What I LOL is Max appears every week talking about on pace to get a top 4 and CL qualification. Which is so true but makes it seems like a great accomplishment. The eye test though watching most of entire year shows no consistent structure of play. Hit and miss isn't good enough.
A month ago said no way to can Max until after season when CL seemed a certainty. Only a short-term sub manager in place with no guarantee to do more in producing points.
Current standings
59 Juve thru 30
52 Roma thru 30
50 Atalanta thru 29
Though now thinking next 3 matches could change my thinking. Need 7 points from Fiore, Torino and Cagli to get to 66. Reasonably tough last 5 being AC Milan (H), Roma (A), Salern lol (H), Bologna (A) and Monza (H). Seeing from negative viewpoint getting only 6 points from last 5. How can I not with 7 points in last 9 league matches including Rugani's gift from the soccer Gods agains Fros.
Plenty of hypo here but 13 from above adds up to 72 for Juve. Roma has difficult 8 match schedule remaining and see little to none chance of even reaching 72 points.
Atalanta I believe could be the issue on top 4 looking at schedule. Hopefully worn down playing lots of matches with Coppa and Europa? League schedule with 9 to go with very winnable matches against Cagli, Verona, Empoli, Monza, Salern, and Lecce. Add in Roma, Torino and Fiore all (H) and who knows?
Hypo again but could Atalanta get 24 points from above 9 making it to 74? Max and Co need to start with 3 points against Fiore.
