The fuck happened to serie A this year. Every team bar juve are beyond shit

Last year the teams where at a much higher level. Napoli Roma were decent. I can't think of a single team that plays attractive football this year.

Atalanta, except when against midtable teams where they flop half the time.

Lazio is also not a must-win. However it's super important to win from a mental point of view and a point of view of having necromancer and Hitchens in the stadium.

Well done SPAL holding Juve from the title until next week where Fiore will gift them the win. SPAL looking a safe bet to stay up now with that win even though there's a lot of teams fighting to get away from 18th.

Bologna are having a good streak under Sinisa. He's a good coach to have around. Maybe not enough for a top team yet, but for lower and middle ones for sure. Kinda like Gasperini.

But if you look at Bologna's roster, they should be performing like Cagliari/Parma/Genoa and not battling for relegation. It's more of a testament of how bad they were under Pippo. Granted it's good to see them come back in Serie A vs. sides like Frosinone or Empoli

Also Napoli.

Will they give the third place?

If we can win our upcoming games and maybe draw Torino/Fiore and they draw Roma, lose Juve/Napoli it can happen. But honestly as long as we finish top 4 I don't care if Inter stay 3rd.

ofc fourth is enough, but it would be very nice to snatch that third place in front of their eyes. Fuck me that derby loss still hurts :(

Don't think so. Juventus game will be pointless (for Juve) if they win against Fiorentina next week.

of course they'll want to win a game like that and they will use all their cheating ways for it just like in our game

If only Empoli can hold on. They look like they can crumble any time but their keeper has been good.

Most of stats dont count blocked shots, this one does.

But still, 35 shots is crazy.

Now for Udinese to do their thing, we need as much breathing room as we can get.
