Exactly my man, One would think that the game would've swinged that way ( A full time draw ) but Bologna kept them cool and defended like they should to win all three points at home in the presence and support of the home fans who gave them unwavering support until the end of the game.

Nigerian International Ademola Lookman was the major force in that game for Atalanta as he was dangerously causing problems for the defense of bologna. They should bjave scored more than three goals if they had converted the chances they had.
Thiago Motta has really been doing a lot, they be sitting at the first four clubs in the first half. They could qualify for the first four clubs if they get to double up them performance.

It is true that Napoli's condition this season is in very bad condition, because it can be seen from their last 5 matches that they have only won 2 wins. In this match, it was seen that their performance was very poor and they rarely put pressure on Roma's back line and their play was too arrogant, so one of the Napoli players received a red card, giving Roma a big opportunity to score a goal. In my opinion, Napoli played with a lot of emotion in this match so their game was not well coordinated and their attack patterns were chaotic.

If Napoli continues to play with 11 players then ya, it is very likely that this match will end in a 0-0 goalless draw because after all, Napoli also only focus on playing defense in this match . So ya,when Napoli got a red card then Napoli were no longer able to withstand AS Roma's attacks, because AS Roma had good dominance since the first half.

But yes, although AS Roma won but I personally can't say that AS Roma's performance was good because after all, throughout the match also the fact that AS Roma had a better attack . But still, AS Roma failed to score when playing 11 against 11 and but ya, when AS Roma was leading in number of players, then making AS Roma successful to score and win this match with a score of 2-0.

Bologna's victory over Atalanta was also quite surprising because both teams were at the same level and I thought the match would end in a draw. But the result was a narrow 1-0 win for Bologna and indeed home advantage is something that is very profitable for Bologna in this match.

The support from Bologna fans was never-ending and that was what resulted in the only goal being scored in the 86th minute which sealed Bologna's victory at home. In fact, Atalanta wasn't that bad either because they also repeatedly threatened Bologna's goal, but the finishing from their players was still felt to be lacking.

The additional 3 points make Bologna more comfortable sitting in 4th position in the standings, but the difference from Fiorentina is only 1 point, which makes their position in the range of being shifted if they get a draw or defeat in the next match. But as long as they can solidify a win like this, Bologna will be able to stay in their current position for longer.

Napoli management is not in good condition after the departure of a figure who played a very important role in last season's success. Serie A has become unfavorable for Napoli again and they have to admit that they deserve to be in 7th position. In their last match against Roma, for 90 minutes they were only able to make 2 shots on target their performance dropped drastically, there was no aggressive play as usual, Osimhen and Matteo were also given red cards so the empty attack line clearly gave Roma a big advantage in bombarding the defense which had lost the key game.

Napoli is performing so badly this time. I cannot deny the fact that if Napoli remains clueless during the game against Roma, it has a significant impact. The club is also rarely making opportunities. This is the main problem that was also affecting the performance from the club in UCL.
Mezzarri is failed to bring napoli back again to the best performance. There are indications that Napoli may be in the midst of making arrangements for a new coach to take over, potentially replacing the current one. Napoli is always showing a disappointing performance.
Napoli has sent off itself off from the title race. This is the major problem that must be solved by the club.

Martinez seems confident he will be return to play soon and currently he still focusing to recover from his injured and last week even without him Inter Milan can win easily from Lecce but Martinez is Inter Milan goal machine and from total 41 goals during this season Martinez has scores 15 goals which mean almost a half of Inter Milan goals was happened from Martinez so he is important player for this team

Inter Milan this weekend will fight against Genoa and it is confirmed Martinez will not be available and actually Inzaghi doesn't have many options for the front lines because at the squad Inter Milan has 4 players for forward lines total but two of them have gotten injuries Martinez and Sanchez so most likely Thuram will be played along with Marko Arnautovic but this player until now still unable to scored goal and yesterday Arnautovic was played while Inter Milan beat Lecce but i have to say he was performing poorly

