Roma-Napoli tomorrow night.

Should be good.

Could see Roma giving Napoli a thrashing if Napoli aren't right on their game.

They leave the game so open and their mediocre defenders so exposed that Roma could do a lot of damage.

    I heard it didn't stop raining (probably not as heavy of course). But they had freaking towels on the pitch :sergio: Those stadiums are embarrassing...

    Now they say it's gonna be played.

    Indeed, its been said for ages now, Italy's entire football infrastructure is obsolete but its a mentality problem from the beginning. Dont fix it till its broken.

    Napoli look terribly light in midfield in comparison to Roma.

    Mazzarri and his 3-5-2 would most likely neutralize Roma, or at least give them a very hard time. Not so sure about it now.

    Mazzarri would sit deep and not take Roma on in midfield, but have a great attack to threaten on the break.

    It was generally designed to not put too much strain on their fairly indifferent defence.

    Benitez, on the other hand, is not setting up his team in a way that protects his (arguably even weaker than Mazzarri's) defence.

    Exactly and that's what makes Roma look weak, or weaker, like we've seen against Juve.

    If anything I think we'll see goals tonight.

    Winner will most likely win the whole thing.

    Italian football can't be fixed before the country changes.

    I thought people said Pjanic wouldn't be benched. So far, he has been benched in every game Nainggolan has been called up, except from one game where they both started.

    They aren't even playing that good. All they are looking for since their goal is the counter attack.

    Haha, DeLa looks pissed like hell.
