My ratings:
Buffon - 6
Zebina - 6.5
Thuram - 6.5
Cannavaro - 6.5
Zambrotta - 7
Camoranesi - 7.5
Emerson - 6.5
Olivera - 5.5
Nedved - 6
Ibrahimovic - 7
Del Piero - 6.5
Tacchinardi - 6
Zalayeta - 6
Pessotto - no rating
Both Tacchinardi and Zalayeta were good. Had they been on the field longer I would probably have given them higher ratings.

Knowing capello, was there any doubt?:groan:
I think that this habit is bad for both ibra and alex.
Alex needs to be rewarded when he does well. It's important for his confidence and his motivation. They can't be too high if he knows that he will be sub in any case...
Ibra needs to rest. I doubt he will be able to play always from September to June. I'm afraid that at most important moments (champions, the topic matches of SerieA), he will be injuried/not fit. Let's hope not :down:

Alex was playing well and didn't seem tired to me, not visibly anyways so I think it must be something we don't know about. Maybe Capello reckoned that DP had done his job and deserved a breather but I still think he should have given him a minimum of 75 minutes giving his performance and lack of confidence. At least the fans got behind him and sang "Alessandro Del Piero, Ole" when he went off. I wonder if Cap will bench DP when Trez returns even if he plays like this regularly.
I don't think so because as isha said, DP was very much active right before being replaced. As a matter of fact, moments prior to his substitution he was tracking back helping the midfield IIRC. I'm sure that he's not happy with being replaced time and time again, but being the person he is, he doesn't complain to Capello.
Stuart, look at it this way. Capello might only be looking out for Del Piero and making sure he is not injured again. After the match goes and minutes start ticking away, injuries are more likely to happen because of fatigue. So Capello might be looking out for Del Piero in that respect, and does not want to risk a late injury. That's just a conjecture..
And he feels that Zlatan is less prone to these injuries because he is younger and stronger, yeah, I get it, but still, I don't think you should sub someone because you are afraid that they'll get hurt unless they weren't 100% going into the clash or had taken a knock during the proceedings. IMO Capello either has something against DP or no longer thinks he's a 90 minute man (which I disagree with) a la Di Canio and Zola.
Yeah, but let's put it this way, Capello's at the training sessions, we aren't. So we can't really be sure.
Granted, DP must be frustrated (maybe), but isn't disposed to complaining. But notice that the rest of the squad seem not to have made a comment about it, and there has been no serious media speculation as to a row between the two men.

Del Piero is without a doubt a model professional which is one of the reasons why I look up to him so much. He never complains even though he is so often unfaired by the media and now (imo anyways) Capello.
About DP holding the key to our season: you could be right. His presence or lack of it may end up being crucial.
