conte needs to get over his eriksen hate and start playing him the full 90

Yeah, Sensi has been more or less complete shit since his return. I don't understand why Sensi is playing, he's mostly hiding behind their players and takes very little part in our buildup play and playmaking. And that's because he's not on the ball ever.

I know we looked like shit, and never deserved to win, but I still don’t know how the fuck Napoli won.
Sometimes being lucky is better then being good.

Biraghi is fucking Lecce level, even Verona RB better than him, fuck him .

We need Ashley Young !! play him in next game or we bust!!!

Barella is poor, Better play Sensi and Eriksen from start...

I don't understand what Biraghi did particularly wrong apart from maybe 1-2 setpieces. Our system is wrong when the opponent is defending as an organized unit.

Like there was NOTHING Young could have achieved more in this match than Biraghi.

Don't have one.
Looked absolutely toothless the whole match, although we have one more match to fix this, still worrying stuff. Maybe that derby win drained us, which is understandable.

What's even worse I don't think we would have played any worse if more players from the bench started this match, which would automatically improved our chances next week against lazio...oh well...

Obviously, the worst of both worlds. Play a midweek game before a huge away game on Sunday and come away with a poor result.

I'm strangely still feeling fine about our chances in Naples when the second leg rolls around, but we're going to have problems, in all likelihood, in Rome that Lazio won't have because they didn't have to play during the midweek.

Just hope that game doesn't end as a loss as well. A draw in that game surely must be seen as acceptable.

Do you want him to step outside of his comfort zone?

We did not show up today to be honest. Looked like we were playing a friendly.

Pretty impotent performance. The derby took some energy of us and we couldn't find a chance in this match. But nothing is lost, we have another leg of this match.

What is pretty suprising to me is the usage of 433 formation by Conte. I didn't expected that, perhaps he isn't that stubborn.

Predictably shit.

On to Sunday, we'll beat them in Naples anyway.

No excuses, we were obviously tired from the derby, didn't rotate sufficiently and now we have on our hands both a loss and a dead squad for the weekend.

Eriksen must start the next game.
Sensi was useless other than one or two flicks.
Biraghi can go get fucked and then get fucked some more. His mediocrity wouldn't even be that appaling if he didn't have a cunt personality to match.

More defensive brain farts.
I will finish with saying that referee was a good bit lenient towards Napoli but we also had a couple of obvious dives (Lautaro, D'ambrosio), that I can't really say that was the main culprit for our terrible result. We should not have to cling to gifted FKs and penalties in hope for a good result, we are not Lazio.

There is the second leg to look forward to, that's all that matters. Conte better think long and hard as to how he is going to spend the next three days and who is he going to deploy on weekend.

What's that term they used to describe Milan's capitulation in the 2nd half last week? Adrenaline dump? This entire game was a slow, 90 minute long adrenaline dump.

Probably we need to score more than one goal because I doubt we're gonna keep a clean sheet in Naples. They had a clinic in our penalty area last time we played there and it was a miracle we conceded only one goal.

Wow, gattuso has Napoli playing like a provincial side, that club is fucked.

Don't understand all the Sensi hate, he was more involved than barella and didn't make as many mistakes as him either

But what is the portion being lucky in our wins compared to the portion of being good?

Abysmal performance! Indeed, maybe the worst from this year! Probably the Milan's game was mentally challenging and some players didn't show up: my boy Barella, Lukaku were pretty shit. Sensi is not the same player from the beginning.
It's not the end of the world, but we need to be better against Lazio! Much better!

My God, Conte switched to 4-3-3 for the last quarter, I couldn't believe my eyes!

What was D'Ambro on, he was on fire?
