not really surprising but samp ahead.

[Andrew]

Bbbbbbbbeeeelan

[RealGunner]

That was an incredible performance by sampdoria



Not sure Kalinic is Milan's level tbh

[RealGunner]

Milan play Roma, Inter, Juve and Napoli in the next month and a half.

Montella sacked before jan imo

[Firenze]

imagine getting battered by Sampdoria after spending 500 million in the summer.

Bonucci leaving Juve for Milan already looking like a fraud

[Luca]

He left to get paid, doubled his salary ffs. Makes me remember that this sport often has not much to do with sport.

Milan is going heavy for the EL it seems

[rincon]

It wasn't unexpected imo, had 1X. Samp are very solid and playing at home. They were too unlucky not to win vs Verona last match. All their results have been good. Their midfield is really strong, now they are missing a Muriel to score more like last year.

[McLewis]

Montella is one of my favorite players ever. Definitely my favorite Roma player.....but I'm getting a distinct feeling the task of molding 200m worth of players may just be a bit much for him tactically.

It's still early days and this team needs a lot of time to gel, but tactically they should at least be starting to show signs they understand what he wants from them by now. Not sure that's happening or if it's just really really gradual, but that's worrying either way.  

As Rincon said, Samp are a tough nut to crack at home.....well I think for everyone not named Juve that is.

[rincon]

Milan really don't look like Montella has any clue what his first 11 is or what the attacking movements are or anything.

Tbf to Montella I don't think the team is well built in terms of "fit" between the players. Its what I was saying in those long posts with Dante.

Looking at the squad really doesn't tell you much about how they should play. There is no LW for the 4-3-3. No room for Suso to be effective in the 3-5-2. No defined role for Calhanoglu to shine when he plays. Andre Silva no playing enough. 4 CFs. Lack of a fast passing player in the mold of eternal target Badelj.

Thee squad needs this season to find clarity and then next summer to tune it properly.

[RealGunner]

Immobile might get 40 this season ffs

You should know better than to talk about Milan with such negativity and malice. Top 2 finish for sure.

Shame that Dante/Giancarlo disappeared after Lazio battered them

[McLewis]

That Inter goal is a certainty at this point. Been knocking on Genoa's door steadily from minute 1.

Brozovic corner just now was garbage though.

[RealGunner]

Immobile might get 40 this season ffs

and again

0-2

[Luca]

Immobile again. Great goal.

Best striker in Italy on current form?

[McLewis]

Has to be. He's nigh on unplayable right now.

[RealGunner]

Easy.

Dybala close 2nd

[Luca]

Dybala isn’t a striker

I’d say it’s Immobile, Dzeko, Mertens

Belotti and Higuain starting slowly

[McLewis]

Great chance from Taarabt. Genoa's best player by miles right now.

[Luca]

@rincon

Mandragora incredible goal

[McLewis]

Crotone leading Benevento. Some Juve youth player scored a worldie I see.

[RealGunner]

Inter look a bit toothless

[RealGunner]

Perin is very good

[McLewis]

That kid Omeonga from Genoa has looked rather good today.

[McLewis]

Dalbert has been a bit poor though. Not a lot came off for him this game.

[RealGunner]

D'AMBROSIOOOOOOOOOOOO

YEASSSS

1-0

[Luca]

Inter with the goal, it’s been coming for a long time
