I wonder when this Capello hate will be over.. He won you two scudetto and never talked shit after he left, all he did was praising Juve, show some respect!
I for one don't hate Capello, nor did i ever hated or disliked the guy. I was a big fan of his and i see him as one of the greatest coaches ever since i started watching football.
But i must admit that the guy did awful in CL and couldn't adapt to that competition. He couldn't (or didn't want to) make changes in tactics and formations and he flopped there.
I also think that with the same team Ranieri had he most probably wouldn't have won us a scudetto. But i'm not so sure about this. He was a master for long competitions, that's for sure.

And that's why I can't stand Capello. That team should have went all the way but no, we played crap, one-dimensional football that doesn't work in Europe anymore.

My god, the long balls under Capello was tearing me apart. Two years playing long balls. That tortured me.

:yuck: Capello sucks. strong defensive team with long balls and waiting for forwards to produce magic to end the game 1-0. direct football is not working anymore and guardiolla outclass so many old coaches and i hope fergie is next even though i think hes not only one of the best coaches but the best club coach of all time. i wish ferrara will do as good as guardiolla is doing with Barca

In what way would be difficult to us? Please elaborate?
I think that Roma have better squad than us at the moment. Yes, they had injuries, but we had them even more. Whatever you might say, i think that CR is better than Spalletti and with the same squad CR would not fight for 6th place but for one of top 3.


He promised me to log out and try his best to forget his password.

I did not promised, i said maybe just to tease you..Do you really think that i would go with CR and to join another team? He is not my father, but he deserves more respect than you and some others are showing at the moment.

-He has declared many times over that he "trusts" our defenders, both individually and as a unit.
-He never tried to change them willing-fully, he insisted with them till the very end,
if he wasnt pleased with them, his subs would have shown that.
He never gave any real chances to Criscito, DC and Ariaudo.
He was pleased with the quality of the current material and its potential.
He could affort at some games to use someone else, just to prove that he is not 100% and he considering new options there. But NO, he 100% committed to those weaklings...
-When asked by the reporters what kind of player would he wish for our team, he mentioned defensive midfielders and forwards...
-He praised Legro as NT material and Molinaro as our best player of the last season.
If he wanted new defenders, he would at least show his discomfort and would rather prefer a new defender instead of the Poulsen he asked.
-At the post match lame comments, when our defense made some huge mistakes that cost us far too many points to count. He never played them, he blamed everybody else but them, the grass, the ref, the determination/luck of our opponents, the lack of coverage from our DMs and wingers.
He never admitted we have a defensive issue. Not even now...
Cronios , would you expect coach to blame his players even if they know its their fault? He did not have Inters squad full of superstars that can blame them as they could up their game , but us, our defenders cants do better..We collapsed when we lost Momo and Chello on occasions. Rest of our defense is rubbish mate.

Show some dignity and stick to your word...
Sign out and never come back.
I tell you to get off my back and to enjoy your life peacefully

Where is his "confession"
Did the cat ate his tongue all of a sudden? No funny remarks, no lame excuses?
Did they caught him off guard right not and had no time to prepare his speech??

I m pretty sure that he will blame the players, the injuries, the luck, every one else but his tactics/choices...
I think after the season he will say things or two..

even though Ranieri is shit you cant exactly compare those 2 teams, Capello wouldn't have that record with this juventus
Capello's team can't be compared to Ranieri. Capello would have done the same I guess had he had the same squad of last year and this year.

I never enjoyed Capello's CL road. Never, therefore I dont miss him never will.
:tup:

He surely was better in Europe than Capello from what I've seen in the last 5years. Don't know why he looked like a chicken in the league but in Europe he had the courage to play like how we are supposed to play.

I've seen lot of good things in our CL road this year that I haven't seen for two years under Capello.
We played like real team in CL, maybe we got overconfident if there is expression could be used

I for one don't hate Capello, nor did i ever hated or disliked the guy. I was a big fan of his and i see him as one of the greatest coaches ever since i started watching football.

Numbers are important..Man won lots of it..So people should not bash Capello this much still.

The one thing i liked about Ranieri was the fact that he won and has a pretty damn good record against the big teams. In the two years since we've been back we got 7 wins 7 draws and only 2 losses against the big four in serie a in Milan, Roma, Fiorentina and Inter. And some of them really convincing like the victories against roma 4-1 and 2-0 the one against inter last year ended 2-1 but could easily have been 4-1 and the 4-1 against milan. We would have beaten fiorentina twice except for those late goals like mutu's pen. last season and gilardino's last minute heroics. So thats the only area i'm pleased with ranieri about.
