In the second part of the season. At the same time we were bad in serie A too if you remember. It was an old team that was played without being given any rest whatsover. Squad rotation wasn't something Capello was particularly fond of.
In the first part of the season we set records in serie A and in CL in both seasons we did very well, once winning the group with 5-1-0 and the second time we won it with 5-0-1. Both times it was Bayern that we beat for the 1st place. But as time was passing by we were weaker and weaker.
While Ancelotti was setting his team to start slower and improve over time, Capello was doing the opposite.

Apart from Cannavaro, Thuram and Nedved who were old at that time, Vieira, Emerson and Camo were as old as Zlatan and Xavi are now 
Zambrotta and Trez were even younger. They must have been able to play up to their standards in two fronts. And it's not like we could go further than the quarters anyway. But we had Zlatan

Well, at least we were winning the scudetti.

Better fail in CL and win the scudetto with Zlatan then fail everywhere without Zlatan.
I'm simply telling you that the age and lack of rotation of 30 or 30+ old players was one of the main reasons why was this team playing worse and worse as time was passing by. In serie A too we had some 15pts advantage which we almost lost in March and April.

Do you disagree with that list? Was there a way to answer him which was gonna be less honest or more honest? Is every stat that doesn't go your way dishonest?
Ya, but it was our worst ever season domestically. It was the only time that we were outside the top four for most of the season, in fact we only got 4th place in the last round, and only because 5 Tottenham players got food poisoning before the game against West Ham, that they subsequently lost. Oh and don't forget we had almost our entire backline missing in those two games against you guys
