Dp lost the ball because he had no one to pass it to... God forbid Pippo actually came to the ball to get a pass... Del p- Inzaghi never worked for juve and and never worked for the national team... Del P had a horrible game, but its not completely his fault... Donadoni has 3 DM's... Cammo Rm.. then Del p in his wide left role, and Pippo jerkin himself off up top... I have no fucking clue why he didnt call up miccoli or Gila.. granted gila hasnt scored a goal in a while, but we know the type of player he is, and he can be the target guy up top... Pippo cant.. to be fair pippo was just as inefective as Del P... you could put del p up there as a lone striker and hope he gets a rebound or two as well.. im sure he wouldnt miss hit as much as pippo either... Donadonni is retarded... Aquilani?????? YTF didnt this kid start?!?! let alone be subbed in?? Quagliarella? Di natale should have came on sooner... and Lucarelli is garbage... and btw whens the last time Perotta played for roma?????

Pretty sure we all agree


C.Maldini: "Donadoni non ha esperienza"

ROMA - Un anno fa alzavamo la Coppa del Mondo, oggi siamo a rischio qualificazione agli Europei. La spiegazione di questa speriamo momentanea debacle è individuata dall'ex ct della nazionale Cesare Maldini in due problematiche di base: mancano i fuoriclasse e Donadoni non ha esperienza. "Credo che la nostra Nazionale sia composta da pochi fuoriclasse- dice intervistato da Radio Goal- si sente l'assenza di giocatori di peso come Totti e Nesta". Riguardo il ct :" Donadoni ha tanta esperienza in campo ma non ne ha avuta in panchina, almeno in ambito internazionale, per ricoprire il suo attuale ruolo. E l'esperienza internazionale conta molto. Non gli do nessuna colpa, ma di certo la formazione schierata sabato era fisicamente debole. Con la Francia è stata una partita difficile perchè una sconfitta avrebbe gettato tutti nel caos". Ora gli occhi sono puntati, e le mani incrociate, per la partita contro l'Ucraina.

I'm absolutely positive that his former teammate and ex-buttsex partner Albertini had nothing to do with Donadoni's appointment as coach. I don't think he even took into consideration experience. Did he even look at other coaches??

Cesare: Donadoni is too green
Tuesday 11 September, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cesare Maldini has launched a stinging attack on current Italy Coach Roberto Donadoni’s lack of international experience.

“He has a lot of experience on the field, but none at all on the bench – at least in terms of international competition – that would prepare him for this role,â€

[Zoff82]

What's with Iaquinta's aggressiveness in dissing DP?? I understand these 2 compete for the same spot but DP hasn't been bad on Juve. Honestly, Iaquinta is a big scrub too who got a call up because of 2 seasons and Donadoni's lack of watching games. Iaquinta's "form" was accidental. His 2 goals were a deflection and a PK. He's done nothing to warrant a spot except for a past call up from Lippi who actually knows how to utilize this guy. Again, Donadoni with no fresh ideas.
