I don't think Napoli's midfield is that mediocre, I think it just lacks balance. Behrami is good enough as a DM if you're playing with 5 defenders, but not when Napoli are playing with 3/4 players who don't track back, plus Armero who is mostly useless. Inler is good enough, but nothing more. Dzemaili is nothing more than a good squad player. I do feel that they're missing Zuniga badly.

It looks like Napoli are not qualifying. They have a hard game against Arsenal, but good thing it is at home. Borussia have a very easy game against Marsielle which they most probably going to win.

Napoli need to win against Arsenal with a very big score. Something like 5 or 6-0.

That means they are going to concentrate on the league and make our job harder.

Fuck Barca. After that "penalty" and seeing how Pedro wants a card I have two more reasons to hate this fuckers.

Fucking Napoli, fucking up their CL completely. They make it very hard for themselves now. Useless defending from the whole team in that match.

We will have a hard time getting that CL spot this season now when Napoli crashes out of that competition.

Which they won't take seriously because playing on Thursdays jeopardizes a team's chances in the league

Don't be so sure. I think Benitez will give it an honest try...seriously.

De Laurantiis might have other ideas. He started complaining about it in the media last season and then all of a sudden they get beaten by some random Ukrainian team at home

Iirc it was Viktoria Pizen from Czech Republic that defeated them, not Dnipro

They were beaten away in Ukraine, not at the San Paulo.

It doesn't matter how many goals Napoli score against Arsenal, if Dortmund win their game by any margin against Marseille, Napoli are done. CL group stage is head-to-head, not GD.

Huh? If Napoli wins at home 3-0 they will qualify instead of Arsenal, wouldn't they?

Yeah, but Dortmund is playing away at Marseille. Don't count Marseille out yet, they surely can salvage a point from BvB. People just assume straight 3 points from them. They have picked up form lately.

Napoli can definitely win at home against Arsenal, but 3-0 is a huge stretch. At home they're 2-3 times stronger than away. They are simply awful away, but today still managed to have like 56% possession in Dortmund. BvB played a bit better, but had it been any other day, results could have gone different.

I still don't see it happenning though. I think Napoli is going to win against Arsenal maybe by a goal, 2-1, but I think Dortmund will beat Marseille.

Yeah, Dortmund have a superior head to head with Arsenal (2-1 away, and 0-1 at home, therefore their advantage? Or do away goals not count in this scenario?) , and Napoli would too if they won 3-0. If it's 2-0 it goes down to goal difference I think

I was a little fuzzy about the details. My point was that DeLa started to complain and then they lose to a side that they should beat 9 times out of 10 at home.

You guys are right, I was only thinking of the h2h with Dortmund. A 3-0 win for Napoli would do. A 2-0 win would put it down to GD, which Arsenal still have an advantage on.

Away goals do count.
