Scored the decisive goal today with a goal from distance

Rather €26M for Orsolini than €70M for Chiesa

At the end they'll lose it but another beautiful Hellas Verona performance Dominating Juve

We hit the post twice in the first half but their magic continues. Excellent performance once again.

You know, it's been ages since I last saw Ronaldo play. Let's take a look and see how he's doing.

...and what do you know, he scores.

Still sharp...terrible haircut though.

Bentancur should've done better there, that was a great goal scoring opportunity as Ronaldo was unmarked.

That was a terrible mistake which led to a goal out of nothing.

Pjanic straight up assisting Verona's goal ffs.

Ramsey will go down as our worst signing of the summer

I didn't see the first half and the first 10 min of the second half, but from what I have seen so far, Juve has a lot to think about. Mainly, They're struggling to create chances in the final third and they don't dominate games in Serie as brutally and convincingly as they used to with Allegri.

Of course, I could be wrong about them since this is just one game, and maybe it was different in the previous ones.

FT: 2-1 to Verona.

Can't say I'm surprised, but the race has just gotten a hell of a lot more exciting. Inter has now a chance to go back joint top with Juve, and Lazio is not that far behind either.

HELLAS HELLAS HELLAS HELLAS
The only club of Verona /--\

get beat by a team with Borini leading the line and 40 year old Veloso brehs

edit: just saw Pazzini got the winner

THE Pazzini? ffs, thought he retired 5 years ago

He did, he joined a Serie A team.

Yeah but he's finished, not a Hellas starter, enter in pitch because they were losing and he 's just scored on penalty kick
Still better than Caroll though

Now we need Milan to not be completely useless and trip Inter.

Milan derby tomorrow ffs

We're starting with Padelli, Handanovic is still injured ( never injured in useless years, he does it : now ) , you can be quiet

I miss Toto

finished top scorer for the decade and retired in 2016

semi related since I was a Miccoli fanboy back in the day, just read that a month ago he finally got sentenced over his extortion charge - 3.5 years in prison ffs

Inter are still years behind Juventus in terms of developing their team so I wouldn't bet a penny on them winning the scudetto however I would love to see Juventus flop this season so Sarri is sent back to where he belongs i.e. mid table Serie Zz team.

Lazio to win Scudetto after 20 years and Liverpool to win the PL after 30 years in the same year

He's looking amazing. Sharper than last year.

This 3 month stretch where he's scoring non-stop is his best form in a Juventus jersey.

What a shame we have absolute jabroni's playing in midfield else I'd have given us a very good chance of winning the CL. It seems like another year wasted.

I still maintain my thoughts from the summer that I will be (mildly) surprised to win this league. Shifting the style so much from manager to manager, ending a cycle, while Inter got Conte and a revamp sounded like the exact conditions to end our scudetto run.

We havent even dropped many points, we are on track to the same kind of point tally that we have had in this scudetto streak. Which is surprising, I expected to stumble more in the beginning and the league keeps stronger. Yet Inter and Lazio are going at full pace too. Of course Lazio is unexoexted but as of today I think they have as good of chance as Inter. If we go further in the CL (which I think we will), I would back Lazio for the title.

Inter now has Milan, Napoli (Coppa), and Lazio in a row. These two weeks can define and clarify their season.

A billion january signings and you are complaining about this. No excuses territory. Cant reap the PL's top players and excuse a lineup in front of Castillejo's Milan.

Its basically Kessie (c) + 10 scrubs vs the PL All Stars

We are fucking terrible, Inter will smash us even with a 2nd rate keeper
