Only real threat up front today. No idea why he wasn't played from the right considering he had no striker today.


Outside penalty:

Shots on target : 0
Successful dribbles : 0
Tackles : 0
Dispossessed : 3 times
Key passes : 0


Yeah, a real threat.

If he did try that makes it even more worrying.

Agree.
He has been worse than Gervinho.
Yesterday was about as bad a performance one could hope to see from 10m player, never mind a record signing.
He's had nearly 2 seasons now and there has been little to no improvement.

Most goal involvements of any player in Europa this season : 6G 4A

He won't be a world beater, but the current setup is making him look worse than he is. What manager decides to switch a formation so drastically ahead of a big game like this? Especially when players can't even follow instructions for our usual setup. .

in bold makes it rather irrelevant.
Half the players in the later rounds weren't even in the competition through the group stage...and those players are from the losing sides from the top table.

He has 5 goals and 1 assist all season in the PL.
His chance creation stats in the PL are abysmal - 0.75 per game. That's a massive drop on his 1.74 from last year, which was ok but not great.

To be fair, if he'd only cost 10 mil we wouldn't be as bothered because we wouldn't lose as much money on him. At 70 mil, we are going to lose loads if we sell him. It's not Pepe's fauklt he's come with a price tag, but people do expect a lot more if you cost a lot more.

Oh well cut your loses and move on we can’t be persisting for years hoping he turns into Robben one day, the damage will hurt the team more than the financial loss

£70m and he got pocketed by Moreno.

Can't beat a player and can't take a corner.

More expensive than Mahrez, Sterling, Mane and Salah but he’s got the ability of someone like Bebe :rofll:

Should never be played on the left again. Moves to the right and plays a perfect cross for Aubas off-the-post shot.