I think Inter Milan shouldn't be underestimate Genoa because as mediocre team they were often can make big teams get in trouble and during this season the teams just like Napoli, Roma or Juventus was failed to beat them even Roma have to lose with big scores from them and about the odds Inter Milan has odds @1.60 but i am a bit doubt Inter Milan can able to overcomes Genoa with their condition especially Inter Milan's front lines strength is much reduced without Martinez but for safe bets i think both teams to scores is good

Roma performance in the last two games in Serie A was not very good, previously Jose Mourinho troops were held by Fiorentina 1-1 and then in the next game they were defeated by Bologna 0-2. The victory over Napoli was truly unexpected because Napoli was the team that won the Scudetto last season, apart from that, Roma performance was also not very consistent. Roma not only beat Napoli, they also managed to improve their ranking in the standings by taking the position previously occupied by Napoli.

Napoli must improve their performance in their next match against Monza, while Roma will face Juventus in Turin. Napoli can still move up to sixth place if they beat Monza, while Roma are predicted to experience difficulties in Turin because Juventus have appeared very consistent this season.

Maybe the situation would have been different if Osimhen and Politano had not left the field because they received red cards.
Anyone will give very bad criticism and everyone will say that Napoli this season is not like last season and it normal if this happens because previously I also thought the result of yesterday's match ended in a draw or Napoli won but in fact surprises can always happen in football so we don't need to be surprised by a sad result like this and there are many reasons that make Napoli so bad and I have often said about the causes.
This is one of Mazzarri toughest tests as a new coach, he has faced a very tough challenge, while Osimhen had to miss several matches because he received a red card. Meanwhile, Osimhen is one of the players who can be relied on and in the upcoming match, I am not sure whether Napoli can get additional points, which is certain don't expect too much anymore.
Roma appeared very impressive and in the match against Napoli Lukaku looked very aggressive and produced 1 winning score for Roma and I am sure Mourinho is very proud of this revenge.

Roma was able to create opportunities when Napoli lost 1 Pollitano players in the second half in the attacking line, making Napoli increasingly lose control and unable to balanced the team performance so that Napoli conceded a goal from the home team, the match looked very aggressive, many Roma and Napoli players received cards yellow and Napoli had to lose Oshimen in the 86th minute, after to lose Oshimen Napoli seemed resigned to the situation so that Roma could score more than 1 goals and managed to win.
Napoli seemed to be playing carelessly so they couldn't optimize their performance. This losing really made Napoli worse off.

Napoli are guaranteed to lose as two players receive red cards. Roma scored a goal after the first player received a red card, and Roma scored a second goal after the second player received a red card.  So I think Roma took advantage of this weakness to win. That's why I think the Napoli team is strong because this match will definitely be a very competitive fight. As Napoli team and Roma team compete with less than two players in the team after half time. At the beginning of the game, Napoli went on the attack, so if the Napoli players were correct, the result of this match would have been different.

It is not right to think of it as 2 red cards, the first red card came in the 66th minute. Roma scored the first goal 10 minutes later. Actually, after scoring the first goal, Roma started to feel much more comfortable and I started to think that we would watch another goal. Osimhen received a red card almost at the end of the match. If we had seen such things at the beginning of the match, I'm sure Rome could have scored 3-4 goals. They scored the second goal in the last minute and the match ended with a difference of 2.
It was a great result for Roma

Osimhen's red card might actually be a blessing for Nigeria; he'll miss the next 2 matches but stay fit for Afcon.
Napoli is going through a rough patch with too many defeats in a row. It's high time to reassess things. The players are under performing, with terrible performances and ineffective changes from the manager. Perhaps, bringing in new players and a coach with a different vision of the game is necessary.
The team is not in the best condition, and fans are expressing their frustration, calling the team useless this season. Dealing with these challenges is definitely tough, but finding solutions is crucial to get back on the path of winning.

In fact, these two teams both had previous performances which were not very good in their last few matches, As Roma and Napoli, but it is very clear that in last night's match, Napoli was not at an advantage, in fact two red cards really changed Napoli's game, of course that was in the advantage. In this match, it was the hosts that it was very clear that As Roma dominated the match and continued to apply pressure in the second half, even though there were several incidents that caused Napoli's contrast to break down, tension between the Napoli players and As Roma coach Jose Mourinho on the sidelines and that has become a tradition. Jose Mourinho destroys the concentration of the opposing players of course...

