@Macho man is doing what you weren’t brave enough to do
Jokes and banter aside, I have no time for this and we are lucky to have ESR. Pepe, we bought so it's different.

I also agree that we’ve overrated pretty much every young player in the squad but I’m not ready to make a clear judgement yet. If he shows some end product then he becomes an elite prospect imo. If he doesn’t he could still be an elite no8 but it becomes harder to call because other midfield talents are still chipping in with end product.
We’ll definitely be able to call it by end of this season though, people will scream patience but Foden, Greenwood, Saka, Mount and others before them have shown that if you have something you show it quite early.
Partey and Aubameyang if we were to be truthful. 2 seasons ago I’d have said Leno too.
ESR and Pepe have poor chemistry imo, it’s like they aren’t on the same wavelength.
I don’t think they practice shooting/finishing at Hale End. They’re all the tippy tappy hybrid 10/wingers that Arsène loves, they’d rather try ‘walk it in’ as they say about Arsenal. I really hope Mertesacker tries change the philosophy we need more killers.@Macho man is doing what you weren’t brave enough to do

Pepe was on his heels. Full clip shows that ESR was ahead of Pepe by the time he made his second touch. Still needs to finish better one on one though, had a similar chance against Brentford.
Nah, we need goals from Saka & ESR as well. I want them to have the confidence to shoot on sight like gunslingers. ESR made that chance as well, Pepe can f...k right off!
Hahaha you're tripping here mate, Emile lifted our season last year with basically his first kick in the Premier League and he's already looked our brightest player (apart from maybe Partey & Pepe) in pre-season and the Prem this year.@Macho man is doing what you weren’t brave enough to do

Calling anyone a young Ronaldo, Messi or Zidane is just setting them up for failure because that level of excellence is so rare - like once in a generation (we are lucky because two came at once, like buses).
