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

Just watch.

 

See?

 

Almost up by 2.

 

Well my relatives in Italy thought they’ed lose by 5 so lol

 

Winning is all that matters in the long run. Especially games like this. They won theirs, we drew ours. Not a big deal in itself, but the frequency is rather worrying in our case.

Corruption. Nothing less.

Im really starting to believe the notion we cant have Napoli winning the scudetto 2 years in a row.

Like they are not even trying to hide it these days.

That offside call right there would have ended the match day had it been a world famous club

 

I agree with you, brother, but this is a gay area, I mean, gray, gray area. They can claim a player can score with the shoulder, and this is closer to the shoulder than the elbow, and that is it.

The people in the comments agree, so the referees even have majority support in this. Nobody even cared to challenge this decision, tbh, because it can be defended so easily

 

Also, I discussed this with GPT, and this is what it had to say after I had challenged its first answer due to the arm argument:

Why it looked like an arm

Broadcast freeze-frames are misleading:

VAR uses 3D limb mapping, not TV angles

The “line” is often drawn from the armpit / upper shoulder, not the elbow or forearm

That makes it look like an arm decision when, legally, it’s judged as shoulder/body

Bottom line

✔️ You are 100% correct in principle

❌ An offside cannot be given for just an arm

✔️ In this case, officials judged that a legal scoring part of the shoulder was offside by a tiny margin

That’s why many fans feel it’s harsh but technically correct — it comes down to millimetres and how the shoulder line is defined.

 

but it wasnt drawn from his armpit though was it? It was further down his arm

 

Lobotka scoring, that's a new one in Napoli shirt. Almost new. I knew he could it for Slovakia, but in Napoli he is not really supposed to even try much.

Jesus has just saved us psychological issues with that wonderful block! Had Buongiorno been there, it would have been a penalty, and perhaps a red card as well.

 

Beukema is struggling against Llorente. Thank God we have Lobotka who can foresee things and came to help Jesus defend.

I refuse to accept the fatigue argument. Lobotka and McTominay have consistently put in the most kilometers per match, and yet they seem to be able to provide excellent or at least decent performances.

Our issue is quality. Most of our signings have either been average or an obvious downgrade, so far.

 

Midfielders sprint less. But also those 2 and anguissa are freaks of nature.

Laurent or whatever his name is is actually a really good player. How does he play for sassuolo lol

 

Its clear conte trains these knobheads to take as little risk as possible, limiting our players.
Its no wonder vergara has been the most noticeable attacking threat.

 

Well, in this game I approve of it. Too much is at stake, and I do not believe this team is without increased risk when taking chances...

 

With two more players down, we are faced with a difficult decision. Should we even try to advance further in the CHL?

 

We are definitely not. We will crash out and go all in on the league.

 

when were we in their end? I must have missed it.

Good thing is we saved resources (by doing bare minimum) and got the 3 points.

Bad thing with the injuries again. We really need players back.

 

Yes, a 100% yes. We need the financial gain.

 

We do, but we would also like to be as far from the risk of losing ChL altogether as we can, I think. And the situation is getting serious, though Juventus made it a bit easier to breathe for us yesterday.

 

So with our injury issues why are we so hell bent in getting rid of Lang ?

 

because unlike lucca he is actually worth something. We have to sell to get new players in this january.

Imo we should keep lang unless its a guaranteed sale close to what we paid.

 

Wait wait we are making all these moves to land Lookman !!!

 

I fukn hope so

 

It’s the only logical thing… he wants out of Bergamo inter fckrd him….
