Napoli Serie A 2025/26 Season Thread: Amma faticà, ma cchiù assaje

Weak, again. Is it a coincidence that in SA we are top of the table(albeit with great luck, 2 penalties saved to get 1:0 and 0:0), but in the CHL we get schooled like little kids? Teams like PSV actually can play football, as can other teams from the CHL. SA? 1 shot on goal in 7 games and you can still be top of the table, like, wtf, with 2 penalties against you...

 

The best managers are managing como in this league

 

Como are an incredible side… that’s what having the richest owners in the league and a plan gets you l. Nico Paz will break Serie records when he is sold.

 

Well, seems like overall success depends not on that, but on some kind of inexplicable case of divine luck that happens to stick with some people. Literally no CHANCES. NONE. 2 penalties against, 4 points. Fck, with that kind of luck, Ricky from fckng Trailer Park Boys would have won...

 

Are you Conte's agent or something? Fabregas is just something conte can't and could never deal with: a top manager that plays modern football.

I would sell mctominay and get Paz, while its still possible

 

How does that change the fact that without overall luck, and ret*rded penalty takers, we would have had 1 point instead of 4.

Do not take me wrong, I am glad we got 4, but when optimism makes you blind, you're gay and obnoxious.

I will stand by this even if we win the fckng treble this year...

 

Disagree about Scott, though. If anyone, he can afford to have a few bleak games.

I found Politano trying to be the decisive factor much more difficult to watch. He is a great constant, and he has been great at that, but he is simply not a decisive player.

 

Mctominay is 29, Paz is 21.

We are Napoli, not man city. We cant afford to not try these things. Especially because paz is qrguibly already better. It would be our chance to get a young KDB

 

What I’m saying is Como isn’t a small team it’s a big team pretending to be small.

I would not be surprised to see Como battling for league titles in the next few years. They are run well, have a clear vision, strong player recruitment, and are in it to compete.

Cesc for me to be considered a top manager needs to cut his teeth at another club.

 

This comes with long term planning and actual youth training facilities… which are in the works.

 

So, Conte said this:

“Como played very well, but let’s not forget they also beat Juventus recently,” he replied. “They’re a growing side. If we talk about the result, I don’t remember a save from Vanja. Overall it was a fair result – they had the better first half, but we were stronger in the second.”

Had to make it that big. I remember 1 save from Vanja, pretty much the single biggest chance in football, called a penalty. Not easy to miss that kind of thing, but okay.

But maybe he was talking about Como's gk, because yeah, I do not remember a save there.

 

That, of course, I agree with. I was just saying that I do not want us to be one of those clubs that have zero values, the only real value being business.

Furthermore, from the business side of things, you are forgetting a very important factor: young players will not aspire to actually stay with us. Look at Osimhen, Kvara, etc.

I agree what you are saying, but it ain't that easy. Moreover, why did it occur to you during the game yesterday? The lad has done a lot for Napoli, more than many.

It is tough for me to speak badly towards Politno, but he has been consistently invisible lately, whereas DiLo has been consistently bad lately. Not even average, just bad, detrimental to the team... Whenever DiLo tries to do something surprising, he either does it too slowly, or he surprised the opposing team as well as his own teammates, who would never have even dreamed of the pass or move he had come up with...

 

Because he has been rumoured to Barcelona, tottenham and more EPL clubs.
= monaaayyy
Its not unrealistic Tottenham will pay 90 since they paid around that for less

 

Makes sense. But I kinda doubt he will want to go back to England. He is exactly old enough to know that now he is exactly where he needs to be, especially after what happened at MU.

 

Bologna: Skorupski; Holm, Heggem, Lucumi, Miranda; Ferguson, Pobega; Orsolini, Odgaard, Rowe; Dallinga

Napoli: Milinkovic-Savic; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Buongiorno, Gutierrez; Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay; Politano, Hojlund, Elmas

Time for our attacking players to show something, let's go!

 

Elmas played great im glad he is starting

 

How we can do nothing when theres is so much space to run into is striking.

Does conte understand context? Or does he just pick the exact same tactic no matter who we play

 

It’ll be a 1-0 game we will score at some point…

 

He has been what he is, a mediocre player.
Would rather have Neres or Lang.

How can an attacking midfielder lack so much vision... he is playing with tunnel vision and only looking for his own interest.

If elmas could lose these annoying traits he might actually have been a top player

 

Feels like we would not be able to impress even if Bologna had to replace their whole squad during half-time...

 

We deserve that. Hopefully this can set some urgency into these pu55ies

 

Well that’s what I get for making a prediction lol

 

most boring team ever in football.

 

Lets not attack at 0-0 even though there's a ton of space to attack. Let's attack when we go 1-0 down and they can sit deep.

Conte
