The Rumour Commode XXXV: Champions Edition

[brk]

So you're telling me, win the "on the pitch" Scudetto and we're 5/5? Wow.

The quintuple. Sextuple if we win the Coppa Italia.

 

[Wild]

How the fuck is that a foul on KDB

 

[Pingu]

Saelemaekers plays for City?

 

[Swagotelli]

Watching Sassuolo Atalanta highlights - sass could have scored 2-3 more goals. End of cycle for La dea


I like Hamed traore more than Berardi

 

[Samaldinho]

Gabriel Jesus for our RW, plz.

 

[MilanMB]

I wish I hadn't seen MC LIV before watching Milan

What a game

 

[Ryo]

Roma turns it around against Salernitana.
It's time for them to push for that 4th spot.
Napoli and Inter up next. =P

 

[Nalim]

Roma have turned their game around in a matter of minutes. I hope they'll get 4th although they've probably hit form a little too late.

 

[Samaldinho]

City focused on stopping Salah, but he still got a brilliant assist. But even City gambles on stopping the best player, and when Brahim, Messias, and Sales cannot punish teams for focusing on clogging our left side, just having a somewhat viable attacking outlet in our center and right will transform this team. Not even a Leao level talent, but if we had Lozano, Politano, or Ounas as our RW, we would be deadly.

Napoli have great attacking depth, and they have so many interchangeable parts. We don't. Last year we had Hauge, Leao, Rebic. But we need more depth.

That's why I want Kalulu, Botman, Kjaer, Tomori, why I want more players to fight for positions. Players will go in and out of form, keep them hungry, but also, players are human, they have rough patches. KDB went through poor form, it happens. If we keep Rebic, then we need two more attacking players.

Both of the teams will win Serie A by like 30pts margin but just because these 2 are too good doesn’t mean there will be drop off in quality after them? Chelsea and Spur will win this league. West Ham, Ars and even ManU will be title contenders easily. They suck because they play in such a hard league like PL.

You're wrong. West Ham and Arsenal would still struggle to get top 4 in Serie A. Are more than 3 of their players getting into Milan, Napoli, Inter or Juve XI? Only Declan Rice from WH..Odegaard, Saka..who else? Not really sure that Chelsea would walk it either. Spurs wouldn't win it but they'd be in the mix.

 

[Samaldinho]

They should make a midtable and relegation league, so fans can compare which league is best.

 

[LocalHero80]

Salamander will have a good game tonight, fingers crossed.

? Any top 6 clubs in PL will be title contenders in this league.
Any of the bottom 3 clubs in PL will be in top 10 Serie A easily.

Unfortunately, EPL on its own is a Super League and will only get stronger once Newcastle start assembling a powerful team.

We have years to go before we can compete with EPL teams. This years CL final will most likely be between two teams from the Premier League. But we are definitely on the right path.

 

[Pingu]

So, European Super League but additional tiers for midtable and relegation? Can't be worse than Europa Conference League and the likes.

Spurs are so strong they got knocked out of the conference league.

What?

Rice, Bowen, Zouma and Martinelli, Odengaard, Saka, Pepe, Gabriel, White, Rowe easily walk into most top Serie A teams except for us. The intensity of PL teams is hard to match.

Not Spurs fault they have European masterclass coach Conte at the helm.

A top Italian team finished last in their CL group this year.

 

[Samaldinho]

Bentancur and Kulusevski, Serie A bum bench players, are now some of the best players in the league. What a league.

I know. Chelsea and EPL CB flop is now a top CB in Serie A. An English CB bossing in Serie A should tell you just how weak Serie A has become.

 

[Samaldinho]

Bruno Fernandes, Serie A flop with Sampdoria, one of the highest paid players in the EPL--one of their best players in the league, so many goals, so many assists.

Mohamed Salah, couldn't score 20 goals in Serie A, breaking EPL scoring records.

I can do this all day. It's a stupid game.

 

[Pingu]

A top Italian team finished last in their CL group this year.

I wonder why that was?

Oh, yes:

UEFA Suspend VAR Head Not Referee For AC Milan vs Atletico Madrid Debacle

Contrary to earlier reports that both would be suspended.

As if these multiple mistakes hadn't cost us 3 points that very likely would've seen us second (+3 for us, -3 for Altetico)?

But realistically you should tell us how we have won the referee Scudetto this year. Maybe post some YouTube videos.

Stop it already you idiots. We got 1 point from two games against Porto.

 

[beegees]

you can see how mediocre Andrea Belotti is from this game. it's so obvious

 

[Kuroha]

It is just me or Giroud is rarely winning a physical duel? (despite his big size)

 

[Forza AC Milan]

Man Utd played Atalanta for 180 mins and they were evenly matched the whole time. Yeah Man Utd did win one of those games at the end but both teams looked evenly matched the 2 games.

Chelsea I think would win the league by a bit if they were in Serie A and Spurs would compete well and even Arsenal and Man Utd would have a chance (not sure if West Ham would but possible)

At the bottom is where I see issues. But I won’t claim the bottom 3 in EPL would all be too 10 easily in Serie A (that implies the bottom 3 EPL teams are better than Atalanta. If that was the case then all 3 bottom EPL teams would be around 3rd, 4th and 5th positions in Bundesliga too)

This is an example of what overstating things. The bottom 3 EPL teams would not easily finish top 10 in Serie A

 

[MilanBG]

Another garbage performance. The players can't even stop the ball

 

[fray]

We'll dearly regret not pulling the trigger on an attacking investment in January. Every game we've won in Serie A since the window closed has been by 1 goal. The attack is just so toothless, we'll have to get over the line every game by one measly goal.

It really speaks volumes to how shit Diaz, Sael, and Messias are that they can’t do anything with teams focusing on almost completely on the left.
