[Stephan]

Just that Mutu never played as a striker.

Even Camo played up front ahead of Mutu once.

 

[PhRoZeN]

Id go for the 96/97 squad (or even the 97/98 ).

 

[Stephan]

We had one of the strongest squads in serie B.

 

[Bjerknes]

I'm showing my (lack of) age here but

Buffon - Zebina - Zambro - Thuram - Canna - Camo - Nedved - Emerson - Vieira - Trez - Ibra/DP

Was pretty damn good.

All things considered, player by player in the starting XI, that was probably our best squad we have ever had.

Vieira and Emerson were two out of the three best DM's in the world, Nedved was one of the top attacking all action midfielders in the world, Trez was perhaps the best finisher in the world, and Thuram and Canna were two of the top five centerbacks in the world, probably the best central duo by far. And of course, we had the best keeper in the world.

Without a doubt we probably had the strongest team sheet in the world at the time, which is why I hate Capello. We should have achieved much, much more with that team, but Capello really screwed us over in Europe. Utterly pathetic.

yea,looking at this squad I get sad and ask myself if we are ever going to be this good,

Just that Mutu never played as a striker.

He did, but not very often. As I remember it Capello used him mainly on the flank, but he saw bench for the most of it. But who cares, those were the 5 strikers that we had that year and it looks strong on paper. That's what I was pointing out.

 

[Bjerknes]

Mutu was another wasted player. Silly stuff using him as a left-winger, another idiotic Capello move.

 

[Sad Statue]

97/98

Peruzzi, Torricelli, Ferrara, Montero, Pessotto, Conte, Deschamps, Davids, Zidane, Del Piero, Inzaghi

simply the best...

Wasn't he mostly on the right of midfield?

 

[Bjerknes]

Wasn't he mostly on the right of midfield?

I recall him being used in both spots, actually. Instead of just using the 4-3-3, Capello had to stick with the 4-4-2 with wingers.

He probably did play on both sides. I remember Capello even playing DP on the right of midfield once. I think it was away to Roma.

 

[Enron]

I remember Mutu sitting to the left of Zalayeta more than anything.

 

[Boksic]

1995/96 squad: Vialli, Ravanelli, Del Piero, Torricelli, Sousa

or 1997/98 squad: Zidane, Davids, Del Piero, Torricelli

Similar teams both fantastic but the 1996 one edges it for me, maybe its just that memory of winning the Champions league that season but it just had that extra something.

 

[Stephan]

Mutu and DP often entered the game after 80 minutes under Capello. Mutu was so f--king wasted here.

Oh and one things for sure, maybe we had one of the best sides under Capello, but we never played up to our abilities.

I remember even with that side we needed to play title match with Milan in spring and scrape through with a dull 0:0.

Oh, now that i think about it, remember how we got through the first round against Bremen in CL, Emerson goal in the last minute after Bremen goalkeeper gifted it. We were sure to go out. Thats what we needed to advance, a f--king gift with that squad.

But that horror show against Arsenal away. God...

That was hilarious though.

Didnt do any better at Real. Lost to Bayern in first knockout round. Also lost to Lyon 2:0 in group stage. And drew with Dynamo Kiev.

And that's why I don't give much credit to Capello, because he was a European disaster. But there's no doubt that his squad was probably the best we have ever had.

He will be our 2nd or 3rd goal keeper for the WC
