Benevento were far better as a Quidditch team, the Weasley twins was the GOAT defense.

Dzeko does not even have to move, the defenders create the holes themselves by running all over the place Laughing

2-0, an own goal. Dzeko hit the post and could have scored another one.

This game could just as easily been 4-0 by now. Benevento will finish dead last. I don't understand how there can be so much difference between them and SPAL for example.

Well it did finish 4-0 and God damn, it's gonna be one tough ass season for the Benevento fans. Hope they have a good sense of humour.

Higuain
Mandzukic-Dybala-Cuadardo
Matuidi-Bentancur
Asamoah-Rugani-Barzagli-Sturaro
Szczesny

Is how we will line up against Fiorentina, heavy rotation from Sassuolo except for the front four hmm

lmaooooo nearly true. EPL instead of Arsenal would work better

I watch Serie A more than any other league. But can't give up Arsenal tho.

Just because it happened against Inter...
Probably it disturbs the fact that Inter finally get the penalties thanks to Var while before we finished with 1-2 penalties every league...

Penalty kicks from 2012/13 to 2016/17:
Juventus 36
Napoli 43
Milan 46
Fiorentina 45
Roma 38
Lazio 47
Inter 21

-20 than the rest lol

It's a fact. Not surprised you don't like Var because even Inter can getting penalty kicks tbh

Benevento plays the Serie A accidentally. Frosinone bottled it twice last year.
I'ts normal their inadequacy if they were not particulary great even in B.

by rincon Wed Sep 20, 2017 8:10 pm

Bentancur just soothes my soul after watching Lemina for so long. The kid is excellent, much better then I hoped for.

by Luca Wed Sep 20, 2017 8:19 pm

Were a bit boring today, feeling the absence of Pjanic.

On top of that, it's like if Dybala doesn't come up with something special then we don't look like scoring.

by RealGunner Wed Sep 20, 2017 8:20 pm

Juve better win

by rincon Wed Sep 20, 2017 8:21 pm

Its not as easy to break Fiore as Sassuolo. Their mid and defense are pressing well. We are doing well so far.

by Hapless_Hans Wed Sep 20, 2017 8:27 pm

Very boring game

Maybe not but it's a super uninventive line up. Asamoah on one side behind Mandzukic not offering much. Cuadrado and Sturaro somehow offering even less.

Higuain on an island.

by rincon Wed Sep 20, 2017 8:34 pm

Its the Fiore game. You know how it goes. Still we did well, didn't allow them anything.

If they continue like this we should win this game.

by Warrior Wed Sep 20, 2017 8:34 pm

my eyes are heavy...

we are in control but we don't provide the slightest bit of entertainment

by RealGunner Wed Sep 20, 2017 8:39 pm

Anyone seeing the Lazio-Napoli game?

It's true. I don't mean to criticize but I'd like to see more. A goal would open things up. Defensively we've been quite good, just one Rugani giveaway which led to Barzagli's yellow and a direct free kick in a dangerous area which could've been bad.

by rincon Wed Sep 20, 2017 8:46 pm

Its fate that Bernardeschi comes on and unlocks this

by Luca Wed Sep 20, 2017 8:54 pm

MANDZUKIC

by rincon Wed Sep 20, 2017 8:55 pm

Mandzukic!!!! cheers

What a cross by Cuadrado

by Luca Wed Sep 20, 2017 9:03 pm

It only took Matri two penalties to score today.

Lazio went from up 1-0 to down 2-1 to Napoli in two minutes

by RealGunner Wed Sep 20, 2017 9:05 pm

yesss napoli ffs

by Luca Wed Sep 20, 2017 9:06 pm

3-1. Great goal Mertens

We're getting VAR'd a penalty away, going to be a free kick out of the box

by Hapless_Hans Wed Sep 20, 2017 9:07 pm

THAT IS OUTSIDE FFS

Why do you have VAR if it doesn't correct shit like this?
