Serie A Superthread

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

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

Could have been a handball and a pen.

What an absolute belter, cracker!!

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

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

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.

Bring on Inter and Atalanta.

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

Inter take the lead early in the second half.

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

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.
