For me tonight Jorginho has been world class, out best player, he has changed this game and Im one of his biggest critics.
Sarri showing Hysaj just how obsolete he really is. ********ing ******** ******** off to juve. Maggio got a "last man tackle" on Immobile (when we really needed it) which is a rare stat that doesnt happen every match, he also had 7 successful tackles. We need a new right back since hysaj is going to Real Madrid and also back in time to 92 so he can play for the first dream team of Barcelona, hopefully that'll be enough for him to get called up for Spain.
Hh, I didn't want to write anything after the first half, but I kind of had the feeling that we'd win. Hamsik had a very good game tonight, Jorginho was excellent. Insigne could have done better, Mertens too, but the latter has shown some extraordinary skill. I don't get the hate against Hamsik in today's game, he was doing really well, people here were writing that we will score 3 goals if Hamsik goes off, yet we did so with Hamsik in, he assisted one, and almost scored another. Hamsik still not on top, but he's slowly getting there. Allan was good, had his moments, but not exactly great. Callejon scored a goal but he along with Insigne was a much bigger problem than Hamsik in the 1st half. They were both as close to 0 as you can get. Finally a good corner, I could barely believe it! We have a solid team, that's what we have shown tonight, I hope it will last.
We looked incredible in second half. World class. Il Capitano finally picked up his game. Great second half by him. Jorginho world class. I am buying his shirt. He is my favourite player. Rog should start on the weekend and Ounas should be subbed. And ******** off Hysaj.
in my defence lol: to be fair we opened them with a corner, and hamsiks assist came from jorginho passing the ball around 300 times in 1 square meter to open space for the others. Hamsik did well, I just meant we could put more pressure on them with milik in the box, mertens' pace on the left and insigne direct play - nothing against hamsik personally. i was wrong hamsik played a good 2nd half and he was much better than insigne.
The team had a great game.In the first half we were just finding our steps.The second half was faking great.We looked like champions out there,smashing laziali in 5 minutes.Everyone looked good thankfully hamsik too.Keep it up Napoli fack rube,this scudetto is ours.
No player is exempt from criticism. Hamsik and Insigne are kind of the leaders on the pitch, so they need to play like leaders. They weren't bad today, but they are the kind of players that need to help us make the step up - players to rely on when shit hits the fan
Mertens showed why he's world class on that goal. Now you can rest Mertens and a couple of others for a must win against Feyenoord
I don't think Milik would supply our game on the pitch with any pressure, although I would like to see it one day. The game against Lazio was no easy match, we can't always expect to be absolutely stunning, but we do need to score. I believe that Retrosword is right, no player should be exempt from criticism. Yet I have seen enough of human nature, how they behave in these situations, often against their own will as a result of the more passionate portion of the animal within the boundaries of which the mind is contained. Meaning, once they set their eyes on sth that can be criticized, it often happens that the criticism continues even after it's cause has been eliminated. That's how I felt after reading your commentS(not just yours, Sacki) after the 1st half, because I didn't find it reasonable. I agree that Hamsik still wasn't as sure on the ball as we remember him, but he wasn't alone. It's just that some of our players push it to the other extreme of being too ********ing sure on the ball, which is almost always wrong. In Insigne it often results in those shots of a 14 year old girl... Let's not be too certain about anything, Jorgi has it in him but he has not yet convinced me in terms of his ability to play like this consistently. Hamsik used to be able to do it, more or less, but now he has not yet shown it as well. Therefore, the team as a whole still has room for improvement, however, we have gotten quite far. Now we need to work even harder, as I am not quite sure if we would win yesterday without the 4 injuries of Lazio. Inzaghi's probably still pulling his hair out at this hour. PS: Sacki, what does it take for a foreigner to get locked up for about 2 years in your country? I was thinking along the lines of an extended holiday... You know, books, exercise, peace, etc. Mos def. That goal had all the necessary power to make one stand up from his chair, if only he were not too ********ing drunk to do so... And if only he didn't believe that after another drink his state of both the mind and the body would improve.
Hamsik is our captain, in many's eyes our best player, but the fact of the matter is he has been getting outperformed by both jorginho and allan (maybe even zielinski) for too many games lately. It hurts to see him get carried so much, he needs to find form, in fact I think his best game this season was for Slovakia against England at Wembley where he looked like a young Iniesta on a weak'ish team - where the hell is that at Napoli? Insigne is also not quite there compared to last season but I expect two different things from Insigne and a club legend like Hamsik. money laundering for pimps.
I think theres as much pressure on hamsik as there is on insigne because he's neapolitan, the vice-captain and he's the player earning the most in our squad. In terms of quality and significance, I think Mertens consistent showings over the past season and a half has propelled him to the top. I just hate the fact he's 30, lets hope he can play like this for atleast 3 more years (he is surprisingly quick for his age)
