Imagine if Juve didn't get those dubious PKs against Atalanta, they'd only be 5 pts ahead with 5 games left.

Lazio really some bums though. I'll never expect anything from there again. They could be 20 pts up with 7 games to play and I still wouldn't give them benefit of the doubt.

Inzaghi Jr is a bottler. Remember when they defecated the bed vs Inter on the last day of the season a few years back. He took his main strikers off 2-1 up with 15mins to go. You're playing your main rivals for the spot and it's the last game, didn't make any sense.

Read somewhere yesterday that c*nte wants rid of Eriksen already.

They want 55m for him. But that isn't even the best bit, they want to give Valero a new contract and sign Vidal as well. Players 6 and 8 years older than Eriksen

Serie A =

MLS with a bigger budget (?) and more exposure, hasn't been relevant since 2010. Juve have been at their worst and are still 7 points clear, I hope Atalanta with their fukkery can bring the Scudetto to Bergamo next season.

In all seriousness Inter are just a Italian Everton and vice versa, buying 100 players and realising most of them don't cut it which leads to selling them or loaning them out the next season.

Serie A is only because Italians are arrogant and think their way is still the best way. They refuse to join the other footballing nations into the 21st Century. Their mistrust in anyone under 23 is

Italian arrogance is reason why the country is like third world status. I guarantee that the Mafia could run the country better than the elected corrupt officials have been running it.

didn't he just get there? has conte thought maybe the issue is his formation lol?

His success has been with 3142/3421/343.

Part of the reason why he left Juve in the first place, because he wanted wingers so he could transition the team to a 433, as they struggled in Europe with playing 3 at the back. So when he went to Chelsea, he started with 433, but after getting smashed by Arsenal 3-0, he went back to 3 at the back. And remember Chelsea knew how to play 433/4231, so it wasnt foreign to them, but for whatever reason he couldnt get his message across to make his 433 work. Now the irony is, if he didnt go back to the back 3 and use it as an attacking formation to get the best out of Hazard. It was a tactical innovation that showed the PL that you can be an attacking team with 3 at the back. As most 3/5 at the back up to that point was more inline with what how Rafa played it.

c*nte is still a defensive minded coach at his core. He prefers his teams to score early and then they are able to hit teams on the counter, if they have to chase a game form behind, the team doesnt look as good.

Inter's problem is recruitment, they dont have the players that fit c*nte's system. Also his insistence to play Godin, Skriniar, De Vrij in a back 3 together, when they are all the Central player in a back 3, doesnt help either.

c*nte*

I still remember that game against Citeh where he literally parked the bus for the whole game, it was like he threw that game on purpose, he was lucky they only lost 1-0. Playing Hazard as false 9.

Got to be bullshyt.

Likely true, Shaw and Williams probably wont make it.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Got to be bullshyt.

My first thought is its Palace, hardly known for their free flowing attacking football.

Then I remembered all your left backs are
