Reeling from Laca & Kos nightmares
So what i gather from this thread is not to have any expectations for him and hope he might become good in 5-10 years, that’s what we paid 70m for.
I don't think you are (unlike some others in this thread) I'm just wondering what your expectations were/are if you expected him to come in and have such an effect on our team.
Think about wingers who can carry an attack. We're not talking about guys like Salah/Mane/Sterling....we're talking about guys like Neymar and Hazard, wingers who can actually carry an attack single handedly.
The question I have for you is did you really expect Pepe to be that good? What exactly were you expecting because our attack isn't good enough for anyone except the world's best to deliver right now.
Okay you clearly don’t like the player, that’s fine. I do remember you were never a fan of the signing even before it was confirmed and you’re now blaming him for being fouled.
I wanted a bigger impact initially but unlike yourself I’ve accepted that foreign imports immediately smashing it in the PL happens very rarely.
I’ll ignore your opinions on the lad in the meantime I suppose. I guess I’m just more patient.
Will him being as good as Sterling justify the 70m for you?Actually I dont blame him for being fouled. Its just we are Arsenal and I think we and Pepe get zero protection from the refs hence I think it would be wise of Pepe not provoking the brutes in other teams when he is dribbling in places and time where he doesnt have too.
I hope Pepe make it. Its always like that. But for me it just so many things that are yet to click and atm it feels hopeless! Hopefully Arteta can Sterling him and we are in for a better times where everyone tags me in matchday thread when he scores or assists!

If Pepe isn't a monster attacker and one of Arsenal's best players in a year's time, then it would be reasonable to be worried. Not 6 months into his Arsenal career ffs
Pepe is 24 years old....... he is not 18 years old like Gabriel. Those expecting him to play vastly better next season compared to this season are expecting far too much from him.
I assume you read this thread blindfolded then.So what i gather from this thread is not to have any expectations for him and hope he might become good in 5-10 years, that’s what we paid 70m for.
You’re confusing developing as a player with adapting to a new environment.Pepe is 24 years old....... he is not 18 years old like Gabriel. Those expecting him to play vastly better next season compared to this season are expecting far too much from him.
Can he play as a 10?
It has always been you hating him not about his performancesMaybe. It all depends if I'm done hating him or not!

In our system we need a 10 who can press, has the speed to track, can shoot, can take up spaces between lines, dribble and pass.
Speed
Press
Track
Dribble
Between lines
Shoot
Pass
Pepe can do all of those things. You feel like having him in between the lines instead of Özil and buying someone like Traore to play on the right would make us stronger.
We’ve seen numerous players hit their peaks at all different stages.People keep saying he's here for potential like he's suddenly gonna become world class at 25, by 24 he should be performing close to his prime.
I thought he was good against west hamNah his performances have been huge problem this season. Not a single good game. Maybe that game where he scored two free kicks against some team in EL but that was just free kicks. His overall game is lacking big time!
We have certain dons starting today how have been **** for years, have some patience.
nicolas pepe's form has been loading since arrival and it almost is hitting 100%... soon we will see a new, inform pepe
