Sandro Tonali is by no means overrated. One of Italy’s finest talents.

Tonali needs a lot of space to do his thing.
Need really something we can use right now.

Rabiot is clearly not match fit. The worst on the pitch by far.

Zaniolo just ruined a gilt-edged move after creating it in the first place. Two other players completely free who could have finished.

Palomino misses a sitter of a header.. but 30 seconds later, Duvan buries it. 1-0 Atalanta.

I'm confused by what Fonseca is trying to do. The gameplay doesn't feel all that different from Spalletti's game. Play the channels, commit men forward along the other flank.. maybe he also needs time like Giampaolo does.

Duvan misses the chance to seal it.

Chris Smalling *could* provide some hilariously bad defending moments this season.. looking forward to it.

I didn't even know he signed to Roma. Him and Juan Jesus are sure to take Roma to glory:lol::lol::lol:

What was it about Carlo in Serie A?

His next club should make him eligible to only manage in the Champions League, and not in the league.

Carlo has always been a trash serie a coach. he is made for tournaments.

I believe napoli will reach semis of champions league this year.

He didnt impress in CL neither bar a beast of a squad CL oriented Milan & Real who can have a Zidane & still win 3 CLs.
Coincidence??!!!!
Even before this season begins I said Carlo will fail Napoli....I just know him so well.

This is the worst performing-Juventus team since 2010-11. Including the manager.

Sensi shot deflected off Alexis 1-0.

1 minute later, Sensi through ball banged in by Alexis 2-0.

Sensi is a different level these days.

Oh, yes.

I remember when I had to defend Sensi against commoders in January when there was the prospect of him arriving on loan.

There was never a prospect of him arriving, we was offering a 15m OPTION after a 2 year loan :lol: and Inter got him for 2+25m, go figure.
