I dont think I've ever seen more attractive football than what Napoli is playing at the moment. That Hamsik goal move was just 10/10 perfection.

What it could have been had Galliani got Sarri when he wanted him. Silvio's last stupid decision.

I'm not confident we would have gotten him the players that he needs, but man is he an impressive manager

Inda again shithoused their way to another 3 points.
Another unconvincing performance, could have lost vs Benevento easily. 2 times saved by the goalpost today.
They're just as shit as us so far only way luckier

There is a difference. Inter's performances are consistent with that of a new coach changing the team's style. Spalletti is clearly doing that by building from the defence, and he is protecting the defence by holding the ball in the midfield and slowing the pace of the game. You can see that in the performances and results, and the fact that Inter have conceded the least goals in the league.

As the defence gets comfortable in this new system, Spalletti will slowing increase the pace of the game. That will make Inter's attacks more threatening and unpredictable. But clearly the team is not ready right now.

Milan look still a bit confused on what style best suits them. Montella's inexperience is showing, even though he possibly has better individual players than Spalletti.

Anyways, really looking forward to this derby. Both teams should be up for it, there is no better motivator than Derby della Madonnina.

It’s claimed the Chinese government could force Milan’s investors to return around €200m to the country.

Investor Yonghong Li took over the Rossoneri earlier this year, with a loan from U.S. hedge fund Elliott Management to complete the deal.

Part of the reason for that was the difficulty in moving funds out of China, with the government recently cracking down on foreign investment.

The Communist Party will hold its congress on October 18, where it’s expected that new restrictions on foreign investment will be announced.

According to Libero, this is unlikely to affect Inter and their owners Suning Group, but it could complicate things for the Diavolo.

Around €200m, which was invested by the funds Huarong and Haixia, could have to be brought back into China, the newspaper reports.

Li is looking for new investors to share the financial burden, but Milan need to pay back Elliott’s €253m by next October, with €180m of that carrying an interest rate of 11.5 per cent.

If that momey isn't repaid, all or part of the club will transfer to the hedge fund

Juve resting Dybala for this match shows what a joke of a league this is.

Simone Inzaghi is pretty much the boss of this league right now.

And Juventus defence is dire. Granted we haven't benefited from Bonucci yet, but Juve has regressed significantly.

We had the right Inzaghi as a player, but the wrong Inzaghi as the coach

He got the ball. Juve should have been in 10 men. I hate Lazio, but ive had it with Juve getting these calls.

No that was a clear penalty.
