    I love our team.

    The best part, there is still room for improvement, specifically at right wing. Other than that, maybe just a Lobotka replacement, but it's difficult to find quality at that role who will be okay competing with Lobotoka.

    You mean like a backup or you would prefer him on the bench?

    Backup for sure. Lobotka is quality, but he can't be allowed to take a penalty again.

    A backup, I love Lobotka I think he's so underrated.

    Stanislav Lobotka is our unsung hero. He's our metronome, I can't believe how little he little he played under Gattuso.

    ^ Ruiz was the conductor back then, so Lobotka was marginalized. The way we play now with the hybrid 2-1/3-man midfield is a thing of beauty. Spalletti didn't try to force Ziely to play as a CM, but has him try no less to help for balance in the midfield, giving us an extra body where it counts. With Ruiz gone, Ziely takes more responsibility when we get on the front foot again to drive the play forward. He is much more direct, which suits our current front men. Before with Insigne, it made more sense to play less direct, keep possession and probe for openings. Now we just run through teams and punch holes through their defense. So we are more direct now, but Lobotka is the regulator. He controls the tempo by pouring cold water when things get too hot both on and off the ball.

    SAOT offside detection from the world cup and champions league goes into service in Serie A starting this stage.

    Lazio was impressive in big games. Interesting that they went up 1-0 at home early on against Napoli and them were totally outplayed and deservedly lost.

    Lazio lost too many points against smaller teams.

    Agree.

    Our biggest problem is RW. Both Politano and Lozano need to be replaced.

    We also need a Lobotka replacement.

    In RB we have to see if Zanoli will return next year.

    Players that will likely be sold in summer are
    1. Osimhen (150M) - I think we will rely on Raspadori and Simeone

    2 and 3. Lozano with one year on his contract and Politano who already wanted to leave. We are linked with Adama Traore but losing Osimhen we better get two quality players

    4. Zielinski who will only be given a new contract if he significantly reduces salary. We have Elmas who can play as Kvara back snd in that position and we may get Samardic from Udinese

    5. Ndombele we will only get if Tottenham reduces price

    6. Demme will leave and we have Gaetano

    7. Rumors of Becao coming for Jesus

    8. Meret could be sold to Tottenham for 30 million and Gollini would take his place

    I hope if we lose Osimhen that we strengthen other areas. Jorginho will be out of contract. Having him and Lobotka compete for that spot would be ideal.

    Wow, Roma should have looked overseas if they couldn't find a decent social media gal at home.

    I don't see it happening but if Napoli blows this opportunity to win the scudetto, it will be their own fault.

    What a goal. The passes by Rui and Kvara were beautiful, and the finish by Osi was exquisite.

    Good half. But the score line can be treacherous. We need MORE GOALS
