Selective memory? Get a fucking clue, man.
It's these fucking retarded generalizations of yours (and inane correlations, like the one with Borriello working hard in the picture, so it's proof that he must be worth having on the pitch? Or some nonsense), AC. That's why you get the facepalm.
I criticize and praise players based on performance. Pepe was BAD last year, and I criticized him as such. He was BAD. Conte has brought out the best in him, he has been quite good this year, and deserves praise - which he has been getting from me and most of the forum for quite some time.
He should have started today, because we should have been playing a 4-3-3. Our fullbacks aren't particularly good wingbacks, Plus Chiello was hurt, so we should have played 4-3-3, but didn't because the 3-5-2 was effective against Napoli last time. Conte should have adjusted his formation earlier today.
Actually, part of the reason we pseudo switched to 3-5-2 was because I believe Pepe had a little niggle, and then a bit of a drop in form as well. All three CB's were playing well, and we had some success in 3-5-2, so it made sense. Tonight, we should have fielded our strongest formation, with our strongest players, and Pepe is our starting RWF.
He's a great teammate, but again, I hope that we're looking to upgrade that position all the same.

Because I looked at the 4 or so people who praised Pepe TODAY, before your comment appeared to generally call them out for having 'selective memory', and all of them have said quite good things about Pepe this season.
Edit: called me out specifically for selective memory. But basically called out the others with that 'you all' comment prior.

Many people had warmed to Pepe a lot further back then that. He's no world beater, but he's been important.
Anyway, your post is directly under mine. Looked like you taking a pot shot, maybe because you didn't enjoy our Borriello exchange?
Also, FYI, it isn't hypocrisy to praise a player when he's playing well, and criticize them when they're rubbish. That's being realistic.

But Pepedinho didn't exist last year. He was born the moment Conte came here
It's like night and day, really. Conte gave him the confidence, and Pepe just kept growing with the team. It's been really nice to watch, and it's very encouraging for the future. Quite a few players raised their game this year, actually.
