With Hazard gone, Pepe is the best dribbler in the league. And he already showed it. Needs to do better in front of the goal tho. 

Nah. He might be one of the better tempo dribblers behind Sane, Salah, Mane and Sterling. But technically in terms of touch and close control I would say David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Mahrez and maybe even Kovacic are better.

Where would you put Zaha on that list ??

 Bernardo Silva is a wizard.

Pepe one goal, two assists this season. Zaha zero goals one assist. But I agree Pepe doesn't look good.

Judging a player who had double figures for goals (22) and assists (11) last season in a side who finished 2nd for not looking good after like 7 games is ridiculous. Same as people saying Pulisic is obviously not good enough after 7 games cause he hasnt been playing. Pepe is only 24, if he was 27 or 28 I could understand but hes 24 and potentially needs to adapt. Also there is no way Zaha is better than him, he is one of the most overrated players in the PL.

Hada shocker last night seems like we dodged a bullet not getting him 

Way way too early to say this. He is a quality player and needs time to adapt. We have a similar situation with pulisic, only difference is that we actually have players to play to not let him suffer while the adaptation process is going on.

Yep. The people who write players off after 1 month are the ones who never learn.

But on the flip side that works both ways, the same sentence was said about the likes of Bakayoko, Gervinho, Keita, Bravo, Falcao and United version Alexis and the supposedly inevitable upturn in fortunes never came.

I did naturally assume Pepe will come good but watching him last few weeks (and keeping a close eye on him) I'm not too sure now, he looks like a left footed version of Adama Traore, there's one thing struggling to adapt it's another when teenage debutants are looking genuinely world class by comparison.

Alexis is perfect example of just how much age, club and pressure affect the player. 

People however forget Pepe has to adapt two things. First is the league and second is the style of football. He played counter attacking football for Lille and now he is playing in a possession based one. He might be one footed, but his speed and dribbling ability along with finishing make him very dangerous. He will adapt. Berardo Silva went through similar process, going from a counter attacking ligue 1 side into possesion based PL one and it took him awhile. He likewise looked like a flop in the beggining too.

Pepe, like Ndombele will make it in PL or at the very least in a top club.
