Since the start of the season Napoli actually looked convincing by winning in the first and second matches of the season but against Lazio in the third match Napoli lost and until now they are like a team that has lost confidence when competing.
If things like this continue for a long time then it is true that this will be a bad season for Napoli.
Rudi Garcia has to think and do something for the Napoli players so that they can perform well again in the future and if they are still the same maybe Rudi Garcia will be very embarrassed or insulted by all the Napoli fans.

So far in the 2023/24 League season, Mourinho has managed to get 1 win in Serie A and 1 win in the Europa League group phase.
We don't know where Roma will go this season because last season they performed quite well but this season is the opposite but there are still many people who hope that Mourinho can bring Roma achievements this season and hopefully what the fans hope for can come true by Roma and Mourinho.

Juventus actually still looks to be performing quite well even though they have experienced several obstacles.
But to be able to aim for the title it seems difficult for Juventus to get it and to be in the top 3 or runners-up I not really sure they can do it.
In the last few seasons Juventus has really experienced a difficult phase.

I don't know why when I saw Napoli's matches in the last few matches that happened, I actually seemed to see them returning to the same performance as the 2021/22 season when they actually always played well but always failed to be able to get 3 points in every match that was carried out.
This is the 3rd time in a row they can't get 3 points at the start of this season and of course this is not very good for Napoli which if their target is the scudetto target again then results like this must be minimized.
Bologna can compensate for what Napoli did in this match and actually Napoli are only slightly superior and I can say it is comparable when looking at possession but indeed Napoli are very difficult in finishing even though they have several opportunities that are actually very good.

After a brilliant performance from Napoli, i think they really deserved to win the game, but were so unfortunate in the match, i think Kvaratskhelia was too greedy with the pssses and was always targeting to score when he didn't had a clear chance i feel if he's released the ball they would had got a better chance of winning the game, it's too bad they dominated the game but failed to create better chances and win.

 I feel the team is too big for Rudi Garcia to handle, there's alot of negativity ongoing lately and he's no where close to their former coach Spalletti, i think the board needs to go in search of a better option before Garcia sinks the team this season, he doesn’t have a good trophy winning mentality so im not suprise at his inability to handle the situation this season.

Napoli were clearly the better side in their Italian Serie A encounter with Bologna but couldn't convert their chances in that game. It's rare to see a team dominate most part of a game like Napoli did yesterday but still could not find a win.
The result from Napoli's game yesterday, I think it's now very obvious that they wouldn't be having the same kind of campaign they had last season in the the league. Luciano Spalletti's departure from the club after their scudetto triumph last season has indeed affected the team's performance. Rudi Garcia has to find a good playing pattern that'll help the team achieve more good results if he really want to see his team finish the season in the top four position

Napoli's performances have not been strong this season.  They are not able to play well. In 5 matches, the team managed to achieve only 8 points. They have lost points in their last three matches.  And right now the napoli team is in seventh place in the points table. Napoli are 7 points behind Inter Milan at the top of the table. So I would say this team has no chance of winning the title this season.

Mourinho is not able to stabilize the Roma team this season. The team has consistently underperformed. After a 7-0 win against Empoli, they drew the match 1-1 against Torino in the last match. But Lukaku is playing well. If Lukaku's performance is good, the upcoming matches are likely to see better performances from Roma.

Juventus aims to win the title. But the team has lost points in both of the 5 matches. The Juventus team is not weak. Even then the team is not able to maintain the consistency of performance. Juventus is now 5 points behind Inter Milan

There was nothing surprising in last night's match between Torino and Roma, because both teams seemed confused about how to press and there was a lack of creativity on the field. In fact, I even thought that maybe both teams would not be able to score goals against each other in this match. However, Romelu Lukaku thwarted my predictions by scoring Roma's first goal, but not long after Torino managed to equalize with a goal scored by Zapata. But in the end the result was still a draw with only 1 point equal. Even though last week Roma was flooded with praise after a big win and it doesn't seem surprising that last night they failed to get full points again.

