Country: England
You would expect poor decision making to lead to him having a worse pass completion % or maybe a lower chances created number as he's picking out poor passes but he didn't. His poor balance should lead to him having poor dribble stats but he doesnt.The numbers aren't always going to tell you the full story. He doesn't pass the eye test in comparison to those players and I shouldn't have to tell you this.
Decision making and balance just aren't on the same level. He'll have flashes every now and then, but you can rarely say that Pepe had a good game from start to finish.
These things eye test things that he's failing at should have some kind of tangible negative impact somewhere right? If there's no evidence to prove that these things are failing him then maybe they just don't matter and he simply doesn't match your ideals.
