Nicolas Pepe: 2019/20 Performances

[Maybe]

The point is that his ability is such that it warranted caution against writing him off and labelling him a wasted of money so early, despite the developments.

Fair enough, but there are many examples where talented players failed after big transfers for non-football reasons. We are not in a position to do that and Pepe must play every game

He couldn’t have scored against a better team the way their fans have been talking **** about him

Cut the crap, there wasn't a single post about his ability as a player. People were right to complain and ask questions when your highest transfer sits on the bench for no reason.
From day one it was clear he is a baller, but managers were still more willing to change formation or do crazy setups just to avoid playing him.
If this show today wasn't enough for him being a default starter for rest of the season, then something is very wrong with this club or player

If I'm Kroenke, every person that was involved in this transfer would be fired tomorrow morning.

Which one is it?

His set piece delivery is so good as well, just another string to his bow.

Also seems like he was actually a bit injured going from Areta's comments. We don't know the ins-and-outs so sometimes it's best to wait for news rather than suggest we sell him ASAP.

Some God-awful posting in this thread sometimes.

Can't tell you how much I've wanted him to score against these cvnts.

Might find the pepe thread on redcafe

He was very good today, only worry was his fitness as you could tell he was lacking some pace to take on Luke Shaw and press with the unit. He would drift a bit and step off. Also when he received the ball a few times, instead of in stride and with movement, he just stood still and tried a few step overs. I think once he's 100%, we'll see him consistently starting and thriving in this setup.

Arteta hasn't actually lost Pep, he's got Pepe in his side.

Really happy for him and it seems his issues have been around fitness and not all the other stuff people were hinting at, thought he was better on the ball today as well, didnt look to pull of tricks every time

Hopefully gets a run of games now and can build on this.. That shot that went off the post was great technically, his finishing has so much potential.

If only that Auba volley went in, Pepe sat Shaw down and the cross was perfect!

Would have been a great goal.

Cut the crap, there wasn't a single post about his ability as a player.

Both Pepe and Guendouzi ATM have about as much "ability" and "quality" as Xhaka...... stop pretending that these players are Cesc or RVP. They are all highly flawed in some way and they need to improve a lot in the next few seasons if they wish to be rated more highly than Iwobi was last season. In the case of Pepe what exactly do fans expect him from? Cause his touch is poor, his decision making is poor, he takes forever to get a shot away...... Pepe has about as much quality as Gervinho. He's not a playmaker, he's not clinical enough to be given the main goalscorer role.... all he can do now is dribble past players only to give the ball away cheaply.

My 2 favourite moments besides the goals was when Pepe did that and when Laca spun the world's most expensive defender like he wasn't there. On both occasions it deserved to end in a goal.

 

[OnlyOne]

One thing I've noticed that doesn't get mentioned often, he's got some unreal vision.

 

[Riou]

Loved his little stadium tour when he got subbed, felt like he went round the pitch twice soaking in all the applause

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Does he really played with a knock? Maybe that's explains why Arteta took him off early.

 

[Sniper Mik]

Perfect birthday gift for his Mama

 

[CaseUteinberger]

His delivery on the corner we scored on was just epic. He has a really good dead ball delivery. Plus his shot that hit the upright just needed a couple of inches from nestling in the net. He has a blessed left foot!
