    Zaccagni was fantastic today. He's gone from a player I've always wanted to overlook to being automatic in the Nazionale callups

    Alfredo Pedullà is reporting that Roberto D'Aversa is the favorite to replace Pioli. From my perspective, D'Aversa has been poor every where he goes. A track record of constant losing. I'm shocked he is the favorite if Alfredo has his sources correct. Scary times for La Viola if that is the case.

    Champions League:

    * Calafiori rides the bench. Thanks Lego hair Arteta.

    * Napoli...everyone's favorite Di Lo, Buongiorno, Politano get the nod.

    Pio and Frattesi get the start vs Carrot Almighty

    Donna goes up against Dortmund

    Ahanor starts against De Zerbi, as does Bellanova

    Tonali is tasked with running the midfield versus Athletic Club.

    So now, we see what happens today.

    And for laughs, Tresoldi starts versus Barca

    The new kit has dropped.

    While I already mentioned I welcome the gold trim once in a while, I really don't like the watermark this time around. The purported leaked kit I posted not too long ago is superior to this one. Should have went with that one.

    Tresoldi. I would pick him over Pio and also get him cap tied. He scored again against Barcelona yesterday:

    Something is horribly horribly wrong in Firenze. And the fact that they are one of the few that plays Italians just makes the matter even worse

    the leak looked better because it was plain. I dont know why these brands cant just leave it be. They obviously pay designers that feel they have to innovate when solid blue simple creat and white shorts are all you need for the classic Italy kit.

    Argentina dosent stray from the baby blue stripes. It works. Italy has had good but odd kits since 2010.

    2008 were the last true classics Even 2006 was trying to do too much. but of course those are classics because we won.

    yeah I still like them best for a good while.
    the diadorra and nike kits managed to have a pattern beneath the blue while still looking classic it cab be done.

    I think Fiorentina will turn it around and end up mid table this season. Pioli is a one dimensional coach that doesn't think outside the box, easily out coached and extremely stubborn. Let's see who they bring in...

    I agree. I think a combination of Pioli being clueless and dropping points early before the schedule got really hard is what caused this.

    He simply got in a jam and was facing a schedule where he could lose or tie every game and he did because he kept tweaking the lineup but not the game plan. All he did was make it worse and kill their confidence.

    Fiorentina were a good side last year with a wonky defence. He nerfed their attack while making the defence worse. Its not the most complicated solution needed now outside lifting the confidence of the players. They have more talent than all of the teams ahead of them and lots of time.

    We can also blame Prade for buying two or three quality players for the same positions and none for the ones that they needed reinforcements for which mustve created a bad sense of inner competition and then pressure on the wings and defence where there was no help.

    He literally said he'd be happy if Gattuso called him, so to me that is not true at all.

    I would be more than happy to cap tie him but I would not take him over Pio. I believe he is on a trajectory for something special.

    When is the last time a top Italian team trusted a 20 year old to start multiple champions league games? i think it says a ton...

    he should be an automatic for the Azzurri. Yes he grew up in Germany but he was born in Italy to an Italian father and argentine italian mother and is a huge milan fan.
