oh ffs, what's everyone complaining about? Capello came in and took a disgraceful side with the sloppiest backline we've had for years, and turned it into the solidest defence in the league.
Not to mention he did all this using a free signing, and that we got possibly the best central defender in the world for peanuts.
Capello took a young hothead signing and helped him to adapt to the toughest league in the world, and turned a player who we all called "Zalashita" last season into a reliable substitute who could come on and score when called upon.
We're top of the league and absolutely breezed through our CL group, yet people aren't satisfied? Why? Because Del Piero is getting less playing time than he did under Lippi, who played him for 90 minutes even when his performances were quite frankly horse crap

gimme a break
