We're back, baby! Does Carlo know what the fvck he's doing? Match Preview: https://www.football-italia.net/SerieA/match/preview/125068 Season Preview: https://www.football-italia.net/SerieA/season/2018-19/preview/Napoli Last season: Lazio 1-4 Napoli Lazio (probable): Strakosha; Luiz Felipe, Acerbi, Radu; Marusic, Parolo, Badelj, Milinkovic-Savic, Durmisi; Luis Alberto, Immobile Suspended: Lulic, Patric, Leiva Napoli (probable): Karnezis; Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Allan, Hamsik, Fabian Ruiz; Callejon, Milik, Insigne Suspended: None
I am going to be very honest. I am very excited but have a nasty feeling. I don’t have the confidence I had last year. Karnezis is a disaster. Worried about defense. I rather Diawara starts over Hamsik. Lazio will own midfield. Mertens on the bench? Hope I am wrong. But can see this go quite badly.
I feel we are back to the Beniez days. Random team selections and no real structure. Anyway hope we win.
Didn't lazio own us in both games last season until Jorginho stepped up and controlled everything? We cannot start this game like the two last season!
Milik has earned a start tbh, insigne has not. I hope Ancelotti will have enough balls to remove insigne and hamsik entitlement bs where they literally can do whatever they want to and still expect to start the next 10 games. Also, Mertens had a long world cup and is 31 so he could be tired
I get the Mertens point but what about Fabian and Verdi? I thought they are both big names. This is all players minus last year bar Jorginho and replacing Reina with Karnezis. Also would have preferred Diawara today. He is more defensive. Hope Ancelotti knows what he is doing.
Last season Napoli conceded 1 goal away from home against top 6. So far Ancelotti's Napoli have conceded 1 in 20 mins and what a laughable one
Find me a manager that can bench insigne and I'll be happy with that. If mertens did what insigne was doing he'd be massacred for it
The problem is Ancelotti. He came here to make money. Said he was happy with the team. We have been horrible.
