Gobbi takes the lead. Another 1-1 incoming?
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.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.
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
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 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.If we win Scudetto having to play at least 13 games more than Napoli it's really an achievement.

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

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.
oh I was waiting for this conversationI 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.
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.oh I was waiting for this conversationIMO, 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 attitude.
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 secondaryInzaghi 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.
