Ah yes it’s all down to Arteta’s coaching on why Pepe is struggling. That’s why so many clubs are in for him as they know if they can just coach him up he’ll be world class!

So why else is he struggling ? He has bags of ability, proved it before he came to England, proved it at AFCON, has showed it at times in England. Tell me why Arteta has struggled to implement an offensive game at Arsenal ! Tell me why every one of our offensive players have struggled under Arteta !!
Lacazette
Aubameyang
Martinelli
Saka (in phases)
Pepe
Nketiah
Every single player has been below par under Arteta, isn't it obvious where the problem lies ???? You can continue to stick your head in the sand and not acknowledge the bleedin obvious !

Pepe never lit it up before or after Arteta. Sure, he can score the odd goal with some skill but he goes missing/makes errors more times than not. Wasn’t a good portion of his goals scored penalties before we even brought him in? Not all signings pan out, just find it odd to solely blame Arteta.
As far as offense, yes, I would love for us to go back to being flat track bullies but I also don’t miss getting hammered by Chelsea/United. I think Arteta’s system has taken awhile to implement but I do think we will see some improvement this year.
