That's exactly right Besmir. Protecting Del Piero from injury along with tactical decisions is the reason behind Capello subbing the Captain.

Maybe Azzurri7 meant he sees no Juve future without Del Piero. ;)

See, now that is not neccesary Rab. Again I find you to be more of a Del Piero fan than a Juventus supporter, something I hope you can change about your attitude.

Of course if a player is playing well and is still needed on the pitch he should not be substituted. However I do think Capello believes Del Piero is no longer a full 90 player, or something of the sort. I really do not think he hates or has something against Del Piero, I mean there would be...

Stuart, look at it this way. Capello might only be looking out for Del Piero and making sure he is not injured again. After the match goes and minutes start ticking away, injuries are more likely to happen because of fatigue. So Capello might be looking out for Del Piero in that respect, and...

Well maybe Capello doesn't believe in the captain, or maybe he does not have fitness to continue, or maybe there is just something we do not know about.

Yeah, I think we need Olivera's creativity in the side. Olivera looks much more adept offensively than Blasi, and I hope Ruben will be able to adapt to the defensive responsibilities asked of him by Capello. But Olivera starting in midifeld looks very promising to me.

Yes I did, and with his past records it looked like a good bet. But once again you never know with footie.

I really do not understand what you are on about. We won 4-2 FFS.

Yes, Del Piero looked good today. Much better than the past few weeks, that's for sure. I really hope he can keep playing like this, but inconsistency seems to be one of his middle names.

Very exciting match today. Capello decided to field Olivera instead of Blasi, something that I knew would help the the attack. However while this would undoubtedly help the attack, playing Olivera over Blasi would weaken the team defense, which was witnessed today. Two goals against playing a...

The game finished up 4-2, what the hell. What else do you want?

I must concur that Tudor should be on the bench. When fit he is much more useful than Iuliano or Legrottaglie and can also come on in midfield if need be. I really do not know why Capello does not play Tudor that much; maybe he is just giving him plenty of rest to come back from his years...

No, Capello is not an asshole. He is possibly the best coach in the Serie A. Legrottaglie would not have given anything more to the side except for more mistakes. Well, this Livorno match is setting up nicely. The Lucarelli brothers are out of action, so that will be a big loss for...

Hey, I want Del Piero to get 5 goals on the scoresheet. That is what's best for the club.

$50 says that Del Piero doesn't score. :D

We could only score once against the second worst defense in the league. This ain't gonna be a free-for-all, thats for sure. I will go ahead and say 1-0 with a Nedved goal.

Whatever we do, lets not give Montero the duty of marking Lucarelli..
