Serie A 11/12

[deselina]

Lecce-AC Milan is a cracking match. AT HT Lecce were leading 3-0 but Boateng came on the pitch for the start of the second half, 10 minutes gone and he's already found the top corner of the net twice.

After last weekend all I was thinking when seeing how the score had developed was this must be some kind of elaborate match-fixing..

The halftime/fulltime odds and the overs must've been crazy considering how there were practically no goals in Serie A the gamedays before.

If we'd kept him he wouldn't have become the player he is now. He's admitted himself that he thought he'd "made it" after he signed for us and that it was his own fault as much as Ramos' that he didn't make it with us.

Of course, Ramos' treatment of him was pretty shocking, Harry treated him with a bit more respect but the damage was already done.

Agree with this. The guy is on fire but wouldn't have made it with us. Mainly because we wouldn't have found a position for him. At Milan he plays behind 2 strikers with 3 central midfielders. Quite a common system in Serie A but rarely used in England. He's not the normal type of player you'd have as a number 10 but it looks like he's really developed his shooting. Had another great shot as well in that game before he scored his 1st but the keeper saved it. And his goal in the CL was awesome.

Good luck to him, hope he keeps it up.

the logo still has that Nazi eagle. Add in the Roman salute and I'm surprised how UEFA allows this. :-|

Oh come on it's not a Nazi eagle, although they stole and used that symbol....It's originally from the Holy Roman Empire, Napoleon used it and so do the Americans today.

I'm with you on that, but surely you must agree that the Nazi eagle (the pose) is different from the American eagle?

Good game last night between Juve and Fiorentina. Really nice goal by Jovetic but Juve won it 2-1 in the end, Matri is finding his form now.

Looking forward to Napoli v udine tonight, should be a very interesting game.

Another draw for Inter. 8 points from 8 sitting one point above the relegation zone. With Italy only having 3 CL spots for next year, they're really gotta get their shit together if they want CL.

Serie A seems to be on the up again though...about 3 years too late to stop the Germans.

Apparently though he did play there for AC on the weekend, his best position is CM according marcotti and other italian journo's

Udinese's unbeaten run came to an end yesterday and Milan won again and re starting to hit some form.

 

[Partizan]

Juve were fantastic in the first half. working hard pressing with intensity on all areas of the pitch, while passing the ball with patience, purpose and enough movement from the players to cause problems for defenders. Viola stepped up a gear in the second half and caused problems, but in the end the victory was ver much deserved.

Matri scored again and looked sharper than ever. Hopefully he keeps that up as it will be key to our success.

Vucinic scores and puts Juve in the lead against the run of play.

 

[steventhfc]

Inter are so shit at the back. Average age of the squad is surely in the 30's now?

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Inter playing a high line and Juve look like scoring with every attack.

I don't care what anyone says, serie a is not dull and defensive as people like to make out.

 

[tobi]

It's a boring cliché.

Another win for Milan today, away at Roma. The champs are bang on form now.

Cassano suffered a suspected stroke on the plane back from Rome.

 

[mil1lion]

The club have denied it was a stroke. He's recovering well apparently.

Quiet scary really though.

Fuck knows why but I've always quite liked Italian football...same goes for the italian national team.

The linesman robs Osvaldo of a brilliant goal.

Its why position is everything as an AR. Even being slightly out of position can throw off your perspective.
