It seemed  a bit the replay of  that Juve-Inter 1-3 to me tbh  , I was realizing it during match
Juve who scores immediately, it goes close to score but a great Handanovic avois it ( Vidal in 2012 , Pogba now) , in 2nd half  Inter scores and after that goal Juve disappears ( it was a mental fragility rarely seen under Conte, but it can be just an episode) with Inter to have better chances. But Icardi is not Milito...
Basically tie was right because it was an half time for each but at the same time both aren't satisfied because they feel to have lost 2 points more  than earned one , although for different reasons
Good match anyway with the typical agonism worthy of Derby d'Italia , in this match you can even seeing Kovacic getting a direct red card.

Yep pretty much my thoughts, really looked like it is going to be an epic collapse after sitting on a one goal difference, just like in 2012.

Juan Jesus banned for 4 matches by the way (for elbowing Chiellini)

Seems like Osvaldo is still his old self and will be back on the market shortly.....

Rome derby tomorrow.

Both Roma and Lazio are in form and are 2nd and 3rd respectively. I can see a lot of goals in this. Roma should win this but Lazio have enough to shock Roma as well. But going with Roma for a 3-1 win

I hope Roma will win but tbh Lazio is in a better moment than Roma.
Roma hasn't played well last month , it didn't deserve to win also in Udine last match

Contrarily Lazio has destroyed Sampdoria recently and it can counts on a GOAT Felipe Anderson who is living simply a magic moment

Derby is a particular match though . I can't do a prediction for it.

I' ve noticed Milan has conceded 8 on 22 goals by corner kicks.

I think Milan has this same problem , also changing coaches,  since 10 years

Juan Jesus is just entered in the big list of players who have done violence to Chiellini

From Cavani to Amauri Suarez etc  
Infinite list imo.

Yes, I think the change in coaches is causing some instability within the team and is affecting the development of our young players. There is also a lack of understanding between players since they don't have a fixed system to adapt to.

What a day tomorrow. Rome derby and Napoli-Juve

Hopefully some good football to take the attention away from how miserable we were today.

It's part Tassoti , part the GKs we have been using all these years , Robes . In the past however , it wasn't that big of an issue , we used to have a great defence and made up for it most of the time. It became a huge issue after Nesta and Thiago Silva were gone , there was no one to save Abbiati's ass or make up for Tassoti's outdated schemes against set pieces.  

At least Diego Lopez can actually step out of his small area to produce a block or two and save us here and there . But still , our general defending in the box isn't good and Inzaghi hasn't changed a thing there . Because that's mostly Tassoti's responsibility .

Seedorf knew the issue and wanted Tassoti gone this summer , i suspect for other things too . Instead , Milan kept Tassoti and sacked Seedorf lol , who themselves brought in to change things .

Just in the last two games , we have lost 5 points from 2 corners

Lmao Mancini just got hit in the face by his own player. Fell down like a puppy too

wtf ? why ?

hit with the ball. Not hit.

Best moment of the match so far lmao

Aaand we had to concede

Cant decide who is more selfish between Icardi and Guarin. Poor Podolski

Guarin without a doubt.

Doesn't go a possession without shooting the *bleep* ball.

i still don't get what's a Guarin .

what does it exactly do ? is it still living off the hype of that Falco-Hulk Porto ?

Inter

Mostly living of that hype yes but occasionally does something great.

5 points off 3rd place trophy. Now if only Juve and Roma can do their job.

Guarin is a warrior, sure he is stupid, always killing attacks with his stupid decision making, but you can see that he plays with heart and gives a 100% so i cant hate him.

Felipe Anderson might as well enjoy his last season at Lazio. He is getting bought in the summer lol

Bad to worse for Roma

Lazio 2-0

Ffs Roma ! Do your job !!

Roma is such a joke .

they failed all the big tests this season .

Podolski played a 1st half very good , then in 2nd half he is dropped because he can't keep 90 minutes. he doesn't play a whole match from much time. he already looks like an important player for us. satisfied by him so far

Guarin is simply inconsistent.
He is Doctor Jekyll and Mr.Hyde

He' s capable to make a great assist as against Juve, but after 1 minute he's capable to make a bullshit. He can mark Pogba, but he can't do it for Giaccherini . He depends on matchdays.

Today he played an unreal match for example. Next against Empoli probably not

One of most indeciphrable player ever seen

It was made by Andreolli
Andreolli grown in Primavera, always been an Inter fan , captain today
Beautiful history

and Lazio  might be the favorite team for 3rd place. Most balanced team than Napoli.
As I said they were in a better moment than Roma so I am not surprised about this result, but I was confident in Roma because the derby is a weird match , all the previous situations are deleted , and the worst team in that moment usually wins.
But Felipe Anderson continues to carry Lazio..
He is in a golden moment and atm he is best Serie A player and he 's capable to make everything, but I want to wait time so as to rate him better .

Losing a derby causes always  serious psychological effects at Roma, it is most felt than Milano , but if Roma is a tough team must forget it immediately. Here we ' ll rate really wha't s the Roma under Garcia. How mich is tough psychologically . Last year it won and tie so we haven't countercheck.

I remind still Lazio under Eriksson in 1999-2000 liosing a derby 4-1 ( and 4-0 in first half ) ,  Roma celebrated it as a scudetto but it concluded the league in 5th place, Lazio rolled up their hands and it went to go the league .

but that Lazio had player with balls as Nesta, Mihajlovic, Nedved, Simeone, Stankovic , Veron ...
