Are you not 3rd in form? Napoli is not guaranteed to beat you

We have an unfavourable record against Napoli (home and away), our coach's  record against Napoli does not consist of a single win, our best CB might miss the game and we're still an inferior team overall compared to Napoli, i'd say the odds are favouring Napoli. Like you said, 3rd team in form.

Life is so bleak as a Milan fan

We never have a chance of beating any team in the world. Should just dissolve the club tbh.

Humility at its best

You must also consider the pressure ( incredible on Napoli after Juve tie .. Napoli already bottled similar moments in past. Now we'll realize if they're really matured ) and the fatigue after EL matches.. the EL matches usually are a trap. Besisdes they face an opponent, the Milan, really in good health. They got an important streak of victories and they didn't win against Udinese just for that post-line  by Bertolacci.
Great exam for Napoli.

Yes I believed Bologna was one of few teams capable to stop the Juve's streak.
They're very tough under Donadoni and the match came in an ideal moment for BFC , because the match before of CL aren't easy to be played with the best spirit by team to play the CL.
Indeed they had a talented team already in beginning of the year. but Delio Rossi was a disgrace, totally finished.

Diawara is great, I voted him as the best young indeed.

And I think Giaccherini deserves more than provincia .

He would be a starter in any of Roma, Inter and Milan IMO.

Great exam for Napoli.

Well said Robes , we will obviously going to be a tough opponent for Napoli . Yet , ultimately i agree with ES , chances are good we may lose against Napoli on Monday. I know a win in there would fire us up for good in our fight toward the third place , however i can't help it but stay pragmatic about our chances . I don't think any less for Milan , no jinx , no pessimism involved. Just being realistic about it .

Juventus dropped points against Bologna , and it's been a while they did this , this alone is a huge motive for Sarri's team . Napoli are still unbeaten at home in the league . Napoli are also in good form , despite losing against Juventus and Villareal , they weren't bad by any stretch . There's also something of critical importance for Milan , Romagnoli may or may not play.

If he doesn't , we just won't get away with it , it's that simple . We are doing pretty well for 2 months now and i am really happy about it , yet our depth isn't the most reliable , at least when it comes to the big games i surely have doubts . We miss someone important , it will show on the pitch . Damn it the only reason we didn't win against Udinese is because Bonaventura missed the game , imo at least . If Alessio does play , our chances will definitely be much better , however we still have to face the stronger side , going by , well everything so far .

We're going to be a challenge for Napoli and them for us , and i want us to take them on with a vengeance after what happened in the first match between us earlier in the season , but truth be told , if we end up losing the game it won't exactly come as a surprise . If we play the best we can , it will be pretty hard for them , aside from that i really can't put my hand in the fire and call this one in our favor .

We need Kucka and Romagnoli to be ready for the game, I don't believe Bertolacci is a good partner with Montolivo, especially for this game.

Sampdoria--->Serie B

https://streamable.com/v7rf

About time this guy started steping up, even though the game was already 0-2

If we made a pragmatic matter (but I appreciate who chooses HIS NT and not who acts like Diego Costa,Eder etc ) , for Icardi was much better to choose the Italy than Argentina.
He'd be easily a starter with Nazionale ( Pellè ffs  ) while in Argentina there is no space for him , not just for the great competition , but also because Tata Martino despises him for the love story with Wanda ( lol, when  tbh it's the best situation for the footballer. A young player already  married with a family and a son born after it  means , for example, eluding the movida and Milano is a danger in this..)


About Sampdoria, they risk to relegate seriously.
Scrub team but presumptuous , the ideal mix to relegate.
They haven't the same humiity than Frosinone and Carpi.
Next match is Sampdoria-Frosinone..

Martino said he didn't like what he did, but that it holds no influence in whether he gets called up or not. Anyways it's clear that Icardi will be the 9 after Higuain, no one else can lead the line or  has the profile of a "tall" forward. He will get called up if simply because he offers something different to Messi/Aguero/Tevez/Dybala/Vietto/Correa who all kind of fit the same profile.

Dzeko scored , but just 2 minutes before he made the worst miss ever

Such a fake win for Roma, can't wait to batter them on the last matchday of the season

Salah's finish was nice but that chest control nearly went out for a goalkick lmao

Palermo are just bad so that dents the win a little bit, but it was good to see us put a team down like that nonetheless.

Biggest moment of the match? Strootman coming on

Heard he got injured walking back to the training room....

Are there more despicable fans than Napoli? Racist chants, noise nuisance in the hotel where the team is trying to sleep, the team was actually forced to call the police but even the police hasn't intervened!

Such a diminutive mentality, i guess thats what comes from living in a shit hole like theirs

There is a reason why they're the people most despised in Italy

Yes because Italians discriminare against the southerners

Zapata vs Higuain.

RIP

Great start by Napoli

Serie A needs of play out IMO
Imo Serie A should do
19th and 20th directly relegated
play out : 15th-18th
16th-17th

Some small clubs are devaluing the 2nd half of season because in January have sold their best players, identifying the three sure relegated teams.
It is not the first time to happen this.

So Atalanta sold Moralez and Denis, Chievo sold Paloschi, Sampdoria sold Eder and Zukanovic etc

Many clubs can permitt to walk for almost the Whole year because it's impossible to relegate

Udinese and Palermo are playing crap from beginning of the year

And worse teams like Chievo,or Empoli etc that will present points when they'll reach or they'll be close to amount 40 points.

If you insert the play out , you'll get the right tension until the end, because even the 15th can risk to relegate, so you'll increase the number of serious matches, you won't get teams to weaken in January because they are going to reach the target so it's moment to sell the players etc

I'm sure it will never be done because the relegation represents an economic collapse and noone wants to risk to get relegated because of a play out ...it's easier to accept this if you get 18th-20th place.
The clubs prefer the flatness and the stability more than the show and a league more regular.
But as fan , I think differently.
And I believe Serie A must put them.

Not even the southerners love the Neapolitans

It's the reason why Maradona convinced half of Neapolitans to support Argentina in Italy-Argentina semifinal Italy 90 played exactly in Naples (awful choice tbf )

That was close from Higuain
