I should have read your post first before replying in my previous post. You put it so much better than I did.

exactly. We played like shit against parma and against napoli (not as bad as parma but still way below par). I know there were ref mistakes but if you play well usually things go your way no matter. The big issue here is the form of the team. Like Ali said if we were against parma and up three nil and they get back to us with 3 dubious decisions then i would overlook the form.
Alex played his best football in the 4-4-2 and in the capello days he didn't have someone behind him even though he didn't have anyone next to him. Alex is trying too much and over complicating every move he is doing.
The moment he needs some creative players to play for him, is the moment that he loses a lot of what made him the player he is. In the past he is the one the created but not he is slowing down the plays, losing the ball too much and even his skills are letting him down. That only happens when a player knows he having a bad patch and its gets to him. Its not the system, however i know that he will turn things around sometime this season i just hope its soon cause we really need him

Thats exactly whats happening,we all understand that getting older in football makes u slower & I am not complaining about Alex's speed BUT he must compensate this slowness with playing fast,he must try & put his skills in fast play.
Right now it always seems like he is slowing the whole team with him,every time he touches the ball,he keeps it instead of passing it quickly.
I like it when he dribbles even slowly but he needs to choose the right times to dribble & not do it every time he gets the ball.
He also should work on his fitness.

Best football? He was performing good in the matches but I wouldn't call that best football under Capello. I don't recall Alex every playing his best football under the 4-4-2.
One of his best ever years in 02-03 under Lippi was when Pavel was playing as a playmaker role behind the attacker and Del Piero infront of him with Zambrotta on the flank. And before Pavel we had Zidane and before Zidane we had others.
4-4-2 isn't suiting Alex, it's pretty obvious.
I'll disagree there, having creative player next to him doesn't mean to do Ale's job, having someone creative would helpy him and Trezeguet with lot of good passes, you can't expect Alex to put the ball infront of him and run 40meters alone, not even Maradona at this age was able to do that.
He needs someone he can have a contact with on the field, Alex is a very creative player and having someone else as creative as he is but younger would be amazing.
Anyway at least If Ranieri wants to continue with his 4-4-2, to change the system of our game, stop playing Palladino and Pavel on the flanks it's not helping at all.

yes. my point is, ranieri is playingt he 4-4-2, regardless of the formation, dp should be effective in any formation, maybe better in some but overall still the same. and if he isnt performing, doesnt mean that its the formation, maybe the player.
and you certainly had some venom in that post, for a new mod, your tone seemed raher ill-toned.

What my moderation has to do with my post??? I didn't know you were tone specialist.
I've been following Del Piero closely since 12years now, and saying he should be effective at any formation doesn't make sense at all. I can name you 50 world class football players If you play a system and formation that doesn't suit them then you can't expect alot from them.
And If you re-read well before sticking yourself into the posts between mine and sateeh you'll notice that I did say his performance isn't good but I don't blame only his performance but also the formation Ranieri is using. So I'm not criticizing Ranieri and defending him here.
