Pepe failed pretty much everything he attempted unlike Giaccherini. He also was really wasteful in possession.
Pepe has been the more effective, yes.
The only thing I said, at first, is that Giaccherini is better than Pepe. I didn't said he had the better games.
However, I do think that if you take into account overall performance, Giaccherini still played better than Pepe.
Am I just stupid or something because I really don't see any consistency here...

In fact I think I didn't word the third quote correctly, I wanted to say that he wasn't better in term of effectiveness up until now whereas I think he didn't played better overall.

Who? :D

I think I get your point and I actually agree with most of it.
Giaccherini is technically a better footballer than Pepe, but Pepe has shown a little bit better end products.

Exactly, that's what I meant :)

Also, the fact he had more end product doesn't mean that he had a good game overall. Setting up a goal doesn't make up for the 1000 times he fucked up. Perhaps maybe the goal would have if he actually didn't play that bad, but that wasn't the case.

Pepe just looks better cause he has that determined look when he runs. I'd play Giaccherini more as he'll give you more in a full season

He's got a big ass, looks fat and stocky, can't take on his man, his crosses are more miss than hit, but he scored a goal and made that long range pass to Vucinic that eventually led to the only goal in the Siena game. Props to him. However, I don't want to see him starting week in, week out, and as far as I'm concerned he should be 4'th/5'th choice along with Giacheriini. Krasic and Elia as the starters, with Chelo the 3'rd choice.

Long range pass to Gia who passed to Vucinic :)
