This has got to be the worst serieA in recent memory. With Juventus not being there, Milan just plodding along and Inter totally dominant, its being woeful. Too add to all of that you have matches being played in empty stadia which just adds to the wretchedness of the whole season thus far.
I am all for variety and letting other teams have their day in the spotlight but christ sakes, can they not play decent football along the way as well? The likes of Lazio, Empoli, Catania and other pretenders just play absolutely awful football and less said about Palermo currently the better.
But I think my biggest gripe is the fact that all the managers in serieA are Italian, thats not right for variety of football
Premiership has benefitted enormously witht he influx of people like benitez, mourinho, and wenger, imagine what it would have been like if maclaren was manager of chelsea and other english managers managed Liverpool, arsenal , spurs etc? La liga has spanish managers pitting their wits against aguire, rikhjard, schuster, Capello and Ramos. It just makes is so much better if you have other people with different ideas instead of every team with a manager whose first instinct is not to lose. That imo has been the biggest failure of seriea in recent times. Imagine if Empoli, Lazio, Inter and Roma were Italy's reps next season, by the second round stage Italy will be down to just Inter , most likely and thats not gonna help Italian teams in Cl in the future with Platini trying to cut down
