    We are not keeping clean sheet, who cares, if we can win the league without keeping clean sheet?.

    Nicolas Pepe was the first player to dribble past Virgil van Dijk in 50 games credit to him<applause>.

    And then VVD raced back, stopped him, and we won the ball back.

    All within 3-5 seconds.

    Like Klopp said the system by Arsenal caught us by surprise and the addition of Pepe who is an unknown quantity. I think they benefited from this combination about once (not including Henderson's mistake) and then 2nd half we came out and controlled the game even more.

    I don't really give a **** about this dribbled passed stat, means nothing in reality. I'd rather he got dribbled passed to take the focus away.

    However Pepe didn't dribble pass VVD, he knocked the ball beyond him and ran after it!

    The most important thing Arsenal went back with 0 point.

    I thought it was an impressive stat, tbh - but it has to end somewhere. It's not as though it's a major achievement to get past him once a year. To read some of the nonsense on social media you'd think the sky had fallen in.

    It is an impressive stat, just like a high pass percentage or a keepers clean sheet record. But in reality, it means very little.

    I agree. Like Pépé getting past him - it means nothing, it came to nothing and they lost the game 3-1.
