Arsenal still lacks creativity
Arsenal achieved their third victory after the first four Premier League matches in the 2020-21 season. The Gunners defeated Sheffield United 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium. On the weekend when Arsenal fans were focused on shopping, it was a coincidence that their record signing shone.

| Technician Arteta has not had the desired rookie |
Nicolas Pepe was brought to Arsenal for up to 72 million pounds last summer. But over the past year, many people believe that the talent of the ivory coast peacock is not so great.
On Sunday night Pepe stepped into the bank and was a huge contributor to Arsenal defeating Sheffield United quite stubbornly. Before the game, the news that Houssem Aouar decided to stay in Lyon for at least 1 more season made the Gunners fans quite unsuitable.
Many Arsenal experts and legends believe that Aouar is the perfect piece for the London club’s midfield. In addition to Thomas Partey not wanting to leave Atlético de Madrid, the Gunners’ two great goals this summer have all failed.

It is very difficult for Arsenal to fill it with others on the last day of the transfer window. Those of the club will focus on the liquidation of Lucas Torreira, Sead Kolasinac and Matteo Guendouzi.
Of course, that’s not something to be happy about for Arsenal fans. Once again they doubted the lack of ambition of owner Stan Kroenke and the leadership of the club. After the first half against Sheffield United, Gunners fans weren’t in a better mood.
At home, Arsenal put on a dull and unappealing performance, without much creativity and sophistication in the first half of the match. Coach Mikel Arteta was surprised to allow Alexandre Lacazette, who scored 3 goals after the last three Premier League matches on the bench, to replace Eddie Nketiah, who joined Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Willian as the attacking trio.

But the midfield, which included Dani Ceballos, Mohamed Elneny and Bukayo Saka, had a hard time supporting them. That is the main reason that led Arsenal to show a complete stalemate in the first 45 minutes.
As the scenario happened several times before this season, the Arsenal forwards were isolated upstairs. Sheffield goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has only had to work once to block Aubameyang’s impressive long-distance kick.
Quality individuals
In the 58th minute Arteta retired Nketiah onto the field and replaced him with Pepe. That was the turning point of this match. After just 3 minutes on the pitch, the £ 72 million star played a key role in Arsenal’s opener.

| Saka is the author of the opener |
Pepe collaborated well with Elneny, Aubameyang and Ceballos so Héctor Bellerin came down the right flank, allowing Saka to take off to clear the deadlock. It was the 19-year-old’s first goal of the new season.
Saka became the youngest English player to score at home in the Premier League for Arsenal since Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in 2012. It happened in the same week that the youngster made his international debut.
Just 3 minutes later, Arsenal had a double goal. On this occasion, Pepe had a perfect personal handling from the ball to the end. A great player goal still has a lot to prove.

| Pepe is a double difference |
But clearly Arsenal are right to spend £ 72 million on Pepe. It is still a talent, capable of creating special moments and the problem is that it is not published regularly and regularly.
2 goals with a rather daring mark from Pepe made no less convincing Arsenal game. That was further highlighted by a 2-1 goal from David McGoldrick in the 83rd minute.
Regardless, Arsenal also claimed their third win after four Premier League appearances this season. His attention was now on the last day of the summer transfer window. If the deadline is passed without recruits, the derogatory words will certainly reach the Gunners leaders like many years ago.
 |
| Saka and Pepe, although only considered as substitutes, were of great help |
Obviously, Arsenal need more reinforcements, especially the midfield. But the reality is that there is still a lot of potential in its current members despite being the sub. That’s Saka, one of the brightest young talents in England.
That is Pepe, a player with explosive potential and the ability to turn the game around. They proved it in their 2-1 win over Sheffield.
