Pre-match: Chievo vs Napoli @StadioMarc'AntonioBentegodi

Can anyone tell me why maggio was subbed in? Was rui injured because if not what a stupid decision. And against a chievo playing everyone behind the ball, where is the logic in playing useless callejon instead of someone that can dribble in ounas.
I didn't even know inglese was on the pitch until he was subbed off

 

Rui only had enough to last around 60 mins. inglese playing must have been weird for him cause had he scored his napoli career wouldve been over before it began.

Sarri needs to use Ounas more. today I honestly think Mertens shouldnt have started not callejon.. mertens was just dead today, dead

 

Me neither. But aren’t you just excited? What a coup by ADL. He promised a big name in summer.

 

Both Sarri and ADL are to blame. Sarri should have tried something new.

But we simply have no depth.

Roma are back as well and possibly only 2 points behind us if they beat Sampdoria. Their squad looks better than ours. EDF has surprisingly done very well.

 

Please dela sign Giovinco. or someone like him who can do the job

 

We need two wingbacks and a top striker.

 

Roma's rotation forwards actually score goals whn they play.... Same with Juve
ours dont even play or exist

 

Chievo should be relegated. Disgusted how they play at home. They were just out there for a goalless draw.

 

We have no one other than Ounas who is a young unproven player. It is much more on ADL.

 

I say ******** Europe at this point and focus on the league.

 

Agreed but Sarri can work around that better. Rog can play striker or on the wing, allan and ounas can both play right wing...

today our forwards were useless because of fatigue, despite Insigne fought his best

 

Allan is horrible in dribbling and passing. He cannot be right winger.

Agree Rog and Ounas should have been tested.

But please look at Juve, Roma and Inter subs in attack.

I am going to be honest. I don’t see us as credible title contenders until we buy

1. A top right back (what we all wanted in summer)

2. A top Callejon replacement (what we all wanted in summer)

Look for alternatives to the Milik / Ghollum injuries. But it should not deflect from the fact that we need to very good players on the right.

 

you are describing callejon too

 

12 games (10 wins, 2 draws) and if Roma and Lazio win their games we are only 2 points ahead of fifth which would be Inter.

These games must be won. And we dropped vital points.

Gap in Serie A is too wide to get only 1 point in Verona.

 

So who should replace him if he fails this season?

EDF and Inzaghi won’t leave Rome.

Is Giampaolo going to be better or also provincial?

I have lost faith in Montella.

 

If he leaves? Giampaolo

 

Sarri is going nowhere. He has too much potential. Basically a money-making machine for Dela.

Sarri deserves better players than Maggio and Giak on the bench and better players than Callejon and Hysaj in his starting XI

Allan and Rog are good rotation players with Rog having a lot of potential (he should play more imo). But right now we need a better player than what Allan offers in our starting XI, here I think Milinkovic-Savic, Khedira, Nainggolan and Vecino are just much better - which are our opponents' version of Allan.

 

I know but he won’t get them.

 

And you think Giampaolo is not going to be provincial?

 

Just enjoy how we play. Remember what this team used to be under Rafa? And he even had Mertens and Higuain in his squad in their best age.

 

People want Sarri gone ? jesus christ.... He is probably the best manager we have had since we came back to Serie A....

Though I am worried I am glad Sepe had a good game....

We got to show more or else this season will end with no trophies...

 

I also don’t see who csn do remotely as well.

 

completely agree.

However I think its fair to criticize Sarri and Napoli's season in generel. You say the league will be decided on who is better at beating the lower ranked teams and I partially agree, but here I think we are really lacking and this season alone we have been getting lucky with a couple of the matches - most of the wins only 1-3 players have turned up, others have been due to complete and utter scrappy or random goals. We have problems actually creating big chances against these provincial bus parkers.
We have too many players who dont do fuk all in these matches and you normally shouldnt be able to win the Scudetto like that - what have Callejon or Hysaj (Allan to an extent) ever done/created in games like these? What has Hamsik done this season compared to last season? Short answer = nothing.

I'm just gonna try listing some of our meatings with the shit teams this season

Atalanta, win - we lookeed bad until Zielinski's one in a million volley
SPAL, win - Ghoulam became Messi to save us
Genoa, win - Mertens became Messi to save us
Sassuolo, win - all the goals we scored were unintentional
Chievo, draw - I recall Callejon having a small chance but that's it.

in 5/9 games against shit teams this season we havent even looked very dominant. However we've won 4 and drew 1 of them, but who's to say that'll keep up?
I hate saying this but sometimes when I watch Juve play they just bomb these shit teams with crosses and a billion runs into their box neglecting their own defensive duties, with the way things are looking they won't lose many more points.

Our biggest problem is we try to play like Barcelona (even more than Barcelona do) every match meaning we have to win like them, but instead of having Messi to scrape home the wins that shouldn't have been wins we have..... Callejon. I could name more shit on that right hand side of ours.

Insigne and Mertens are both class players but they cant get you your 90 points by themselves.

My point is we gotta step up - we cant keep expecting to get 3 points out of the blue.

Also Rog and Ounas deserve real chances since they havent gotten any this season, and its not like its Messi and Vidal out there keeping them away from playing time
