News: You’ll NeVAR Whinge Alone - The OTT Thread [R]

That was a beautiful counter attacking team goal from Inter, with some great work from Lukaku, Hakimi, Eriksen and Perisic who laid the ball on a plate for Martinez.
Lots of time left in this one but it's hard to see how Milan can come back at this point...especially with Inter being a big threat on the break (Lukaku should have made it 3).

Game over. Title race all but over now as well? Lukaku makes it 0-3. A superbly taken goal on his part by the way. Inter's counter attacking game has been absolutely on point.

 

More than the obvious meaning for his team and the big picture (in terms of the title race), Lukaku's goal obviously meant a great deal to him personally as well...

It's good to see the two Milan clubs at the top of Serie A again.

 

Just like United though, the unlikely dream for the title is all but over now for Milan. Definitely Inter's title to lose now. The goal now for Milan, above all else, is to make sure they hold on for a CL spot: the chasing pack is not that far off behind.
After missing on that for 8 (!) seasons, it will be a good accomplishment for them.

 

Deja Vu all over again.

 

Rino still very much the psycho...

Only 4 points ahead of Milan with 15 games to go .. if Juventus win their games in hand they will be 5 points behind. Not over at all. Wouldn't be surprised if Juve finishes top again.

 

I'm certainly not pulling for Inter to win but if they fail this year, they're chumps, simple as. They've got the best and deepest squad on paper, the best coach and they've got no European distractions.
Can they choke? Of course they could but there is nothing out of bounds to claim they are the favorites at this juncture and it's their title to lose...

 

We better hope they will have calmed down by March 7th...

Didn't look good when it was reported he had to be stretchered off the pitch. And unfortunately those fears have been confirmed.
It's a blow for the national team (with Morris proving to be a good option out wide). But it is an opportunity now for someone to step up though in the coming WC qualifiers.

😔 Horrible news for 🇺🇸 #USMNT forward Jordan Morris, who has suffered "serious damage" to his ACL while on loan at Swansea City from the Seattle Sounders. Full details ⤵️ #Swans #Sounders #MLS https://t.co/DOAb6GquQ8

That's a damn shame.

 

Gutted for him... I think he could have really made a different for Swansea after getting a few games under his belt. Already had to come back from an ACL once, can he do it again? I sure hope so. His dad is the team doctor for the Sounders so he has a strong support system behind him.

 

I mean they have:
- a top 3 serie A keeper
- a top 3 serie A center back
- The best starting strikers in the league (duo or trio)
- they have more depth than anyone apart from Juve (for example they have Hakimi/Young/Darmian/D'Ambrosio/Perisic) for 2 positions

- They have Brozovic, Barella, Sensi, Eriksen, Gagliardini, Vidal, for midfield. That's better than everyone (maybe even Juve)

- Their coach (as ugly as he and his football is, is very good)

 

Juve's squad imo, its debatable of they have the best squad. Their defense isnt as imperious as before. I never rated Bonucci highly. Chiellini is solid, but aging. De Ligt is young.

Danilo is ass, Alex Sandro is past his peak. Cuadrado isnt a RB imo. An average RWB.

Arthur is good. McKennie is good. Chiesa is good. Everyone else in that midfield is questionable.

Apparently Dybala just cant get right.

 

Betancur and Bernardeschi are players i like. They just seem to not be in favor currently.

Rabiot is good, but i think Barella and Sensi are better right now and they are younger.

I like the Swede but he has to keep developing.

Dybala? Seems like he's a dead ting! Not getting along with management?! Just heard rumors.
