Can we stop pretending he's class now?
I mean I dont watch much games but I hear Pepe's name more than his recently; so this is why I have been wondering if he had reached a bit of the hype he kind of came to arsenal with or kind of muzzled out a bit at Arsenal.He's been average at best for me, a lot of thee Arsenal fans that I know aren't that enamoured with him, they call him out for being a little too safe in comparison to Smith Rowe for example.
My wife is a Arsenal fan so I usually end up watching their games with her, from what i see he really doesn't offer enough cutting edge. He is neat and tidy without ever really having a splitting pass or a stunning shot enough times.
I think currently Arsenal is his level. He is a long way off from the level United need.
Is he back to being shit?Can we stop pretending he's class now?
From what i have seen he hasn't justified the hype, and from what the Arsenal fans I know have said (and to be fair they know thier football a lot of them, apart from the fact they follow Arsenal!) they aren't overly keen to keep him.I mean I dont watch much games but I hear Pepe's name more than his recently; so this is why I have been wondering if he had reached a bit of the hype he kind of came to arsenal with or kind of muzzled out a bit at Arsenal.
Yeah, I was not a fan who cried for Odegaard particularly- but I have to say that from what you said I do wonder if he is struggling a bit from Arteta’s management.From what i have seen he hasn't justified the hype, and from what the Arsenal fans I know have said (and to be fair they know thier football a lot of them, apart from the fact they follow Arsenal!) they aren't overly keen to keep him.
Part of it may be due to Arteta's strange passive tactics at times, but he doesn't grab a game by the scruff of the neck in the same way that a Bruno or KDB would. I'm not comparing him to their levels however, I am just merely suggesting that he has a lot to learn still and doesn't seem ready still for the top level.
Didn't impress during his four trials at United!That Brazilian player Martinelli was looking great for them at one point is being picked on and off right now, not looking like a starter for them.
I wonder if he would be worthwhile trying for actually maybe more so than odegaard.
He is good, was rated as one of best players in La Liga last season after all. Started off o.k at Arsenal (when they came back from 3-0 down at West Ham he was big part of that comeback and played well at home to Spurs) and then momentum was lost with injury.Can we stop pretending he's class now?
