I think I would want current Milan or Juve in SuperCup SF than this Atalanta!

Luckily the game is in 2 months and lets just hope we will be in top shape with nobody missing.

An almost one-sided game. A well deserved win for Atalanta.

Just a random thought, Daniel Maldini would fit in well with this Atalanta team, positional wise, tall, can dribble, plus an Italian, he fits the Atalanta criteria perfectly.

Don't have one.
Pure powerlessness from napoli, especially in second half and obvious lack of quality, something few of us here wrote about few weeks back when some people were already giving them a title trophy. Imo they can only win it if usual suspects have a nightmare of a season, and even then I would consider it a big surprise.

All the hand-wringing and shit and if we win our next two games we'll be top of the table going into the break.

Just typical FIF. Always impatient to declare Scudetto winner. Unless it's Inter leading of course 😀 In that case, it isn't over till it's mathematically over 😅

It was totally a one sided game, man. The only real chance they really had was the buongorno's header and that Lukaku's first half chance when the ball was deflected by Atalanta's player.

To be honest, it still might. But way too early to tell. I won't celebrate or freak out just yet. But ngl I did enjoy seeing Lukaku exposed for the fraud he is. Dude was completely shut down.

Im scared shitless to see Inter overpay another Atalanta product, but swedish Hien is looking great there. Had Lukaku on silent mode all afternoon.

We did fine with the last defensive buy from Atalanta, tbf.
gosens?

I dont really believe in conspiracy theories, but you do have to admit that Atalanta have a history of selling players that flop. Look at Gagliardini, Conti, Caldara, even Hojlund isnt exactly banging it atm? I guess Romero and Kulusevksi are fine

Kulu is fine but Romero is not

The thing is, that is exactly what is going on at the moment. The usual suspects are not exactly performing. We are on the road of a 80p season, that reality has open the door wide open for a whole bunch of teams, that on paper should not be in the race such as Napoli, Lazio, Atalanta and even Fiorentina are still in the race because neither we, Juve or Milan are performing at a level the first 10-11 games of the season. The scudetto is incredible cheap for sale so a chance for a smaller team have not been greater for many years

What the season taught us so far is that this will be a far tougher competition than it has been the Season before.
I‘d count Napoli, Atalanta, Milan, and Juventus as prime competitors, but we also have to watch out for Fiorentina, Bologna, and Lazio snatching points left and right.

One thing is sure - noone can predict the winner until Matchday 24-25 where typically there is a visible trend on how the Race will develop.

I see Juventus fading out first with Milan following them, because they have to reinvent themselves too often. Atalanta and Napoli have threatening potential as things stand. Napoli because of the sole competition, Atalanta because they have a good squad rotation when being fully fit.

As per usual we have to survive MD 18-27 at the first Place, and then we can talk about Scudetto.

Romero is one of the top defenders in PL and Tottenham's best. Why would you say he is not fine ?

I am not following EPL closely by any means but that was also my impression about Romero. Top cb albeit hot headed.

I think he meant Bastoni. But he barely played under Gasperini so not sure he counts.
