A very entertaining 0-0.

Frey, the Castrovilli kid did look impressive. Very nice, composed touches in the attacking third, but of course quite raw in terms of end product. Was the third best player after Dalbert and Ribery.

Fiorentina is a very rootable team this season. Hoping Montella can get his old mojo back.

Juventus are a long way away from an all conquering team at the moment. Sarri has his work cut out.

Shame Fiorentina don't have a true striker, could've easily scored a few today. Juve as expected, sloppy and low effort with champions this week.

Napoli on song. Koulibaly just tackled and won the ball in Samp box. Glorious.

Napoli is defending exactly like Milan did in the first two months of last season. Very high risk, committing too many players forward. At some point, Carlo will need to find more balance.

Yes, i agree. It is his first game(s) in Serie A, so it's understandable that he's quite raw. I expect him to develop throughout the season.

Montella said after the match that he could become the new Antognoni.

Sensi has a great appreciation for space and fits the attacking mezz’ala role in their 352 very well. He’s soft defensively though and sort of goes through the motions. But going forward he’s got good playmaking skills and can score.

Inter player touched him first, should be a red for both if any contact since it was clearly provoked... and the fact it was a tap not an actual hard slap.

The sight of Inter machining out a 1-0 win with a Sensi header is unbearable. This too shall pass.

In the match context. He couldn’t move when he was subbed. He was excellent as I say in my next line.

Watch Genoa vs Atalanta. Best way to describe this match is ‘this seasons Atalanta vs Atalanta’.

I love Kouame.

The Luigi Ferraris will be one of the toughest places to come to this season.

Only if you're playing Genoa.

Madness going on at Brescia. Alfredo Donnarumma did what he does and gave them a 2 goal lead and now it’s 3-3 and a man down.

I'm not watching Serie A again if that's a penalty for Roma. Not even our match tonite.
