2018/19 Calcio Saga

Monchi was fighting with Roma fans after the Porto, match. He apologized today. Now EDF is sacked and Monchi should be going in the summer.

The team got dismantled and EDF ran out of ideas. He got handed a crap hand, but I think it is still right to change. No matter who is at fault, the solution is to move forward.

With the same board and their same philosophy?

With any board and any philosophy

They do, but he was also one of those problems. He showed his limits this year and he was going to eventually be let go. After these two losses, a mental crash should be expected for Roma, just like it happened with Juve last year, so something had to change and getting rid of the walking dead man was the obvious choice.

Wait, I need details. When and what happened?

On the way back from the Porto game

So Monchi is a certified fraud ? Last year's good results are imputable to Sabatini.

Fans are savage animals. As always, they should be ignored, not engaged.

Indeed. There is no possible winning outcome when angrily engaging angry fans .

They're not Chelsea, their football decisions are not made by a board of suits, they have a manager. And yes, they should move forward the same way, maybe with a little more conservative philosophy.

Fans & Ultras at most in Calcio reach another level of entitlement that are summed up by their banners, letters of demands and general emotional disposition that is almost hilarious given they do not hold as much importance as they think or what clubs would like us to think.

Not sure what to expect from this game. I hope it will be entertaining.

You hope badly mate imho

Juve never plays good this year , let alone an useless match for them full of backups because next match is the match of the year, Juve-Atletico.
Alex Sandro as winger I mean

Morever Udinese under Nicola play the most negative football in Serie A, park the bus for 90 minutes, it 's always a torture to watch them
I tried to do it because De Paul was linked close to us but I couldn't end their matches because of sad show ( and I am used to watch  Inter every week  that means bad gamestyle )

We'll win. It will be interesting to see these guys play, expect them to try extra hard. I will not be particularly entertaining, Udinese sucks.

Nicola is a provinciale manager to the core in his tactics. From his Bari to his utterly pragmatic Crotone and now Udinese who seem an endless cycle of recycling bidone managers despite their new stadio as although the front trident would excite Juventini I can only see a typical match versus this years Fruilani. Cagey and aimless.

They lack any flair this year.

Stark contrast to Udinese and their people. Just a fantastic city.

Roma fans are more hysterical than anyone in Italy . Even worse than Neapolitans imo.
The Roman world is much deepest ( not by chance we 're talking about the Capital city ) than Naples
Madness begins from sporting Roman radios who have an incredible power of influence in the Capital.
One of most important is managed by " Marione" , former neofascist terrorist .... Just saying...

Yes Udinese are so bad this year.
I will remember this Udinese for weird names within this roster ( Ter Avest ,Troost-Ekong, Teodorczyk, Nuytinck etc) more than talent ( it lacks . And they were used to have it so much in recent years)
Nicola is a solid coach that is getting the best from them , let's be clear, in fact they will get saved even this year.
They made a deal with the devil I think, they can't relegate . I follow football since 97 and I've seen Juventus in Serie B and not Udinese
These are their worst years under Pozzo by far though , and it happens exactly when they've a new and nice stadium. Shame.

At least Chievo is finally relegated, there is hope that Udinese could follow soon.

Chievo being relegated is indeed a joy to see given their far more entertaining counterpart as a club in Hellas are just more interesting but Udinese being relegated with their new stadio, their unique contingent of fans from a distinct city, would just be a shame to see go down, as Robes himself stated.

The way Udinese has been run the last few years is disgusting. Pozzo needs to wake up.

Finally a back 3

Our current squad is made for a 3-4-3. Now we see a 3-5-2 but with the bench players.

Pozzo has become as such ever since he decided to buy Granada and Watford as well, to an extent.

So if you are an owner who is spreading yourself thin and beyond your means as its obvious, it is unfair to all three clubs and no one really benefits bar his own pockets.

Sell the club, please.

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN

Moist kean is still at juve?

Bernadeschi so good when he is given freedom.
