Loads of Liverpool fans have been reacting to the performance of rumoured summer target Nicolas Pepe, who had a nightmare evening at Old Trafford on Monday night.
Ah, Manchester United vs Arsenal, always one of the great football rivlaries… or not.
Monday’s clash between the two sides was a perfect symbol of where both clubs currently stand, with both managers clearly focused more on not losing the match than on winning it.
Scott McTominay and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were the standout performers, but one man who didn’t play up to par was £72m summer signing Pepe.
The Gunners winger has just one goal so far this season, and on Monday night he was hooked after 73 minutes with 74% pass accuracy, a whopping five unsuccessful touches, no key passes and just one successful dribble, per WhoScored.
Liverpool were linked with the Ivory Coast international this summer, with French journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi claiming on Twitter that Jurgen Klopp did indeed want the winger.
Fans are now praising Klopp and sporting director Michael Edwards for not completing a deal for Pepe though, and you can find some of the best Twitter reactions down below…
