If you really want to know how bad Capello is as a manager please read your posts carefully. He has managed to make fans on here feel nostalgic about Appiah. It does not get worse than that does it? Our play has become so woeful under Capello , it has totally distorted people's memories to the extent that they are thinking Appiah was good overall for us. He has made Vieira into a very bad player , that peole are actually saying he is worse than Appiah.
I knew some people will come on here and defend our performance against Treviso, simply because thats the way they are , they defend everything. 0-0 against the bottom club is enough for me, i dont have to have seen the game to know we were hopeless again. But of cos you have guys coming on here to say we attacked but the ball will not go into the net. Anywasy i ahve watched to many games and come on here to see ppl so distorting the way a game went to suit us that i don't even bother with their analysis anyway.
The person who came up with how bad we were under lippi in cl , i didnt bother looking at your name sorry, of cos we had some horrendous results like losing at Leverkusen but I do know in that game we had so many players out with injuries that Nedved had to play as a striker but of cos you forgot to put that in, we lost to Arsenal as highbury 3-1 but we played well enough and it was 1-1 at one time and did watse some good chances in that game
The 3-0 reverse against Man united was a very bad result but we were not that bad, sometimes results tell a different story as to how the game went and if Trez converted his numerous very good chances it mught have been a different story and Tudor scoring an own goal did not help.
Someone was askinghow come Capello did not field a second team, it is this simple he knows how limited he is, as a manager and how much he depends on his individuals to bail him out and he knew if he fielded a second string team we would have lost as he does not have the nous to manage a team not packed with great individuals as there is no team pattern at all when he is concerned its all about the individuals.
Case in point , he tried it somewhat against Roma in coppa italia and we were 3-0 down in the first half, it took him bringing on Dp to get a credible 3-2
Same against Fiorentina, in Florence, we were 2-0 down before he brought his big guns to bail him out.
