10 years of FIFAllegri is being a whiny bitch here. He reacts as if Napoli didn't give Juve free gifts:
Their only goal, Manolas literally assisted for Morata. At 1:29, Koulibaly miskicked and Insigne dished Kulusevski a one-on-one. At 2:08, Di Lorenzo passed to Kulu again giving McKennie the chance to shoot. It's their fault not to capitalize it.
Looking further, Juve have themself to blame, to sell the only clinical finisher (and best player) with no proper replacement. It's HIS (Allegri) fault to blind-trust Chesny and couldn't create shit for the rest of match.

Most Passionate MemberHe applauded the ref, told him well done and ref thought he was being sarcastic and disingenuous. Brilliant moment.Red card for him yesterday, didn't even notice, happened at the end of the game. Mourinho also got a red

10 years of FIFWe all know what will happen to Spalletti team in second leg of season. If we don't want RuBe to win Scudetto, depends on us.

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberNapoli kinda pissed at media reports that Spalletti may be sacked. They say that the manager has a contract until 2024 and they need not to confirm what is already confirmed.

Best Overall PosterI can't say i am following Napoli closely but i hadn't realised Spalletti's job is at risk. I think he has done a decent job so far. What were they expecting? Scudetto?

Most Diverse PosterHahaha he has Hleb! And Wes Brown haha, that's awesome
I hope he wears the Maccarone jersey when he eats pasta
But if I had to admit jealousy for some of these - it's Juninho, Recoba, Maldini

I have always rated him since his first spell at Roma.
I watched a few Napoli games, cause the record got me very curious, and IMHO there are a few areas they are doing exceptionally well, which are their high pressing in a whatever-5-1 stand then convert into man to man from there, and once they got the ball, they are so quick and lethal with 6 attacking players already in the final third. The other outstanding thing about them is once they are able to bring the ball into the final third (not from counterattack or pressing), their ability in tearing defense is exceptional.
The two things above required a lot of paces and running distances, which their team is very young, and it fits very well with the game plan too.
Their defense is not bad either.
They have a quite obvious weakness I would say is it seems difficult for them to play from the back or transition from defense to attack in their own half, also tempo dictating and control, they don't exactly have a target man for long direct ball either.
In theory, to play against them is just kick the ball to their half, and then stall them in the midfield and press them, but that would be the most bizarre football.
Obviously, there are tweaks to play against their 5 men screen converting to 6 men pressing, like set up a passing point without the 1 up front between them, but overall, what they are doing are really impressive.