The Napoli team's performance is very bad and the bad results they have had in the last few matches have certainly made the mentality and confidence of the Napoli players quite low at the moment.
The next match against Monza should be a turning point for the Napoli team to change everything because in terms of quality Monza is far below Napoli so the Napoli team can make good use of this to win.
However, Napoli's current problem has arisen, namely the absence of 2 of their important players due to red cards against Roma, which is quite detrimental for the team.

Napoli seemed impatient to get 3 points in this match and they finally lost control against Roma. If only the players' emotions could be more suppressed, it is possible that they would not have experienced such deep losses in that match. But it all happened and now there are only regrets left and I doubt Napoli will be able to return any time soon. Maybe coach Mazzarri should start guiding his players to be better for the next match and avoid the consequences of problems like what happened before.

It's not easy to be in a team that has great prestige as defending champions and in a season that was predicted to be able to make them survive, it ended up being destroyed due to unpreparedness after being left by Spalleti. Well, I can only hope that Napoli will return soon and be able to provide the same performance as last season, even though their chances of retaining the Scudetto this season have disappeared.

Losing 2 players in a match really disrupt their performance in the matches that are carried out.
Indeed,in the Roma match against Napoli in the match that occurred, indeed the biggest chance was a draw but indeed losing Osimhen and Politano in the second half destroyed their conditions which could actually still be a draw for this match.
This is another downfall for Napoli and indeed Mazzari is now experiencing problems should if you see the current situation then indeed he will not be free from the problem of criticism that occur when the match end.
He is expected to be able to bring Napoli performance to a better direction but indeed what is seen  now when the leadership of Rudi Garcia and Mazzari is not too different because the current performance does not really reflect the increase and this will make us even more convinced that Napoli are now out of their zone to defend the Scudetto and they could also be thrown in the top 4 at the end of the season.

What I really regret in that match is V. Osimhen who also received a red card. Losing Politano alone was a big loss for Napoli in that match. But what made me more worried was because Osimhen also received a red card in that match. My worry is Napoli in the next match. Although in the next match Napoli did not have a tough opponent, namely Monza. But still playing without Osimhen and Politano will definitely weaken Napoli in the next match. And it will give Monza the opportunity to make things difficult for Napoli. Because without Osimhen we always see Napoli having difficulty building attacks.

But fortunately in the next match Napoli will play as hosts. And I don't think Monza will be able to beat Napoli. But if Napoli is not in the best condition then a draw could occur in the next match.

Before the game between Roma and Napoli kicked off yesterday,  it's obvious that Napoli were the better team in terms of the general performance of the two teams  since the start of the season as they  were in a better position in the league table ahead of Roma but after Napoli's defeat yesterday,  Roma went two points ahead of them in the league table.

The game was closely contested as the two teams searched for a breakthrough but none couldn't score a goal in the  first half of the match.  It was after Politano got the first red card of the match that Roma began to press the away team more and eventually got a reward for their  pressure in the 76th minute that Lorenzo Pellegrini scored the opener in the game. The result might not have been the same if Victor Osimhen wasn't also sent off late in the game but after he received the second card of the match,  it became obvious that Roma will get a second goal which they did and won the match

Napoli were going through a tough time and this prompted the call up of Mazarri. At his debut game, he did well to win, even though much is expected of him, he just shouldn't be blamed if up until now the team are struggling to be consistent in victories. At least they're not always loosing games. They've got some wins and some losses too.

 Yesterday they played away from home to Roma who are a better side too so definitely it'd have been difficult for them to win although a draw wouldn't have been much of a bad result. But we should note that Mazarri is a new boss, yes we won't give him as much leisure and overlook that'd cause him to be relaxed but technically he's new to the team and he's got to put his players and strategies together. Maybe we'd just give him this last week of the year to implement new strategies before starting to judge accordingly from the second half of the season.
