Serie A 20/21

Atalanta lost again, this time to Sampdoria by 3-1.

Maybe Serie A teams are figuring out how to play them.

Zlatan with a brace against Roma yesterday (also hilariously gifted them an assist to give away the victory), third brace in a row in Serie A. 17 goals and 5 assist in 25 games since he returned to Milan. Current top scorer in Italy at the age of 39.

If we had him leading our line even at the age of 39 instead of Lacazette we will be top of the table

Apparently Rambo is picking up form now for Juve. Probably means he'll be injured next month.

He started the season on fire and then promptly got injured missing next 2-3 games.

Watched Atalanta's loss last week to Sampdoria.

I was very impressed by Samp's Norwegian defensive mid Morten Thornsby.

Completely shut down the likes of Papu and Ilicic and also popped up with a goal.

Apparently he did the same thing the week prior to Luis Alberto and Milinkovic-Savic as Sampdoria had bossed Lazio.

Didn't know he played DM for them now. He's usually been played at RB I think (and not very well imo).

Gervinho with a great finish against Inter. I swear he scores against Inter every year

mentalvortex

A lot of issues for Inter.

They are conceding a lot of goals which is uncharacteristic for a Conte team and completely reliant on Lukaku (and Barella to an extent) offensively.

Lautaro is having a horror show so far (showing that 100 million fee demanded for him was completely unrealistic).

Ibrahimovic taking the piss again. Milan haven't lost in nine months or so now

Europa League favourites?

Zlatan adds to his legend every passing week. What an icon.

Zlatan just revealing how pointless Serie A is, surely. He wasn't even this effective in the MLS was he?

Klaus

53 goals in 58 games for Galaxy.

It's not a comment on Serie A, bloke is just one of the greatest players in modern football. Ronaldo plays in Italy too and he hasn't run away with the numbers despite playing for the by far best team in the country geared towards maximising his output. Just look at where this Milan team was when he arrived ten months ago. There are less than a handful of players in the world who can have this sort of transformative effect on an entire club.

Coombs

Good point about Ronaldo. Zlatan is ridiculous but I just find it hard to take seriously due to my own prejudice.

mentalvortex

The only blemish on Zlatan's legacy has been his non-performances in European competition.

He has always gone missing in crucial CL/EL games throughout his career.

On Cristiano - 55 goals in 65 Serie A games isn’t exactly awful.

Claudius

Speaking of, he’s warming up. Juventus really struggling here vs Spezia. Headed to their 4th draw in 6 games. What’s a Cuadrado?

Claudius

And he’s scored within 3 minutes. 2-1. Great centre forward movement. The type you don’t see from Lacazette

Clrnc

Absolutely insane stuff in Turin. Torino scored a late goal in the 88th min to lead against Lazio.

Lazio then scored 2 in added time to snatch victory.
