Zaniolo reminds everyone that he's always a ball hog but a draw is perfect and fair as well considering how the match going.

If we win our 2 games in hand

Napoli -2
Atalanta -6
Juve -15

Week 20.

If we can outrun Conte in May. With all our games and open tournaments while Conte is eating his cannoli from monday to friday.

If we win Scudetto having to play at least 13 games more than Napoli it's really an achievement. Don't get me wrong, we did it last year since Juventus didn't have Europe and they were our only competitors when it mattered, but doing it second year in a row would be something special.

I'm a bit worried that Atalanta will be gassed vs Napoli, this game vs Juventus was exhausting for them.

We really need to beat Bologna today.

Our squad depth is better than Napoli's for the teams we play in the league. Just get rid of some deadwood like Arnautovic/Correa and maybe grab another decent cb for cover in case of injuries we'll be fine

Where are the Arnautović rumours now??? It's already mid january. I thought we were making moves this january, I guess the rumours were just rumours

I will never root for Gobbi in any way, I can peacefully say Forza Gasperini knowing they will be content with top3 in the end.

Its Conte vs Inzaghi and we have to take this at all costs. Just too sweet to pass

The only way i would ever root for a gobbi or Bbilan win is if we need them to win on the last matchday to secure a scudetto. And even then i would feel dirty.

Rumour: Man Utd are considering paying €40m for Arbautobitch to replace Zirkzee.

I don’t really feel comfortable with those games in hand. It always feels like a disadvantage somehow. Napoli already HAS those points. We need to earn them.

I feel the exact same way. Especially ever since we choked that game that let that fucking Milan side win the Scudetto.

It's only an advantage right now inasmuch as we're in first place if we win those games. (I know, this story has been written before.) It's not as comforting the opponents for those games in hand. Bologna is always a tricky opponent for us, and we'll see if Fiorentina is back in some kind of form by the time that game is played.

In a perfect world, we'll win today to get within 1, then Napoli has a draw or loss in Bergamo this weekend, giving us the chance to move into first place while we still have that game in hand in Florence. That's what happened last year. We were able to get into first place with the game still in hand, and then that game almost became a "bonus points" game, we could only add to our lead but if worst came to worst we would still exit that game at the top.

For their part, Atalanta has always been such a form team. When they get hot, they rip through the league like a California wildfire. They had a five-game winning streak and a six-game winning streak both in the second half of last season. Their schedule will ease back up shortly - very manageable stretch between MD 22-27 before another tricky stretch follows that - but some of the damage has already been done and if they don't beat Napoli this weekend there might not be an easy way back for them so I expect some urgency from them in that game.

If I’m somebody with a lot of disposable income I’d throw major cash at Napoli to win the league. Lighter schedule, better coach, and I’m sure favorable odds as I’m assuming we’d still be the betting favorite.

I do not believe Conte is a better coach than Inzaghi, especially if we compare what kind of squads Conte had. Inzaghi with prime Lukaku, Hakimi and Skriniar would run with the league.

Inzaghi also achieved much more in Europe while selling some of the best players every summer except the last one. While Conte is a moody bitch that left Inter as soon as he saw we wouldn't be spending enough for his taste.

Yeah, I appreciate Inzaghi more these days. He has won now, so he's a winner too. What Conte lacks is the ability to control the situation when there are more and more games. Inzaghi has managed that a lot better. And this is nothing to take away from Conte's time at Inter. He made some of our current core players winners, Inzaghi has just released the full potential of these guys while managing all kind of shit from the club (limited resources on the team, requirement to compete in each fucking competition).

Imagine if we had money, we would still have Hakimi here and probably a midfield of SMS-Hakan-Barella <3

Oh well. Well at least I'm happy we are still on pace. I see some people forgot that we also played 2-2 against Bologna last season :lol: the meltdown is hilarious

oh I was waiting for this conversation :lol: IMO, Conte is a goat if he manages to win the league (which is possible, as the situation looks not good for us right now). Winning 5 Scudetti with 3 diffrent teams would be insane. + EPL with Chelsea of course.
Sure Inzaghi has no Skriniar, no Hakimi. But Conte in this moment is dominating the league with Juan Jesus, old fuck Lukaku who does not score, Politano, and other mediocre players. There are only 3-4 i consider really good or maybe decent. I would like to see Inzaghi doing the same with such players. Then let's also not forget the season(s) with Juve where he played with Matri and Vucinic infront and still won.

Sure he's making profit of having no CL. But thats one of the problems you have to deal with. With Conte we finished the group as fourth but won the league after that. Inzaghi already throwed away a season thanks to the Champions league when we had to play Liverpool 2 times and had to do a miracle at the stamford bridge (and still lost). And yesterday we saw what happends when we play the bench. It only needs 2-3 players missing and youre already struggling at home against 8.placed Bologna.
This is why i fear we will lose it again in February. Im not saying that we should get out from CL. But you are obbgliated to do something if the managament can't give you decent bench options. Conte is just more clever. CL or Serie A, but both is not possible with our current bench options.
The only problem is his behaviour. We all know how it ended at Juve and Inter, probably at Napoli too in 1-2 years. I would say he's probably the best Serie A coach in history if he wouldn't be such a cunt.

It anyway does not mean that i hate Inzaghi, i still like him. But we can't say that he is not part of the scudetto we gave away to Milan And this year it could be the second time that we give away one if he's not willing to change he's habits.

Inzaghi can't just throw the CL. The club needs money, and how would it look if he plays second team in a knockout phase anyway? He can be sacked for that kind of shit.

Conte didn't throw the CL on purpose, he just sucks there. He's proven it every season with every club he's been in. Like I said elsewhere, if Napoli had CL this year we'd be running away with Scudetto 100%.

Sure, as of right now Conte can be considered better for his past achievements but I'm not sure you can say Conte was better for Inter, or that Inzaghi won't have a better looking career in 10-15 years. He's younger as well, still time ahead of him.

If youre talking about our February schedule: we are not in the knockout stage and still can qualify without playing the starters. If you mean the Liverpool game: We lost at home 2-0, we should have won at least 2-0 to draw at the stamford bridge. We focused so much on that game that Serie A became secondary

Well, that might be true, maybe he was not doing it in purpose. But somehow it feels like he always gave a shit about CL and especially in our case it was the best thing. So im not sure if we would run away with the scudetto like youre saying but probably they had less points now.

Thats true, Inzaghi has already won a lot of trophies. But he won only 1 scudetto for now and again, i feel like he was and could become again the reason, why we don't win the league.
