Another Pepe no show

Post by itslikebrandnew »

If it wasn't for the decent fixtures Arsenal have i'd be dumping him.

Got a few too many underperformers at the moment.

Was a poor game. Arsenal were poor and haven't really been great at all yet. Auba is a class above the rest though

I don't want to encourage you to make transfers ILBN because I don't think you need encouragement. However, last night he was absolutely shocking.

He can't pass, shoot. beat a man or retain the ball. Don't even start me on his free kicks and corners. Emery is incredible, he has converted a £72m player with bags of potential into a 72 pence player, and I'd probably expect change from that. Nice one Dick.

I'm hoping he will play in the Europa game Thursday night where only a star man performance will save him from a swap on Sunday to Mahrez who is only £0.1m more. Easy decision as I have Auba, but more difficult if he's your only Arsenal coverage I guess.

Really?

His surname in Spanish translates to onion, I thought his performance reflected that. :)

Everyone on the pitch was pretty average but thought he looked decent at times. Arsenal haven't really looked that good this season so far, if they can start performing I think he'll do well.

As an Arsenal fan I appreciate your positivity, but good performances from Arsenal these days are as rare as rocking horse excrement.

If it wasn't for Auba and Lacazette papering over the ravine-sized cracks, I swear we'd be battling relegation.

It looks like i'll be bringing Aubameyang into my other team as i can do that through striker rotation and it works out well.

As for Pepe, i'd like to take him out for to get Laporte back in my team. But can't find any info on when Laporte is due back.

I'll think you'll be waiting a while for Laporte - Pep said out for 5 or 6 months and then got quite shirty when asked the same question about Laporte 3 or 4 days later. He repeated 5 or 6 months.

You weren't the reporter asking the question were you? :)

Unfortunately I was seduced by his performance in a pre overhaul game :oops:

Looked like he would be an assist magnet. We live and we learn.

Probably keep for Sunday's game if he starts but it's a no from me after the international break.

Good point about the International Break Gazza.

Wolves have been very poor after Europa excursions and I was thinking a Watfordesque beating on Sunday. KDB's injury though will surely reduce City's potency a bit although Gundogan is decent enough.

On balance probably best to wait. Cheers.

It was a bad miss; he's certainly struggling to live up to his reputation.

Yep, at least he has a bonus for tackling tonight. I suppose he could get an assist from a corner but can't see him scoring in open play as he seems to look like a deer in headlights when he gets near the goal.

When we were posting about it he had 38pts and wasn't anywhere near the top. He scored almost half of his previous total in last nights game.

His performance last night has caused me a problem, he'll have confidence now and will probably end up scoring on Sunday. He might get an extra week in my team now.

No. I'm too far behind that it's pointless changing him to someone everyone else has.
