Point projections for the 2013/2014 season

[IRR26]

Updated.

Important victory but didn't do much to the projection. No defeats against "not hard" opponents is important and we need to keep it that way. Still the win/draw ratio in those matches is not good enough. That needs to be increased dramatically if we want to even contest for the CL.

At the moment we are so typical fourth position team. Unfortunately fourth don't get the CL place anymore.

We need to hang on till winter brake so close to that third spot that we can and maybe there is a possibility to get some serious re-enforcements. Also even if it doesn't look like it now there can be serious changes in teams forms. Remember how Milan made their comeback last year.

Roma and Napoli surely will have a backfall in this season. And in that moment, we have to make sure we don't lose points.

Either way, we still need heavy reinforcements to keep place 4.

Not much changes, we need to keep up the pace. To have at least 80p projection for winter break would be optimal.

I checked something very disturbing lately didnt know where to put it, guess here would be ok if you dont mind.

These are the last 6 weeks of the league for the top 4 teams right now:

Inter: Sampdoria away, Parma away, Napoli home, Milan away, Lazio home, Chievo away.

juBe: Udiniese away, Bologna home, Sassuolo away, Atalanta home, Roma away, Cagliari home.

Napoli: Lazio home, Udinese away, Inter away, Cagliari home, Samp away, Verona home

Roma: Atalanta home, Fiorintina away, Milan home, Catania away, Juve home, Genoa away

Yellow are relatively easy. Orange is tricky, Red is hard.

So as you see, we have the boldest last 6 weeks ever , followed by Roma who I think will have to prove to be more consistent at the moment to prove that they are scudetto contenders worthy. Then Napoli has a an easier schedule. and unfuckenortunately jube has the easiest one in the world, and not to mention they already have the referees support, then I can easily announce that juBe will win this year`s scudetto without having to suffer any competition.

I mean we dont even have to listen to their phone calls or tape their cellphones, it is really obvious than the summer sun in Africa. they are already crowned as scudetto champions by the figc. and seeing this schedule I think we could consider it as the seal at the bottom of the contract`s papers.

So back to ur CL ambitions, I think if we want to reach the CL, we will have not to drop any more points from the mid season easier games. It`s as simple as that, cause later on when we reach this impossible last stage, this will definitely prove to be decisive when we are forced to drop points.

In the end of the day, I know ther is no such a thing as an easy game or ahard game in Italy, I mean you could beat Napoli and juBe by threes and then draw to Sassuolo and Atalanta both at home ofcourse... I mean if you are Inter or even Roma, teams who play with honor without the help of refs or following any kind of cheatings.

Very interesting indeed. Juves always had Serie A in the bag from the get go. I just hope having Napoli and Lazio at home means we can grab a win or two towards the end. But I think your right. The key is winning the matches out of the top 5.

 

[Devious]

Ofcourse, I`m always right. and dont forget to thank.

Did you get your stimulus half a million in GTA yet?

 

[KaiokenFlash]

It's going to be a nerve racking end to the season. I just hope we have a full got squad by that point as we were paper thin that time last season.

I haven't logged onto gta since I got assassins creed! Have you got your tank?! Tried pm'ing you but your inbox is full

 

[Devious]

Not yet, I'm only 250k short, gona get it sooooon

 

[CafeCordoba]

It's perfectly fine to bring that schedule-conversation here, as long as you keep Juve-referee discussion to somewhere else. Fed up with that subject long time ago.

Unfortunate draw. Perfect place to catch up Napoli after their defeat but no. Projection went down a bit, not up like it should as we're heading to the winter break. 4 games left before that and among them there are Napoli and Milan matches. We need to start snatching points on a regular basis so some heavy performing is needed in the coming weeks. Next two games are absolute must wins.

I'd predict realistic is 6-10 points from the 12 before the winter break. 10 needs performing higher than our standard.

 

[Dylan]

Really disappointed that we didn't take advantage of this easy run of games with a relatively fit squad. Who knows what kind of condition our squad might be in when we face an inevitable hard run of games.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Exactly. This was supposed to be our strong run where we gather good pack of points. So far we've failed drawing three games out of six. That's horrible actually.

 

[Pajo]

Between Roma and Napoli people were saying that we will get 20-24 out of 24 points. I said it's not possible and the maximum we can get is 20, which was highly unlikely. I was expecting 16-18 and would've been happy with it.

So far, we have 12. We need one win and one draw against Sampdoria and Parma, two decent and compact teams to achieve that. If we win both, we get 18 out of 24 in that run. Which is FAR from horrible as some make it to be.

Don't forget it wasn't such an easy run. Atalanta away, Udinese away, Verona's doing great atm... Those are far from easy games. Parma and Sampdoria will be hard as well. Don't forget how unlucky we were against Torino and yesterday.

We are not playing at our best and we are not great yet. Some results have been disappointing. But we are way better than some of you guys make it to be. Shit, terrible, crap and few other adjectives for us.

 

[CafeCordoba]

So far it's horrible, 3/6 wins is just not enough. I'm not saying all those games were easy, I'm saying we should have get better results, easy or not.

Napoli is going to crash out of CL which makes our job harder for the rest of the season to get that CL spot. That's why it would have been super duper important that gather all these points now when Napoli was having busy time in CL and they've dropped some points.

This team is just fucked up. I didn't see the match against Samp, but one can't expect anything else than a victory at home against Sampdoria. I don't care who should be blamed. They all should be blamed.

We are again on a pace for EL season. So disappointed to this miserable team.

 

[.h.]

nothing is going to change until we're rebuilt from top to bottom.

its not individual players that is the issue - though some are. There's a mentality problem. For the last 10+ years we dont play possession football. We dont dominate. We counter attack.

Never thought I'd see us more negative than 3 DMs under Mancini..

 

[KevinB]

Tbh, I said it from the start. 4th place is our max we can handle. We'll have to be very lucky to keep that 4th spot. I don't see Fiorentina, Bbilan keep fucking up. Also, all the occasions we had to link up with the top, we fucked up

 

[Pajo]

We can if we play at our best... And if Mazzarri grows some balls... We played 5-3-1 against Sampdoria at home.

Where were you under the Ranieri "4 DM's, ultra defensive" period?

that was ultra defensive but that was just retardation in desparation. mancini's 3 dms were just how he played.
