You and your cronies just invented this. Says a lot about you. Willian is one of the most rated players in the league and backed by most on here to have a good season.

The only people worrying about Willian would be the Pepe fans, because in the current set up it’s hard to see Pepe become a regular.

Completely agree with you Gary.

In The Winchester, Waiting For This To Blow Over

Country: Northern Ireland

Player:Gabriel
G's got a point about Willian/Pepe, even this early on I am slightly worried about my boy Nico, he can't really afford another up and down year...and with our current team, Pepe looks the odd player out sadly.

If we get Partey, we might be able to transition into this...

Partey
Willian-Ceballos
Pepe-Auba-Saka
...with a presence like Partey in the middle, we could drop Willian into an attacking 8 role (think he has the attributes for this) alongside Dani, like City play...with more control in midfield, it would allow Auba to play upfront in a different type of centre forward role than we are using now, with Pepe and Nico wide.

But even then, this only happens with us and Arteta changing the way we play, unsure this would happen even with Thomas.

We will see how the season goes, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little anxious.

It really doesn’t look good for Pepe, but that’s not Arteta’s problem he didn’t sign him. If Willian is the better man then it is what it is, we need to win.

Pepe is still young and wasn’t ready for so much responsibility last season. Willian providing direct competition and taking some/most of the burden could be a good thing.

If we revert back to 4-3-3 then suddenly you do see room for Pepe/Özil/Saka again.

It's a long season, I'm sure Pepe will have plenty of chances.
But what about Özil? Hope he gets some minutes, looks sharp these days.

Arsenal Quotes

This is a big moment of happiness...we waited a long time for this and the happiness is linked sometimes with the suffering, and the time that you have to wait....this was more important than all the other (trophies) we have twice won the double, but were not under pressure then like we were today.
