    Think it's on Premier 2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Inter need to win this if they can. Juve won't lose many & Inter are capable of punishing them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Inter pull level from the spot.
    That early Dybala goal & Ronaldo hitting the bar made me think this could be a long night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Ronaldo goal disallowed. Big blow for Inter seeing Sensi go off. They need half time.
    This has been a really good game to watch so far.

    Massive blow alright, him going off has changed the game. Sarri winning the tactical battle as well.

    Goal for Juve, very impressed by them tonight. Sarri is a great manager.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Lukaku has been incredibly bad. Even if Martinez was dead he should have been left on instead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,394 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Entertaining game.

    That Serie A is boring, isn't it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,221 ✭✭✭n32


    Great game. Infinitely better than anything the premiership has offered up so far this season


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Was really disappointed in Barella & Lukaku. Inter spent a lot in them but Martinez & Sensi were missed badly when they went off. Inter just didnt have the quality to come on & change the game. Conte has improved them but there is still a lot of work to do unfortunately, such is their quality when he walked in.

    It will be interesting to see how long he persists with him, he hasn't been great at all but Conte pushed hard to get him and for big money so could be stubborn and keep playing him. I think Sanchez should start ahead of him, he links up well with the rest of the players and works much harder.

    Undefeated teams in Serie A:

    Juve

    That’s all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Disappointed Inter couldn't get at least a draw. Fair play to Juve they were fired up for it.

    Bologna vs Lazio was fun and the highlights are worth checking out. Four goals, two red cards, and a late penalty missed.

    Giampaolo gone. Apparently the decision was made at half time on Saturday.
    Pioli & Spalletti linked. If you are feeling underwhelmed you are right.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Thought he might get a bit longer but it's not hugely surprising.

    PioliOut trending already.

    Unfortunately it was just a matter of time. I find it hard to see any manager going in there and having huge success and getting any where near the CL at this point.

    Just don't have the players

    In fairness to him last season Gattuso was only one point away from 4th.

    true but the other teams around Milan have really strengthened during the summer where as it feels AC Milan have just gone back wards. I suppose if they got that CL spot they could of really spent the money but it's like they're in limbo at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,856 ✭✭✭irishguitarlad


    Pioli is coming in, expect a few good results at the beginning and then complete stagnation like at Fiorentina and Inter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,063 ✭✭✭Smell the glove


    Pioli will steady the ship but can't see him doing much. Sad to see Milan in such bad shape. Ranieri the new manager of Samp is interesting , you just don't know with him it could go either way.

    Can't believe Atalanta blew a 3-0 lead over Lazio to draw the game.

    Didn't see the match myself but both penalties looked soft from the clips I've seen, didn't look like much contact, if any, for the first and the second one ìt looks like the defender is trying to pass the ball and Immobile puts his leg across him without making any attempt to actually touch the ball. I could be wrong because I've only seen poor quality videos so far but that's what it looked like to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Inter survived a little scare too this morning.

    Roma are away at Samp(now under Ranieri) & have Dzeko wearing a mask up top now who fractured a cheekbone 2 weeks ago. Kalinic started & came off injured; Roma are so injury ravaged they haven't any other choice to bring on Dzeko who rightfully looked annoyed to be asked to come on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Nainggolan with a screamer against SPAL.

    Great technique. The penultimate replay here is really satisfying to watch:

    Nice goal by Boga for Sassuolo against Inter as well. De Zerbi's side are usually entertaining. Really like that Inter kit today too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Great start for Pioli. 2-2 draw at home to Lecce; can they sack him already as it's only wasting others time watching them play with the same failings from the same players.
    The highlight of the game for me was taking out the bins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Great equaliser from Calderoni. Tricky match next for Milan, away to Roma.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Stalemate between Brescia and Fiorentina this evening. Tonali and Pulgar looked good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Jack Rodwell, supposedly signing with Roma until the end of the season. I know they have injury issues but what an embarrassing signing; have they no academy players at all???
    This club were in a CL semi final 18 months ago & now resort to picking up rubbish on the cheap.

    Some surprises today. Juve held to a draw at Lecce. Ronaldo wasn't there, and with their finishing they missed him.

    Inter can go top with a home win over Parma but they're 2-1 down in the first half. Karamoh with an assist and great goal against his parent club.

    Lukaku makes it 2-2 just before the hour mark.

    It ends 2-2. Wasted opportunity for Inter.
