lanky_ffc Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Bear in mind Atalanta have rested about 4 regular starters. Roma have been an utter shambles at the back. Fazio and Manolas look like they've never played together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 There is a massive Kevin Strootman shaped hole in the Roma midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Speaking of midfield, Fofana looks good at Udinese. Been watching the highlights on YouTube (Serie A does well in that it has an official channel with highlights in Italian and English available pretty soon after each matchday) and the first Fiorentina goal and the SPAL winner were fantastic hits. Anyone know why Frosinone had to play in Torino for their home game v Bologna? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman Hessian Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 how many times have you seen players clearly mouthing obscenities during televised games ? interesting take on things from Italy where Udinese's Rolando Mandragora was "caught" uttering "blasphemous comments" and now awaits a decision from the authorities with regard to punishment (my translation of Tuttomercatoweb.com's report): Quote Possible bad news for Udinese - Rolando Mandragora now faces trial by TV for swearing. The Corriere dello Sport explains what happened during the match with Sampdoria. The Neapolitan midfielder, caught by the cameras, allowed himself to come out with a "double blasphemous expression" and, according to article 35 of the CGS, could now be punished. It was not noticed by the referee, so the case goes to the Federal Prosecutor. The decisions of the Sporting Judge will be announced on Monday not sure what the Italian blasphemy laws might be, but this seems to (potentially) be a bit draconian, to say the least ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Tremendously entertaining game last night, pretty much from kick off. Roma were abysmal in the first half, midfield and defence all over the place. Atalanta really should have scored a couple more and killed the game. I think they came out thinking it was won already, but Kluivert coming on and the change of shape that brought turned the game on it's head. Been a while since I regularly watched Italian football but I'll definitely be tuning in again soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coooombe Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Atalanta knocked out of Europe to Copenhagen. They should have been out of sight in both legs. Reckon they'll be seriously dangerous in the Serie A now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon they'll be seriously dangerous in the Serie A now. They out-shot them 48-13. No idea how they didn't score, especially in the first leg. Agree that they could have a good season as I already thought they had a nice deep squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 That Karsdorp is a fucking imposter.Great pass from Rodriguez for the goal mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Milan 1-0 through a nicely worked and have been on top for most of the game without creating too many clear chances . Roma have switched to a back 3 tonight and they don't look particularly comfortable in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Late SCENES as Milan nick the win - an absolutely terrible pass to concede possession deep into injury time for the goal. The delay involving VAR is still too long but the system correctly called two very difficult decisions in that game. Milan's disallowed goal could not have been accurately called by a linesman - it would have been a pure guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 hafta say that i'm enjoying milan so far this season - higuain looks psychotic, always liked donnarumma - and gattuso is like roy keane on a bad day; it's a bit like the vicarious pleasure of watching car crashes and the like, but they do see to be unsufferably entertaining from one perspective or another oh - and that 3-0 last december 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

true_rover Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Napoli have been very disappointing tonight.On the flip side, Samp have been excellent, and after the first goal being a beauty, topped off with an absolute stunner from Quagliarella 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
