I agree aboút lack of depth, but where do you guys get that opinion of gobbi winning all their matches? :lol:
Based on winning last seven matches in a row? And their wins are more and more convincing and less last minute wins. Their confidence is now over the moon. Plus they have a coach who is a master at winning scudettos in that way.
Ofc they wont win every match till the end but there will be less and less chances for them to slip. Roma, Lazio away, they gonna win it, they gonna beat all shitty bottom and midtable teams. Beelan can fuck em in Torino, maybe Atalanta too. We also. Napoli needs to regain some form to hurt them. Other then that they gonna cruise past others. Question is will we show up, will we prevail fucking February and what will happen in CL. I am not optimist. I can see us slippin before them.

Because it feels like they have a very easy set of games until gameday 34

I think Juve is going on a crazy run as long Vlahović scores from everywhere

There is no easy games anymore. Second phase of season is always tricky, no matter who you play against. They've already build a momentum over the past few weeks but you guys are overreacting a little bit.

2nd place...wonder if we'll see 1st place again this year.

This feels awfully similar to the season we lost Scudetto to Milan. We had traveled to Bologna in January, Bologna had a covid outbreak, match was postponed and till late April when it was eventually played (with disastrous results) Inter were still with a game in hand.

A game in hand can give you a false security you have situation under control and you can make up for a slip up. But no game is a guaranteed 3 points. You still need to win that game in hand.

Having a game in hand is a trap as you don't have a real representation of league table.

This reminds me 3 season ago when bilanisti thought that we will eventually slip cause we play ugly effective football and there is no way we can win like that whole season. Well, we did it. This rube is like Conte Inter. Ugly effective football with two or three top players that provide magic. Vlahović is best striker this season. Guy is unstoppable. Yildiz is a beast and you have fucking Chiesa coming from bench. We have Ass duo instead. Our mid is better than theirs and thats it.

I hope I am wrong, but do think differently. Allegri has experience of winning Scudetto several times, Inzaghi hasn't even once. That might make the difference.

Our coach is clearly still learning how to win and managing gas at the same time, as rotation in a long season is a must. But more often than not, over-rotating. He tried to get a just-enough strong XI (in his opinion) over Sociedad (x2) and Benfica, failed with goal difference. He tried again vs Bologna, failed in extra minutes. Always a hair-width gap between us losing and winning in decisive matches.

On the other hand, Allegri is doing that the entire season and always succeeds. His team never get tired.

Naive and fox I am seeing. Plus the CL torture is making things in the league worse.

I agree on what you've said about Allegri. In fact, I've been saying for a while now, the reason that they are challenging for Scudeto with this team, is Allegri. Even while they had a period of very poor form, people were going crazy about Allegri being a bad coach, will get sacked and so on, I kept insisting that problem was never Allegri but lack of quality and them being in a transition.

Inzaghi has done very well so far IMO. I don't mean he's faultless, but in overall he's made an improvement in his coaching ability, many times we've complained about his decisions and whatever else, but the team delivered and in quite a lot of times, he was right. Our schedule is far more difficult than gobbi, these CL matches are usually at a very high intensity, and while you're lacking proper backup options, it's even harder, but you don't hear him complaining about lack of depth or throwing his players under the bus.

Hopefully not, but if eventually we lose Scudetto to gobbi, I'd blame our management more than anyone else. You can't expect Inzaghi to come out and complain about it, while it won't matter anything besides of destroying the group. Issues are crystal clear, and not being able to address them can bite us in the ass. I don't even think we have THAT good bench options in midfield, but at least they're still superior to attack, but it is what it is.

Allegri has it much easier actually. He's got far less pressure than Inzaghi and also an easier schedule (considering their lack of mid-week matches in CL).

Ffs, where do you get that "ugly football" under Conte? We weren't as entertaining as we are these days, but by no means ugly football like you describe it. Actually we were very direct and had even more physicality in the team, which made things harder for our opponents.

I've seen our team struggle alot against teams whom focus on physical game because Lautaro isn't that strong, while Thuram gets isolated and then we struggle to be creative. We had so much strength in midfield as well with Vidal. Having both amazing wingbacks with Hakimi and Perisic made us so unpredictable.

That team was deadly and scored for fun. Sounds bizarre to me that people think we played ugly football under Conte.

There is almost nothing in common between Conte's Inter and this side of gobbi. I mean, almost nothing.

I have made a thread with a poll so we can vote who will win Serie A and see later who had better intuition

My post is all about subjectively. I am not blaming Inzaghi or finding a scapegoat here, otherwise post should be in his thread.

Nobody will really care if we have double the goal difference of Juve. Nor we have CL matches while they dont. In history its only recorded Juve is winning a double and we are zero tituli, if they win. Simple as that.

The more it is to the end, the harder it is for us, thats what I wanna say. The chance is inclining on the doom side of winners if we dont start rotating smart.

I just read that the negotiation between Cardinale and the Saudis, who bought Newcastle are in the final stage. The deal for Milan should be about 1.5 billions.

Do not fear friends. We follow Emperor Zhang with the certainty of a sleep walker.

Just yesterday Steven called us via video to motivate the squad ahead of the final. We are all fully focused on bringing home the €8m.

What's the source for this? I haven't seen a single report from any Milan-related or general Italian sources on this.

Yeah, I checked Google and it was mostly SempreMilan garbage...not saying it can't happen but there's no thick smoke to this fire from what I can see.

One Bulgarian sport site, but they didn't post the source. They just claim that Saudis have arrived in Milano to close the negotiations.
