Italian Serie A 2023/2024

[CoolMan44]

Wins like these will earn you the Scudetto. Not saying Milan will win it. It’s a long season indeed. But we lost points at Meazza against Sassuolo and Bologna.

To be fair, when Milan won their Scudetto 2 years ago, they had the exact same result against Sassuolo and Bologna at the Meazza - lost at home to Sassuolo and tied at home against Bologna.

Not say that it means anything, but football is unpredictable. Essentially, every team has a bunch of wins that 'earn you the Scudetto'. Some people said that about our win at Empoli - faced a team with a new coach, didn't play well, but kept a clean sheet and scored a goal to win the game.

Typically, it's said teams win the Scudetto against the midtable/relegation sides, but not always the case. When Milan won Scudetto over us, it was interestingly due to results against the top teams, not the midtable/bottom sides.

Looking back then, Milan had 21 points against the top 6, while we had 18 points, including Milan having 4/6 points in the direct clash with us. We had better results against the midtable and bottom sides compared to them, but still lost out.

It was well said Milan didn't do shit against Genoa apart from Leoa chance. Pulisic chance was kind of there but wouldn't have been if he didn't play the ball with his bicep.

They get a lucky win, so what? They play like shit a0and in the long run it's not gonna carry them.

Just take it easy people, it's a long season.

They got lucky win here, they got lucky win vs Verona, but it doesn't matter. The 3 points count at the end. This is what is required to become a champion, winning the games where one plays as shit, not dropping points from leading position. Right now, they are looking more competent than us.

Same mantra like in 2021/22 season.

Will they keep getting these lucky wins?

People here are almost losing their shit when we barely win Empoli 0-1.

The question is, will we start winning luckily? I don't think that Empoli win was a fluke. We dominated them for pretty much whole time.

Pioli main weakness is his tactical skills, at the other aspects he clearly can something otherwise you don’t get such young teams to consistently deliver results.

Inzaghi can only deliver results in cups, he just ain’t a very good league coach. For him to ever win a league requires that his bench is nearly as strong as his starting 11 as it would allow him to rotate, a necessity the way he practices his football. The way he play is simply to stamina demanding for 38 game league plus additional CL to be practiced by a thin squad where your overly reliant on the starting 11.

When the players are fully fit, it can beat everyone but its impossible to be so because it’s so demanding on top he has long records of players not showing enough discipline, getting sloppy etc. especially when the form is not at a peak, this been the case in his previous two seasons as well as his spell at Lazio.

Unless we get a sugar daddy who can deliver that squad, Inzaghi is never going to win a Scudetto.

sounds like Conte 2nd version with his 500m transfer funds.

Exactly, this season is going to be a long one. Especially given the lack of attacking quality (or general quality)so the top sides can't just dominate the smaller teams with superstars.

The deciding factors in the title race
will be injuries. And European commitments.

Both us and and Milan are going to struggle to compete on multiple fronts. They can't replace Giroud, or Leao. Probably Theo as well. I'd say the only unreplacable player we have is Lautaro.

Juve will benefit from no Europe, but only have three truly class players in Rabiot, Chielsa, and Vlahovic. They're also one injury in defense away from having to play Rugani.

 

[bubba zanetti]

Lazio started great, looks gassed already, its not a half time yet.

 

[bubba zanetti]

I would love to get Sarri when Limone leaves us. But we need proper owner for something like that.

Sommer and Hakan are also unreplaceable, in my opinion. Hoping these 3 stay injury free for the whole season.

I definitely do not want Sarri at Inter. If Inzaghi is Limone for moaning so much, don't know what's the correct nickname for Sarri. He's a world class moaner.

You might not be surprised who Milan plays next in Serie A.

It's Juve. hoping for a draw

Like I said, only with a proper owners that can splash money and bring players that can fit his formation and style, just like Suning used to do when Conte came.

 

[Besnik]

Sarri is incredibly overrated. I feel like people don't even know what they want anymore. Throwing different scenarios in a weekly basis lol.

We need to be consistent in our thing, and I'm pretty sure we'll get through this shaky period. The most important is that our team is super competitive and we are creating chances. A few minor improvements and our team is unstoppable. It's still only beginning of October, chill and have faith.

Yeah I don't know, I said all this the season they won the Scudetto and they never stopped playing like shit and yet they kept winning.

I don't think it'll happen again this season, mind you, but 7/8 wins is an impressive start for them. Derby ass-kicking aside, obviously.

Milan do what they have to against weaker teams, and that’s what will keep them higher in the table. They seem to be more comfortable playing against midtable sides than we are. We never seem to find the right mentality in these games when the fixture list becomes more dense. Sure we’ll show up for the big matches, but against the weaker sides with some players that can hurt you, nope— we’re already thinking about the next one and if those rumbles are actually the beginning of an earthquake.

BUT. We’re not even a quarter of the way through the season yet. Hopefully we can get the job done against Salzburg so we can focus more on the league while Milan is probably going to be scrapping for UCL/EL.

We need to get Asllani, Frattesi, Augusto, Cuadrado, Klassen integrated as quickly as possible because there needs to be more competition for starts. I would say Sanchez and Arnautovic too but we all know anytime they see the pitch in place of Lautaro or Thuram we’ll be shooting ourselves in the foot… On that note, we absolutely need to address the attack in January.
