True. But IMO Capello didn't use Del Piero enough. DP shouldn't start every game, but it would be nice if Fabio let him play for 90 minutes once in a while.

Seven, I'm giving my opinion that DP has been poor this season, I'm not going looking for statistics to prove my own opinion.
If I could be bothered then I probably could find some stats, and put them into a context which would prove my point - but I'm too lazy.
I honestly believe DP has generally been very poor this season, he has had the odd good game, but he has tended to be 'invisible' when we have needed him.
Maybe I am being too harsh, but he has had enough chances in my eyes, and failed to deliver too many times.

Statistics can be used to prove whatever point you want to make if you look hard enough or put a different slant on them, so they aren't the be all and end all.
Maybe the stats say DP is our most influential person, but having watched the majority of the games, the stats obviously do not tell the whole story.
Having Watched the performances of DP - I find it incredible that people honestly think he has been our most influential player.
But fair enough, you think the stats shows the complete picture, I think the stats completely misrepresent his season. Each to his own. Let's agree to disagree eh?

A player like Del Piero, you can't just judge on how many goals he scores. He contributes with much more then just goals. He is the captain, and I don't know any other player, who gets that amount of on-pitch time, or who has more experiance playing for Juventus.
He has gone through more difficult periodes in his career then most players, and still he manages to score only three less goals then a player like Adriano.
Besides Capello never liked short players like Del Piero or Montella.
(Sorry if I'm repeating somone, but these threads are getting kindda long to look through. If I am then just ignore this post.)
I think the bottom line concering Del Piero, is that he is just not capable of doing the things he could before his injury in 98 anymore. I heard Bangsbo say in an Interview, that him and Lippi tried to "reschool" him, by releaving him of some defensive duties. This is why I think some people find him as being invisible in some games. But most of the time, when he has the ball, he's actually not that bad.
