Poor touch from Willock, needs to be better there.

I think I'd trade Pepe for Gervinho at this point

Haha I said Gervinho was more consistent technically last year and was told to fuck off.

Pepe is really a wild card in terms of touches.

Mari is a very likeable player. Per vibes.

You get the sense that the defensive line is a bit straighter and less erratic with him on the pitch. The sample size isn't big to be fair, but it does feel like having Mertesacker in there like you say, with the added bonus that he's good enough individually to turn a forward if he has to.

My biggest concern with him is what happens when he gets caught a bit ahead of the game. Looks great when it's all in front of him.

Pepe is so odd. He kind of leans back when dribbling. Not optimal at all.

tazmania

Nice pressure back from pepe. Nelson loose pass there or Joe bad touch?

The wingers and 10 are much more fluid than they were. Wasn't sure if it was just ESR, Saka, etc but I think it's tactical. Pepe, Willian and Nelson seem to have much more freedom to leave their area, interchange, etc

Seems like it. CF feels isolated tho

Aubas never gonna link into like Laca does

banduan

A lot of dodgy touches so far. Pepe has been bright.

tazmania

For all his flaws, pepe's doing well. We've been alright and look like scoring from the right side again. Pepe will get one of those crosses right for Nelson

I like Willocks's strength....its one of his strength!

Claudius

Saka-ESR-Laca must be feeling very comfortable watching this.

Qwiss

Willock should focus on CM. In another year or 2 he should be a real unit and it'll transform him.

Willian...

Totally agree.

This guy...

Why can Willian never keep his shots down? awful

MistaT

How can't Willian even get that shot on target?!

Claudius

Willian’s shot still rising as I type

banduan

Willian a passenger still.

Definitely has good potential for that position - he's also really good at tackling.

It's his passing and first touch that are currently inadequate.

Willian 😆
