    Happy New Year!

    Let's end the "coach" discussion and get back to the season. We have the last scheduled fixture for the andata portion of the season to kick off the new year against Bologna (we do have the make up match against Crotone in February) and start the second half at Fiorentina. A tricky schedule where we could max out on points but could also lose some if we take teams too lightly. We also start our campaign in Coppa Italia with a knockout match against Atalanta.

    Serie A
    08 Jan - Bologna
    15 Jan at Fiorentina
    22 Jan - Lazio
    29 Jan at Sassuolo

    Coppa Italia
    11 Jan - Atalanta

    Speaking of Sassuolo, what is up with Berardi? Guy has been out since August with some mystery injury, as whatever he had was not supposed to take 7 months to heal

    Asamoah was not called into the Ghana squad, the only player we'll be missing is Lemina.

    Here's what Transfermarket lists the injury as:

    16/17 Sideband strain in the knee from Aug 28, 2016 through Dec 31, 2016, total 125 days

    Though the internet seems to think its a mental issue:

    Looks like Kwadi will be moving back to wingback if we play with 3.

    With 4 that means Chiellio at LB, Licht a RB..

    Great goal and great ********ing assist by Pjanic! This is why we brought them both here! Hopefully Pjanic understands that we need him to make these plays for us.

    Glad Dybala got the goal, he definitely needed this goal to restore his confidence.

    The only problem I have with this team is that they came to play up until the first goal and then kept playing mediocre until we got that PK, we can't do that in the CL.

    Also we have given away too many balls, too many unforced errors, I'm sure Allegri is going to address this at halftime. Even the fans at the stadium got frustrated with the poor play. It's not okay for a team spending this much amount of money in talent playing so passively. We need to play with the killer mentality like Bayern and Barca.

    Other than that Asamoah is having a good game overall, he knows if he keeps playing like shit he will be shipped out.

    Hopefully in the 2nd half we see our new signing and Pjaca in there.

    His career is done, he is mentally weak and glad we didn't bring him in. He is forever gonna be a provincial player.
