Scudetto dangerously prepared

A seriously odd couple

Hapless_Hans wrote:why is Lautaro so bad at heading

that doesn't seem possible for a professional striker at top level

Even last year he 's missed these goals at heading

He must improve absolutely on this. Do you know who was our best header ? Perisic. (yesterday he was at San Siro )
Probably you'll notice it also in Bayern.
He is great as header, and that's why he loves  basketball

At Inter's first goal, Lecce tried to press, Inter gets around it, which is fine, but then the three attackers stay high and Inter have the time to send the ball wide to Asamoah, who puts it in the middle, then it bounces to Candreva who sends it back wide to Asamoah, who gives it to Brozo, who shoots. None of Lecce's forwards came back into the frame during this time. Same thing at the second goal. I stopped watching the game after that, I just went to the highlights

Lukaku had a terrible stop and fucked up on that counter, but he was okay otherwise.

Super cool tweet.

Can't keep this man down!! Incredible story of Italian @BfcOfficialPage head coach #SinišaMihajlović and his fight against #Leukemia! Stay strong coach & #Forza! #BelieveInTheFight https://t.co/wIVm4Lr9ny

Luciano Spalletti still without a club???

Probably waiting for EDF to fail out at Samp. I could see him taking that job at some point this season.

Well, his salary is so high.
He's still 2 years of contract under us , so he enjoys it ... It's hard to find a club who can satisfy it, also economically.
Anyway I expect he will lead Fiorentina a day, it's his little dream, he is a Fiorentina fan

Bologna-SPAL should be a nice game today, both teams are exciting and even.

Game of the matchday is tomorrow night, that I won't be able to watch live

Juve-Napoli

This is coming at a poor time for us since we are only starting to change the playing style to Sarri's, while Sarri is still not healthy, it's unsure if he will make the game. Otherwise our team is fit, everyone except for Ramsey should be available.

Hakan makes it 1-0 in the 27th min in San Siro vs Brescia, to cap off our first goal of the season.

Not much to comment on so far bar the changed formation, Silva over a clearly off-confidence Piatek and an improved use of players.

Suso is tragic

Milan won with Utd dropping points again

@Kaladin

Same old shite midfield carried by Pjanic. Can't watch the game and i'm not even mad.

If someone can give a good feedback of De Ligt's 1st appearance would be appreciated

Koulibaly is ready for a clinic, them tackles damn

de Ligt looking so eager to prove himself its definitely a good sign from someone who had captaincy and Ajax at his will, and at such a young age.

So far Bonucci taking the command between them two and they seem to communicate well together despite the stark language difference.

Mostly watching him tonight.


Gonzalo Higuain makes it 2-0 with a celebration against his former club Napoli.

Utterly DESTROYED Koulibaly there and slots it past the GK.

He literally had three defenders and him and managed to score.

Brilliant goal.

2-0 inside 20 mins . Game done here imo. Thanks Piemonte Calcio for saving my time.

Higuain's playmaking ever since he began under Rafa in Napoli has been brought out so well and on display today with a brilliant pass to Khedira who misses a 1-on-1 with the GK.

When he is played like a #9 and without freedom it does not suit him but given the reins he has today and on display last game it can work superbly well for Juventus.

Napoli are like a baby deer learning how to walk...game over, nice try, gotta count on Conte this season to rival Juve.

Carlo

Can someone pls explain how some of these strikers like Higuain, Falcao, Forlan, Shevchenko, etc., are so good in the other league but just flop in the EPL?

What an awesome performance from Higuain so far

Looking unbelievably sharp and decisive

Surprisingly good game from Khedira as well

Maybe Sarriball suits certain players afterall

I said Higuain was Juventus' best looking player last game (paired with Pjanic) and this game is no different.

He is literally overshadowing Cristiano with his influence on the ball yet simultaneously combining well with him.

Sarriball was made for Higuain and launched him to the next level of his playing style that was influenced under Rafa.

Higuain looked great in the first game too

Khedira missing that chance for 3-0 was tragic

Everyone looking good though. Even De Sciglio was flying until he got hurt

So Manolas-Koulibaly have conceded 5 goals in a match and half

Manolas is one of the most overrated defenders of this generation. Not surprised.

Although what does surprise me is Napoli bought bunch of scrubs rather than improving their already mediocre squad. Wonder if it's an issue of money.
