The 2016-17 Calcio Saga Part III

Samp!!! 1-1

Silvestre or Schick, not sure.

Silvestre


Sampdoria have been very good tbh.

Told you

Even with Muriel injured they are a very good side. Those 4 midfielders are legit. Giampaolo is doing a great job with the team too, he just got renewed.

Think Inter will still get a late goal in

Schick got this.

Viviano tries so hard to look like an extra in the Godfather everytime I see him he looks more like an old school italian mobster.

Can't believe we never even gave him a chance at Arsenal ffs

D'Ambrosio has become legit, really grown into this team. The fullback factory at Torino is unreal. D'Ambrosio, Darmian, Bruno Peres, Zappacosta, Barreca.

Clear handball by Brozovic. Penalty!!!!

goooooooooooooool Quagliarellaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Holy shit

I am so glad I cashed out at 1-0 because it wasn't worth waiting till 90th min ffs.

You had Inter winning?

In the end it was a deserved win for Samp. Hit the post twice too in the first half, great work by everyone really.

Was an acca, Inter were in it. Rest of the teams won so i cashed out at inter 1-0 since rest of the money wasn't that much.

So *bleep* glad

Good call. I didn't have any since I lost in Torino-Udinese

I stayed away because Udinese performed really well the week before. Torino's form is sketchy these days.


Chievo and Milan however Lost so much because of those two. Had to go really big on few random teams to recover.

Wish I picked Atalanta and cagliari instead.

This is the end for Pioli. Not his fault, too many De Boer losses and with nearly every player on Inter's team involved in international play last week, and very few if any on Sampdoria's side, this was a possible loss.

Losing to Sampdoria at home after you had an extra day of rest and a 1-0 lead is an acceptable possible loss? Le wat

Disagree tbh. Napoli dropped points yesterday and Inter winning could have made the gap 6 points. Inter really needed to win this.

First time watching Gagliardini in a full game.

Absolutely DDR's heir. Hopefully, he's less reckless defensively though.

Even De Rossi said so after meeting him in training with the NT last week. He said that if there was one player like him, it was Gagliardini. And we missed out

He is not reckless like De Rossi but also doesn't have the same dynamism that accompanies more reckless players. I watched a lot of Atalanta this season (they are really fun and interesting) and a few Inter games since he joined too.

Inter

at home

Devastating LOSS

derby vs Milan in 2 weeks
after that Fiorentina, Napoli, Lazio

9 points behind Napoli with 8 games left in the season... i mean nothing is impossible but with a tough calendar like this they might be challengers for the EL spots at best.

Will be an exciting last segment of the 2016-2017 season Atalanta (58), Inter (55), Milan (54), Fio (51) are the contenders for the two last european places. The question mark is Lazio who might drop some points since they have many decisive games left to play.

No, it's not unusual historically for club teams that have a lot of national team players to lose to teams that don't have national team players after an international break. Chelsea also lost to a lower placed club after the break too, it isn't just coincidence.

Inter didn't lose because of internationals, they even played on Monday. They lost because Samp is good and brought their A game.
