:lol:

He must be happy that Carlo is rotating the squad. Cant have him doing the same mistakes as Sarri.
If Ancelotti can get them out of the group stages (perhaps even fluke a QF spot) and make them finish in the top 4, I honestly think ADL couldn’t complain. It’s not like he invested heavily in the transfer market anyway.

The "merda" fans are some special bunch, quotes from FIF:

-I didn't see the first half, but Napoli players really seem upset with the referee.

-Well, he changed the course of the game and has been giving Sampdoria free fouls for nothing and no fouls to Napoli just because he felt like it.

This is pretty much how our season will look as well, just like vs Bologna. As long as we're within reach of Juventus we'll be witnessing some serious shit and people who won't be watching the games will be like "wtf are you complaing about? you're 20 points behind" and "you lost 3-0, stop complaing about the ref"...

-yep, it could be seen from the first games that rubentus are given a clear path for the scudetto, to properly focus on winning the champions league.
i do think too that we will get rekt hard once we string some wins together.

The league contenders have played some rubbish spells of football but you can give some credit to their opponents as well. When they get the chance they can play some excellent football and cause problems. Napoli's bench should still beat Samp. Roma's should beat Atalanta at home. And the same with Inter against Torino and Sass. But these smaller teams didn't just scr@pe goals, they dominated periods of play with positive approaches.

Even Parma made a pretty good go of it yesterday in parts. It's interesting to watch some of the minnows and middle table stragglers show not just fight but real finesse, compactness and quick collective movement of the ball. Cattenacio has had little to do with it.

Jorginho leaving a hole in that midfield too coupled with Dries and Callejon not starting will compound on you quickly

:agree: I noticed last season that the smaller sides seemed bolder and not content to play for a 0-0

Its something I always liked about the Premier League (and La Liga lacks), the small sides go all out to get something from the game.

As far as Jorginho goes, it was fair enough to assume that Hamsik or Diawara could step up into that role.

They are a special bunch. Only thing comparable are Trump supporters.

I’m not happy that they acquired our boy Meret. That broken arm though is devastating for the yung g. Can’t believe we relinquished his rights
