maybe they were thinking about, why not earlier to make 3rd sub, when we scored 2nd..


Anyway, answer is, if he did that and made substitution 15 minutes before everyone would say that he's done so good last night and in that case no one would complain..

This way , everyone is happy..People like me, who would be happy with 3 points are smiling, and the one who always looking at something to say against the "thinkerman" are still at it.

What, can't handle a little criticism, Marko?
I don't have anything against constructive criticism but when it becomes personal agenda like your hating of Ranieri, it becomes irrational, repetitive and boring. You have to admit you are not able to think objectively when you discuss Ranieri because you have strong personal feelings against him.

He does, but there are a few reasons why I think Ranieri will never be the coach who'll make us win the scudetto or the Champions League. That said I don't criticise him, simply because I want to judge him only when the season over. You can't say anything about him now, because all in all we're still okay.
I totally agree. He's doing at least one thing right, the group is united.

We don't have the squad we had in the past. The Capello days won't come back soon and might not come back at all. I am not talking about trophies. We had the most impressive squad in europe, yet we failed to be impressive in the champion's league. In my opinion, this year's performance in the champion's league is better (so far) than our performances during Capello's time. Although we don't have the players, but the formation is more creative than Capello's.

Ranieri might not have the balls to do the change inside the game, but nor did Capello.
The difference is, Capello plays a solid game which can win you the league. But he did have the best squad in the world to back it up.

Noone can say if we had 2005's squad would ranieri be doing a better job than Capello or not. Personally, I think we would have been better in the Champion's League, but I am not sure about the Serie A.

My strong feelings against him are due to his actions, not the other way around. If you don't like that, too bad.

But didnt you say that you'd still hate him even if we won the league and the CL?I dont remember the post,or the thread,but i remember what you said pretty clearley.

A manager is supposed to give the team trophies.If he doesnt do that,then yes you can hate him,but saying that you'd hate him even if he wins trophies at the club doesnt show anything but biasness and a weird personal grudge against the man.

Lampard can't wait to greet Juve boss Ranieri back at Chelsea

Frank Lampard has hailed Claudio Ranieri for transforming his game and mindset during their time together at Chelsea.

The Italian coach brings his Juventus side to Stamford Bridge for the Champions League last 16 clash on Wednesday and Lampard is sure that the 'Tinkerman' will receive a warm welcome.

'It'll be very special to see Claudio again,' said the England midfielder. 'I love the man. If it wasn't for Claudio I might not be where I am now.


'He brought me to the club, improved my game and showed me another side to the game. As a West Ham boy I was contract minded and didn't know the continental style and the way to live my life.

'He brought me here and showed me those ways and I've got nothing but thanks for him for the way he helped my career.'

Ranieri left Chelsea about a year after Roman Abramovich bought the club, but Lampard suggests that the Italian laid the groundwork for future successes under Jose Mourinho.

'He made John captain at a young age, signed Gallas and bought Petr Cech at the end. He took us to the Champions League semi-final and was a huge part of what we went on to achieve.

'No one's got a bad word to say about him around the place which shows you what a good man he is. I'm very pleased at how well he's done at Juventus.'
