2015-16 Italian Serie A Discussion

It's kind of amazing how bad they are. Lately their defense looks as bad as it was last year.

[magik9113]

Poor half from Juve vs Frosinone and Napoli are 0-0 still with Carpi as well.

[magik9113]

Nice work by Cuadrado

scored the winner again

[J-Mezzy]

Needs to play more often, he's a good player

It's kind of amazing how bad they are. Lately their defense looks as bad as it was last year.

If Mancini can get them to CL that would be amazing.

Bang average squad. The only player I like is Perisic who has been a big loss for Wolfsburg this season.

I still think Roma will finish 3rd. El Shaarawy is a terrific signing for them.

[El Turco]

they have almost zero players with top technical prowess and creativity, didnt watch today but whenever i watch them their backline just hoof the ball and hope eder and icardi do something with it.

[magik9113]

Icardi, Eder, Jovetic are great fwds but yea they need some talent in the midfield Kondogbia hasn't been good enough and Melo should be in Serie C.

The race for 3rd is going to be a good one. For Roma, even bigger than the El Sha signing was getting a great coach in Spalletti. Fiorentina, Inter, and even Milan are all still in the running though.

Mancini LOL

This dude is horrible. I actually just lied. He is beyond horrible.

[DD12]

It's not even fun making jokes about this Inter team anymore.
They probably finish the season below Milan.

this guy..

Saturday is set to be a fantastic game. It is all I will be thinking about all week and I'm nervous as heck.
Napoli will likely start of their obvious formation/lineup:
---------------Reina------------------
Hysaj--Albiol--Koulibaly--Ghoulam
----Allan--Jorginho--Hamsik----
--Callejon---Higuain---Insigne--

while Juve have injuries to Chiellini, Evra, Khedira, Asamoah, Mandzukic, and Caceres to deal with. The injuries to the defense leaves needing to decide whether to play 3 or 4 in the back. They will probably start like this:
--------------------Buffon---------------------
---------Rugani--Bonucci--Barzagli-----------
------Sturaro-----Marchisio-----Pogba-------
Licht/Cuadrado-------------------------Sandro
--------------Dybala-----Morata-------------

We are at home and should win but it won't be easy

[Baphomet]

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to Juve vs. Napoli. I give Juve the edge in this one because it's in Turin, but Napoli have been really good away from home lately too.

Fiorentina vs. Inter coming up on Sunday too. Should be a good weekend.

[magik9113]

I always talk of the offense but Jorginho has been having a great season

[magik9113]

Can't wait for tomorrow's game. The wait has been torturous.

Roma-Carpi today. Roma are much better to watch under Spalletti. I don't hate them much anymore now that Rudi is gone, they brought in El Sha, and they pose no threat to Juve.

[magik9113]

Lasagna! Scored vs Inter and now v Roma.......1-1 61st minute

[Merc_Porto]

1-3 Roma

[Baphomet]

Lasagna! Scored vs Inter and now v Roma.......1-1 61st minute

Kevin Lasagna is single-handedly keeping the art of food puns alive.

[magik9113]

Lol he's so just delicious. I believe Real is going to drop around 13 goals on Roma between the two games.

Nice goal from Digne though and Dzeko finally got another goal.

Roma move into third-- one point ahead of Fiorentina and two ahead of Inter, making Sunday's match between those two even bigger.

[Baphomet]

I expect that game to be a little closer than the 1-4 we saw in Milan. Doubt Miranda will get a dumb sending off again.

Still, given current form, I think Fiorentina will still probably take it. I'll be watching them with interest, since Spurs play them in the EL soon.

[magik9113]

Juve going with the 4-4-2.
Fortunately Khedira is fit and will start. I don't get why Allegri still prefers Evra over Sandro...other than that it is a great lineup.

Buffon; Licht, Bonucci, Barz, Evra; Cuadrado, Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba; Dybala, Morata.

If things are going well it will end up looking more like a 4-3-3

[DD12]

it is gonna be a crazyyy gameeeeeeee...

everybody is watching this game like it used to when Serie A was the best league.
