recieve it at times).
I think Freddie having a chat to him has made him realise that he needs to be giving more (and is capable of that). Im not saying hes magically amazing now but if he continues playing like this its certainly a step in the right direction.

If he was 18 year old player from the academy people would be ripping into him.

No, I don't think so. If we had an 18 year old who scored two great freekicks to win us a game, he'd be exempt of criticism until he was 28.
Good loyal attitude to have. I like that.
Looked like early season Pepe tonight. Kind of on his own wave length but like that aspect as well for a wide player.

rofl why are people still pretending that those 2 free kicks against farmers count for anything.
Lets just admit it. People on here have weak spot for losers like Pepe and Lacazette while they love to attack young talents like Willock and Saka at every change they get!

Why so hateful about Pepe? He has more talent in one foot than Saka and Willock. They can't even do it against farmers, so what does that tell you?
