Pepe has to be a top3 defender of the last decade. EZ
Nowhere near his top level now but as a pure defender he is top 3 since turn of the century for me. Laugh all you want. Miles better than Ramos, Vidic, Ferdinand etc. on a par with greats like Nesta. He is a cunt and shit with the ball but as a defender he is near perfect.

Every other coach before him got under pressure(and eventually sacked) for far less than this, but somehow, Pirlo is immune to criticism, its like people think he is assistant coach or something.

No need for "miles better", the differences at the top arent that big, but he is surely up there, imo our best defender of the last decade.

Juve playing the 'cross the hell out' system, as they did last few seasons in CL.