Many people predicted that Napoli performance would drop drastically after Spalletti left his post, this prediction was proven correct after seeing Napoli performance this season. Rudi Garcia is increasingly depressed by Napoli current condition, he has only been able to bring Napoli to two wins in the five games that have passed. It will be difficult for Napoli to return to the top four if they don't immediately improve their performance, especially this season the competition in Serie A is increasingly competitive with the good performances shown by other teams.

Mourinho has not been able to make Roma perform well even though he has brought in several new players, Roma performance this season has dropped drastically compared to last season. Mourinho must improve Roma performance to improve their position in the standings. Lukaku is starting to blend into Roma style of play, he has also been able to score goals in the last three matches. Roma's improvement in the front line must be balanced with a strong defensive line, Mourinho must solve the problems in the defense in order to maintain their advantage in the match.

Napoli will find it difficult to defend the trophy this season. Last season they performed quite consistently but this season their competitors Inter and Milan performed better. It's still early days and we don't know what will happen to the teams at the top of the standings. they could lose their consistency, but I hope that doesn't happen and the competition will remain interesting.

while Roma still has quite a shortage in the team. they fell very far in the middle of the standings. they have to fight hard enough to be able to compete at the top of the standings with Milan and Inter.
I think Juventus' performance hasn't changed much, they look consistent from last season.

The draw makes it even more convincing that they will not be able to defend their title unless in the middle of the season Inter Milan or another team that is still in good condition experiences a decline, giving Napoli an opportunity to start chasing it.

AS Roma still haven't managed to win after only being able to get a draw against Torino. Romelu Lukaku gave AS Roma hope, unfortunately they couldn't maintain their lead well and a goal from Torino with 5 minutes remaining in normal time meant they had to be satisfied with just one point and it looks like there hasn't been anything good enough from Roma so far.

I think the problem that is happening at Napoli at the moment is more related to the level of confidence of the players which is slightly decreasing. Like in that match, I saw that V.Osimhen, not as usual, failed to execute the penalty. In fact, the shot deviated quite far from the target. And not only that, V.Osimhen also failed to take advantage of many opportunities in the first half which he usually always makes good use of.

I also think that coaches must be able to keep the players motivated. And it is a coach's job to keep the players confident. I think the cooperation between the Napoli players is still good. And Rudi Garcia can still unite the squad well. It's just that I see the players lack confidence in the game. They lost more accuracy in their shots. Because in fact, Napoli had several opportunities in that match which they could have used to score goals. And if it was Napoli last season then these chances would most likely have been goals.

Napoli was in a good position to win the match 2-0, but they misused their opportunity that made Bologna players to do everything possible to make the match draw which they did at the end of the match 0-0 draw. Many people loss their bet in this match because they made Napoli their favorite team based on their stand in this season but Bologna did what really surprised people from the beginning of the match till the end by not giving chance to Napoli strikers to shine like the way they use to shine in some teams with plenty goals at the end of the match. I think, Napoli manager have to do something fast so that what happened in this match will not repeat itself in their next match because their position has dropped down to 7th position in the Italian league table which is not giving their fans joy.

Napoli this season is indeed a different Napoli when it was still coached by Luciano Spalletti. Last season, Osimhen may have been in peak condition, but this season, Osimhen seems to be starting to show a decline in his sharpness in scoring goals. I think the role of a coach really influences the quality of a player. Maybe this has something to do with how adept a coach is at cultivating motivation in the players he trains. And we know Luciano Spalletti is a pretty kind coach. He always appreciates the players even if they play badly. So the player feels he has to do better so as not to disappoint the coach who continues to treat him well. The point is that a coach must also build good relationships between fellow players and players and coaches as well. And Luciano Spalletti managed to do that.

The coach who has a similar method to Luciano Spalletti is Simone Inzaghi. This can be seen from the Inter Milan players who always look so comfortable when playing on the field. That's the same as the Napoli players when coached by Spalletti.

But I'm not saying Rudi Garcia is bad either. It's just that he came to Napoli at the wrong time. And Spalletti did make the right decision by quitting the coaching profession. Because he realizes that the depth of Napoli's squad will not be as good as last season. Because even several important Napoli players have also left this season. like Kim Min Jae who has always been a strong fortress in Napoli's defense. In essence, this result was quite surprising to me too.

