My first post in this forum
I really dont understand why people here hate Capello so much .
I have been followin juve only for about 6 years so cant say anythin about lippi's first term in charge .
But as far as Lippi's second term went , things werent any better than what FC is being able to produce currently in Europe .
I remember juve being thrashed 3-1 by arsenal in 2001 , leverkuessen thrashed us and so did depo in 2001-02
The performances then were worse than what we achieved under Capello in europe in the last 2 years .
In 2003 though we got to the final , we lost to newcastle , were hammered by Man U , indeed the 3-0 defeat by Man U at home was the worst moment of my time as a Juve fan . We also never looked like scoring agaisnt Milan in the final .
Yes we had some great games that season , but the fact is we had our fair share of problems too.
Again in 2004 depo knocked us out pretty easily .
Lippi relied too much on ageing defenders like ferrara , montero and the new defender he signed legrottaglie was a total waste .
Tudor was a player who used to make horrendous mistakes as well , (though he used to score a few with his head) .
Agreed Capello favours Zlatan too much , but even Lippi used to favour certain players too like ferrara (even though past his prime ) DP , (di vaio was in good form when he was signed from parma but lippi never used him enough )
So while i am not saying Capello is great , Lippi isnt exactly a step up from him
And coming to this game , dissapointing result yes .....but what counts is that the scudetto is now in the bag .
Juventus vs Arsenal ............ no comments
