That's not true, considering he scored in the previous match, he's been doing that steadily over the course of the season. Crap, good, average, crap, good etc... That's Pepe. I don't see why there is such drama when he has a bad game. It's not like people have just woken up and watched him play for the first time.
Anyway, he wasn't the main problem today. He actually put good crosses and passes into the box in the first half, when the team attacked with more structure.
