Alright boys so I decided I'd come back with a bit of a bang considering my exam season is just about up and only 2 finals to go but both are easy courses. SO WE PLAY NAZIO. We've been rumoured with acquiring Balde Keita and honestly I'm not sure if that is good or bad considering we may need to sell someone or if ADL decides we will be serious and keep him as a replacement to (oh ya) GIAC. They're really close to us in the table considering we only sit 4 points above them and 6 above Atalanta. We have a really similar final schedule, they have to not only play against us, but they have the Roman derby, play away to Fio, and are at home against Inter. We play away to them, away at Inter and at home vs Fio. So the schedule slightly favours us. Atalanta shouldn't be too much of a concern but considering how their season is going you never know ... their final games are away at Roma which they tend to do well against, and then they host both Juventus and Milan. Of course our goal is to catch Roma so we need to look for the win here. Roma's remaining games are actually quite tricky so we do have hope. They play away at Bologna which is always tough to play against if you are not from Torino or Milan, home to Atalanta which as I stated above plays them well, the roman derby, they are also away to Mlan, and finally home to Juventus. That is potentially 5 games that they may drop points. I'd start us out like this: Reina Hysaj-K2-Chiriches-Ghoulam Allan-Jorginho-Hamsik Callejon-Mertens-Insigne Don't think Milik is ready for an important game like this but if he were to start and either of Insigne/Mertens were to be dropped I wouldn't be surprised as they are all likely to get minutes in this game regardless of whether they start or not. This was how the game was last time out. We created a lot of chances and a Reina error was the reason for them drawing us.
What happened to Tonelli? He was better than I thought the little time he played, just needs to get more comfortable with his passing. Leandrinho is in the squad for the Lazio match. We are the best away team in the league pressure's on them
Pepe Reina is in the squad for Napoli’s trip to Lazio, joined by Brazilian striker Leandrinho, but Lorenzo Tonelli and Emanuele Giaccherini miss out. Leandrinho @Sacki Tonelli is still injured.
He os horrible and makes many mistakes. I hope we get rid of him. Maksimovic, Albiol are fot so is K2.
Last game was his worst game in our shirt, he was a shambles. Mak would probably get the nod over him for a few games
Lazio are without Stefan de Vrij, Senad Lulic and Federico Marchetti, while Lucas Biglia and Ciro Immobile are in doubt against Napoli.
Can't wait for this game. I remember we should've beaten them at home, but Keita scored on a Reina howler for a 1-1 draw. It looks like Felipe Anderson is back on track. I thought he had a poor season last term when ManUre were turning his head. Same way K2 & Ghoul have been off at times this year with all of their transfer speculation. Felipe Anderson is near the top of the league in Assists & Tackles per Game. He tops the league in Dribbles per Game. I'd be much more interested in him than Keita. He could share the right side w/ Callejon. The real question is: Where is Leandrinhoooooooooo ?
Great game. We are patient and dominating. Koulibaly meeds to be careful. Allan is a fighter but he is very limited. I think we should sell him.
Very good performance. We had 10 minutes after the Insigne goal where we struggled. Allan was a monster today. Strinic has been better than Ghollum recently. I am little worried baout Milik.