The change of coach experienced by Napoli this season is a factor that cannot be ruled out. Spalletti managed to create a solid strategy for Napoli and Osimhen's on-fire factor last season was the reason Napoli managed to get the title. Big teams such as Inter Milan, Lazio, Atalanta, Juventus and AC Milan experienced inconsistent phases several times last season, so this also affected Napoli's success in winning the championship. Currently, Napoli is under coach Rudi Garcia, he has a tough task to continue Spalletti's success. Unfortunately, his strategy may still need time to adapt. We need to look at the next few games. If by the middle of the season, Napoli has not moved from this slump, I think Napoli will have to immediately look for a new coach.

The current Napoli season is proving to be difficult on a number of levels. Their attacking problems are obvious a lack of originality and underwhelming wingers put a lot of pressure on Osimhen, whose failed penalty only makes matters worse for the squad. The coach is clearly under pressure since continued subpar play could endanger his position before the holiday season. The team's overall troubles are reflected in Kvaratskhelia continuous decline and inability to play entire matches or reach the net, which is a long cry from the previous championship-winning campaign. There is little doubt that the defending champions have a difficult road ahead of them.

I imagine the coach's expression when the own goal was scored by F.Gatti. Massimiliano Allegri must have given F.Gatti a long lecture after the match. 

 I also feel sorry for F.Gatti. Because when he made this mistake we could see the laughing expressions of all the Sassuolo players. But I am quite sure that Massimiliano Allegri will reorganize the Juventus squad and in the next match Juventus must win the match again.
And actually I didn't forget my losing bet. Still it hurts. It's just that I'm quite satisfied with the match. Because I didn't expect Sassuolo to play that well against Juventus.

I was more disappointed with the Napoli vs Bologna match which ended in a draw. And then I felt unhappy with Roma who had to be held to a draw by Torino. Now Napoli is ranked 7th and Roma is ranked 13th. It's quite a big difference if you compare it with the start of last year's season.

In the end, the mistakes are what costs of the match right? If they had not made any mistake, they would have definitely been able to win the match. But at the same time, I have to say they have made some silly mistakes. Those mistakes are not expected from a team like them. And we all know that in the last season, what happened with them was not fair. So everyone is expecting them to take revenge. And of course, everyone is expecting them to perform well and compete for the title. I do believe that it is hard for them. Especially in this season. But they are also capable of doing that.



The result of this match was actually as people predicted in my opinion. And I think the match was made easier for Lecce after Genoa got a red card.

Yeah, Napoli have missed points in the last 3 matches 1 loss 2 draws and they out of the top 4 even 7 points behind, this makes me doubt that Napoli can secure the title this season and for some reason Napoli always have difficulty when playing away. In other matches Roma also drew today winning by 7 goals in the previous match has no impact on this match. We don't know whether Roma really kept players for the Champions League match or whether they were just unlucky.

Napoli was just facing its declining phase after it has been performing so impressive last season. I do believe many people have been predicting it since napoli was resign from the club.
I stop to pick napoli caused by this club is very inconsistent at this moment. There's nothing left since spalletti has gone caused by he was the only one who was able digging all of potentials owned by napoli.

Rudi was a flop. Napoli was signing him is a horrible decision. Defending the title is far harder compared with acquiring it. The time has come for napoli to accept if scudetto may be owned by intermilan this season.
Napoli may keep lose more and more points. You must be careful when picking this. I have been trapped a few times.

Some of my bets were collapsed due to the inconsistent performance from napoli. Napoli is shit now.

Napoli have no differentiating power this season, they only rely on Osimhen which is their mistake. This means that if Osimhen fails to contribute goals in every match then they don't have players who have the skill level to complete attacks into goals. Like AC Milan, they have several quality stickers and this makes it easier for Pioli to make promising rotations in every match. However, there are times when a team experiences a major setback and perhaps that is what Napoli is feeling.

But they shouldn't drag on in conditions like this where they have to immediately get up and catch up with the team above them. More aggressive competition is not visible for now, maybe we have to wait for them to finish the first half of the season and will see more competitive competition for them in the second half of the season.
