- Thread starter Azzurri7
- Start date
You think I use twitter?i'm getting annoyed by the complains about the points we dropped, and people who are barely or not even 20 talking about "maturity" of the team
Before the season, these same people had huge doubts about conte, calling us a provincial mid table team, calling our summer mercato shit, predicting us to finish no were near the champions league spots
as it is, we are the most domminant team on the field in italy, aside from vidal/vucinic/pirlo have the exact same starting team as last year. we have been gelling very good and improved alot as a team and defensive unit.
we took on nearly all the big teams away from home, aside from udinese resceduled game got easy end of first half of the season.
we are leading with udinese who'll fail later, and have a sizabale advantage over 5th spot, with all competitors having a much heavyer schedule untill game 20.
on lineups, for novarra

It's not Novara that worries me. It's the fact that for the first time we'll be missing three regular starters. Conte created a group that did fine and we managed to do ok when one important player was missing. Now we will miss two instrumental players, Mirko and Vidal + another regular, Bonucci. It's not just that we're losing quality but we also won't have that compact group that took us to the top of serie A.
We will need an early goal or two.
