Napoli ain't that good tbh.

Well they did beat liverpool in the group stages and should have beaten PSG if it wasnt for that last minute goal by dimaria.

They are not scrubs

And have consistently been the second best team in Serie A last 3 years. they just dont have the financial muscle or mentality to challenge Juventus over the course of the season. The lack of financial muscle hurts the bench and their ability to rotate some key players.

Last game vs Juve they were playing with ten men, but it felt like Juve were the ones down a man :heh:
so i wont scrap them off. saying they arent very good after they went toe to toe with Pool and PSG, and even juve aint nothing to sneeze at.

:mjlol: I been watching Serie A forever, like forever ever. Not a single soul in this thread can tell me anything about Serie A. Secondly your talking about the last 3 years, Napoli have been the 2nd best team in Italy for this whole decade.

Napoli are the Spurs of Italian football. They will find a way to shyt the bed, doesn't matter the competition, they will find a way. CL, EL, Serie A, their catalog of defecating the sheets the last decade is unmatched.

They bought in Ancelotti to win them the league and they've gone backwards.

after this paul scholes debacle, only pundits that have actually won something should be allow to critique. Its getting embarrassing for guys like neville, scholes, henry, shearer and even souness ( all great players ) but all rubbish as managers.they should only critique other players but not the managers or their tactics. managing is another ball game. whats more outrageous is guys like sherwood, and big sam talking shyt like they can do the same.:gucci:

Thats why coaches like Zidane, guardiola, heynches, ancelloti and simoeone are so :wow: its not easy to do it at all.

Italian Tottenham when it matters, if the Gooners can keep it steady in Naples they might go through...if we get a London Derby/Manchester Derby Europa/Champions League final in the same season...the ultimate fukkery :pachaha:


Who am I kidding :bryan:

In fairness to Souness he won some silverware, especially with Blackburn who recently returned to the Premier League that season :yeshrug:

i can keep going bruh stop it. Napoli have not been the second best team in italy for the last 10 years:comeon:

well and if they brought ancelloti to win the league that was a terrible decision. ancelloti record in winning the league specially in italy aint all that hot ( actually is not all that hot period) looking at the teams that he's manage over his career
this nikkas only manage to win the league once WITH THAT MILAN TEAM :hhh:

ONLY THING i agree is the chocking part but i did say that in my previous post:manny:
they dont have the mentality

Man UCL draws are looking tantalizing.

Hopefully we get Herrera, Martial and Rashford back to full fitness by the time it's ready for the first leg against Barca. I do think this is Barca that is beatable. Dembele is also out for a month.

On another note, Valencia CF really has to believe this is their year for some sort of silverware. In the final for CDR, QFs against a struggling Villerreal and will most likely take part in the Spanish Super Cup in 2019.

They're all idiots, only a country like England would prop them up and empower them. Add Carragher to that mix as well. They're all their to whip up the AFTV type fans.

Scholes is particularly mean spirited and biased.

Absolutely not worried about Napoli at all.

Im more pissed that we were drawn for a 2nd leg at home, but UEFA reversed it.

Tbf UEFA did the same thing last round. Plus gave us Lacazette.

Emery is poor away from home, overly cautious and suspect decision making. Need a 3-0/4-1 at home.
