He’s been poor, Luke Shaw’s just that shite he made him look good the other night. Not saying he won’t improve over time but he’s been very underwhelming so far for the money Arsenal payed for him.
If he was playing for United you wouldn't hear the end of it.Colossal flop. Crazy how little it’s made out of it as well.
Only if United fans understood this. One game in and the Bruno thread is popping with crticism.I personally think any player should be given a year before judgement anyway - just look at how Freds progressed.
Less said about those muppets the better. They'd rather try to be proved right than judge somebody fairly.Only if United fans understood this. One game in and the Bruno thread is popping with crticism.
Quite alot of players take a while to adapt, Fabinho, Laporte, Fred, Keita, Jorginho, Rodri. This is not a simple league.
Even players like Salah had spells where they were rubbish in this league before dominating this league.Less said about those muppets the better. They'd rather try to be proved right than judge somebody fairly.
As you say it's rare anybody comes straight in and is one of the best in the league.
Robert Pires was pants for 6 months when he came. He ended up being one of our best players this century so far.Colossal flop. Crazy how little it’s made out of it as well.
Common sense is not welcome here!Robert Pires was pants for 6 months when he came. He ended up being one of our best players this century so far.
Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp took some time to adjust too.
Pepe might be a flop, but he might not, it's still relatively early.
Why do footballers say they don't like the English cuisine? Specifically players based in London? London has the most diverse cuisine options in the world, obviously I can't back that statement up but it isnt like the UK is littered with fish and chip shops on every corner.https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro....ed-name-toughest-defender-faced-12201948/amp/
He could end up being a meme if he doesn't improve...

He isn't exactly serious and at the end of the day it's a matter of taste. And being in London gives you more opportunity to easily not eat english cuisine, you can go for indian, african, asian, french, italian and many others.Why do footballers say they don't like the English cuisine?

I find that statement ignorant and it shows that he won't adapt.
The English have more types of cheeses than the French. What more does he want?!He isn't exactly serious and at the end of the day it's a matter of taste.

What ? It's a matter of taste, this ain't something you can debate. You're the one who's being terribly ignorantWhy do footballers say they don't like the English cuisine?

Quality, he is a man of taste.The English have more types of cheeses than the French. What more does he want?!
touché.Quality, he is a man of taste.
They don't. And having restaurants of non-English cuisine all over doesn't speak much in favour of English cuisine.The English have more types of cheeses than the French. What more does he want?!
They do! The plethora of non-English cuisine in London is a testament to the unparalleled diversity of the city. Isn’t that why people love NYC for food?They don't. And having restaurants of non-English cuisine all over doesn't speak much in favour of English cuisine.
I think that's his point though.They don't. And having restaurants of non-English cuisine all over doesn't speak much in favour of English cuisine.
He wasn't being serious, he was laughing when he said that.I think that's his point though.
I'd understand the comment if he'd moved to Stoke or Wigan for example where (please someone correct me if I'm wrong), the fare is probably quite British.
But I've lived in London for a long time and I genuinely cannot remember the last time I ate 'English cuisine'. It shouldn't even be a factor when talking about living in London, you eat pretty much whatever you want to here. Same in fairness in most of the major metropolises of the world.
Food wouldn't necessarily be a major issue if I moved to Paris because, even if I didn't like French food, I can easily eat foods from around the world every day.
As for Pepe himself, I don't think there's much point in judging too much on the first season. Obviously you want them to hit the ground running but if not, I'd wait till the second season before really starting to judge.
You’ve lived in London for how long and not had a Sunday roast?! Sacrilege!I think that's his point though.

And pizza isn't english cuisine. People are basically agreeing with him by mentioning everything but english cuisine.I mean, London has one of the best pizzas you can can find anywhere outside Campania
It's got great food for any palate, you just have to look for it(and when you're rich as a footballer, you don't even need to look very much)
Fair enough. Seems its just one of those stereotypes that have to be wheeled out every time a footballer comes overHe wasn't being serious, he was laughing when he said that.
Not really. What people are saying (if he was being serious, which it seems he wasn't) is why on earth he'd even be eating English cuisine in the first place in London. Weather, fair enough, you can't escape. Food....And pizza isn't english cuisine. People are basically agreeing with him by mentioning everything but english cuisine.
I'll have the occassional roast outside of London when I do a staycation. Big fan of some of the old village pubs around England.You’ve lived in London for how long and not had a Sunday roast?! Sacrilege!
English and European cuisine is limited in general. I mean I like Italian food but couldn’t imagine eating pastas and pizza every day, what actually is the benefit of London though is that unlike even big cities in Italy, you can find a wider range of African Caribbean Asian food than in these places, to come London and complain about English cuisine is stupid, half of the restaurants and food shops don’t even serve English food, but you’ll find a Caribbean Chinese Indian or West/North African restaurant on nearly every corner.And pizza isn't english cuisine.

We don't eat pizza everyday eitherEnglish and European cuisine is limited in general.

What is it then? Where can I get some nice Caribbean food in France or Italy?Food culture is much more than having a bunch of different restaurants in the city.
That sounds delightful to be honest .We don't eat pizza everyday either
Nor pasta for that matter. Italian cousine has plenty of variety. In the north-west you're more likely to be served rice than pasta as a first course dish. The main two traditional milanese dishes are rice(risotto alla milanese, which is basically rice with saffron, and parmesan) and the veal cutlet(still feuding with the austrian over who invented it )
In Guadeloupe or Martinique?What is it then? Where can I get some nice Caribbean food in France or Italy?
