Milan's shit start to season goes on as they were comprehensively beaten at San siro by Fiorentina.

Old man Ribery has still got it as he tore the Milan defense apart tonight.

Only club in the world that is worse than Man United when it comes to appointing managers and having coherent policies. 6 games in and they're parking one spot above relegation. Reckon Giampaolo will be sacked before or after the 10th game?

Great consolation goal by Leao tonight though, but it's telling he had to do everything by himself:

You might actually be true about this. They have had Inzaghi who's as shit as OGS but even worse they sacked two perfectly good managers in Seedorf and Gattuso for some dumb ass reasons known only to themselves. On top of that they got themselves sold to one of the worst cancerous corporations in the world and hired Gazidis to run shit for good measure

I think Giampaolo will get the axe sooner than later but the issues ran far deeper than just manager.

Next weekend in Serie A will be special, Derby d'Italia, Inter vs. Juve, Conte vs. Sarri.

The manager is the obvious weak link to be fair. I have watched them quite abit this season and the formation he is playing for their players is rubbish. 

They have spent 400 million euros on players over the past 3 seasons.

Looking at the state of their current squad, you would have to ask questions to their sporting director and executives first.

Very entertaining first half at the Inter-Juve game today.

Dybala gave Juve an early lead but Lautaro equalized from the spot after de ligt gave away a penalty.

Ronaldo has looked very threatening so far with a shot cannoned onto the crossbar and a goal ruled out by VAR.

Inter have suffered since Sensi went off injured.

Juventus win the derby 2-1. Higuain came off the bench to score the winner with a smart finish.

Marco Giampaolo has reportedly been sacked after Milan's terrible start to the season.

Former Fiorentina and Inter manager Stefano Pioli is heavily tipped be his replacement.

Pioli 😆 How many points did Fiorentina pick up last season, 40?

Thought Spalletti was the favourite

He is still contracted to Inter and Milan don't want to pay up his contract for the release.

Thankful egghead is their problem now. Pioli lmao

#pioliout started trending on Twitter before he was even hired.

I wonder how many goals like this he has scored now. He bagged one or two similar ones last season alone.

Manchester United misfit Smalling's shock emergence as Serie A's star defender

By the time his eight-year spell at Manchester United had come to an end - albeit only temporarily as things stand - Chris Smalling had become something of a laughing stock at Old Trafford.

https://www.whoscored.com/Articles/MrG692SX9UWCzeTZyYaKHA/Show/Manchester-United-misfit-Smalling-s-shock-emergence-as-Serie-A-s-star-defender

Improvement or is Serie A that much of a step-down?

Or c) whoscored is a garbage website and shouldn't be taken seriously?

In all fairness Smalling has had a good season so far but has had some shaky moments too. The comparison to Koulibaly though is too ridiculous to even mention. whoscored have zero shame

I've watched very little Serie A this year so not sure how well that claim holds up, but like Jonesy says Whoscores is a bit shithousery and symptomatic of how people misuse stats in football in general.

Yeah remember that stat comparison of Mustafi and van dick for example.

Speaking of defenders in Italy your boy Acerbi did this the other day

Sirigu's reaction 😆 not sure who he's mad at

😆 "Anyone, give me anyone to punch"
