And that's why it should have been a penalty, incompetence shouldn't be an excuse. If you can't kick or head a ball without it hitting you in the arms, then don't do it or get called for a foul. Same with tackling, if you can't do it without injuring other players, then don't do it or gtf off the pitch. See van Dijk on Mertens. Intention should be irrelevant.

Typical Italian talent hyped at the beginning as Chiesa,El Shaarawy, etc but I expect to fall soon
Surely I don't care at all

I was referring to Zaniolo humiliating the two Sassuolo defenders, I never said anything about Inter. Maybe, if you weren't so defensive, I would believe that you don't care at all.

As for Chiesa, he has no vision and no composure, Zaniolo is nothing like him. El Shaarawy failed, but not because of a lack of talent.

Why Zaniolo regret for Inter is a constant narrative in Italy and I am tired to hear It

Anyway Sassuolo defence Is same defence that conceded 6 goals at home just 2 days ago Laughing

Just read up on this.

So Inter gave him away as part of the Naingolan deal?

Hope he becomes a world beater.

by Robespierre Mon 31 Dec 2018, 13:27

He has same face as Jovetic , be quiet .

by Robespierre Mon 31 Dec 2018, 13:45

Meanwhile Meite, Torino player, booed at Olimpico
But noone cares because he Is just Meite and because there is not other team to cry because they need to justify a loss
Olimpico will be not banned as San Siro
No messagges of solidarity by other players (ffs I've read even Momo Salah to do It , the football player who didn't want Jews on his team Laughing

) for Meite as such happened for Koulibaly
Children and stepchildren
Typical of Italy . Racism Is a serious matter but It Is vilified so

Couldn't pick him (or any defender who has played a lot this season ) as we have been horrid defensively this season. Olsen, on the other hand, has saved us on several occasions.

Figc acts badly against racism
If you punish a whole stadium / sector, you don't weaken racism, but einforce
It becomes leverage by racists
I get mad for It because : you've institued nominal tickets, many membership cards, so many telecameras within Curva , Digos files anyone, yet you continue to punish community and not those idiots. Even if you could. But It Is the most simple thing .

But giving points penalties would be the worst thing.
Moreover you should not condider them as " most passionate fans" , but ultras in 2018 are modern gangsters.
They earn so , forestalment etc
Mafia , Camorra , Ndrangheta are within Italian curvas. Everything Is certified (not suppositions) and clubs know this. And in fact they tend to not make enemy their ultras. As you know, Agnelli was banned because of contacts with some Juve fans tied to Ndrangheta
So when I' ve read by Breva " South have problems because of mafia etc" I've laughed. South has many problems , but Mafia/Ndragheta have been a greater matter. You can't reason anymore as that criminal organization that threatens farms. Mafia Ndragheta have evolved. They are a National matter organized on highest levels. Italian curvas are an important Mafia source of income.
In conclusion, point penalties are useless and wrong.
You can't change sport results because of few idiots, and idiots 'd not stop. It 'd become further source of blackmail by Curve against their clubs.

Okay.... That Is the main narrative for most numbers of Italian Curva

But I was reading the profile of Curva Nord leader , arrested for the battle against Napoli ultras (when 1 Varese ultras Is died ) and It Is the opposite you'd image after It

A sort of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, It 's shocking to think a person can change so much when he must manage a Curva

Not watched often other teams , but Juventus - Inter 1-0 and Inter - Napoli 1-0 are interesting matches even if just a goal IMO
Same for Atalanta Lazio 1-0
Atalanta Juve surely
Yes Atalanta matches are always worthy to be watched

Roma Genoa 3-2 Is influenced from Olsen disasterclass but Genoa could tie till last minute , so I could say this too

Duvan 27% and Quag 24% conversion rate so far this season
which looks unsustainable

by rincon Mon 07 Jan 2019, 20:49

It isn't. Gasp and Giampaolo are getting the absolute most from their players. Quags looks like he finally achieved consistency with age.

