Serie A Superthread

That's Milan's dream of the Scudetto finished but they need to concentrate on a CL spot and that is very worrying with their injuries

Am I the only one wondering how the **** wasnt that a peno for Milan

Mr.Nice Guy

That could prove to be a massive result. Pressure on Milan to beat Napoli now.

Very lucky to win that but some header by Martínez

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

"Milan punching above their weight considering their squad and team. Reputation and history carrying them at the moment, the weight of expectation, so they just about continue to perform above their station. A Napoli or Roma in their position would of wilted long ago"

Milan squad is easily as good as those below so cant see how they are punching. Weight of expectation has been a problem not driver fr this team who have been way better in empty stadia

"They've a good foundation to build off though. They'll be back at Europe's elite soon enough, Inter now have money so Milan will magically find the funds to compete."

Sunning are going bankrupt and Milan are owned by a US hedgefund who will not be inclined to magic up money or blow it just to chase Inter

"Inter have 18 titles, 14 really though. Bar 2010, 4 titles handed to them from 05-09. Still, Milan will pay whatever cost to keep up if Inter get 19. Champions League needs (AC) Milan back. Far poorer place without them"

Not Inters fault Juve cheated. There are no tainted titles Inter topped the league end of

Guys do we think Pirlo position has become untenable?

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

I believe he'll get another year. No body could manage with the injuries etc he has.

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.

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

How about Zidane

Or Pippo

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

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.

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.

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?

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

Demiral for Juve was always a disaster waiting to happening

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

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.
