Serie A 2015/2016

Klaus

Incredible. Cuadrado toes it in from two yards in the 94th minute. This goals means everything to Juventus. There would have been a lynching after the game if they had failed to win here.

Clrnc

They are basically doing a Chelsea. Incredible how similar their situations is after winning the league.

Handanovic just made 4 saves consecutively. Amazing.

He's been one of the best goalkeepers this season. Inter's top of the league now!

Klaus

Very impressed with Jovetic again. There's so much football in him.

Bryant

better quality:

I'd be a little pissed off if I were a Slovenian football fan, the two greatest talents the country has produced in ages in Handanovic and Oblak are both goalies.

jones

Also Serie A is probably the most interesting league to follow in Europe this season. The top teams are very evenly matched and the overall quality of all teams has significantly improved as well.

Klaus

Yeah, it's been that way for 2-3 years now in my opinion. It's just really fun to watch. Tactical and technical ceiling is high and the football doesn't become static. There's a lot of identity to many of the teams.

I got pissed off watching Chelsea-Liverpool today by contrast, same as City-United last week. Both were horrible fucking matches that bored me out of my mind. So many millions running around on the pitch at the same time and so very little special qualities to show for it. Premier League is incredibly disappointing from an entertainment aspect at the moment. It's funnier following Mourinho's breakdown through the media than actually watching most of the teams play.

jones

I agree that Serie A has been on the up for at least a year or two, but the title race has been rather straightforward in the last years I'd say. You're right about the rest though, I still prefer Spanish football overall but tactically Serie A has always been Europe's apex.

Both the Torino derby and Inter v Roma were thoroughly enjoyable games.

Nagatomo had an excellent game keeping Salah quiet. Mancini is an idiot for starting him so rarely. Juan Jesus is nowhere near as good.

Klaus

Bertolacci makes it 1-0 for Milan after houseboat keeping from Marchetti. The goal was all Cerci though. He's starting to look like his old self again.

Klaus

Cerci hits the post from zero angle after a beautiful takedown. Love that guy. Could have been a superb goal.

Klaus

Video of Cerci's chance:

Such elegance.

It's been a dull game otherwise. Lazio look like they didn't expect Milan to turn up today. Anderson has done very little because he never gets the ball. Hoping for improvement in the second half.

Klaus

Alex gets knocked out cold and is carried off the pitch, still unconscious. Mexes gets subbed on and scores with his first ball touch.

Typical Milan match.

Shady

Yeah, Lazio have been disappointing.

Cerci has been impressive.

I'd say that goal was all Marchetti to be honest, dreadful keeping. Milan are playing Donnarumma in goal now for a few weeks by the way, doesn't really look out of place despite being born in 1999. To put it in perspective, Abbiati who's still on the club's books moved to Milan a year before Donnarumma was born.

He wasn't very good for Lazio's goal, haven't seen anything from him that seems extraordinary, other than his age.

jones

I think it's extraordinary already that he doesn't look completely lost out there. Haven't seen too much but I read he's supposed to be a Buffon level talent and that people aren't even surprised he's already made it into the first team because apparently he's been known for a good few years already.

Klaus

A 106 year old Massimo Maccarone just scored against Juventus. They're 0-1 down to Empoli away.
