Elia just needs more playing time, came on and created what could have been an assist

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

If you watched today's game, you would really be wondering this.

Pepe was garbage for 86 minutes.

Yet Pepe still manages to create danger and be useful, even if his technique lets him down.

How people can still deny his talent. There is something there clearly.

He may have talent. I hope he can learn to make it count one day.

 

[Salvatore]

I thought this player was a failed transfer.

 

[JuveJay]

Still best used as a impact sub, for now. Although I'd use him on the LW at home to Novara, sink or swim time for him, he won't get a better game.

Yeah, but that was it really wasn't it?

 

[CAPITANO]

should start next game,

more time he plays more confidence he will get

Not yet. He still has some more proving to do.

 

[Osman]

Pepe's 3 times as useful though.

I would say this is something we can judge, when Elia hasnt played just 45 mins+20+10 mins so far. Conte can judge it on training and has made his decision, but for us viewers? Not really, Elia should given more opportunity now that Vuci is out.

Pepe shouldn't be dropped for one bad game though, seeing as he's been one of the most reliable players. So yeah, imo, Elia will have to prove himself with sub appearances - and not when we're chasing the game.

 

[Osman]

Yeah, but that was it really wasn't it?

He got roughly 9 mins, pretty much half of it was just wasting time too much from both sides. Think he got the ball 3-4 times at best, made poor play on the last one (misjudged the ball and lost it), other then that, as I said, 9 minutes. While Pepe got 86mins of being awful.

 

[Salvatore]

Not yet. He still has some more proving to do.

After seeing some positive signs (because he got a few minutes), the general opinion shifts slightly.

Still early days for him. Obviously has the technical ability.

u can sense that he got something to prove..

You don't exactly need to be a Jedi to work that out.

 

[lev lucien]

lol What are people expecting from less then 10 minutes on the pitch????

he gave us our best chance to score - won a corner - and lost a ball on an ill advised pass from Giacc, who by the way was AWFUL tonight. I still think Elia should be used as a sub for now since Pepe has been effective this year but bring him on before the 87th minute when we need a spark.

I thought Pepe and Giacc were both terrible tonight and Esti was starting to get worse before he came off. With no Vuci for a while Elia should definitely be getting more time after tonight.

 

[Suns]

Why play him on the right? I don't get that..

Yea I'd like to see him on his natural LW so he can cut in more.
