Who do you think is better (not arguing---I'm genuinely curious)
Better between Capello and Lippi? It's hard to say but I still don't think that the former is now or ever was the best coach in world football. I'm not saying that Lippi is or was the best either, just that Capello isn't.

Thanks for the response, amico mio. :)

Between don.marcello, and don. fabio . This is wat i think.

When it comes to tactics, lippi is superior.He is just great in preparing the best line-up and tactic for every game.He thinks about every player's single behavior in the whole match. its like he has instructions to every player.

In-play management of the team and the tactics, lippi has a slight advantage over capello.But i think they are the same when it comes to that category.

capello has an advantage when it comes to dealing with the overall mentality of the team and of the players.He can install a certain mentality in the team, which is one of his great attributes.

Capello also has a great eye for talent, he also knows which certain players need to fill the wholes in the team.

Lippii has the ability to rediscover players in new positions.Sometimes the is a negative, as he does that soo often.

Capello rediscovered Blasi in the right back position... Genious if you ask me. I'm not in any way gonna discredit a Juventus hero like Lippi but in my opinion there is no doubt that Capello is clearly a better coach than Lippi.

Based on what? Just discovering Blasi's new position? Lippi discovered the LB position for Zambrotta, you know.

Right...and how many games are you judging that by?
I agree with Alexander.
Even if he would have been a complete failure it is still a genius move.
I havent even seen that thought here in this forum with maybe 1000 "coaches".

Trying Blasi at right-back is not exactly "genious" as some here would say, as the player certainly has no use playing in midfield. Blasi has not even impressed me at right-back and has not really been tested thus far...how is this considered a stroke of genius? I think the smarter move would have been to try Zambrotta at right-back and field Chiellini on the left...it would make much more sense than playing Blasi.

And combine that with Capello's stubborness when it comes to trying new methods and different players, I'm not exactly impressed by this genius.

Playing a set 11 man team is the corner stone of almost every winning football team that has seen the light of day. To win you need to consistently play the same players. And this is EXACTLY what Don Fabio has done, and he sure as hell always won doing it.

Tell me one coach other than Capello who would have the imagination to field Blasi as right back with the result of complete success??

In fact, so far playing Blasi as right back has gone so great it would be totally weird to play Chiellini instead of Blasi...

Playing a set 11 man team is ignorance if you ask me. Yes, every team has to have a strong nucleus and the core players should play the most football but at the same time you have to be flexible. When you have a big squad as we have here in Turin rotation is necessary, however slight it may be. I find it quite ridiculous that a player of Chiellini's potential is yet to step on to the pitch at this stage of the campaign. How come Balzaretti and Mutu play so seldomly? Why is the trident attack utilised from the start of a game once every blue moon when we have such luxuries in attack? With the amount of options available to Capello there's no reason why we can't change things up every now and again. I'm not saying that we should play a different formation or a completely different team from match to match but Capello is seemingly too stubborn for even small changes in terms of tactics and personel.

What you call 'stubborness' is in reality common sense. Look, no one is saying we can't be flexible. I even remember reading an interview with Capello saying we need to rotate the squad. And he has stuck to his promise. So far this season he rotated the team juust enough to make us win all 8 out of 8.
