Re: The 2017/18 Calcio Thread: Part 2

Howedes has played a good game so far

Looks solid as a rock and has delivered some decent crosses too going forward

But the left side has been awful tho, Matuidi in particular.

Howedes is a world champion who plays for a top tier NT.

Who is Bailly ?

[Firenze]

Bailly is a european cup winner and has African cup of nations 'eritage. Howedes is a 40 year old whose claim to fame is winning the german cup. Bailly's already eclipsed his career at 24. ffs Don't care about him being carried to a WC.

[Robespierre]

Is just the first match played by Howedes this year, isn't it ?

[RealGunner]

We have a 3 points lead. All other leagues have been decided for months.

Serie A 17/18 was decided 4-5 years ago. Same with the next one.

[rincon]

Matuidi was awful. Him supported by Asamoah + Mandzukic in the center is just too much. Costa makes it much better. Hope Pjanic isnt too hurt. We need Marchisio or Bentancur on for Matuidi.

[Firenze]

I thought Gattuso was supposed to be doing really well, I expected Milan to be closer to CL qualification considering the teams around them flopping, yet it's entirely possible they won't even get EL? lol.

Seems like Matuidi is just a name at this point, see ppl complaining about him very often this season.

Really need to sell us Dybala so you can reinforce that CM lad.

Serie A is finished after Napoli Roma 2-4
Napoli are done, been very bad in last 2 months. They were going to lose even against Chievo in last matchday.
tbh never believed we 'd have got a title battle till to end. Juve is going to win with matchdays of advance as usual . Good for Buffon that can prepare himself to WC and finally getting an international revenge

[rincon]

The teams around him aren't flopping though. Only Roma a bit.

Inter aren't flopping?

No. This is Inter's level, they are not a team that can expect to win every match. They are a team that fight for CL qualification, as they are doing.

[rincon]

Lazio is even overachieving. Roma are the ones that should be doing better. Either way, Gattuso needed a miracle for CL. It was never gonna happen.

Yea it would be great for you if Inter could get their revenge as well against Qarabag after being booted by them 2 seasons ago. Thursday nights gonna be amazing again. No FFP problem as well Good times

Napoli is flopping
1-1 with Sassuolo, should’ve crushed them. In the end it took a heartlesss own goal from Rogério for them to get a point.
Down 1-0 to Chievo in the 89th minute to win 2-1
0-0 against a Milan team without Bonucci and Romagnoli

HOWEDES, HOW BOUT DAT

What a player Douglas is

Dybala is a corpse today

[S]

HOWEDESSS

2-0

[Robespierre]

Frankly we aren't
I mean , so close from Roma looks like great result.
But we are incredibly bottlers.
You've written rightly it looks like the league of bottlers.
Well, we  were he greatest bottlers of  the league  this year.
I lose count about how many points we bottled it .... matches tied on last minutes, very easy chances missed
Milan- Torino-Atalanta was the decisive triptych , we made just 2 points, and you should watch what it happened.
Icardi even missed 2 ( 2 ,it's even strange if you see it one ) goals into the empty net and one was on 93' .

Our recap because we are not going in UCL even this year :

Weltmeister Howedes being compared to random African bouncers

Dont know what's wrong with people these days ffs

[rincon]

GOAT crosses from Costa. Samp's defenders had a shocker there. Left the whole far post open.

Napoli are flop because they are going to win nothing even if they had to do it.

Terrible decision to   snub Europe League that they could really winning .. looking at the level

CL place was sure, Scudetto you never know, so there wasn't really reason to do it.

[rincon]

Inter need more if they are gonna expect to join Napoli and Juve ahead of the pack. Icardi can't be the only scorer. Right in the dog fight against Roma and Lazio is about the level of the team.

[Firenze]

Mostly I'm just sad we'll get another season without Milan teams in CL. It doesn't right after seeing it for most of my life. Need one of them back already. I don't care for Napoli, they never do anything in Europe. Always a waste of a spot. What happens if Roma win the CL (lol), I always forget, does 5th in Serie A get the spot?

[Robespierre]

Agreed. Our attack is very bad.
We are still alive even if we had won only 2 away matches  in 6 months ( that's true. UNREAL stats. Cagliari and Sampdoria )  just because we were carried by our defence that was great this year.
Not just Skriniar but also Miranda played his best year since he is in Serie A.

[rincon]

@Firenze
Inter are in CL atm. They are all level on points and the Roman derby is tonight.
