How stupid do you need to be to think you can dribble 2-3 players in the PL like you're playing ball in the park?

Whats the excuse this time, whose fault is it now? Bellerins? Odegaards? Playing LW?

Disappointing because he never seemed to understand he was the senior attacker out there and was required to carry the team this time.
We needed a lot more from him today, and he was never close to deliver.

Pepe is being carried by his shooting ability. If he was a bad shooter he would be arguably one of the worst footballer in the EPL.
More than that, he can't defend, can't press well... he is there to finish the ball basically.

Really wanted to give him a chance this season but he's just not a good footballer.

He is basically worse version of Walcott with more flashy finish.

I actually don't think there's anything Pepe's better at than Theo. He'll feint past a player after 20 attempts and it looks good in gif form. So there's that I guess.
The inconsistency without end product is back. Not a Wenger player so not much use imo.

Piss poor, has been since he got here. Waste of time and space.

A left back for you....
More of a streaky role player than a star, which at his price is a shame.

Can't be bothered really watching him play outwide anymore, don't think he can do that in this league.
Would still be up for trying him as our striker when we get Ødegaard, but a pretty horrible signing for the money.

Can't fault him of trying Brentford were putting 2 men against him everytime he was with ball because they knew he is our most dangerous player in pitch. He didn't hide but didn't do much
He was a bit **** tonight but he constantly has to beat two defenders. I even saw three Brentford players on him at times. Look at this heat map. How is he supposed to do anything when he doesn’t even have an overlapping fullback to help pull a defender away or combine with? Chambers is at the top and Tierney is at the bottom. I almost hope Pepe gets an extended run playing with Tierney down the left.

He tried, but was poor.
Only guy that remotely looked like scoring, the rest of the team could have played for days they would have done nothing.

Make it or break it year for him, but not looking like a player you'd trust to have nailed on as a starter, which, given his price, should be the absolute bare minimum. Only gets in because of the dearth of attacking quality at hand.

I agree with he always seems to have 2 men to beat, but he brings that on himself by always trying to do too much.
I think teams tell their defenders/midfielders (whoever is closer to Pepe) to leave whichever man they are marking, and to double up with the fullback against Nico...as he always tries to beat them, rather than looking for a pass.
We need to get him away from the right side, as you say.
