Italian Serie A 2022/2023

pls elaborate on who's got a better defense than us on paper?

Defence is so much more than just the names of the defenders in the sheet. Come on, it's the playstyle, how the midfield supports the defence and even how the forwards play. What are the risk levels players are allowed to play in different parts of the pitch. We leaked goals specially in the early part of the season because we made risky plays all over the pitch.

And don't come to me saying De Vrij is some top class CB when half the forum has been bashing him for an year how poor he is.

You ask what's the point in keeping clean sheet against Napoli (and win) and then let Monza score two? Well we got 4p from these two rounds. Napoli got 3p. If it was us drawing (let alone) losing to Napoli and winning Monza, it would have been 3-4p to us, 4-6p to Napoli.

De Vrij is top class CB, better than Acerbi IMO

Napoli on another level right now, playing nice attacking football unlike us

Still think we should play 3412 or a back four with 4312

Important distinction
De Vrij used to be a better defender, now he looks washed up

Gazzetta is saying Maignan could be out atleast 40 days, maybe even more.

This is why we have a chance next week too in the Supercup.

Not sure that Maignan's return would solve their issues. He would bring some confidence back in their team but their core players were rather disappointing lately, and they aren't getting the same amount of luck and penalties this season. It pisses me off that we are doing worse than them, despite having a better team.

 

[Jnr]

I would like to see their next match vs Lecce actually. Lecce has been doing well lately, I think if Pioli loses pts this week they will go on panic mode before the Cup final.

he's been injured a lot this season and I don't see a difference

His backup is a good GK from a few times I've watched him, so not a very big loss for them.

They haven't been doing that bad jesus! Seems like a sure fire way to put a ton of pressure on them ahead of lecce.

Either that, or other clubs just have standards

 

[Besnik]

They will have a difficult task taking points off Lecce. Out of their last three home matches, Lecce managed to win two of them, and lose one. They lost to Juve, and won over Atalanta and Lazio. It's going to be a hell of a challenge for Milan though.

That's what I was thinking. Our performances have been worse than their last two. It's not like torino have never beaten us at home recently whereas a mid table b side almost did.

We aint gonna win this league anyway so Forza Napoli! Even a draw works tbh.

 

[Besnik]

Juve can be pis poor but at least they are tough to break. Their attitude in the pitch gives them an edge over these who lack fighting spirit, like Inter for example.

 

[Besnik]

Goooooooooaaaaal

 

[Dave54]

Nice attack. Go Napoli, 1:0

 

[brehme1989]

i fear that VAR will revoke it

 

[Besnik]

Well deserved lead for Napoli. This is how a team who wants to win the title should fight.
