Re: Serie A discussion
I am so fed up with the coverage of Serie A on Bein Sport this season, it is pathetic. E.g. Verona and Torino was an 8:30pm Ko and instead they show a replay of La Liga, just crap.
Torino still undefeated, if you see the highlights, checkout the penalty given to Verona for nothing over than an air swing by the striker that then fell over and gets a penalty. Pathetic refereeing.
As I suspected, Inter looking very good as are Roma.
Juve still shaky Juventino or just gelling? I have not seen their game.

Re: Serie A discussion
It was a frustrating game. You could see some players were not on the same page and nothing really clicked.
Re: Serie A discussion
Ok, the hunt is on. Juve on the board. A win against Frosinone would set up a big early match with Napoli on the weekend.

Re: Serie A discussion
Napoli were strepitoso against Lazio
Insigne is on fire we just need to stay tight at the back.
Allan looks to be very good business at €9 million plus the Zapata two year loan
Jorginho has a new lease of life as well

Re: Serie A discussion
Important it was
Great result but the performances are the most encouraging thing- the players seem to have bought in to Sarri's philosophy.
Allan is massive for us and Jorginho has been reborn
Insigne's game is at a different level now. Higuain now has 10 goals in his last 7 games at the San Paolo.
Massive two games now vs Milan and Fiorentina

Torino going along nicely, good win with 9 men. Palermo are a good team from what I saw.

Re: Serie A discussion
Spot on, they held the ball very impressively. Not fun to watch even though we had chances to draw level if only Zaza got his head up. We were simply out played. Napoli need to take that form into Europe.Juventino wrote:Napoli were a step above us, it was a very poor performance by Juve.

Its difficult to take the Europa League seriously before the semi's & you see the Champions League carrot dangling.

Re: Serie A discussion
I know Milan aren't a great side at the moment but that was impressive
Insigne's first goal was 18 passes in the making
Ticking along ok, massive vs Fiorentina now

Re: Serie A discussion
Another super performance but Fiorentina do have real quality.
The players look like they have real belief in Sarri's plan and Hamsik is now showing his real quality not just in fits and spurts
Higuain is just lethal

Re: Serie A discussion
Have a look at my last few posts over the last few weeks - all about him
You're right this looks like it's his year and his time to shine
I just love that it's a local lad carrying them forward - did you see the tifo before the game??
I love him

Good win, Pipita on target again.
This team is still growing but they have to believe they can win something this season.
Was a banana skin this morning potentially but really should have won by more
Midweek vs Palermo at home looking forward to it

Re: Serie A discussion
5 in a row
2 goals conceded in the last 7 games. We conceded over 40 last year, imperative this continues
Higuain........ Again!!!

football. The next 3 games difficult but winnable in my opinion, genoa away, udinese home and hellas verona
away before the big game against inter at home, enjoying being a supporter always but at the moment very happy

Re: Serie A discussion
or Torino, in real trouble atm, Padelli has cost about 3 goals in the last 2 games alone.
Should be a cracker derby on Sunday morning![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Maybe cos' your NOT getting the favourable calls this year as previous years from the Ref's!
Who would of thought Chiellini would get a red card for doing what he does best.
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Roma will win the title, and get all the help from the ref's!

it was like a nightmare re-run of last years game, should have won, should have drawn but lost with the last kick of the game.
Came down to GK's in the end, Buffon world class and Padelli = to serie C, plus the absence of 8 first choice players through injury didn't help.
How Buffon saved both of el capitano Glik's 2 headers I'll never know.
At least Allegri had the class to concede Toro were probably unlucky not to win.
On a bright note, we at least are scoring against old lady regularly and the derby della mole is of interest again.
Forza Toro!
Inter next
