So we're playing these cunts ... Bologna vs Napoli Italian Serie A. Date: Saturday, 4 February 2017 Kick-Off: 19:45 UK, Venue: Stadio Renato Dall’Ara (Bologna). Napoli will be looking to get back on track as they travel to take on an inconsistent Bologna side at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara on Saturday evening. The Partenopei suffered a shock result as they failed to pick up all three points against relegation candidates Palermo. Whilst it was not a loss for Maurizio Sarri’s side, it might as well as felt like one. They missed a golden chance to potentially overtake Roma into second and put some pressure on Juventus. And with Inter experiencing a mini-renaissance of sorts, Napoli now have to look over their shoulder as the Nerazzurri are rapidly closing down that gap in the chase for third place. Napoli will want to take advantage of a Bologna side who have struggled to find their best form. The Rossoblu also come into this game having earned a draw, but ill- discipline will cost them two players. In their last game against Cagliari, they saw two men sent off in the latter stages of the game. At home, Roberto Donadoni’s side have been pretty solid, where they have won three out of their last five at this ground. Fortunately for them, Blerim Dzemaili is back from suspension for this tie, as they will need all the help they can get. Meanwhile, the visitors have scored in their past 15 consecutive league fixtures and will be finally likely welcoming back Arkadiusz Milik after his long-term injury lay-off. That will make an already strong attack even more potent, but will Napoli be able to bounce back from a disappointing result against a foe who will be determined to dig in their heels at home? Bologna vs Napoli: Head-to-head statistics Bologna have a record of W5-D5-L10 in their last 20 home games against teams in the top half of the table. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Napoli’s last six road games. The Partenopei have scored at least two goals in their last six games against Bologna across all competitions. Napoli are undefeated in their last 11 Serie A games. The Rossoblu have won only one of their last six Serie A clashes against Napoli (D1, L4). links http://leaguelane.com/bologna-vs-napoli-preview-prediction-0217/
Its funny how quick things change. I said a few weeks back that our midfield is nowhere near world class, now I say is there a better midfield in the world than Zielinski, Hamsik and Diawara? Hamsik has to be the most underrated player in history. Gets no attention but is easily the 5th best player in the world in his position. Hopefully we win a scudetto while he's at the club at some point.
We have to win the scudetto. We're a bit behind but I'm genuinely dreaming now. Mertens has always been good but he's really developed into a world class player. No doubt.
Mertens is undroppable at the moment. Makes you think what will happen when Milik returns, and questions the purchase of Pavoletti (I know he was a stop gap solution but for 13 million he is expected to contribute)
what are u talking about, a RB with an eye for goal and not his teammates even though he'll probably never score a goal is something every team dreams of...
Hysaj is a player with spirit. Nothing more, I would continue to start him as he's the best current option but he is a limited player and slows down attacks.
Yeah he works hard down the right and gets into good supporting positions. He really doesn't offer much else but I don't mind keeping him
if Hysaj is our biggest problem, we dont have a problem. he might ******** up in defence or in attack some times but he never gives away possession which is important for our play
Boggles the mind we couldn't beat Palermo at home after a performance like this. I wouldn't risk Milik unless he's 100%, Mertens is just too hot now. I'm guessing we see Pavo playing with Mertens on the right for the suspended Calle
