It's not that bad as you guys are presenting. Yes we are behind but it's not like there is still 24 points to play for (27 for some), don't fall into desperation. Yes we played like shit today but it is wide open still, season is far from over.

We are 7pts behind with a H2H, it will be 10pts next weekend by the time we step on the pitch in Turin and it will come down to needing a win in a stadium we havent won in ages. Even if we draw next weekend, the damage is done. We were absolutely lethal in autumn, playing beautiful football, tons of chances every match, stats were sky high in our favor, but we crumbled, we collapsed as a team , these players we hoped there's still some fire from Conte, but that small flame has been killed by now. In a crucial period that is February-March , a time for a full throttle to put some distance between the chasing pack, we have capitulated, our head coach has shown his usual vulnerabilty and inability to motivate the team, to change tactics, anything to change this around and at the same time we've seen Milan stepping up, they won the derby, the won in Napoli, they have won plenty of big games this season and they have shown the desire to get that scudetto with 3 straight 1-0's where the opposition have been brutally starved of chances to score. This is a moment to get points at ALL COSTS and they are stepping up. We came as crystal clear scudetto favorites in December to checking what's the Atalanta-Roma-Lazio fixtures are alike in April, hoping they won't catch up.

And you're telling me its not that bad as it looks like.

Not that bad? What would we describe a situation where we should be 10 ahead being flipped around to being 7 behind. I am struggling for the words to describe this epic choke.

I understand people are trying to be optimistic but let's be honest. Scudetto is done for us. Not mathematically but based on what we see on the pitch.

We have 1 win in the last 7 Serie A games, 7 points in the last 7 Serie A games and 14 points in the last 10 Serie A games since the start of the new year. And worst of all is coach doesn't seem willing to make any adjustments. He just keeps trying the same things again and again with a terrible result.

We can't just press a button and return to pre January form. There's no confidence in this team making a winning run for the remainder of the season.

We should have gone in ritiro after Sassuolo and Genoa inexcusable horror shows, but obv our coach is YES man, smiling around letting players grill the meat Argentina style in times of crisis.

Osihmen is Napoli's Lukaku, only scores past minor teams.

I'd love to have someone who can score against minor teams. :lol:



I didn't expect to win the title at the beginning of the season: We lost Lukaku and Hakimi, Barella looked dead at the EURO, new coach etc. Then we had an amazing run, so I had some hope. Did't expect to collapse like we did/do ...

But IF we can finish 3rd and maybe win the Coppa, I wouldn't call that season a failure: CL qualification, round of last 16 in the CL, beat Juve for the Supercoppa ...

But it's obvious we need some fresh blood in the summer - and no more has-beens.

We are in tier 3 next season in CL am I right? Or does it depend on who else wins the league?

Ever since Serie A football came back after the first Covid lockdown Milan have won 175 points compared to our 171 points (with a game in hand). Illustrates well enough how fucking consistent they’ve been in the last 2,5 years. Even more impressive considering how many injuries they’ve had since then. I know you will hate to hear this but they’re gonna be superior to us for years to come, and it would take a fucking miracle for them to lose the scudetto this season

fact is they are only first because of our clown team. This year no one really is a scudetto team, in a normal year they would not even by talking about scudetto. But sadly this league has no favorite this year, everyone is doing really bad. And Milan is also not playing that good, i don't think they will end the league with more then 80 points.

They are first because they have players who can give that extra spark like Theo and Leao. Add the development of a technical player like Tonali in the mix and you have cherry blossoms in your garden.

Milan is two players and a coach away from competing in Europe imho.

Leao has more talent in his toe than our entire offensive department combined.

Interesting stat. Really didn't need to know this, especially since it's too early to start drinking ;).

Juve were -12 at some point and now -1. Ffs.
Sad but true. Imagine if we have only beaten Torino and Fiore,we would now be +5 with a game in hand. This is choking of epic proportions. Limone outdoned himself. Clown.
