Was really hoping this guy would get the start today. Oh well.

Might put pressure on him if anything, think it’s good he’s being treated as the other regulars.

I suppose.. think he just needs a goal or two from open play though

No such thing as “open play” at Arsenal, that’s the problem here.

 

[Trilly]

I think it's 'making money away from where he lives'. 'cunch' = country = away from where you live. I need a lie down now.

Yeah going cunch means going outside the ends to shot.
You’ve probably seen it referred to the news as ‘county lines’ drug rings.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Not worried, he still settling in. I'm glad we have you Nico

 

[kraphtous]

He will be a star a year from now!

 

[CJJ]

I dont care if he scores, the sheer amount of attention he attracts from the opponent opens up so many possibilities. I swear Standard Liege spend 2½ men covering him every time he got the ball.. That should be punished by the rest of the Arsenal players.

He just has to relax, the goal will come then.

Yeah it's like when you're handling a deadly constipated turd, you keep stressing and pushing when all you need to do really is relax. That should be Nicos strategy

This is another Managerial test for Emery in itself. Bringing Pepe back.

You could now see his becoming anxious himself doubt has crept in the ball control and flair we see in his first few games has gone his resulted to holding the ball longer then he should and takes a little to long to make a decision.

We have to work him and stay patient Emery has the right plan in sticking with him and playing him at every opportunity he just needs a good game and a goal from open play and he should be off. I’ve watched them videos of him in France there is brilliant player in there we just got to find him.

 

[grange]

He's still trying to dribble through everything at the moment. You can see there's a lot more there for him to unlock. As was said, he attracts a ton of attention and the opposition know he's dangerous. He was our best (or at least one of) against Liverpool. We just have to be patient and let him work it out.

Not sure why they were so scared of him ffs.
Meanwhile Martinelli was destroying them on the other side of the pitch.

 

[Vinci]

Think he'll be fine.

From his interviews he seems like a level-headed, hard working guy, a bit timid even. Just needs his time to find his feet.

 

[pigge]

Looks very poor still, on current form martinelli, nelson and saka is better. Hope he just need to adjust etc. Got more to show than this for sure.

 

[GunnerUK]

It’s the only “one good season” in France that everybody seems to be questioning, people say his not proven. If we signed Mbappe tomorrow would he struggle like this coming from League Une.?

You’ll never truly know but you can only assume. NO

Kylian Mbappe is a generational talent, he will overtake the crown from Ronaldo and Messi..

 

[MutableEarth]

Just lacking that conviction in the final 3rd. Looks OK otherwise. Give it a bit of time.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

It will come for him it's just matter of time he was our best player against Liverpool i don't know why his confidence took a hit after that

 

[baccy_man]

Pepe, looks like he is a bit short in confidence to take people on at the moment he seems to want to pass the ball more than run at players,
Once he gets his confidence he should play a lot better than he has so far.

 

[<<reed>>]

Can't believe we have finally replaced Joel Campbell.
