2015-16 Italian Serie A Discussion

[magik9113]

I am convinced that this formation was a disaster but props to Allegri for having the balls to take out Dybala for Alex Sandro.

Crappy game but both defenses were brilliant. That Bonucci save was as big as the goal since Higuain would have scored easily

[J-Mezzy]

There must be something with water in Colombia.

Literally every single player from Colombia has minus IQ. It is unbelievable but seriously. Cuadrado was Napoli's 12th guy on the pitch.

Many South American players are poor decision makers. Having said that, James, Falcao, Valderrama, Cordoba, Yepes, etc were not low iq players. Cuadrado is not that bad, just a tendency to over dribble

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.

I kind of expect a draw. Depends on which Inter defense shows up.

Last year I felt certain Fiorentina would beat Tottenhan in EL but this season Tott Should take it. Something about Fiorentina make me feel they're just not good enough anymore. Maybe I'm just pissed they didn't play Rossi

With our league campaign taking a turn for the better, I can honestly see us playing a very weakened squad against la Viola. Can't arse about in the EL when you're in a title race, sadly.

Inter go 1-0 up against the run of play, but it's a lovely move and finish from Brozovic.

That is a good point. I need that to happen since I still believe in this whole Italy jumping England in the coefficient thing

[El Turco]

typical mancini game, playing scared for 65 minutes. not sure how people thought this team would have a chance at title.

[Foye]

Another loss for Inter

[Foye]

Down a goal in 95th minute Inter players don't even manage to execute a proper throw in lmao.

[El Turco]

told ya they would fall off the map. although it happened even earlier than my expectations, thought they would fall off around march not early february.

[magik9113]

they shoulda got a midfielder. Coulda taken Hernanes back for free.

Mancini out

Roma is probably the best bet as a squad to represent serie A in CL
...what a sad thought.

Mancini is a horrible coach but let's not forget today's referee. Absolutely one sided game all game long. Telles' red card is laughable. He touched the ball first and it is not even a foul forget about the yellow card. All game, he favoured fiorentina in every single time.

Now mancini. As we told you many times, he is an awful AWFUL coach. This dude is afraid of attacking. If he has a chance, he can field 11 sweeper every single game. No one could tell me inter has a horrible team. With even an average coach - not a world class coach - they will do just fine.

[magik9113]

Yea the ref really did blow it for Inter. I mostly just can't stand watching them.

I always considered Mancini a decent coach but it's been a while since he won the premier league. This year has been awful, masked by the first five games where they won by 1 vs bad teams. Since then their only wins vs mentioning have been 1-0 vs Roma in October, 4-0 vs Udinese in December, and 2-0 bs Napoli in Coppa.

I would start Jovetic at trequartista instead of the 4-3-3

Exactly but there is no way he can play with two strikers.

I mean Jovetic is on the bench and **** Palacio is playing.

Ljajic is on the bench, Biabiany is on the bench, Jovetic never plays.

If you want 4-3-3, fine you can play. But you can't play this 4-3-3 with Medel-Kondogbia-Brozovic. You need creativity in at least one of these players. You don't have it. Then change it.

This team would be fine with 4-4-2.

Ljajic on the right, Eder on the left - Melo-Kondogbia or Melo-Brozovic or Medel-Brozovic or any combination with these four except Melo-Medel. Jovetic-Icardi all the way top. This formation can't be worse than what he is having with 1 striker alone by himself and closest person is 40 meters far away from him.

Juve drew Bologna 0-0.
Napoli play at home vs Milan on Monday

[Merc_Porto]

i wasn't expecting this draw from Juve.

Napoli back on top if they win against Milan.

[magik9113]

Huge match for Napoli.
Milan is unbeaten in like 9 games I believe...hopefully they can pull out a draw.
but at the end of the day, if Juve were to win CL they can get relegated and I wouldn't care one bit

[El Turco]

top guns are all in top six, good sign for italian football

[magik9113]

1-1 at halftime. You can do it Milan


Edit: and that's how it finished. Juve remain first place by one point.

[El Turco]

6 in a row by roma, already up 5 points on inter

spaletti deserves some props
