If we somehow win the CL all will be forgiven. Pirlo was part of Ancelotti's AC Milan who was awful in the league, bar 2004, and great in the CL so maybe that's his priority lol
I can see us beating Porto as we arent a bad team, we are just not that great either...
Then if we face Liverpool,PSG,Bayern,Real Madrid (yeah even them), Atletico Madrid, City and I am sure I forgot some other names - I can see us getting eliminated unless some miracle happens..
We can control the game but we dont do anything with this control while we always provide our opponents with free gifts (even in the Napoli game which we looked more solid than usual - Napoli got 2 great chances and also that penalty although I cant really blame McKennie..)

Lol at people gaining hope after supercoppa. We looked like conceding every time under real pressure, our GK was our best player.
It was the same as before, when you have superior talent you’ll win some and lose some, and luckily we won this. Pirlo is still clueless. He ain’t getting sacked, so the roller coaster season is far from over.
Inter wasn’t rock bottom, with this midfield and defense we have multiple Fiorentina type losses coming.
It is more likely than unlikely that we finish in top 4 but the problem is we should never talk about a top 4 finish...
GK was great? - He was good but honestly the balls went straight at him more than he made these amazing saves.
Napoli blew it with these chances although we were certainly the better team and fully deserved our win.
Optimism - I could find optimism with changes made in the club but I see no changes, just same old coach who still cant make as productive after half a season.
Controlling the game is very nice but it is more important to create chances and be solid (and we lack both of these)
