Nicolas Pepe: The Nutmeg Express!

[Yousif Arsenal]

He was our best player today even at 1st half he was was making run trying i like what I'm seeing he is more serious than last season

 

[Trilly]

You Pepe haters can suck out btw. All you Arteta brown nosers, it turns out to be Pepe to score the 72 mil goal to save the fraud his job.

You lot don't deserve him. Don't care who wants to cry about what I've said either piss off.

Are you okay?

 

[Riou]

Jesus, that's a stretch mate, but Pepe definitely deserves kudos for taking the ball under the immense pressure and burying it.

I mean from a mental side...the more time you have to think about a shot, the worse it can be...that's why I rate pens, shows you have bottle.

Hate it when players say "they aren't proper goals", they are just **** scared of missing one in front of thousands upon thousands of people..as I said, cowards

 

[Trilly]

Yeah, he was so good today! Massive impact falling over every time he got possession!

This is actually you

No, you.

I don’t even want you to get banned @UnbiasedNeutral , work is a bit busy at the moment but when I get time I’m going to ruin you.

What? This forum is proper weird. I'm going to be ruined for disagreeing with you on football matters.

 

[AberGooner]

He was the one player we had tonight who was really fighting for the shirt. Deserved his goal.

It’s just Manberg with different agenda, let the kid have his fun

 

[Dial Square 1886]

Still ****e at the end of the day.

But that is the level we are at now.

Sure he can do a job for another season if that is the only option though.

Hmm I'll agree that they aren't easy, but they shouldn't be the hardest for a professional footballer.

For illustration I tried to find some conversion rates; this is the easiest I could find without much effort:



So in the 19/20 season, combined for the "top four" leagues, the penalty conversion rates were above 80% both before and after the lockdown.

An 80% shot at a goal? You'd say almost certain right?

I still think Pepe's goal given the circumstances was admirable.

But I can't agree that it's the hardest type of goal to score, even mentally. That doesn't mean it's not difficult though and as always it's just my opinion.

Oh it’s the berg?!

ah nvm then, that makes more sense.

 

[GDeep™]

We going to ban the n0nce lover or what?

Bear in mind that the best penalty takers at the club are usually responsible for those penalties then it makes sense that the conversion rates are high.

Yeah that's a fair point, you imagine if a guy like Gervinho was taking penalties every week then the whole average across the top four leagues drops by 10 - 20 %

 

[Macho]

Are you okay?

Nah I'm not.

 

[mirrorstare]

Risky penalty but whatever

Still our only attacker that looks like he can come up with something interesting, even if Foyth had plenty of fun with him. His ridiculous playacting ended up being vital for us, no Capoue is a huge setback for them.

 

[Maybe]

Still ****e at the end of the day.

But that is the level we are at now.

Sure he can do a job for another season if that is the only option though.

Mbappe barely touched the ball against City, is he ****e as well or do we just accept that forwards very often depend on the structure and the control behind them?

Not even pretending that he was doing something today, but when you look at the passing from our defenders and midfielders, I wouldn't even try to analyze his game or any other forward who was playing today

 

[Macho]

I mean it was a penalty, calm down

Always commenting on my sh*t. I'd read Jury's posts if I wanted your opinion pipe down.

Well you like putting people on ignore so just do that then. Half the comments in this thread is you whining so it’s obvious you're gonna get some replies.

& fyi, I avoid enough of your impotent rage posts anyway
