I thought he’d be moved into a central position as well and looking at how crap the midfield is, I think that would be the way to go now. As much as I’m a fan of Pepe skills, I don’t think he’s earned the right to start week in week out. I mean, you could chuck him in there and hope, but it could do more harm than good.
When Pepe is on, he can basically win the game on his own, something that Auba does more often on the opposite flank. The problem that we see is when Auba is having an off day, we have absolutely nothing in our attack. That's why I'd always have both of them on the pitch and throw something different at our opponent if one of them struggles.
How do you learn game sense without playing. Seems like we’re given up on someone who had 19 g/a in a debut season (and we can all agree there was a lot of room for improvement) for someone who isn’t going to get any better.
Coaching, training pitch and videos. I know it’s not exactly the same but you can’t risk results just to get one guy doing the right thing. It comes to the point where it’s sink or swim. We’re only 3 games in anyway! Bit early to write Pepe’s obituary. By all accounts Arteta likes him and I’m sure he’s trying to make it work. The shape of the team will evolve over the season I think and I’m sure Pepe will feature more
Fair enough. Can always count on man for a dose of sensible.
Mikel doesn’t care for subbing off Willian for Pepe as we’ve seen as well. So if anybody thought Pepe may be feeling like **** because Willian looks to have taken his place, he’d still able to watch Willian leave the pitch for him so I think that’s good management by Arteta.
All glory be to Greggs breakfast baguette (just the omelette, brown sauce, no sausage) and a large Americano 
Because he’s just turned 32, or because his form has shown he’s over the hill? He’s just had his best season for Chelsea. He’s here as a player first, on merit. He can be a mentor too but he’s here to play football.
I dont expect him to die this season! That will be terrible luck for us.
I feel too much guilt when I eat bog standard sausages because I know they aint good for you, but they’re so nice ffs. Yeah just a omelette in the bread with sauce is enough for me. Holloway Road Greggs is always quiet and pleasant as well.
I live like 2 mins walk from one as well, need to abuse that **** more.
Don’t underestimate the test of will that it represents. Think as healthy as you can, get the goods in your head and don’t look through the glass display cabinet when you’re ordering. You’ll be okay if you do this. Good luck sir.
