Looks like event the bookies have caught on. I was expecting something like 3/1 or 4/1 odds for Atalanta.

As much as I like their play, the hype surrounding Atalanta is too much. The remind me of Atletico in as much as everyone wanting to avoid them but in the critical games particularly against Real, that winning experience would get Real through and that was always a sure bet. I think counter attacking teams will punish Atalanta just as City did in the group stages.
It's hard to hold the City away game against them, City is perhaps the only team in Europe who has the passing ability to exploit them consistently like that on the counter. Atalanta dominated them for large portions of the return match and really should have won. But this is a different Atalanta team from those matches, far more confident in their abilities and on hellish form right now.
The thing is what happens when he takes a big boys job?!
When he did well at Genoa I wanted him and then he went to Inter and did an awful job.
Now he is at Atalanta and is playing the kind of football that a top team can definitely adapt and if you see these players scoring that much then at a team like Juve when the there are bigger names - he could do even better.

the goal he scored against us was vicious. like him, good workrate (it's a given with gasp's players) too. i checked his former clubs the other day, finding him was an other incredible scouting job from atalanta, fits their system very nicely. i'd love to see the opta data they are working with before picking a player.
Unfair to judge him based on his failed spell at Inter
They knew before signing him that his teams played a 3-4-3/3-4-1-2 hybrid style and didn’t sign any players to suit that formation. Sacked him after 10 or 11 games or something. Wasn’t given a proper chance and tbh, better coaches than him have failed at that shit club.