Zapata imo has a ceiling around this level. A return to Samp or max a move to Lazio should be best for him.

by Sina Tue 08 Jan 2019, 17:41

Atalanta's record when scoring first goal of the match( 7 wins,0 draw,1 lost )[only vs Empoli]

Atalanta when conceding first ( 1 wins,3 draw,6 lost )
========================
Inter's record when scoring first goal of the match( 12 wins,3 draw,0 lost )

Inter when conceding first ( 0 wins,0 draw,4 lost )

I guess similar pattern for many teams

by Sina Fri 11 Jan 2019, 17:02

Hamed Traore from Empoli is interesting talent
Quick feet,Great energy,plays with great intensity and can help win the ball back ,relatively strong despite his height,plays some nice passes on the break too
Potential Champions league level
move to Samp level club next would be good

by rincon Sat 12 Jan 2019, 20:36

Coppa Italia

Novara 1-4 Lazio

Samp losing 0-2 to Milan in extra time. Samp could have won this game, great performance by Reina. Cutrone came on in the extra time and in 10 minutes finished 2 crosses in pretty fantastic fashion.

BOLOGNA: Da Costa; Calabresi, Danilo, Helander; Mattiello, Svanberg, Pulgar, Soriano, Dijks; Destro, Sansone. All.: Inzaghi.

JUVENTUS: Szczesny; De Sciglio, Benatia, Bonucci, Spinazzola; Can, Pjanic, Khedira; Bernardeschi, Kean, Costa. All.: Allegri.

by rincon Sat 12 Jan 2019, 21:26

Costa might have just killed Helander

by Robespierre Sat 19 Jan 2019, 19:14

Ok, Zaniolo is officially the new thing of Italian football after this great goal. Just goals missed after his good performances and they are coming. We'll see if he 'll last or not but he seems good.

Today Inter vs Sassuolo.
Sassuolo is more than a bogey team for Inter.

In last 8 matches, Inter've lost for 7 times against Sassuolo.
Unreal stats. Not even Juve

by rincon Sat 19 Jan 2019, 19:56

Pellegrini maybe has become Roma's best player this season.

Looking forward to Sassuolo beating inter tonight Molenation

by McLewis Sun 20 Jan 2019, 00:44

Zaniolo just going from strength to strength. Pellegrini seems primed to be our next captain though after Florenzi given that he's Roman.

We're still pretty sloppy overall, as evidenced by giving away 2 goals when 2-0 up, but appear to recovering enough of that lost confidence to conjure up winning goals again. Had this been the Fall, this would've ended 2-2 probably.

Wonderful have SES back and it looks like Schick's head doctor may have fixed him too as he looked very positive and involved all game, setting up the winner for SES.

Best news? We might actually have a RB on our hands with Rick Karsdorp. He looked pretty good overall most of the game. Seems like whatever issues he had with EDF may be getting resolved. Might end up having a future here after all.

Given our recent trend, it's more likely that they be sold over next 2-3 seasons. :facepalm:

I highly doubt that actually. Foreign talent like Schick, Manolas, and Under are ahead of these guys in terms of sales. We may be a selling club, but we rarely sell homegrown talent unless they explicitly want to go (see Romagnoli and Bertolacci) so I don't see any of Florenzi, El Shaarawy, Lo. Pellegrini, Lu. Pellegrini, Zaniolo or Cristante leaving. They are expected to form the spine of the team for foreseeable years, especially given that Monchi has expressed a desire to make the team more Italian as well. It would take an Alisson-level offer to even get Monchi to a negotiating table for even one of these players if they all fully realize their potential, I believe.

by Robespierre Sun 20 Jan 2019, 13:21

Terrible performance and I was forced to listen the match to the radio.

we were even close to lose it if Skriniar didn't save this on 91'

Zapata scoring in the 7th game in a row for the 0-2.

This is really a Serie A vs B match, somehow the odds for Atalanta were at 1.44.

by rincon Sun 20 Jan 2019, 13:58

Zapata hatrick, nice third goal

by rincon Sun 20 Jan 2019, 15:23

Simeone really looks like a fraud, doing the bare minimum in front of goal
