Official: Atalanta: Berisha; Toloi, Caldara, Masiello; Hateboer, Cristante, Freuler, Spinazzola; Ilicic; Gomez, Cornelius Napoli: Reina; Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Allan, Jorginho, Zielinski; Callejon, Mertens, Insigne
Tough match so far, as expected. Can Atalanta keep up this pace? I see signs of them slowing down. Forza Napoli!
Hh, you will hate me for this, but our play without Hamsik is disastrous, Chernobyl fades in comparison to this shit. Mertens is so bad that I don't believe it is real, are we awake or is this a dream, a nightmare, to be precise? We need some depth, some calm behavior in the midfield, but I think it's probably Hamsik's job, and Zielinski isn't doing too well.
zielinski is already dead - is he too fat? Hamsik is much better right now. Callejon's touches .... where's the facepalm emoji? He lowkey ruined 3 good situations for us with his first touches Allan is the second coming of ronaldo de lima - because he ventures into the same hopeless dribble tours, the only difference is allan never succeeds Insigne also needs to keep it simpler. Mertens is not playing as well as before but he gets hopeless service
I guess you had considered the situation and decided to rather not comment on the performance of Mertens, the old fart who wants to go to Barcelona.
I love mertens and dont blame him if he wants to go to barcelona here in his later years, he gave the best years of his career to unfairly sit on our bench.
we just beat atalanta, orsato and juventus at the same time... I love var because hamsik was not offside at all
Agreed. But still, there's a huge difference between the fans and the owners of the club. I remember the time when Mertens wasn't playing though he was certainly a better option on the wing than Insigne, and I wanted Mertens to play and Insigne to sit down on the bench. But I get what you mean. I think Sarri said something along the lines of this being normal with the two of them. Insigne is a conceited, coddled prick. In addition, both Sarri and Insigne are Italians. I think it's normal, as this is how Insigne has always been, he is just full of himself.
