Yes he’s not worth 72 million (we knew we’d overpaid the minute we bought him) but he does a job, when he gets a chance, his career is always start stop though as he gets picked, scores or creates and gets dropped again.
Arteta picked him, coaches him and motivates him... right?
So it's Arteta that takes the credit, right?
Hard to follow the shifting sands at the bottom of your trench. Every time something good happens you shovel a bit deeper.
Pepe was quite frustrating to watch yesterday but at least he did put a lot of effort and persistence in all game. Arteta has him motivated and Arteta also had him playing much better at the end of last season. Hopefully Arteta can continue to work his magic on Pepe and get the best out of him.
Pepe hasn’t improved if anything Pepe was better before he came to Arsenal, Arteta has been chopping and changing him since he arrived even when he’s played well, I don’t see that as good management.
Ah, the old 'in spite of Arteta' narrative.
