Guillermo Barros Schelotto is the new coach of Palermo, with Viviani, former assistant coach of Iachini.



Bets on how quick he will get Zamparini:ed?


I say as long as it takes him to finish his gelato.

My position on this has always been clear. Without a vice-marchisio and with marchisio out the team would seriously struggle. I also made the same point about a vice-dybala. I've been blowing this trumpet all season.

Marchisio has returned to full fitness and is in form and the same goes for dybala. I don't think I said anything wrong about that.

I did not expect dybala to slot in this smoothly though so I give you that.

Sorry bro, but you're wrong. He's been at Napoli 3 years now. He couldn't even get his team into the CL places the last 2 seasons. He wilts down the stretch when the games are more important.

Last season for example, Higuain scored 6 goals in Napoli's last 17 games, a major reason they didn't make the CL places. He didn't score against Dnipro in either Semifinal leg causing Napoli to be upset by a massive underdog team. And didn't score in either leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal against Lazio, causing Napoli to go out of that.

So Higuain was a major part of Napoli dropping out of CL places in the league and finishing 4th last year. He was a major part of the Europa League elimination Dnipro. He was a major part of Coppa Italia elimination by Lazio.

Just prior to that he choked all World Cup long for Argentina.

In 2014-15 he choked in everything. World Cup. Stretch run in Serie A. Coppa Italia semi. Europa semi.

He's the best striker in the league in the first half of this season, but I'll wait to see the stretch run in all comps before I decide how impressive his year is.

Plus Higuain with 20 Champion's League Knockout games played. Guess how many goals. 2 goals in 20 CL knockout round games.

This is pretty dumb. Comparing Higuain favourably to Cristiano.

We get it, you don't like Cristiano. But he scores many nice goals. And he has 10 assists already this year. Higuain has 2 assists. Yeah, Higuain is the one assisting regularly.

Again you are expecting him to be the new messi which he clearly is not. He carries Napoli and has carried them for 3 years getting better year by year. You are still stuck with the image you got from his madrid CL games. He didnt lift Napoli to titles or to top 3 positions regularly because this is Napoli. They bring him down not the other way around. So Unless he scores in every big game he is a flop? What about the rest of the Napoli players? A striker who scored 18 goals in a league season has done his job, its up to the rest of the team to do the rest. If I look at a team in a league that I dont even know and see that one player has regularly scored a lot of goals and assists and yet the team still did not do very well then I do not blame that player. I consider him as have done his job and I blame the team/coach as a whole.

Its the same argument people make against Messi with Argentina. Everything good that argentina does goes through the guy both goals and assists. Aguero, Lavezzi and yes Higuain contribute nothing in the entire competition and yet Messi is considered to have flopped for not stepping up in the Germany or Chile games. Suddenly all the performances on the road leading up to these big games is ignored. Argentina would be nowhere without him.

Napoli's issue was never higuain, if anything he is the reason they are seen as a good team. Napoli would have been nowhere without him.

Thought experiment. Remove Higuain from Napoli and imagine Morata is in his place. You take it Napoli would have finished top 3 and won the Europa league?

If a lower-level team played for and through Morata as its main CF, I do think he'd do quite well. He'd score 15+ league goals for sure imo.

I'm not expecting him to be the new Messi. Nor even Cavani or Aguero level. But I do expect him not to tail off so dramatically on the stretch run if he wants to be seen as the top attacker/player in this league. As I said, great players elevate themselves in big games, they also score consistently down the stretch run in the league to help their team qualify for CL/win league titles.

I expect last season's Napoli to be top 3 in the league easily. If not 2nd. Higuain's lack of scoring was huge in them failing to finish top 3. Denying it is ridiculous. He scored in 4 of his last 17 appearances down the stretch run (6 goals). This lack of scoring from their top player caused them to slip down to 4th in the table. Same deal with being eliminated by a minnow club like Dnipro in EL. He had a ton of chances down the stretch, and in that Semi-final, he just lost his finishing touch, he wilted under the pressure.

If he wilts like that down the stretch again this season and Napoli drops to 3rd or lower in the league, I'll absolutely label him a choker again. Going scoreless in 13 of the last 17 games while your team is fighting for a CL spot they are easily good enough for, is just pathetic.

Spalletti flies to Miami for Roma
By Football Italia staff

Luciano Spalletti is reportedly flying to Miami to meet Roma President James Pallotta.

The former Giallorossi boss is the favourite to succeed Rudi Garcia, whose sacking is believed to be imminent.

Sky Italia have reported that Spalletti is travelling to Paris, where he will connect to a flight to the USA and meet Pallotta to discuss taking the job.

However, the same source says that Garcia is running a training session as usual this morning.

The report says that sporting director Walter Sabatini has recently arrived at the training centre and will have a face to face meeting with the Frenchman after training has concluded.
