tacchinardi is useless in a 4-4-2 system. in a system were he just sits back and passes to the playmaker, ie. zidane, or the other central midfielder, ie. davids, so they can distribute the ball, he works well. but under capello and a 4-4-2 formation, tacchinardi has nothing to offer.
yes he has been very good for us over the years but his time is almost up. i hope he makes me eat my words, but i dont see it happening.
and in regards to montero, iuliano and pessotto not getting a game at all, i think it is possible. tudor, legrottaglie, birindelli, zebina, thuram, cannavaro can all be utilised without having to use the other 3

harsh call i know, but i just cant believe moggi couldnt offload them.
