I don wash hand comot for Pepe matter. Not that I really had big hope on him from inception but the disappointments this guy serve is way less than the minimum I expected from him. Make arsenal just cut their losses sha cos nothing fit happen. Except maybe new coach takes over, and we all know that's not happening anytime soon

BlueRayDick:
Even if a new coach takes over, that coach will not teach him how to control the ball, how to keep the ball close to his feet when making a run and when to dribble or sprint.

Pepe's problem is fundamental. If u watch Bakayoko's embarrassing displays in Chelsea colors; that's similar to what Pepe is doing to us now. All tru yesterday when he's one-on-one with Leeds defenders almost everyone knows what he's going to do the ball; except Pepe himself. EPL is surely not for such kind of player.

Jodera:
Maybe the new coach might find a position for him close to the goal where he'll do more shooting and less dribbling. To be sincere, not that I even have hope a new coach will harness him better but I'm just giving myself hope. The only thing I'm just clinging onto Pepe is to play the left wing, maybe he might give okay performances cos the few times he did played there last season, he tried.

More so, I believe he's still young go learn all these basics like ball control and how to beat a player smartly. Either he doesn't want to improve by doing extra trainings or he's just lazy, cos I don't understand how he doesn't watch some of his clips.

Like him matches clips no dey shame am??

Guy he is beyond redemption
Know this and have peace of mind

BlueRayDick:
Here is why I always maintain that perception is usually not same as reality.

For a team that suffered 3 back-to-back-to-back defeats in the opening games of the season , our recent performance is not as poor as most fans perceive it to be. Maybe we are not there yet , but we are obviously not down and out .

Jodera:
We are improving statistically, No doubt but performance-wise we need to improve, what you brought is just result, it some times mask the performances. That has always being most of us opinion here. Nobody thought us as down and out.

BlueRayDick:
What u are referring to as performance here is ur own perception and not the reality .

The reality is that out of those 8 matches we were only outplayed by Brighton . The rest games we outplayed our opponents either by goals or possession.

If by performance u are expecting arsenal to win those matches 4-0 or end the match with 80-20 possession , then u are confusing Arsenal that finished 10th last season with some ready made team .

Jodera:
Lol... We won Aston Villa 3-1 by not having a possession of 80/20.
I don't need 8-0s, or 5-0s for now. I don't need 80/20 or 85/15 possession for now. What I just need is consistent Aston Villa performances.

To be honest, can we have consistent Aston Villa performances against average/mid table teams (bar man city, Liverpool and to some extent Chelsea)? I believe yes and I believe this squad is able to achieve that. I don't see how that is too much to ask, if you ask me.

BlueRayDick:
The Aston Villa match is just one of the 6 wins and 2 draws in our recent unbeaten run to this point. What matters at the end of the season is the number W’s and D’s we are able to amass and the L’s we able to dodge .

We can only judge the team based on results achieved in matches we have before us up till this moment.... when it’s our turn to plan man utd, Liverpool and the rest of them we are yet to play we will see for ourselves what level we are .... As for now it won’t be inappropriate to appreciate how a team that lost to newly promoted side on the opening day of the new season has picked itself up and working itself up the table slow and steady.

I’m all in for criticizing the players/management when they aren’t getting , but I will also chip in a word of praise for them when they start to impress no matter how little

iamoyindamola:
Kudos to Arteta and his team to turn things around coming from how we started, he is not the man for the job but he's grinding out results after the horror show in the first 3 matches.
Also we are becoming threats on set piece especially corner kicks.
I hope he and his team won't go back to default settings

FantasyHub:
Someone must be doing a good job in advising him about tactics. I suspect that man that he always hugs each time Arsenal scored a premier league goal.

Dude is clueless, someone that threw away Lucas Torreira , sold willock and bought lokonga.

SHAME!

Jodera:
one of the best decision he and the board made

FantasyHub:
Willock remains better than lokonga. No midfield in EPL can bully willock. Even in the absence of willock I'll rather play el-neny.


Lokonga cannot make Sunderland midfield.

Spy360:
We all agree that Arteta is piss poor. But the points you listed against him can't hold.

1. Torreira left on his own wish
2. The sale of Willock was good business since we bought Odegaard with the funds.
3. The signing of Lokonga for a meagre sum was a good decision since he is a reliable back up for Xhaka/Partey. He was captain of Anderlecht in Belgium, a top club in that league at his tender age is no mean feat. He is also a in Belgium NT. So saying he won't make Sunderland midfield is going overboard and being emotional.

Jodera:
You just spoke facts of facts!!!
Maybe the guy na Big Willock fan!

Is he a bigger Willock fan than @Spy360?
