Lazio 1 up after 15 mins, deservedly so. Juve not at the races so far.

Jelle1880 · 06-03-2021 09:03PM

Demiral lol, got completely rinsed. Kulusevski also at fault big time.

ShamoBuc · 06-03-2021 09:11PM

Could have been a handball and a pen.

ShamoBuc · 06-03-2021 09:25PM

What an absolute belter, cracker!!

ShamoBuc · 06-03-2021 09:32PM

Great first half of football. No idea how there are no cards yet.

ShamoBuc · 06-03-2021 10:00PM

Talk about end to end!! Great finish by Morata.

ShamoBuc · 06-03-2021 10:02PM

And a Pen now aswell for Juve, 3-1 Morata again

Some collapse by Lazio

They just don't have the depth to compete with other teams at this stage of the season.

That said, I don't really think this is a collapse. They were doing well the first half and then got caught a few times.

ShamoBuc · 06-03-2021 10:37PM

Bring on Inter and Atalanta.

Mr.Nice Guy · 07-03-2021 09:29PM

Some exciting results near the foot of the table. Torino look in a lot of trouble and their fixtures don't seem kind.

I think we'll be ok. Playing better now, and a bit screwed yesterday

So much of this is wrong

How so? This is a decent Milan team but far from being where they once were. Inter pulling ahead will prompt them into action. Whatever about Juve being ahead, they were always ahead domestically. Inter going ahead will hurt. Last time Inter went ahead Milan gave a huge push to win the league. Inter winning the title, particularly beating them to open a gap, will hurt. Infact, it's the kick up the hole Milan needed.

And yes, Inter were handed a title that was never their's, and were left with no competition. At least 4 tainted titles to their name. Under Mourinho, they would of won the title regardless of the competition though in fairness. If Inter win the title, there will be big investment in Milan, just wait and see. Milan see Inter as a smaller team in their shadow, they won't tolerate Inter having more titles

ShamoBuc · 08-03-2021 10:01PM

Inter take the lead early in the second half.

kksaints · 08-03-2021 10:43PM

Crucial win for Inter. Got the job done without been too impressive. Not sure why VAR didn't take get the ref to take a look at Bastoni holding at the corner, looked fairly blatant pulling of the Atalanta attacker.

Getting badly hit by Covid-19 hasn't helped them at all. Pity because they were unbeaten in six beforehand. Only takes one win to put pressure on the likes of Benevento, Spezia and Fiorentina though. Wouldn't be surprised to see Benevento get dragged back into the bottom three. No wins in ten and that isn't a strong squad. Big match for them next weekend against Fiorentina. Looks like Crotone and Parma are going down anyway.

Demiral for Juve was always a disaster waiting to happening

Headshot · 09-03-2021 11:43PM

Guys do we think Pirlo position has become untenable?

I think he'll last the season but will be gone in the summer

Only a scudetto can save him. Should go back to managing grapevines I reckon

I'd tend to agree with that. Even a surprise run to the title wouldn't be enough. Squad needs a bit of a rebuild. Lots of expensive midfielders who aren't doing enough, Ronaldo was very poor tonight and does look in decline.

I think they'll be realising how big of a mistake getting rid of Allegri was when they had no intention of properly committing to Sarriball. The problem is who do they bring in if they sack Pirlo?

Wonder would they go back for Allegri

Hard to think of many free agents apart from him. Wonder would they chance someone like Simone Inzaghi maybe.

Wouldn't be a bad option for them, he did get them to 2 CL finals.

That would be really interesting appointment and I feel Inzaghi deserves that top job for the work he's done at Lazio

He has done a great job but I'm not sure their fans would be overly happy with him, not a former player and not won much. Maybe they'ed be happy with him if they don't win the Scudetto this year because that would be the focus next season.

Maybe they could go for someone like Nagelsmann? or even try to tempt Diego Simeone but he'd be difficult to get.

Maybe if they get relegated to Serie B again and they need someone to get them promoted.

breezy1985 · 10-03-2021 12:25AM

How about Zidane

Looks in decline? No he doesn't. He completely relies on the creativity of others to spoon-feed him goals. Always has. When it just doesn't happen, complete inability to get on the ball and make something happen or contribute to general play. He's often been that lethargic when things aren't going well for the team. So he'll continue to score, and when he doesn't, will continue to be completely rubbish for those games. So nothing I would take from tonight shows he's in decline
