I think it was Martin who said it best 'Serie A is too cynical', the smaller teams go to place just to solely defend and rarely attack, and unfortuantly some people see that as a good thing, you can say as much as you want about teams in England having crap defences, I wonder if they'd be that bad if they like some italian teams set there line-ups solely for defending...

roma-lazio is always a great game, and normally a great result...damn you di canio!

Yes, they were all poacher goals, but so what? They were a few out of what? 90 odd or something between them (guess)...I take it ALL of Juve's goals have been brilliant this season? And none whatsoever have been tap-ins?

I could think of loads of goals by Chelsea and Liverpool that havent been like that...so to pick 4 goals out of all them to prove that in EPL 'scrappy' goals are scored is just crap!

Believe me if Del Piero played in the EPL he will score a better goal than his 1st against Siena every 2 week....

He failed in Italy and made an almost instant impact in the EPL,that should say something.It's true that he played as a winger here,but that's his accustomed role in the NT and given his repertiore of skills he should have made it here.

Mutu made it in the serie a but didnt in England the same goes for Veron and Crespo.

Veron was set up to fail moving to the EPL. Natural playmakers cannot thrive in the EPL because the game is not suited for them, being too ugly and haphazard. The EPL has the least amount of South Americans in the top five leagues, and there is a good reason for that. They understand that if they want to play good football, they will go to either Italy or Spain. Crespo and Veron were just caught up in the moneybags.

or maybe its just to fast paced and they need to much time on the ball and space to do something.

Natural playmakers can thrive in england btw. Do some research.

Yes of course. Although space is not something you get freely in the other top leagues as well.
