Italian Serie A thread

Thauvin should have stayed at Marseille. Been all over the place since. Hope he does well at Udinese but I have my doubts.

 

Caught the second half of Roma/Milan last night. Leao scored Milan's 2nd 3 minutes in which basically killed the game. Tomori got sent off for a second bookable offence and Roma scored a late one with a deflected shot by Kalulu. All in all, still reckon Milan is a threat to PSG in our CL group but can be dealt with if we score the goals at the right time. Still loads of quality players there.

 

Lazio stunned Napoli at the Maradona on Saturday evening, led by a fine performance by their Spanish midfield maestro, Luis Alberto. This was quite a surprise, looking at how both sides started their campaigns (Napoli with straight wins, and Lazio with straight losses).

 

Pogba returned a positive doping test...

 

Letting him go for free again looks better and better as the days go by.

 

Hopefully they slap him with a multi-million pound fine as well if guilty to really set an example

 

FORZA INTER!!!!!

 

...........

 

After a 4-1 defeat to Genoa tonight, AS Roma find themselves in 15th with one victory from their opening six games.

Third season syndrome rearing it’s ugly head again for Mourinho?

 

Lazio in the bottom half too. Barbarians are at Rome’s gates.

 

Udinese firmly in 17th after a 5th draw (to go with 3 losses). Should be thankful that none of bottom-feeder Empoli’s 2nd half chances bent twine this afternoon. Really need Gerard Deulofeu to return, hopefully in about 3 weeks.
(Otherwise it is for sure a Season to Survive.)

 

Watched Milan/Juve last night. Not great but loads of absentees. Milan started without Maignan, Kalulu, Hernandez, Bennacer & Krunic while Juve didn't have Vlahovic in its starting 11. Milan CB Malick Thiaw got sent off in the first half for a stupid shirt pull and Juve (who didn't look like being a man up in fairness) scored from a deflected shot by Locatelli.

We're hosting Milan on Wednesday. A rout is expected by Enrique is still playing us in a easily containable 442. I dread to think what Leao will do to us if Hakimi doesn't start.

 

Have we just seen the goal of the season contender last night from Inter Milan?

Unreal goal.

 

When I saw the pic of Mazzarri at kicker.de I first thought that Napoli hired Hollywood Actor Alec Baldwin as Coach

There is a resemblance to be fair
