He takes much of the blame for any individual performance, JJ.
He had 1000 players to choose from and pick 23. Many people thought he made wrong choices and by making those choices, despite what the public wanted, he becomes responsible for many of the bad games and brainfarts they make.
Cannavaro is such a case. One of the many.
Yes, you're right, it can not be ALL Lippi, but boy does he hold a huge part, a major part, of the blame.
