Calcio Saga 19/20

Cagliari

Nice even match. The draw makes sense in the end.

Inzaghi should have Lazio 2nd soon

conte out

Big thanks to Frenzy. Ever since he officially joined the bandwagon, Inter have been on a slump. Must be that Man United effect. Mediocrity can be contagious indeed. Will be super proud of you if your continued support makes them somehow finish 6th just like your lovely Red Devils team.

Did Jjuve draw to Cagliari as well Robes?

Usual tragic January by Inter.

Has your club a cursed month ?
Well Inter has it. It is January
Inter are the club that can get a record points in Autumn but then well it's came January

Accustomed about it.

Every two years : we fight point on point for the title till to December,  then we go down because the dog must take a piss, we go back home and well we  don't know why, but surprise! We are fourth on  -20 from first place .

"But that's been 10 minutes."

At least we're getting Christian Eriksen

What I'm looking for from Roma in the derby:

- Kluivert and Under must track back. Under has to do it especially as Santon is the weaker of our 2 full-backs, especially against Correa.

- Under has to utilize his pace and dribbling against a much slower Lulic. Lulic is a wily defender though so it won't be easy.

- One of Cristante / Veretout needs to put in some good balls from deep. This is where Diawara will be missed so keenly as his passing ability is excellent. One of these 2 has to keep us ticking over.

- Dzeko has to make the most of his chances. Nuff said.

- Can't allow Lazio to crowd out Pellegrini. If that happens, Dzeko's going to have to depend on scraps.

- Spinazzola's going to need a good game against Lazzari, who often doesn't get a whole lot of hype, but is a very solid player in this Lazio side.

The rest we don't have all that much control over as Lazio are on an absolute tear and I don't think our backline can handle Immobile, Luis Alberto and Correa when they counter us in space.

Must take our chances or we have no shot at ending Lazio's winning streak.

Suso to Sevilla, 18 month loan

Good riddance

Good pass in from Cristante. Good goal from Dzeko. We're doing what we're supposed to be doing so far. This is far from over though.

Almost 2-0 as I wrote this.

Pau Lopez

I feel instantly vindicated

Game on

That was ridiculous from Lopez.....absolutely no reason for that.

He's had nothing to do up until this point. Just wow.

Saw highlights now, Dragowski omg lol countless saves, penalty, long range saves, one on one saves. long term going to be massive keeper for Fiorentina.

Dragowski was one of the reasons why I questioned Roma paying so much for Pau Lopez. Looks like an excellent young keeper.

You were wrong anyway
Paul Lopez >> Dragowski
Polish still inconsistent imo, Pau Lopez is always one of best Roma players

Lol sorry for this jinx McLewis

Incredible mistake by Pau Lopez now , 1-1

Incredible indeed. Unbelievable stuff. Savorani has to be fuming, I'd guess.

Roma are containing Lazio very well. Haven't seen them stifled like this all season. Pau Lopez error aside they should be winning this game.

Still 1- 1 but Roma are destroying Lazio

It's crazy how many chances we've had today and yet have only taken 1.

It's probably the only thing we've done wrong today outside of the Acerbi goal.

Fonseca's tactics have been very good, given so many injuries. Now he he has to get this side scoring more goals when it matters. Way too many shots getting blocked, sliced or put right at the keeper.

inter are in a bad run. juve will smell blood

i think the opposite XD sensi was a frequent called up player in mancini team so , lets see though its a tough call for mancini

though, today castrovilli is placed in observation apparently he had some kind of consciousness issues that he was not even aware where he was.

hope it is not long term and just normal tiredness or sickness for him

That's because Mancini is a numpty who makes a couple of his selections based on who the media talks about the most. Eriksen should replace Sensi, both on the field and in the newspapers, so hopefully Mancini will be saved from his own stupidity

I'm not seeing Lazio-Roma because ESPN are stupid, but I've seen the goal and that's Lazio's season in a nutshell. Luckiest team by far, hopefully they regress to the mean and end up fighting for 4th place on the last day, but they still have a huge advantage

What a boring game. Stuck in the midfield. Need to take out Higuain for Bernardeschi or Costa and then later on Rabiot for Matuidi.

Insigne makes it 2-0 in Napoli vs Juve in the 81st with a beautiful volley from a cross from the right in the box past Szcnzcny and a deserved forthcoming win. Dominant performance by Napoli and definite vengeance from their unlucky loss in Torino earlier this season.

Ronaldo makes it 2-1. Napoli on the backfoot now.

Final seconds of the game Cuadrado shoots an early cross in the box to find Higuain who makes an amazing overhead kick from that acute angle to test the GK but its saved. Brilliant final moments but a great plan by Gattuso to win it for Napoli.

Inter if they did not choke yet again would not be 3 points behind but definitely some hope for them now.

Napoli

@Robespierre, are the players name in the back of the jersey written in Chinese! Because you have a Chinese owner?

@McLewis, both the goals were results of the most atrocious goof-ups you will ever see. Going by the highlights, we played pretty well; need some better finisher.
