    Yeah, expecting to stay being the pivotal character of the team because of 1 season is unthinkable...

    Kvara handled it wrong.

    His reaction crossed the line. I watched the match. Simeone made comments recently thay he wanted out but did you see when he and Calzona were speaking before coming on? He had good body language and receptive to his last minute instructions. Here is Napoli's chance for their FINAL fresh start of the season and Kvara did this. Not correct. When Osimhen was removed from the match I was looking to see what kind of reaction he was going to have but his was excellent.

    It was a great season. But he's also had 2/3rds of a season where if he had come in the door playing like this, he'd have Lindstrom's minutes.

    Maybe they need to move him around or something (not that he was effective as CF). For sure for him to go "I played great why are you subbing me" is nuts.

    It sounds like Calzona might give Zielinski a fresh start in the league.

    Kvara is left with too much to do. Was double teamed all night against Barca.

    True, but he did also make some dumb decisions trying to show himself of because he knows the world is watching. We need to give him better working conditions so he knows the chances to show his qualities will come

    That is true, but not exactly objective. Osimhen came back, scored, and he might have thought the coach took him off to rest him.

    Kvara disappointed, and he might have thought he deserved another chance or two to show himself. It is a wrong attitude, I agree, but the psychology is there.

    Are you sure Osi would have reacted like that, had he been in Kvara's position?

    But Kvara's attitude also shows he is too centered on himself, trying to shine individually. He needs to learn to understand that sts it is better to just play like another cog in the wheel. Not even Maradona was the star of the show every game.

    Kvara is turning into Milos Krasic.

    Holding shape, changing speeds, defend en masse. Much better so far

    I don't like the way Meret came down on that shoulder.

    Z has been good, Lobotka not so great. Mazzochi needs to work on where he puts his clearances.

    Ha, the linesman is also drunk, that was no corner there. So far, we lack precision especially. The only player whose passing I approve of today is Meret.

    My thoughts exactly, Ziel is the only player in the midfield that shows some hope. Lobotka needs to either step the ******** up, or step the fck off this game. He misplaced some easy passes there.

    Raspa is getting manhandled. I wonder if he could gain like ten kilo over the summer.

    Rapsadori and Osimhen! He saw Politano on the sideline and had to get a hit in.

    Osi showed positioning worthy of a top striker, but Raspa showed the tenacity that we needed. Now they will have to open up, finally.

    Politano for Kvara. Interesting

    Wow!

    Zito Luvumbo ties it up!

    I knew Napoli was in trouble when they hit two consecutive posts on the same play.

    Cagliari have scored late at Home a few times this year. Recalling that thrilling comeback against Frosinone.

    Did Politano screw that shot wide or did Scuffet get fingertips on it?
