I hope you are right for their sake cos I do not see any abundance of midfield talent in Italy at all. I see a lot of useful players but not one that can take over Pirlo's mantle. DDR seems to be going backwards and the situation at Roma cannot be helping his development. Montilivio has...

I am not complaining at all, I was just trying to point out stuff as I was certain you didnt mean what you said in that context of saying what I said was stupid but some on here misconstrue stuff I have seen Tevez play a lot if times, I have tried to like his style of play because his efforts...

As long as he can still hit a mean free kick, pass the ball very well and be creative in his play then no problem. What he and players like him have, Id describe as skill but players like Tevez, what they have, Id call attributes. What he adds to a side is quantity and not quality in my view...

How? They cannot go out and buy players, they cannot suddenly find the determination and grit to try and win matches not relying on opponents giving it to em. Italy from top to bottom has got to start trying more to win matches and not just coast to victories in their usual minimalist ways...

Why do you say its Fergie's fault? You do not expect him to shell out 30m on Berbatov and not play him do ya? And it would not have been possible to play all 4 together, besides bias aside there is no way that Tevez is as good as Rooney taking away the nonsensical hype of the English media...

I did not say he is not a good player, I said he is a very overrated 1 and I am not sure what you mean by his size as people of his size are usually hard working. You would not expect 6 ft 5 players to be hard working now would ya? He has played 50 games for Argentina with 8 goals, thats 1 goal...

Would you pay 25m on Tevez cos I would not? Yes he is very amiable with his work rate and all but his quality is lacking imo and it has nothing to do with Ferguson For Argentina he does the same thing as he runs around but on the ball, his finishing as well as his passes leave a lot to be...

Your posts usually make me laugh as I tend to agree with you a lot of the times. If this was Ranieri, he would have been lambasted but its the beloved Lippi so the criticism is started with a condition like I love him or i respect him but, lets face it the truth is that he has been making...

I was not 1 of your greatest supporters and to be honest you should not have been hired in the first place but you did alright in your 1st season and for that you deserve praise. From a totally human point of view there is no way i can be happy that anyone lost their job so for that I do feel...

I know you like to play devil's advocate when it comes to Ranieri and Juventus but let me ask you this. What do you think is the job of a manager of a big team like Juventus? I would have thought it is for him to motivate his team against the smaller sides as against the big sides, they do...

I have not seen serieA in a while and judging by this game I have not missed much. It is annoying that Milan is playing Juventus and you salivate over the quality of personnel but the managers decide to put Pato, Ronaldinho, Del Piero and Giovinco while the watching public has to endure the...

Goodness gracious Italy are thinking of winning the world cup, well good luck with that if Lippi continues to be this stubborn while Spain can bring Villa, Torres, Iniesta, Fabregas, Senna, Silva, Xavi, Alonso, Carzola and others, Italy have Pepe, Iaquinta, Palombo, Di Natale, Quagliarella...

Kinda difficult with him being out for 2 months and all.

Pazzini deserves his call up but his sudden burts of goals surely has to do with his understanding with cassano so why not call up both. Pepe must always choose when I am not watching for him to play well as I have never seen him do so and seriously whats Dossena doing there? I do not trust...

Old Trafford and Liverpool play Fulham before United play Villa so they could be 2 point behind by the time they meet Villa. Also the internationals coming up might come into play with injuries and all of that. Now Freidel has been sent off and Villa are facing another penalty.

It could but I would be shocked cos Villa are in a poor run of form and they almsot always lose to United anyways. They are far too open and do not have enough quality to trouble United so I for 1 will be very surprised. I thought Liverpool will struggle cos ever so often a weekend comes...

In a way Liverpool are inadvertedly helping United by demolishing Villa as Villa will be demoralised after this heavy defeat and that helps United's cause

I do not want to be pedantic but how did you use stats to strenghten your point? Yes I get your point about Sissoko but I do not think you need stats to tell you that Sissoko cannot pass the ball and that Juventus as a team cannot pass the ball properly. The fact that we try to be too direct...

Let me tell you what I find fundamentally wrong with stats in football as in history facts are relevant and you should use em but we are talking football here. Surely you know that if we took DP's free kick against Sampdoria where it hit the post and bar thats counted as shot off target...
