CAPELLO, if you leave our team now, I gonna wish tou good luck with any other team you choose. But please, do it, coz if we have to watch such things next season - few Juve fans will mark their words about you...
And by the way, don't even dare to blame Nedved for those cards - he was the real lion tonight.

I don't see what more Capello could've done this game. Balzaretti played decently when he came in, and made some nice crosses. Zalayeta was the only real attacking option on the bench, and Mutu was the worst player on the pitch. Logical. Giannichedda was strong in midfield but contributed nothing in an attacking way, but then again nothing more is expected from him and there were no more creative midfield options available.
Zambrotta showed why he is considered one of the best wingbacks in the world, although the rest of the team brought him down to their level. Ibrahimovic was average but definitely not as poor as people try to make him. He was behind quite a lot of the few chances Juve had, and you can't really say his role in the team is grateful, with 90% of the balls received are airballs from Cannavaro. Trezeguet was Trezeguet. The rest of the team ranged from poor to above average. Most somewhere in between that.
Though what's definitely need is creativity in midfield. The lack of such is what killed Juventus in the end. Giannichedda avoided ball contact, and gave the ball to other players, and Emerson played long and difficult passes. Nedved fought well, but with his experience one could expect him to not follow the path of the hotheads Camoranesi and Zébina. If there ever was any small amount of hope left, it was flushed down the drain when the referee showed him red. I would've liked to see more of Zambrotta's attacking raids, since he was dangerous whenever he was on Arsenal's half. I wouldn't have mind seeing him being moved up to midfield in the 2nd half.
Big props to Buffon for giving his all, and you could clearly see the frustration in his eyes that he could not go out and affect the game. Best Juve player of the two legs together with Cannavaro. Kovac did a decent job in the back but did look a bit shakey at times, which is understandable considering the amount he's played this season. His passing left much to be desired though.
Anyway, there's no point in looking for people to blame. Hopefully some new players who can make an impact will arrive, together with some tactical changes by Capello or whichever manager we'll have. Now to secure the 29th Serie A title.
