The 2016/2017 Calcio Saga

Inter should have scored at least 4 goals. Sassuolo GK was fantastic. But Inter were bad with their finishing too

@RealGunner you watch Inter a good amount, whats your take on Brozovic? I'm a big fan, guy has excellent passing and vision but gets very little hype. Wanted him at Juve this summer. Feels like he would fit at Arsenal in terms of style.

--------------

Napoli-Torino in half an hour. Should be really fun. Lineups:

(Napoli) Reina; Hysaj, Chiriches, Albiol, Ghoulam; Zielinski, Jorginho, Hamsik; Callejon, Mertens, Insigne

(Torino) Hart; De Silvestri, Rossettini, Moretti, Barreca; Baselli, Valdifiori, Benassi; Zappacosta, Belotti, Ljajic

Note Zappacosta over Falque at right wing to defend Insigne and Hamsik more.

Brozovic would have been the perfect Vidal replacement. I think he is Inter's best midfielder. Reason he doesn't get as much hype is due to Joao Mario's pricetag and Banega's reputation. Brozovic always plays well. Rarely has a bad game.

Would have liked to see Kovacic and Brozovic together at Inter.

Brozovic-Banega-Mario should be fine.

Atm 13 points on 18 under Pioli, lost in Napoli ( where we always lose ) and tie against Milan (on 92' ). Good amount of points, but it will be hard against Lazio with no DM (  I can't rate Fraudobia )

Impressive considering that Icardi bothers to show up once every 4 games

Napoli 1-0

good goal, Mertens score, Insigne assist

pentaly to Napoli, didn't look like it.

Mertens 2-0

Napoli with 7 goals in the last 110 minutes of play. Plus, before this game their average at the San Paolo has been 2.63 goals per game

Did Mertens just score 3 goals in 10 minutes?

They look so much beter with Mertens, he fits their playstyle so well.
Gabbiadini, outside of his shot who is one of the best in Serie A, is completely average, no movement off the ball, no link up.

3 goals in 10 minutes

Napoli on form are just beautiful to watch. Inter, Benfica and Torino in a row and they go 10-1!

Meanwhile Samp getting bodied by Chievo Pellissier in 2016?? What is this?

When Napoli plays like this. They are amazing to watch. And Torino are actually a good team too.

Pavoletti and Milik should be there by january and february. If they or at least 1 gets in form then they will be am extremely dangerous team in the CL (they are already are in Serie A ofc). Changing between Mertens and Milik in a game could really turn the tables if needed.

Definitely a team capable of causing upset even to the strongest teams out there. And I expect them to get even stronger when Milik comes back.

I would've preferred another team in the round of 16, but if you want to win the CL you have to beat whoever is in front of you.

If we lose to Napoli then we don't deserve to win the CL in the first place.

They'll definitely give us hell.

Stop crying like a baby, and stop making everything about yourself, Demon.

Demon trying his utmost hard to become the babyface of this forum.  We're not buying it brah. I mean we have Mole Hogan shoved down our throats every week ffs

Mole is more like The Great Khali these days.

Palermo with 6 pts from 16 games

used to be one of my fav teams 4-5 years ago

They had good players. All got nabbed.

Phenomenal counter from Napoli to make it 4-1. Also Belotti is just great, scores the one chance he has.

I went back to read my comment again and still couldn't find anything about "making it about myself" or "crying over anything". I just gave my opinion about Napoli.

Still, I'm sorry you both feel that way and I'll try to word my comments carefully next time to avoid irritating you.

5-2!!! what a *bleep* game!

Mertens with 4 goals, what a goal
