He cost £72M ffs

He needs to start delivering in the next few games.

Price tag is irrelevant, being more expensive doesn’t make a player settle in and adjust any quicker, he’s only human ffs. Far too soon to be getting on his back

No excuse. Salah was supposed to be as s*** as he was at Chelsea when Liverpool signed him but he won the golden boot in his first season. Pepe showed much more talent prior to joining Arsenal than Salah did pre Liverpool. He should be showing more promise than he is currently.

Think Salah goal 15 goals and 15 assists in back to back seasons for Roma before we bought him.

I've been impressed with Saka. At the moment, he looks miles better than Pepe. But, Pepe may need time to adapt. Don't count on it. He is lazy.

Your best players at the moment are Aubameyang, Saka, Guendouzi and Leno.

Why you've rated Salah only from his Chelsea time. He got better and better after that with Fiorentina and Roma. Liverpool bought him based on his Roma performances and not when raw at Chelsea. Klopp knew his best position. Chelsea didn't know that.

I think how we play isn’t getting the best out of him, he doesn’t get the ball much we don’t sustain attacking pressure and are usually playing on the break. But the chances he is getting to attack haven’t look great overall, and he should be doing better. He doesn’t take people on enough and ends up passing it. In his first few games he was taking people on and running past people, just his final ball wasn’t right. Now he seems not confident enough to run at someone, which is a worry. He doesn’t get much opportunity to do his thing in games, and when he does he messes up and doesn’t get another chance for a while. So it’s not a great situation to be in if your confidence isn’t there

I think he will improve with Bellerin, he’ll have more support and we’ll pin opposition back a bit more. But might be worth bringing him off the bench for a next few games. He might be more effective later in games anyway. Then hopefully he gets some confidence back and can push on. Don’t think fans should start hammering him yet though, that’ll only make things worse

I think his biggest issue with Pepe is how left footed he is, experienced PL defenders are simply forcing him to his right , where quite frankly he is worse than average.
Ozil is the same which is why he has struggled too

Look it is still early days for Pepe and I take that on board. However, his overall dimena and attitude in the games is a problem.

Fine if he doesn't score but there is no aggression in his play, no fight which is what is worrying. Why is a 18 year old being more aggressive in his play then you?

I really hope he comes good because we invested a lot of money on him but he really needs to improve quickly
