Name me a team (beside Barca) that wouldn't have De Rossi as a starter?
Many teams have weak MC spot and DM are quite rare, that doesn't imply much. Box to box are modern nowadays so I see those same teams skipping players like DDR. Manchester City would sign him and get tons of fans and money out of it, but he's not even as close good as Yaya.

If we were to compare De Rossi with someone I'd never compare him with world class players, he simply doesn't belong there.

Pogba showed more than him in only 5 matches he played, compared to De Rossi's years spent there. Even Moussa Sissoko is showing more.

It's only a fact that DDR has done NOTHING over the past 3-4 seasons. His game is not even influential at the moment, you can't even say 'they miss him cause he's suspended'. He was a beast when he started playing, but it was a different role and he was actually showing great potential. Hell, he was even fast. Later on everything disappeared and right now he's an average player and no chance in hell he's a world class player. Tactically he's good but even some talentless players got that. He's making too many mistakes. Pizarro was always the one carrying the game but somehow De Rossi was the one who was getting all the credit. He's not even as good as V from Vidal and I'm not being biased there.

i wonder if this ref feels like giving chievo a penalty tonight
fucks us up and gets to ref a couple of weeks after(last week was behind goal) while others who "favoured" Juve or fucked up the milanese, nipples or nazio are nowhere to be seen at a football game but can be found at a local McDonald's flipping burgers.

I just realised that all of the current champions/title holders in the big leagues are screwing up, with exception of Juve. Real Madrid are having a horrid season in the league, Dortmund are 15 points behind Bayern and City aren't going to defend their title either.

I wonder why.

True, but Klopp and Mourinho aren't mediocre coaches.

I also just realised that - out of all the top leagues - we have the smallest gap in point difference to the number 2 in the league.

Bayern - Dortmund: 15 points
United - City: 12 points
Barcelona - Atletico: 12 points
PSG - Lyon: 6 points

January wasn't nice to us.

If we didn't draw to Parma and lose to Sampdoria, we'd be cruising right now.

Was quite amusing seeing Milan playing against Cagliari's technically superior midfield.

Milan weren't able to force any sort of tempo due to not having a decent ball-player, so it was pretty easy for Cagliari to shuffle around and deny them space.

All Milan had was to get the ball to Niang to take on the young LB and fire a cross into the near post. That didn't get them anywhere, though, because Balotelli never showed the slightest interest in making a near-post run or making any effort to get in front of one of the defenders in the way a proper CF like Pazzini would have done.

Don't understand why Astori feels the need to commit so many fouls. He's a good defender and doesn't need to do it. Does he not have enough belief in himself to play without continually going through the back of people or grabbing folk in the box?
