it's different though Stu, because Miccoli and Di Vaio could well have done better than DP, yet DP started all the time despite not producing the goods. You might say that Zlatan is producing only because he's playing a lot, but that's like saying "Michael Jordan is only good because he...

I agree that Zlatan's been favoured a lot, but then again he's been one of our most effective players so far this season. I don't know how productive Zala-DP would be to be honest

Whether it was offside or handball or whatever, surely the ref shouldn't be allowed to change his call a minute after the goal was scored, and there was absolutely zero prior indication from the linesman that the goal shouldn't stand

Camo can't pass or dribble to save his life, yet he continues to attempt miracles by dribbling through 3 players and playing a crazy 50 yard pass, when he could just play a square ball to Emerson. The annoying thing is that Camo always seems to find a way to make a case for himself, by playing...

Paparesta was the one who made the final decision in the end. As the name suggests, the linesman is just the "referee's assistant", and IMO Paparesta was in the wrong by changing his decision

Don't believe everything you read. Camo played well according to the Championship Manager style of match ratings i.e. he made a lot of runs and crossed a lot of balls. What the newspapers and numbers can't tell you though, is how many poor crosses Camo played against Reggina. I swewar, every...

we don't really care about those :)

I know our defence is fantastic, but the 2 goals conceded against Reggina (as fluky as they were) have taken away the sense of invincibility that we had before. Lecce will be all out in attack, and I hope we can hit them hard on the counter

I dunno; Fiorentina can be a plucky team and might be hard to break down, while I'm afraid that if we want to beat Lecce, we might have to score 4 goals :scared: The rest of the matches speak for themselves, except for Bologna, who shouldn't be that hard to beat. Fair enough, Inter and Lazio...

indeed they are tough matches coming up. If we can get through them decently enough, getting maybe 4 or 5 wins out of those 7 matches, we'll have done ourselves a huge favour.

maybe he got confused for a second :)

they had a man sent off :)

actually it was 12 men ;)

Because you said I should take off my anti-DP glasses Exactly. Shouldn't a player be selected based on recent form? I seriously hope you forgot that we played against Roma after the Siena match, and that you're not trying to manipulate the facts and hope I don't realise, just to suit your...

yeah, I hate Del Piero because I don't think he should be played in place of 2 players who in my opinion had good performances.. that makes a lot of sense :rolleyes: Because Zlatan's playing superbly, arguably the best out of all of our forwards. Sure, Del Piero's scored a few goals, but try...

THAT'S THE THING. HOW IN BLUE HELL DO YOU KNOW DEL PIERO IS A 'BETTER OPTION', WHEN BOTH ZALAYETA AND ZLATAN WERE IN FORM?! No, I don't "get it", because that's a huge assumption to make. I'm basing my opinion on the fact that Z-Z had good performances, but you're just assuming that Del Piero...

oh ffs, take off your DP glasses for one second and take a look at the situation from the team's point of view. I'm not saying that DP would have failed, I'm saying that Z-Z did a decent job, and those who are saying Capello should have played Del Piero from the start are making an incorrect...

Exactly. I wouldn't give a damn if the ref made the wrong call as soon as the goal was scored But to let us celebrate for a full minute, then disallow the goal after no indication from neither linesman nor the referee is nothing short of scandalous incompetence

Me too; I'd take victory over entertainment any day :D

I'm not saying that I expected him to come on and score a hat trick. What I'm saying is that it's not fair for all the Del Piero groupies to assume that he would have done a better job than Zlatan or Zalayeta, who IMO played quite well
