I expect a scrappy 1-0 with defending from the moment we score and a lot of pressure in the end

I kind of feel Lyon is a bit soft too. A technical team in the midfield and upfront, but a bit unfocused and maybe with a weak defense. As I said, if our minimum objective is reaching the semis - and then challenging for the title - we need to win this. Gotta smash them from the start, be...

This is possibly the most important game for us in the group stage. Must win to get that 1st place, and getting the 1st place is fundamental for our chances of achieveing the semis, in view of the drawing. I mean, a loss here would endanger even our qualifying chances. The draw at home against...

Yes, he simply can't pick one between Higuain and Aguero. And after a full game without a proper midfield in the game before, what he does next? Keep only 2 mids and finishes the game with Mascherano - Dybala - Di Maria - Aguero - Higuain - Pratto. No joke

Man, the Argentina coach Bauza is stubborn as fuck. Amazingly dumb decisions

As a rule, we should refuse to do these kind of deals with the fat mobster, when we are held hostage to his 25% piece and to his pressure to sell the player. But exceptionally it is something we must do. Pogba is the utmost example. Kean is the next on the line, and honestly, Pogba already...

Signing Verratti would be quite a miracle... it's so unrealistic I can't even get a boner on this

Gabbiadini is very injury prone also. But I think he's good enough to keep Napoli winning most games vs smaller teams.

Well, he did it in Atletico too and his sadness/decrease in drive is noticeable this season so far. He just seem to be too competitive to hold a non important spot in a squad.

Hm, thanks for the info. I was just listing the most hyped young mids out there, I don't follow any of them. But Ziyech is an attacking midfielder while Bazoer is more like a complete CM who can also play DM, right? They seem to play at different positions. Apparently Tielemans also didn't...

Mandzukic, Cuadrado, Lemina, Licht, all must absolutely play. Ideally we should rest Dybala and Pjanic too, but I don't think that will be possible. Pjaca out is a bummer. Sturaro can't replace Pjanic. To fit Licht and Cuadrado together, it should be a 433: Buffon Licht Bonucci...

I know, but even if we didn't go for him before, that's no reason to not still try to sign him while we can. Even though Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern will be all over him, so now it got more difficult. I just think that when you identify this kind of talent, if you have 1% of chance of...

I think they really should go for talent now, instead of more competitive pieces to complete the team, who end up expensive as well because of wages (i.e. Witsel). For example, Dembele to me is the next big thing in world football after Neymar - Dybala. I was astonished when I saw him playing...

Mandzukic is an asset but only if his mindset settles to be a regular backup. That's going to be his position in any top club he wants to go anyway. So it's up to him. He can be the backup in the best clubs, be the starter in lower level clubs or forget about competitive football and become...

Verratti is amazing, but we will never sign him while the Arabic guy still owns PSG and he's still under contract. I mean, even Matuidi did everything to leave and he wasn't allowed. Go figure Verratti

Saw a bit of him today and he looked better to me. Not as slow as it seemed. More active

Sure. But it's not about his looks, it's about his movement. He's thick, definitely, but I say heavy when I see him moving. Still feel he could improve his agility/acceleration a bit if he loses fat. But that's not happening anyway, it looks like it's just the way his body is right now and...

His performance has been outstanding, but he's still kind of heavy. If it can be improved, why not? Anyway, that belly is going nowhere I believe.

With the Argentina outfit he clearly has a belly still lol. How is that even possible with such amount of training/playing time? It would be nice if he lost a few more kgs to gain a bit more agility

God how perfect would Banega be for us. Weird that Marotta never considered him, it would have been his classic signing.
