Beastllegri said it...for christmas we'll be 3-4 points from top Smile

Thank you Melo you legend,forever a bianconero.

by juvealbanian Sun Dec 20, 2015 9:58 pm

Btw the next matches are Empoli away for Inter and Hellas in home for Juve.

Will be even more interesting...

by Vibe Sun Dec 20, 2015 10:02 pm

Handanovic is amazing on penalties, unbeatable.

I'm pulling this out of my ass, but he saved like 8 of the last 10. Where's Rwo when you need her?

Melo is amazing, I love his spirit. He's 3 points ahead of Juve as well :coffee:

Dat race

Btw, if we consider this to be a 5 horse race, head to head games for the second part of the season would look like this,

Inter : Napoli (H) , Fiorentina (A), Juventus (A), Roma(A)

Napoli : Inter (A), Fiorentina(A), Juventus(A), Roma(A)

Fiorentina : Inter (H), Napoli (H), Juventus(H), Roma(A)

Juventus : Inter (H), Napoli (H), Fiorentina (A), Roma(H)

Roma : Inter (H), Napoli (H), Juventus(A), Fiorentina(A)

So in this regard, big advantage for Juventus heading into the 2nd part of the season.

+3 from 4th place, the CL place is our target, we'll see the next 3 matches ... very though for it.
melo is the usual scumbag, he did this everywhere, even in istanbul , it's the reason why i didn't hype after the first 2 matches, if you were born idiot, you can't die enstein
meh ... it's difficult to describe how much was shit this matchday . won juve, roma , napoli , milan , fiorentina and you lost because of that penalty kick in last minute... totally destroyed

Classic Melo Very Happy

What a scumbag. I'm still hoping Inter gets relegated to the fifth division (while he's there).

by breva Mon Dec 21, 2015 8:38 am

Felipe Melo? Montoya? What was Mancini thinking at half time?

by Vibe Mon Dec 21, 2015 12:01 pm

Down the memory lane...

The 2015/2016 Calcio Saga II - Page 23 Kolina-Toti-i-Ronaldo-1024x670

When you have Ronaldo, Totti and a ref in the pic, and you're not sure who's the biggest legend of the three, only in Serie A Proud

Then the awkward feeling of realizing that Hodgson once commanded a strikeforce of Baggio and Ronaldo Laughing

by Kaladin Mon Dec 21, 2015 11:02 pm

Apparently, there were heated arguments between Jovetic-Mancini & Icardi-Felipe Melo in the locker room

Dybala is 22 hmm

by Robespierre Wed Dec 23, 2015 8:53 pm

Convinced he was born in 1994 hmm

Ok , so Diawara.

by Kaladin Wed Dec 23, 2015 8:55 pm

Donnarumma ffs

by Casciavit Wed Dec 23, 2015 8:56 pm

Handanovic
Vrsaljko Barzagli Miranda Romagnoli Alonso
Marchisio Allan Bonaventura
Higuain Bacca

Best GK: Handanovic
Best Defender: Barzagli
Best Midfielder: Bonaventura
Best forward: Higuain
Best Young Player (U21): Donnarumma

Best transfer: Bacca

by S Wed Dec 23, 2015 9:06 pm

I can see Donnarumma becoming irrelevant like Scuffet in a yr or two(who was apparently next big thing as well)

Hard to rate GKs so early into their career though.Really difficult to gauge if they have that 'it' material in them so we have to wait for them to hit their 20s before we can properly judge them.

by Kaladin Wed Dec 23, 2015 9:14 pm

Pls, scuffet was a 3 match wonder, Donnarumma's is only 16 and is making saves like prime Buffon.

Has bigger potential than DDG and Courtois IMO

by Vibe Wed Dec 23, 2015 9:18 pm

Best GK: Handanovic
Best Defender: Miranda
Best Midfielder: Vazquez
Best forward: Higuain
Best Young Player (U21): Dybala
Best manager: Paulo Sousa
Best transfer: Murillo
Worst transfer: Kondogbia
Best player: Higuain
Worst player: Hernanes

Handanovic
Vrsaljko - Miranda - Murillo - Alonso
Vazquez - Biglia - Pjanic - Insigne
Dybala - Higuain

Haven't really seen Vrsaljko much but everyone seems in agreement about him and there haven't been many notable RB performances so far. Vazquez is more of a SS these days but can pass for an AM still IMO.

by Robespierre Wed Dec 23, 2015 9:26 pm

Just against Atalanta tbh.
then conceded 2 goal on his pole against sassuolo and lazio.
it's soon to hype him in this way , although it not irrelevant to be the Milan GK when you're just 16 years.. infact he was rated already in Primavera by observers

by Robespierre Wed Dec 23, 2015 9:28 pm

Vrsaljko is one of few Serie A fullbacks who can cross the ball , that's enough

by S Wed Dec 23, 2015 9:32 pm

If you want more attacking version then Bruno Peres is better.

But anyway even though I haven't observed him very closely it seems Vrsaljko is rated by experts as well.

Welcome to Juve next yr in any case.
