I haven't seen la viola this season yet, but are they really so poor? It doesn't feel like more than 5 minutes ago people were waxing lyrical about Italiano?
They are pretty poor. Italiano is probably too idealistic with his attacking football, making problems for his defending game in the process.

I still have nightmares from that 5-4 loss a few years ago.
That Handanovic "dive but somehow remains still" + Babacar combo still haunts me

That fucker Babacar always turned into God mode whenever he played against us. Also a Vecino doppietta in that match who had 0 Serie A goals before the match. :lol:

Banter Inter was something else.

I'm convinced that was the sole reason we decided to pay 25M for Vecino. Nothing quite screamed peak Banter like spending 30 million to reassemble Fiorentina's midfield at our club.

No matter how poor they might look, playing away against Fiorentina was never an easy match for us.
Exactly. We never had an easy win there from what i remember. And Fiorentina was always shit, it's not like they were incredible the last years. Last time Fiorentina were good was 2015 when G.Rossi was still there.. so not important how bad they are, it's still hard.

They predict same lineup with the match against Salernitana. If Bastoni gets benched for a second match in a row then we have another asset that gets wasted by Inzaghi in order to play his favorites.

To be fair he hasn't gave Correa the favouritism.

Fiorentina don't pose much threat, comfortable 3-0 en route here.

We don't know anything what's happening there so I wouldn't draw any conclusions.

Acerbi has been flawless to be honest

Bastoni as LCB had a way tougher tasks compared to Acerbi who plays as a sweeper. We were superior with Perisic as LWB because did almost everything, both defensively and offensively, so we had too much of luxury with him compared to Di Marco who is quite vulnerable.

My point is that Acerbi usually has a slightly easier task in the middle because he has two great CB's aside of him, meanwhile both of Bastoni and Skriniar have rather poor support by Di Marco and Dumfries from the flanks. Darmian is defensively superior to Dumfries but he hasnt played that much compared to the lattest one. So the biggest reason we are struggling defensively is because we are missing a Perisic - Darmian duo as wingbacks.

Sweeper? This is not 1998.
And last game Acerbi played LCB, and DeVrij was in the middle.

Must be resting or something. There's no way bastoni gets dropped after his performance at Barcelona.

The middle one in the 3-men CB is always a dirigent to the other two and a kind of gives orders and dictates the tempo in a slight different way than LCB or RCB, and other than last game, Acerbi has played instead of de Vrij in the middle though.

They say he had fever.

Also latest is Correa is starting. Could work if we play counter attack and defence. And mostly it's of course about giving rest to Dzeko anyway.

This kind of game is built for Correa, can see him getting a double today if he starts.
