Nicolas Pepe: 2019/20 Performances

[Sniper Mik]

Poetic justice Cresswell crocked himself trying to murder him and he just went and did that. Lovely stuff

I felt so happy seeing him celebrate his goal like that I could’ve cried. I’ve been really stressed because I know if it works it could be amazing

There is no doubt Pepe has faults to iron out and lessons to learn in the PL but he will only over come those by playing. Some were saying at half time replace him with Laca, if we had done that he would still be low on confidence rather than going into the next game (ok its vs City) sitting on the bench a feeling like sh1t! I said recently we need to play Martinelli Auba Pepe with Özil behind and stick with it no matter what for 5 or 6 games. I hope we do that regardless of what happens vs City.

I'm not gonna bother looking as match day threads on this forum are a joke, but even in the first 60 minutes he was literally our best attacking players trying to make things happen and causing problems. Linking up well with AMN.

Anyways his goal was brilliant, I just knew from the position he got the ball in that it was ending up in the top corner. Weird how getting him in those positions can get the best out of him as opposed to Emery wanting him to take the ball from our defensive third and just run the length of the pitch. The assist was class too.

Only time we got into their final third in the first half when he turned on the ball. He is frustrating for sure and his passing can be sloppy at times but he clearly has ability

It was great. What I also liked is how the rest of the team seemed so happy for him. Especially when he gave the assist to Auba, everyone was running towards him to congratulate. Shows his team mates appreciate the heavy burden he has been forced to carry and they were ecstatic for him.

Ok I love this guy

Our best player today even in first half was the only one who showed something positive and trying to create something.

now the problem with Pepe he over dribble in situation where he abslout no need to like in middle of the pitch when most of our team high up and he lose the ball. i think these things you can't take it away from these kind of players similar to Alexis who frustrate the hell out of us because he over dribble but he was amazing to watch expecting the same with Pepe. against City he'll face Angelino the guy look out of his depth defensively Pepe will need to attack him.

 

[Big Poppa]

Strange player. Under uses his superior speed and overuses his inferior tricks. He looks better the simpler he plays.

Delighted for him to get the goal

 

[berric]

As soon as Cresswell took him out with a scissor tackle and he went up I knew he would score tonight.

 

[ScotsGooner89]

I like his awkward dribbling. He’s fast enough too that LBs know they can’t let him get past or he’s gone. Should of really got West Ham down to 10 men tonight and that in itself is a points winner.

 

[Deki]

He will frustrate the fans and have poor games but also score 15 next season if he has a functioning team around him unlike this season. This guy with confidence can be very dangerous.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

It's unreal how Creeswell didn't get sent off his first tackle was way worse then his 2nd even if he won the ball but his foot was way too high.

 

[Ash10]

Great goal today. Very good 2nd half, frustrating 1st half.
Needs to focus on beating people pace more than trying to take them out with step overs. Some issues to iron out but still a good day for him.

 

[HaffBR]

His decision making is a bit suspecious to me, but his dribbling ability, his pace, his defence, not need to talk the goals and assists makes the balance positive for Pepe. Much better than a castrated Aubameyang on the right.

 

[TakeChillPill]

wonderful goal and assist, has that bit of magic in him (more so than zaha). however still erratic with his passing and decision making, hopefully with Freddie and the right coach, he'll iron those issues out.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Cresswell tried to injure him and instead came off injured .

Pepe has all the bones of becoming a top player. The black Robben Let’s go.

 

[The White Pelè]

That's what a 90 mil player does. More of the same please!

 

[Tumblin'Dice]

More of that please.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

The black Robben Let’s go.

Do you get PM from mod telling you comments like these are not okay? I once did it and got a warning.

 

[Eaststander74]

All I can think of, is what a bellend Emery is.

How was Emery a bellend in how he handled him? He played him, he was in and out and then decided to give him a break from it all, for reasons Freddie alluded to. Freddie then comes in, also doesn't play him for a game before getting a bit desperate it seems, and gives him time. How do we know that breather didn't do him good?
