Serie A 20/21

Claudius

Really good pass from our boy Bennacer for the assist there. 3-1. Game over.

QuincyAbeyie

Think Hauge had quite a bit more to do on that goal than Bennacer to be honest.

Klaus

You could say that 😆

It's a nice opening pass from Bennacer but Hauge still has to run forty yards and wrongfoot the fullback before he smashes it into the top corner. Top goal from a player that really excites me.

Klaus

Bennacer had a top game though, full of little creative moments like that which we have no way to statistically quantify but really open the field and lead to dangerous situations. He's a big weapon for Milan. I felt that Gattuso tried to close down as much space as possible in the middle to make it more difficult for them to get the ball to Zlatan, but Bennacer is good enough technically to escape that sort of pressure.

Claudius

He was really good in both directions.

Really enjoying Serie A this season. Good, technically pleasing games. Not the ball bouncing off players.

Klaus

Did you see our boy Berardi earlier today, Claude? Another goal plus assist for him, after scoring twice during the international break too. In this form he's arguably second only to Ibra in the league.

Mkhi with another MOTM performance for Roma. Can't believe he went from not making the bench here to being one of the best players in Serie A

Thats how shit Serie A is. What a goal this weekend for him

No. I’m watching the Sassuolo game today away from the misery of the Arsenal weekend. So happy to see them in 2nd. I had a really good feeling about them going into this season. It also looks like they’ve kept 3 straight clean sheets, including that stout defensive performance vs Napoli. That there would be the big victory for de Zerbi. He’d be pulling the opposite of what Arteta has to do. Going from free flowing offense to more defensive solidity.

The fullback you are talking about is Manolas actually. Utter crap player, so glad we didn't go for him. Every time I watch him he looks like Mustafi mark 2.

Claudius

Inter about to play Sassuolo.

Caputo out for the Neroverdi, but Berardi and Duricic should have enough firepower.

Claudius

Goodness, Chiriches with a series of Mustafisisms to hand Inter a very early lead
And this after 3 clean sheets!

Claudius

Chiriches heads in a Vidal cross to make it 2-0 Inter. He's gone full Shkodran

Claudius

Wow. Gagliardini with a stunning third goal. IT's over now. They haven't looked like 3-0 victors but it is what it is.

mentalvortex

Another 2 points dropped for Juve against newly promoted Benevento. Its five draws from the first eight matches now.

They really missed Ronaldo today who has been their get out of jail card even when Juve are not playing well.

Dybala was dreadful today again. Not sure what has gone wrong with him.

Clrnc

Safe to say the job is too big for Pirlo

Klaus

I don't think the job is too big for Pirlo at all, but it's a restructure and rebuild job rather than a smash and grab for one last scudetto, and it's going to take a little time. Appointing Pirlo was probably sensible because he is one of few people around who will probably be granted that time and patience by the fans.

Claudius

Let’s see. One thing to remember is that Pirlo is trying to draft in different players and also deliberately looking to use a dieffenbachia playing style. So he does need to be given a little bit of time to let his ideas bed in.

But again, it’s 3 months in and we are sizing the man for a casket. Football is too impatient

mentalvortex

The Milan train keeps rolling along with hard fought 2-1 win at Sampdoria.

Pioli's team may do it this season with Juventus still figuring out their play style under Pirlo and Inter being crazy as always.

Klaus

I haven't seen any highlights but it looks like they did it without Ibrahimovic and Bennacer today. That's pretty impressive.

mentalvortex

Yeah, Kjaer was out too. He has surprisingly been very good for them.

Hauge had another very impressive game after being subbed on at half time.

Looking like a bargain every match day.
