Big win by Lazio against Sampdoria, puts some distance now between 5th and 6th, will be an entertaining title race + top four race this season, Italy aided with the new UEFA CL format where top four automatically get into the Champions League.

Is there a more interesting league this season than Serie A? Crazy race for the title so far.

1. Inter 39 pts
2. Napoli 38 pts
3. Juve 37 pts
4. Roma 34 pts
5. Lazio 32 pts

With Roma and Lazio having each a game in hand.

Indeed. Definitely the most compelling of the big 5 leagues this year as far as competitiveness is concerned, even though it Serie A is shunned by 90% of the soccer aficionados around these parts.

Alex Sandro as well. Not sure what’s the deal with Dybala but Sandro looks to be having a drift with Allegri.

Juve needs both players on the pitch though because it isn’t looking too pretty.

Juve dominated but couldn’t score. Allegri with mind boggling decisions. Dybala and Sandro starting on the bench, Dybala coming at the 75th, subbing out Pjanic while being the best player on the pitch, not using Douglas Costa or Bernardeschi at all.

Maybe he is mad, Juve wouldn't let him go to Chelsea this summer?

Dybala will leave. He's always had a rocky relationship with Allegri. This will cause a further issue.

Allegri said that Alex Sandro and Dybala aren't 100% fit and that was the reason they didn't start.

Its funny, I watched a lot of Inter, Juve and Napoli this season and it's quite astonishing what Inter have pulled off so far.
They played Napoli, Juve and Roma away, and got a win (Roma) and 2 draws out of it (Napoli, Juve).
Their fullbacks are ordinary, their midfield (compared to Juve and Napoli) pedestrian with a mix of Borja Valero, Vecino, Brozovic and Gagliardini.
But their forward line is always good for a goal (Candreva, Perisic, Icardi), Handanovic is world class in goal, and Miranda and Skriniar have been absolutely rock solid at the back (especially Skriniar).
Inter fans are calling it 4 musketeers (Spalleti, Perisic, Icardi, Skriniar - with Skriniar being D'Artagnan).

Against the top teams (Roma, Napoli, Juve) they've looked inferior, but never so inferior that you didn't fear them scoring on the counter and then just playing rock solid defensive football.
