Nicolas Pepe: The Nutmeg Express!

The sad thing here was Willian getting the last 20 minutes. A loan to Germany/Spain would be the best option now to protect some of his value

 

He's done, but we'll need his cooperation to sell him. And an African player will be foolish to forfeit a 36 million pound contract

 

High time for posters with a pea sized brain to come here and cry.

 

Had a couple of cool moments but the way we're using him he's not what we need at all.

 

Not bad today, but needs to be loaned.

 

He's still easily one of our more productive attackers but having him dip in and our of games just won't help. Suppose you can't drop Saka for him.

 

Needs a loan to France to try and build some of his value back and should then be moved on.

 

This fraud is statistically better than Gervinho but somehow he looks worse than the Ivorian when he's on the pitch.

Edit - I forgot both are Ivorians

 

The lack of athletic puff pieces for him says it all, he's done here.

 

He had his terrible moments but he did have some good moments as well I guess

 

Thought he played ok. Produced our two best chances but unfortunately they fell to Nketiah.

Had zero service in the first half. Won some ball back in our third. Overall his last couple of performances have been much better but without the cameo top bin goal.

Off limited opportunities he's not playing that badly but not good enough to displace anybody in the starting XI atm.
That's said, he and Martinelli have to be the next two names to come in should Auba/Saka not play.

 

Why we went for him instead of Zaha? How much money did we save?

 

Think we didn't have a single meaningful attack without him being involved, but I'm ready for a witch hunt. We've lost the game and Pepe played, so we all know what's coming. Have to say there were games he played for about 10 minutes and was still guilty according to some people

 

I hate these kind of stats, gets the ball delivered to him in final third kicks it in to a dangerous area. CHANCE CREATED HES BRILLIANT OMG EVERYONE ELSE IS SH*T

All our good play breaks down around him, the one that sticks out in my head was a peach of a ball from Bellerin put him through in to space and he just hit it off Bertrand( I think it was Bertrand anyway).

 

Zaha loses the ball twice as often, which wouldn't be accepted by Arteta or the fans

 

And yet he produced our best chances

 

Considering his price he is disgraceful football player. But if we do not consider the price, we can say that he could be an average championship level player. Loan him to rotterham, he would help them in their relegation battle.

 

Didn’t they launch an internal investigation into why we ended up paying 72m€ for a player who’s not worth half that? Is that done? What was the conclusion?

 

?

 

Oh yeah hes absolutely fantastic, amazing player, he produced one decent chance wowowowowowoow.

He only lost the ball several times breaking down attack after attacj and left Bellerin stranded 1v2 most of the time. BUT BEST CHANCE PRODUCED AMAZING PLAYER WOWOWOWOWOW.
