RIP Leccester, was fun while it lasted
24 goals scored in 9 matches tho
Scenes when Juve win the scudetto with set pieces, deflections and chaotic goals
Man top 3 all within 2 points distance
This season’s first quarter has been amazing. Serie A is such an entertaining league.
This is gonna be a 4 horse-race. But I dont know how much longer Allegri terrorist football can bring results
I think ultimately it’s yours to lose unless Limone somehow conjures up a way to bottle it, Milan will keep losing points to the usual suspects, Juve can’t really keep getting away with it and Garcia is a huge burden worsened by ADL’s campaign to undermine his authority

Thoughts, my friend?
Winning yesterday wasn’t a given but the win was largely based on Kean bullying Thiaw non-stop into the red card. I was seriously impressed by Kean.
One can think this and at the same time legitimately hope that the Allegri encore ends at the end of the season. The results cannot hide the need for something different. We saw this with the 8 win streak with no goals conceded last year, then we took 5 in Naples. That said, I think the results are easier to grind out for Allegri for many reasons though, so that’s why I said Juventus would win the Scudetto a couple months ago.
No way Napoli keep up with Garcia
Trust them more than Juventus. Juventus is not good I have no idea how they are where they’re at.
Lol they play ugly and this is the least amount of talent they had in years but you cant deny allegri brings results as if last year wasn’t enough to show that
it’s all about scoring more than your oppoenent and not letting your oppenent score more than you
As long as he can keep playing the same 11 every single week.
It helps that Juve has no European football.
We had a different line up against you. He never plays the same 11
Juve creeping up
Let Garcia cook
Certified Fiorentina moment
Jololololo, Groningen FC
Considering how they started it, Roma are actually doing alright. A goalscorer like Lukaku did contribute a lot.
Roma have only played one team in the current top 10 though (a loss against Milan), they’ve got a brutal run coming up later

It’s funny given how much Mourinho has talked about not liking stats, but the xG showed Roma was a good team even when they started bad—they were just REALLY unlucky in the first few games
they were just REALLY unlucky in the first few games
If the ball hits the post instead of finding the net, if a cross is just an inch too high, if the keeper got his fingertips to the ball but couldn’t prevent conceding, that’s all got to do with skill issue.
Honestly, the only thing that’s unlucky in football are deflections imo

The sample size is WAY too small to determine that it’s “skill” rather than luck
There’s a reason why those kinds of huge xG vs G disparities usually regress to the mean over the long-term
Haven’t Roma been the perennial xG under performers from all of Mourinho’s 3 seasons? IIRC, they are amongst the top underperformers. Even with Lukaku in for Tammy, this issue seems to be a pattern with the team.

They were in their first 2 seasons. Last season it was largely Tammy, Pellegrini, Belotti, and Zaniolo underperforming by a huge margin. The season before it was largely Tammy, Zaniolo, and Mancini
This season they’re actually over-performing on offense (19G + 1 own goal scored on 14.1 xg; getting rid of Tammy and Zaniolo and having Lukaku + Dybala being fit so far has been a big upgrade there).
They just had a few unlucky games early before that corrected recently + they’re underperforming massively on defense—a large part of that is Rui Patricio having a historically bad season TBH
Damn, kinda sad to see where Udinese are.
What’s more accountable for their relegation spot: the absence of Beto or Becão?
Probably Beto since they didn’t properly replace him
Definitely the lack of attacking choices. Their former duo was Deulofeu Beto but the first got an injury to his knee and he’s struggling with his recovery while the latter wasn’t properly replaced. So they’re now playing with Thauvin (who’s not even the shade of the player he was at Marseille before the injury) and Lucca who failed at Ajax and he needs a long way to reach a decent Serie A level
they’ve been unwatchable since Deulofeu’s injury, to put it into perspective they won more matches in the first 10 than in the other 28, Beto wasn’t particularly good without him nor was Becao, Udogie and just about every other player that has since left. The Pozzos don’t give a shit either as long as there’s 3 worse teams in the league hence the lack of replacements
Glad for Motta doing well. Can’t wait to watch him coach us in the future. I think he’s bound for that
Wonder how much Garcia is gonna continue to destroy this team
I would’ve thought Napoli would be worse this year huh…
Nice of Fiorentina to maybe single handily save Empoli from relegation.
Forget that. For however much I have been hearing about Juve, I didn’t expect you to be 2 points from the top and now I’m confused. I’d have expected you to be somewhere around Roma. Greatly exaggerated commentary or is the table deceiving?
I don’t care who wins the title as long as it’s not Juve
😭😭😭
Good redditor
If Thiago Motta can get Bologna into those European spots, man oh man!
Thiago Motta and Italiano are two of my favorite upcoming managers in Serie A, I would love to see one of them at Juventus next season.
