Serie A 2022-23

[gary69]

Lukaku scored barely a minute on his return to Inter, and had another good chance as well, but for most of the match it looked they would have to settle for an away draw with Lecce.

But in the dying seconds Lautaro won a header from a corner and Dumfries directed the ball in the net.

Not the best of halves for Lazio. First having keeper sent off for catching the ball outside of area, and then giving up a penalty, which Arnautovic converted for Bologna.

Romagnoli must think he is still Milan captain, as he is yapping at the ref at every opportunity instead of the real captain Immobile.

Edit: Bologna had a player sent off as well, so Lazio managed to turn it around in the 2nd half.

Another howler for goalie Ionut Radu (he had one last season when playing for Inter), which cost a point for 10-men Cremonese, who had fought valiantly until that moment in the 95th minute.

Radu easily caught the ball (which might have been going wide anyway) and then fell over the line with the ball in his hands.

Radu is a highlight reel for all the worst reasons. He looked like Romania's next starting goalie, but now he's not even selected anymore. No idea how he still gets these starting positions in Serie A. It should also be said he was the main reason Cremonese was even in it till the end, but those blunders, man, he looks like an amateur out there.

the only league that matters is back! Roma really should have stomped but at least they got the 3 points. Zaniolo pisses me off I'd rather sell him for 50m before he tears his ACL for the 6th time.

Went to Italy in June. Told myself I would pick a team in the city I liked the best. I liked Roma the best but am very conflicted about if it’s better to root for Jose Mourinho or a team with Lazio’s….history.

Good 2nd half from Napoli as they beat Verona away 5-2.

Don’t pick Napoli unless you want a lifetime of misery

Looks like deals are closed for Ndombele and Raspadori with Simeone a matter of time and Keylor Navas still on track. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised.

 

[SempreMilan]

Is this dude good?

He's an attacking midfielder, I guess Milan isn't 100% convinced by Brahim yet

He's excellent and versatile. Brahim is only on loan, and yes, he was so so last year. I'd actually like to see Brahim play out wide with CDK playing behind Giroud/ Rebic/ Zlatan.

Yeah, I'd think he wil play a sort of an inside forward for Milan like Leao. If Milan would put him behind the striker in the middle of the pitch, then certainly Milan have no use for both Adli & Diaz (not to mention some other players).

With the Milan strategy, it seems that the best place for a player looking to score or contribute offensively is on the flanks (outside of the more static lesser players on CF spots).

I think he will start in the right forward position.

I think Adli will end up playing a double pivot role.

Pay this man

Milan 3rd kit leak. Gotta say, I dont hate it.

Kvaratskhelia is not going to stay at Napoli for long. So good.

Just scored a beautiful goal. That's three goals and one assist in two games. Kid is insane.

Yup, I’m sure he’ll be the next to make a name and leave. If he can help win at least something though I’ll be happy

If those are the choices you’re down to I’d say Milan as much as it pains me. Atalanta kinda just came out of nowhere last few years and they have a very unique system of developing talent and selling it and starting over essentially. If you’re down for that it’s commendable but might be weird to root for.

Atalanta less boring but also less safe. Go Atalanta.

That’s not it works lol

Nice goal by Bennacer tbh

 

[SempreMilan]

Nice to see Bennacer get one. Disappointing result, but not the end of the world.

 

[gary69]

Milan got better after offensive black holes Rebic and Messias were taken off. Rafael Leao hasn't been on last season's level yet. Giroud and De Ketelaere were out of sync with rest of the team after coming on as subs.

I'd say the best players today were Theo Hernandez and Bennacer.

 

[N o o d l e s]

I love the start from Napoli. The attacking talent has been absolutely brilliant and Raspadori and Simeone haven’t even played yet. Massive but though as the level of competition has been low and I’ve learned not to take any stock in how we start. Need to see how they play against the top tier teams up north.

But a great start is a great start and the season could have very easily been off to a shit start after losing Koulibaly, Mertens, Insigne, Fabian and others

 

[Corto]

2 rounds in, but this is the league to watch in terms of competition. 7-8 teams close to one another, a team could end up 7th or winning Serie A.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Zaniolo just injured himself again.
