Italian Serie A 2022/23
- Thread starter Bepi
- Start date
A poll would be nice at this stage: would you bet a hard-earned tenner on Napoli, Atalanta, Roma, Lazio or Udinese to shock and win Serie A this season? Current odds are: Napoli 3/1, Atalanta 7/1, Roma 10/1, Lazio 25/1, Udinese 50/1.
Great idea. Any mods around?
Udinese grab a late goal to win and stay in touch with Napoli and Atalanta.
Beto and Samardzic are impressive every game they play, don't why they don't start too often

Feels odd to see a team near top of Serie A with half the Watford side that got relegated from prem in 19/20.
Udinese had some brilliant teams in the past, think they finished 3rd in 90s with Oliver Bierhoff and then that late 2000s side of Di Natale, Quagliarella and Alexis Sanchez were regularly pushing for CL/europa.
As for league, I said a few weeks back Atalanta would win it and they're shaping up nicely even if they're not regularly scoring 3-4 goals a game anymore.
Yeah that Di Natale and Sanchez combo made into the CL one time I think. This is not a patch on that side tbh. But there are a couple of interesting young players in Udogie and Samardzic to watch out for.Feels odd to see a team near top of Serie A with half the Watford side that got relegated from prem in 19/20.

You just know any money put on Napoli is going down the drain. They'll bottle it when it really matters, as usual. I don't see Roma maintaining their pace either so its between Milan and Napoli for me with Napoli falling off around gameweek 34 or so. Still think Inter will come back and be competing with those two.
Roma don't actually look any good to me but that's probably just Mourinho sides vs more progressive sides if you're more used to watching the latter.
Difference this season is they're getting points off other top 6 sides, that was big problem for them. No reason why a side with strikeforce of Tammy, Dybala and Belotti can't look to finish perhaps 3rd and win europa league.
Inzaghi is a mediocre manager and there's no way he survives until the end of the season. Can't complain about seeing Inter struggle though, hope they stick to him as long as possible.
Would be great to see Napoli win the league, I'm also fine with Milan taking it again. Leão is a lovely player, does he get benched by Ronaldo in the national team? If the Portuguese prefer CR over him for the World Cup, I can see the loyalty thing and the fact he's a talisman for this team, but it's really a shame Leão doesn't get the stage and recognition he deserves.

Ronaldo should support team and take back stage. It's only elevated his legendary status more. He will still get 20 minutes against tired defense to impact the game.That's my opinion though.
Sassuolo-Inter 3pm
Milan-Juventus 6pm
both away teams leaving the race today!?

Theo is comeback to ours, I hope he performs well in this important match. At least, I can guarantee Theo is better than Balo hahaha.
FORZA Milan

Such a lovely turn from Tomori
Woa Woa!!!

Easily the worsr Juve team since those early years after they came back up to Serie A in 2008-10 period.
Interesting how low they finish.

Was that the years of Krasic and Diego? Highly talented but never did much of note
Juve’s passing skills both short and long are suck, their ball-retention skill and first-touch are also poor too. They couldn’t continue their attack effectively due to their inaccurate passes.
2010 they had Simeone Pepe upfront and Del Piero was pretty much retired but still starting every week, think Del Nieri was manager then.
Went out of europa league in group stages and finished 7th in the league, 24 points off the league winners.
Conte then came in and developed elite mentality pretty much overnight.
Midfield is just so bad. They gambled too much on Pogba coming in and dominating Serie A like he did before he left.
saw Danilo Sandro Kostic and Cuadrado started, that’s two fullbacks and two wingbacks isn’t it?
Vlahovic has looked so poor recently
Yeah Juve has played a lot of games in 4-4-2 during past 2 seasons.Adding letters for fun?
Played a flat 442
feck me Juve are shite. Fair play to Allegri still not being sacked. Also why is Cuadrado such a whingebag, he’s worse than Bruno.
Only their second defeat in the league but feels like so much more. I don’t think they’ll make top 4. Maybe a few barren years coming up
Have to say Locatelli and Vlahovic have been very underwhelming signings so far.
Loca was poor today, he looks so unfit.
Yeah, back to Delneri era with Zaccheroni vibes as well. I am not sure Conte would be able to kickstart a renaissance again because Agnelli is 10 years older and spent, Marotta is at Inter and there are 3 or 4 teams waaaay ahead these days, not only one.
Juve are dogshit.
Lookman scoring again.
Watch him score 20 this season and have Man. United and Chelsea bidding 60m for him end of the season.

Another assist and a penalty won for Kvaradona. Simeone looks like a shrewd signing too. Osihmen hasn't been missed.
Napoli is so fecking good right now, rooting for them.
Wouldn't surprise me if Tuchel replaces Allegri at some point this season (if Juve can afford to axe the latter).
Apparently they can't, I think he'll be safe as long as they're not genuinely relegation level.
Ranieri is whispered to be ready to replace him if we do not win against Maccabi and Torino this coming week.
Interesting, why not tuchel ? he's out of work after all.
The season is (almost) gone and there is no current plan for the future, moreso until the SuperLeague sentence in the coming months which could see us (plus Real Madrid and Barcelona) fined, restrcited or even excluded from UEFA competitions for a while.
I get the feeling in 20 years time, someone like sampdoria or West Brom will hire Ranieri to steady the ship
They can't afford to sack Allegri and you think they have the money for Tuchel?
Feel bad for Roma. Truly fe they had a shot at top 4 but they are getting so unlucky with these injuries.
Gigi, Celik, and now Dybala and before that Zaniolo.
They can’t catch a break
