One of my colleagues supports Valencia. Today morning she asked me if the game has ended 1-1 so I told her the result and before I elaborate she said it must have been Ranieri's fault, apparently she did not like him while he was at valencia. The funny thing, even she did not expect the DP/DC sub. Got totally socked when I told her what has happened.

The funny thing is that Del Piero was the only player controlling the game, playing wise, no MISTAKES, he did nothing wrong. To me he had more than a good game looking at the condition/situation we were in.

Ranieri is an idiot, simple as that, BUT i think he took off del piero as he had the champions league game in mind, the real idiocy is that he did not bring on giovinco, but a defender instead, but as Rab said, we looked a lot better with del piero on the field

Putting what we have/feel for Del Piero aside. He's the most important factor and key we've got. And I don't really care about the Real Madrid game, we were 1-1 and we needed to win.

How could anyone expect that? Its what makes our manager unique.

Yes, so he had to go out, otherwise Ranieri couldn't defend the result...

i agree, but what can i say, ranieri is an idiot, i remember for chelsea he told jimmy floyd hasselbaink to play at right back, the look on hasselbainks face was priceless

LOL I bet that if we had Buffon, Manninger and Chimenti injured, he'd put in Del Piero as a goalkeeper, as he played as a GK when he was a kid. After we get owned that game he'll tell that he has full support of DP and we are not in a crisis.

He always subs someone because of 'the next game'.
Funny thing is that we don't stand a chance against Real, so benching Del Piero to give him 'rest' is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard
even if he is one of only 2 fit attackers in the squad? look, the substitution was a sensible idea, but putting De Ceglie instead of Giovinco was the stupid idea
