Calcio Saga 19/20

Honestly, well deserved win from Atalanta. They are never easy to play against and that 2nd half is exactly why.

I do think Spinazzola's injury ruined the groove we were in, the game turned sour quickly from there.

We just didn't take our chances and Atalanta took enough of theirs. This is a brutal run of games we're in so this is the one I'm not surprised we didn't take points from. On to Lecce where we should hopefully rebound nicely.

Thoughts on Smalling, tonight?

D'Ambrosio 1-0

Who is this left back #22 ? He's pure shit

He looked good. Surprisingly good, I would even say. I liked what I saw. We'll see how he looks in a run of games hopefully.

Benching Immobile was admirable yet the surest way to lose this match

Barella at Inter, another case that makes me sad to think we field Matuidi.

Thanks McLewis and glad to hear that.

Immobile really does run Lazio and beyond goals but this won't be believed in GL given he is one of those few players many here just do not rate, for some reason.

Not only he gets goals but he pulls the whole line forward with his forward on-ball runs and moves into the correct areas to get their inverted players into the box.

Inzaghi had the correct idea for discipline but Lazio literally have no other goal threat.

Need to close the league today IMO

Indeed Caicedo played a great match, better than Immobile

For Inter

Caicedo is aggressively useless.

Incredible defender.
The best Dutch defender in Serie A.

Have you seen the match? Cancelo was incredible today but Correa has wasted chances.
Lazio burnst out when Caicedo had been replaced, seriously

Yes I watched. Correa was the worst one squandering chances no doubt, some 5 chances wasted. With Caicedo it never becomes anything though. Tries as he might he doesn't score and Lazio is more toothless with him on the field. Give Immobile the 90 minutes and a goal will come from one of his actions.

Underrated.

Strange that an Inter-Lazio is decided not by any forwards or attacking players but by a Biraghi-D'Ambrosio combination. Proper Conte win. Lazio a bit unlucky but the 1-0 is fair enough, their defense continues to be tragic.

De Vrij incredible but of course Handanovic has been immense too today , if we 've concluded first half 1-0 is because of him

Next 2 matches are difficult for us, Sampdoria and Juventus ..Juve ok, not need to explain the reason, but Genova wll be tough match.
They've lost 4 matches on 5 and it's quite incredible , I don't like to face teams when they're underperforming

Montella got his first win since April 2019

At least its not against Milan

Agreed

Unreal disrespect towards Stefano Denswil

The most surprising result is clearly Napoli loss at home against Cagliari  Read now lol

After Nainggolan injury Cagliari are flying, 3 wins in 3 matches, they're deserving hype of this summer, who knows if they can really fight for Europe ( imo no, you can't go far with Simeone as CF.
Nandez though

Let's make unnecessarily big statements and disrespect this group.

Just read that. 30 shots and no goal. Reminds me of that Atalanta match that costed them the CL spots vs Empoli.

Seeing Robes this happy is beyond disrespectful. Cannot wait for Jjuve to end this charade.

Deserved win for Atalanta,what a cameo by Duvan,Hateboer was great too

I know some of you mentioned that Cagliari (and perhaps Bologna) would do good (by their standards, I assume), but are they a really competitive team or did Napoli had had one of their many brain-farts?

Also, why can't I distance myself from Roma?

Cagliari is good this season, and going to them is always tough, still it was a lucky result going by the highlights. 2 posts hit, 30 shots, all the possession, seems like one of "those" days.

This wasn't a day to be sad about watching Roma imo. It was a good match. Atalanta is starting to fire up, when they do, they can (and did) beat anyone. Cant even say Roma underperformed, Atalanta just stepped up.

Marten De Roon is the most amusing player of the Serie A , no doubts
