We've always scraped it but this time around especially these two napoli games where we are taking one of the best in Italy in a hostile environment we suffered immensely. Suffering is normal but this is torture and we shouldn't be in this position. I'm genuinely worried about our CL clash. Screw the delusion we seriously gonna shoot ourselves Our pride was our defence but I've yet to see a pure masterclass from them against a decent opposition, maybe it's the formation but we need to fix this ASAP. On the positive the only thing I'm ever confident of is our attack we do get the goals. It's a strange team we have when compared to the one we has in 2015. I don't give a fuck about coppa italia all that matters is we fix this shot before the CL because that is the make or break.

Napoli are such a classless club.

Weird game, overall we played better than Sunday but lost. Our defending was shambolic though.

Rincon is a defensive mid who can't defend which is worrying. Neto and Benatia are both capable of some excellent plays but it always seems like there is a mistake in them. Sturaro is useless.

Glad for Higuain. Thought Cuadrado was great and proved how important he is to play Barcelona. Barzagli sorted out some manic defending at the end.

PIssed off at our CBs lately. Our experienced Italian defenders and Benatia have been playing with a supremely lackadaisical and arrogant attitude. Making countless mistakes with positioning, passing, marking. They need to get their heads out of their asses and start concentrating.

They aren't helping our build-up play either with all the stupid giveaways and bad clearances where they hoof the ball back to the other team while under little pressure. It's not just making us poor at the back, it's also neutering our ability to build into attack.

Sick of it. Start Rugani-Barza if the other 3 can't sort their shit out.

- We are in the final
- No injuries
- Pipa brace
- Not a lot of energy wasted in the game.

Im happy, but please no more Benatia and Neto in important games like these. + Rugani needs to get more minutes.

But getting 3 goals in your own net is a bit worrying, no matter how you look at it. We need more work.
Wait, I thought cuadrado was injured?

The biggest problem with the team is that when we start defending a lead deep, we gift the ball to the opponent as soon as we get it. We try too many dribbles and risky passes; just do the simple stuff and keep some posession. I don't understand why Allegri hasn't addresses that issue.

Anyone who criticized that Dybala-Barzagli sub is pretty damn stupid

And I'm not even saying that because of my love for the great wall, Rugani for example would have done the same job. But we desperately needed that, were completely swimming the 15 minutes before the sub
Not even close. We need to close the wings and Stu were dead tire at the end so the RIGHT sub was Asa-Stu. Napoli game plan is go deep on the wing or cross the ball to the FB backs so Why do you need another CF when you problems are in the wings????? Cuz you decide there's nothing you can do to avoid that so... far for being the best choice

Another final, good job. 3 at the back did wonders to stop Napolis attack: that's how Atalanta kept them completely cold when they won 2-0 and we barely gave Napoli a chance after we switched. No idea why anyone would question that decision to switch off Dybi who was useless most game anyway.

Higuain got his confidence back and scored in a massive crunch game, which is great news going into the Barca game

:tup:

Maybe these guys need consistency, there's been too much rotation. In benatia's defence the guys barely played he needs more serie A start, either way whoever we play as cb in our next game must start against barca too
