pepe is basically the reason why the left flank is balanced, puts in a crapton of work and makes forward effords.
now i'm quite shure pepe should retrain to wingback, and that pure technically martinez is alot more talented, but at current situation, you really cant take pepe of, without totally losing the left side in defence
Exactly. Del Neri didn't take the risk of using Iaquinta or Amauri, and then decided to use them both. That was something I couldn't understand, why not go with a DP/Quag and Amauri/Iaq instead from the start?
Just had a quiet half and then he was taken off. Seemed a tactical decision anyway, Palermo scored and then defended in a strict line, we had to then attack more from wide areas so it made more sense to replace him with Amauri. The Iaquinta sub, to me, made little sense. But then he scored, so obviously Delneri saw him as being the back post threat with Amauri causing trouble.
