only 10 points*

I don't understand why it would be surprising if Inter win...they had a great summer and have no Europe to worry about. Juve went undefeated after finishing 7th place.

Lol Mass, you're not even trying anymore are you? I thought I'd get trolled harder than this, as opposed to those appalling hashtags. (Never figured you to be a hashtag kind of guy)

Inter will win the league unless Juve comes back with something like 10+ in a row.

Inter will finish the league ahead of Roma for sure though. I called it way before anyway. Inter's midfield is as good as any team in the world. More importantly, they have the most winner mentality player, Felipe Melo. Inter will probably win the league and Melo will be the MVP.

Still not worried. I hope no one panics and just fires Allegri, coz he's proved he's a great coach, not his fault that players like Pogba and Morata don't wanna play football anymore. Only the defenders try, Bon, Chiel, Licht, they always leave it all out on the pitch. I bet if Buffon was there last night, he would have come out to punch or gather the ball, that was some weak crap from Neto not coming out.

If/when Inter don't win the scudetto I'm sure it will be at least 70% Melo's fault.

They are going to win because of him. I am telling you one more time: he is not the same melo that you remember. I watched him for years every week. If Gala made it to quarter finals, league trophies etc. it is all because of him.

Great game all around, saving that penalty is gonna be so good for MDS confidence too, this is the type of result we needed right now. With that said Carpi are terrible, couldnt even park the bus against us properly. 10 men behind the ball most of the game and they still conceded 5 goals lol.

also somehow Gervinho has looked not awful the last 2 games, hopefully this continues.

at the moment the disaster that are juve can mostly be blamed on allegri + injuries. i dont understand why he doesnt play Sandro, bringing him on at the end of the game after evra was so poor was a joke. Hernanes looked absolutely awful through no fault of his own, allegri has no idea where to play him. also not starting cuadrado was a horrendous mistake. just horrible subs on top of a horrible starting lineup/formation. why take off dybala (or anyone really) instead of zaza who was absolutely useless most of the game?

I'm not sure having a healthy midfield will fix everything, but it will help, i think they just lost too many key players and are rebuilding.

Why is San Paolo always so empty btw?

They were playing Juve. Everywhere else in Europe this game would've been a sellout.

Post #295 » by **magik9113** » Sun Sep 27, 2015 2:30 pm

50,000 people isn't empty specially considering many stadiums in Italy don't even hold that much. I'm not sure why they couldn't get more for last night though.

I don't exactly know what the problem with Juve is. During injury crises in past seasons we would continue to win. But there are several things that are problematic....
Hernanes is crap and Padoin played last night, so there is that. Marchisio is still hurt but Lemina has been fantastic, a very important purchase.
Sandro has not been good. He gives possession away far too easily, he needs more time to adjust to the league.
Then the injuries to Morata and Mandzukic make it so Zaza must play.....this is a problem because he has been embarrassingly bad all season. Too many injuries hurts chemistry when we have so many new players.
We will not lose to Sevilla on Wednesday though, and after the upcoming international break we are set to be at full strength(knock on wood) with Marchisio, Mandzu, Morata, and even Asamoah and Khedira fit.

Allegri's Juventus are the opposite of Conte's Juve. Good in Europe, sh*t in the league.

Would be a sad end to the Pogba era if they missed out on CL. Should have sold him this summer. They actually accepted Chelsea's bid, but Pogba wanted to stay because he wants to move to Barcelona in 2016.

Torino are a good team with a fantastic coach in Ventura and lots of young Italian players like Benassi:
