5-1!

From Marchisio all the way to Higuain

[rincon]

offside

[M99]

Great win for us

[Luca]

Douglas Costa surely man of the match?

Even frees up space for Dybala playing between two dynamic players like Bern/Cuadrado and Douglas.

Higuain deserved that brace, what a pass from Marchisio ffs, but at least Higuain got one tonight. It's important for him to score because his confidence is low and I don't want to hear Allegri, Agnelli and Del Piero come out and say how important his play is ala Benzema

[M99]

Which Kessie assist was better, the one to Hakan or the one to Birsa?

Its a tough call, the way he transitioned the ball to Birsa may just put Xavi to shame,

[Tomwin Lannister]

*bleep* hate international football nowadays lol. I actively avoid all but the World Cups because at least that has hype. Couldn't care less if every non Juve Italian played like utter shit.

agreed
I think the NT break is the most annoying ever. It gives me an unreal nausea , such as when I went out with a girl and then I discovered she voted for far right

Wc is good because it happens in summer (but for example I am going to hate winter WC in Qatar.. forgive me ES ) and so it is good reason of hobby..of course I support Italy because it is my NT, never had doubts .. but well..I still prefer Inter to win Coppa Italia than Italy to win WC
Even if I celebrated it much in '06 but I don't support Nt to same way now. It is just the love for club that can't change for me

Did you at least smash first? Far right girls would probably give you an unspeakable night of passion ffs.

Some great goals today, didn't even include Dybala or Mertens free kicks ffs

I was thinking that when the commentator said he played really well last game despite not scoring

No wonder Morata left. CR7 has the unique ability to turn CFs into DMs.

[Kaladin]

Calm the f down, its effing SPAL, you see me jumping for joy at Chievo?

Its against these minnows that confirm frauds on your team, i already know the ones on mine as i've suspected before

[rincon]

Agreed on Costa motm. Which is a lot because every forward was great.

I wonder if Allegri will start him vs Milan. Cuadrado is still in top form so I think he will start vs Milan and Sporting. I can definitely see the "old" lineup vs Milan and then Costa and/or Bernardeschi for Sporting.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Imo you should jump for joy. Mid table clubs smashing 4 past relegation candidates is pretty impressive.

Who knows. Even though I post every other day about line ups and formation because I enjoy it from a tactical perspective, I don't even care who starts anymore as long as the team out there does well.

Allegri didn't take any chances at 2-1. It was almost 2-2 but VAR correctly took away SPAL's goal and we sub on: Cuadrado, Pjanic and Marchisio and all subs were used before 75 minutes. This is the kind of rotation that has to make you smile. Every substitution was great and purposeful.

Barzagli and Rugani proved to be a decent partnership in the back. I thought Lichtsteiner was quite poor, he messed up a couple attacks going forward and it was him on Paloschi when he scored for SPAL. These are the kind of matches where its fine but I really feel we need a proper RB.

[rincon]

He is coming back soon to win our hearts

[Robespierre]

Is it penalty seriously? . :hmmm:

He played well for his 40 minutes against Barcelona but that kind of sums it up

Also not sure we'll even see Howedes at this point, what a dreadful move for the guy. Its sad that he joined and got hurt instantly

[Warrior]

We leak goals every game, Howedes will get a lot of game time once he's fit. As CB or as RB.

With Bernardeschi/Cuadrado we can afford someone who is defensive minded behind them, no need for a Dani Alves type of RB.

Sandro-Chiellini-Rugani-Howedes is a good defense on paper.

He's got to get fit first. Latest reports are that he's nearly match fit but a reminder that he's signed August 30 and it is now October 25. That's not a great sign for a player who must make 25 appearances this season to trigger his buyout fee

[breva]

Every result was predictable in this intersettimanale, nothing has changed, except Inter was in first place for about 24 hours. LOL

[Luca]

Going to need someone to make the "Whom'est'dve will stop Lazio from winning the Scudetto this season?", if this form persists ffs.

Lazio level with Juve, beat Juve and Milan away and only lost to Napoli.

They are not a team I've ever particularly liked but this group is really good.

[breva]

Lazio is a very tough team.  They can beat anyone on the day.  I dislike the fascist fans and owner immensely.  I want to see what they do against another big physical team, like Inter. Against a talented tiki taka club like Napoli they lost/

We have to wait until December 30 for that match. If the table stays similar, that is going to be an amazingly intense match

[iftikhar]

Do you guys think Torino and Sassuolo have been pretty underwhelming so far this season.

[Robespierre]

Yes, Expected matches and Infact I missed my sporting betting ( I'd have won 130 euro ) because of Fiorentina-Torino ( played goal goal , but that scrub of Niang hit the post with a distance of 5 metres . Unreal )

Inter 1 Juve 1 Milan 2 Roma 1 Lazio 2 Napoli 2 Atalanta 1 Fiorentina-Torino GG

FFSSSSSSS Torino ****

[Robespierre]

Serie A 2016/17 to 10th matchday

*Juventus 24

Roma 22

Napoli 20

Milan 19

Lazio 18

Atalanta 16


Now if you have 24 points, you're 5th

[Kaladin]

Sirigu's stark decline shocked me, i wonder what happened? Was he always like this?
