He certainly does, the problem is we haven't had anything to go off with which to rate him or give him credit. He's just a name on the line up at the moment and not much more than that to the majority of people.
Joya would have been the same but Anto's rectified that and explained the player.
TBH, I doubt the average voter sees either as any more than a randomer.
Anyhow, I can give you time stamps to backup some of the stuff I mentioned earlier:
17:00 woefully overhit pass by Amancio to Gento
17:50 Joya run and shot blocked by the keeper
18:16 Amancio looking useless and losing the ball on the left
19:00 Joya tries a ridiculous shot from the right as there was no one to cross to
21:56 Joya retrieves the ball from deep in Peñarol's half and starts a move which finishes with a disallowed goal
33:40 Amancio completely bollocks up Real's best chance all game (excellent example of how Mazurkiewicz went for scooping the ball sideways and never risked a rebound, even if the shot was catchable)
36:30 Spencer goes on a run, much like Eusebio would, and Joya pivots for Peñarol to score their first goal
Bear in mind Joya was 32 and playing more like the old Giggs without pace but with a brain, while Amancio is at his peak here.
Kaka/Netzer/Del Piero would have been fine IMO
Fine? That's an understatement. I felt quite comfortable about this game until I thought about that. I really thought Fergus had gone for mindgames saying Kaká would be a sub. That's why I emphasised earlier how I disagreed with you on two counts (the other was you saying Kaká shouldn't start, although you meant ahead of Netzer I know).
With his passing range and reading of the game he should be used in midfield where he can influence the game a lot more. He can drop into defense if needed. But yeah his flexibility would always be useful.
