What's the scouting report on Napoli? Anybody who's a Serie A fan care to give us some things to watch for in this game?
Hamsik and Cavani are going to be their main players in offense. They're missing a key player that makes their back 3 work, so hopefully that helps us a lot. Bradley is going to have his hands full in the midfield since Napoli play with 5 midfielders. Really need the win today. Inter, Juve, and Fiorentina all lost today, so a win would put Roma at 3rd.
@OfficialASRoma: Napoli-Roma Roma (4-3-3): Goicoechea; Piris, Burdisso, Castan, Balzaretti; Pjanic, De Rossi, Bradley; Lamela, Destro, Totti
Didn't really want to watch this game because I'm also a fan of Napoli. I hope Bradley peforms well today.
I didn't know that Gary Neville spoke Italian.. despite this being on quite late here in Qatar, will try and see this, at least the 1st half...
This is a really big game... Derby del Sole if you didnt know as well. Should be a battle and pretty high scoring.
Italian commentator giving Bradley some of the blame on that goal for sitting back too far and not challenging on the buildup.
Bradley wins the header at midfield, but the ball falls to Napoli, Bradley is at midfield and leaves his feet to try and cut out a pass, but he misses. Napoli then counters with the Napoli player splitting the defense with a pass int he box that is nicely finished outside of hte boot off the GK leg.
Bradley did have a sluggish attempted slide tackle which opened up tons of space and time for Pandev. De Rossi wasn't great either.
I thought the problem was he was too far up and gambled by leaving his feet. At any rate, he needs to play his man tighter. He usually gets better as the match goes on so I expect better play from him 2nd half.
