I guess that’s what happens when a team sits back and lets Napoli do whatever they want. Kelly needs to be shipped back to England.
Man for man they are better than us from 1-11, even without Lukaku, de Byrne, labotka and anguissa. They have more quality,desire,pace,aggression,intensity and are playing a much higher tempo. I think even our own players must be able to see how much the game slows down every time we get possession. I don’t expect us to get anything tonight against a much better team who have more of everything required to win trophies, but I was hoping for a bit more fight. Need to move Yildiz back over onto the left where he can operate with more space instead of a false 9. Chico needs to be replaced by zhegrova and cambiasso has also been dreadful and I would drop Mckennie back and bring on miretti or Mario. Also need David or Openda up front. We desperately need to make changes at half time as we don’t look like threatening there goal at all.
Shit result from a shit quad and a shit coach. This sums up this team for the past couple years. Spal got it wrong from the beginning.
We lost our shape with to many subs towards the end and taking Yildiz off at 1-1 when the dynamics of the game changed and we were in the ascendancy was a dumb move by spalletti. Three blue shirts waiting to score there second goal. Three blue shirt’s together when mctominay should have put them two up. I seen this 4or5 times throughout the game and we didn’t get amongst them. We were better in the second half and showed a bit more fight but at the end of the day we were beaten by a better team and they deserved the 3 points. Koop and de Gregorio had good games.
Napoli-Juventus 2-1, le pagelle della partita di Serie A TABELLINO E PAGELLE Napoli-Juventus 2-1: sere Neres per Spalletti, Hojlund letale sotto porta - CalcioMercato.it FLOP Cabal 4,5 – Soffre tutto il primo tempo e viene giustamente sostituito. Impossibile prendere Neres Di Gregorio 6 Kalulu 5 Kelly 4,5 Koopmeiners 4,5 Cambiaso 5,5 (Kostic 6) Thuram 5 (Zhegrova s.v.) Locatelli 5 Cabal 4,5 (David 5,5) McKennie 6 Conceicao 5,5 (Miretti 6) Yildiz 6,5 (Openda 6) Spalletti 5
The bigger issue is that Conceicao is looking like a bust; another guy that we spent good money on and missed. That one I didn't see coming. You can see he has talent. However, it's just not affecting the game. He's not a good finisher; and even when he bets his man, there is no one there to score on the assist.
Spalletti conceded in a recent press conference that he got the formation wrong and that Zhegrova will play tomorrow.

They received nothing even… pic.twitter.com/ebMeBlrkZy— JuveFC (@juvefcdotcom) December 10, 2025 The league is a ********ing joke. Napoli fans can throw rocks, break windows on the Juve bus and get zero punishment. Juve gets fined for saying some mean words.
Competed well in the first half but our end product is good enough. Need locatelli on the ball more. He needs to take control of this game with his range of passing and they are playing quite a high line which could give us opportunities in behind. Mckennie causing problems with his late runs. We could win this but have looked a bit sloppy at the back as well .
Take off cambiasso. Can’t even beat the first man with a cross and is giving the ball away to much. Put Koop in midfield for locatelli who isn’t controlling this game and his passing is bad and bring on zhegrova for Chico who isn’t controlling ineffective
