Serie A 2020/21 Thread

Definitely agree Fiorentina have more talent, Kevin Lasagna is Serie B standard for example yet Udinese persist with him

I think Udinese are more of a system based side I guess, but yeah, both teams need to find a way of being clinical.

Can you see Fiorentina fighting for an EL spot, or will that be out of reach?

Will be out of reach with Iachini IMO.

I hate the la liga one where the narrator tells you the result before they show footage. Please tell me serie a isn't the same.

I know what you mean about the delay I check on a Monday or Tuesday and nothing quite often

That annoys me too about the La Liga one

Nah Serie A do it properly, normally Gary Taphouse narrates it

I wonder if Taphouse made the switch to beIN/Serie A a couple of seasons ago because he was only the 3rd/4th dog in the IMG EPL line up behind the likes of Drury and Champion or if he was pushed out? But he is Serie As main commentator though.

Wish they’d stop wasting time showing MLS, there’s not much as others but any is too much

I dont mind the MLS in small doses. Highlight shows or mini matches its good, but middle of the day live full games, no thanks

I actually cant watch it. I obviously follow Spurs most closely but like to keep up with other leagues and want to watch them in packages like a 1hr show. If I wanted just the result I'd google it. Bloke reads out the results 2 mins into the show

GAGF Juve you campaigners

Same with Lega Serie A too

Some weird news coming out of Serie A - Juventus all set and ready to play, Napoli... didn't travel, should have already kicked off but... well... how do you play with only one team?!

NAPOLI were BANNED from travelling to Turin to play Juventus but the Serie A champs insist the game is still ON.

No doubt Juve want to force a Napoli forfeit. Not sure if the football authorities will agree.

Absolute farce from Lega Serie A

Them and Juve in bed with each other

lol @ juv napoli

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Going by the rules and what was agreed on with the govt the game should have proceeded. The Naples Health Authority screwed up and should not have stopped the team ...and frankly Napoli team should have told the health authority they have interpreted the agreement incorrectly. Seems to me they were only too pleased to not have played with three players infected.

Based on that it should be three point to Juve.

Chiesa

Interesting to see how he goes at Juve - not sure he's an overly pressing need for them but it's just standard Juve wanting all the talent. Hope he takes the next step though and doesn't stutter like Bernerdeschi has.

 

[Adam_23]

This whole Juve/Napoli fiasco and all the events that happened over this was bizarre. As a Napoli fan, hope it gets officially postponed and we aren't handed a 3-0 forfeit...

International break now. Stand outs so far for mine have obviously been Atalanta - like wow, what a team. 14 goals already in 3 games, Gomez on fire... and also how good are the young full-backs in Milan, with Theo Hernandez at AC and Achraf Hakimi at Inter. Super exciting players.

We need another RWB to rotate and hopefully take over Cuadrado

Aaaannnnnddddddd Ronnies got Coronavirus

Surely Juve will play him on the weekend

 

[go you pups]

Juve get their 3 point gift and Napoli docked a point

Napoli will appeal

 

[go you pups]

Lozano on fire

Atalanta have injuries or Coronavirus issues? Cannot believe the scoreline so far

Papu Gomez only one who's showed up so far, Napoli have dominated from the first second

 

[go you pups]

Seen someone on twitter say fatigue

Atalanta having more internationals these days

 

[Adam_23]

That first half last night was the most enjoyable Napoli performance in a couple of years. Osimhen has completely changed our attack, he's just so dynamic with his movement and speed. Lozano looking like a whole new player compared to last season too.

And what a start for Milan, big win against Inter. 4 from 4 now.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Going to have to catch replay of Sassuolo Torino game...5 goals in 14 minutes, Torino blow a 3-1 lead

Dybala does love a good roll on the deck. He’s done it 4 or 5 times when this referee clearly doesn’t give a crap about anyone making a meal of a challenge.
