Hellas Verona in the last week have avoided defeat away to Milan and Lazio and now beaten Juve. Them and Bologna capable of finishing in a european place.
Yeah Bologna are in great form lately

Seems Parma has dropped off though, they were doing well before Xmas

He's flourishing. Been excellent since joining.
The league is better suited for him

Not as many teams press or work as hard off the ball as they would in England/Germany etc, he can play as a bonafide poacher in Serie A, rather than a do it all forward as he had to in England

Fabian Ruiz?

Should he be moulded into a forward? Particularly a 10/RF

I swear he seems to perform way more consistently out wide with space so he can get on that left peg more

Kinda feel there's a lot of Ilicic about him potentially

Do not rate Ruiz in CM, not good enough there

I was actually having this thought in my mind not long ago that he has no real set position at the moment and that's why his form is all over the place. But up forward and outwide seems to be his most effective position... he played there a bit early last season and looked pretty good. Great comparison with Ilicic.

It's unreal how overhyped he is though, the praise he gets on social media whenever he does something good is ridiculous. Was a great goal this morning though!

We're turning into cup specialists!!
 
With a spike of cases of COV-19 in Lombardy and Veneto, many youth and amatuer games have been postponed or cancelled. Given how rapid the virus seems to be spreading, it has to only be a matter of time before it has an impact on the league Both Milans, Atalanta, Brescia and Verona being the most vulnerable.
