Do I have to spell it out for you again?
I'm not making fun of Lippi, all that I'm saying is that I did not agree with his decision to field Del Piero no matter what, even when his form was shite, which it was for most of last season. I am also disgruntled that Lippi did not use Maresca more, in favor of Tacchinardi and Appiah. If you are a good coach, you will field the player who has the best form at the moment, not giving somebody the automatic starting role because their "Del Piero" or "Maradona". That's where you have it wrong. The player who deserves to play will play under Capello, and that's the difference. Like it or not, Del Piero is slowly but surely taking a back seat in the importance to the side. Time for the new guns to step up and take charge, which so far Zlatan has done pretty well IMO.
But, we could always use a fantastic addition to Zlatan and Trezeguet, which I think could be Mutu.

And yea, I concur about Mutu.
