-snip-s Milan need to improve a few more players who can help them score goals. Ibra is good, but he is too old to count on every match.
That's true, for ability no one doubts it but age will be an obstacle to always look good and contribute to the team, especially for these two weeks it will be a busy week 3 league matches and 1 UCL game, Milan need players that's always fit to win the match, especially for UCL they play an important match to keep opening the chance to the next round.

Weakness from Juventus right now on midfielder position and I think they need new midfielder how to give service for Morata or Paulo Dybala, after left by Pjanic to Barcelona I think Arthur is not complete and have the same quality with Pjanic, until right now his statistic on Juventus not running well, less assist and goal create by midfielder area make Juventus not become attractive club how to score on every match, always depend on forward at Dybala or Morata.
Juventus have good possession of the ball in every game. but indeed the lack of ball supply to the attackers has made Juventus a little less productive this season. 18 goals from 14 games are not bad, but if you look at the number conceded, there are 16 goals for Juventus. I think the improvement is not only in the midfield which is not strong enough to supply the ball forward. but there is a defense that must also be a focus in the transfer market this season. 
Napoli had a really easy game against Lazio yesterday. Including me, I guess that there were many people who expected Lazio to fight back against Napoli. But Napoli really deserved the big victory. It was like that they literally erased Lazio from the field especially in the second half. Napoli scored three goals in the first half and ended them by scoring another one in the other half. As Milan got a loss against Sassuolo, finally Napoli are ahead of Milan in terms of points too. Napoli have an enormous dominance against Lazio in their near history in home games.
Every one is really surprise by Napoli's league performance this season,as they continue to win games back to back to back,remaining consistent in it.Who could have imagine them flog Lazio to that extent? I only thought the game was going to be a draw,so I decided to play them draw or BTS.
Lazio were out of field completely in the second half as Napoli continue to dominate in possession.It was really a good game for them.

I wonder if Juventus can rehabilitate themselves after their last two losses tomorrow and start scoring? In the other matches I think Atalanta and Verona will win, but there are doubts about Fiorentina or Sampdoria... I think both teams will score and most likely it will be a draw!
Allegri must think to recast the strategy and formation, they were out of the zone champions and euro league. Morata is one person who hasn't better his performance, through the games, he doesn't have the pressure and always lost a ball. he also hasn't scored a goal for a long time, (last in September). I don't know why Allegri very believed him, this is the same situation as MU when Ole still put the player who hasn't the best performance. I'm not sure the management will defend him at this moment.

it would be a disaster if they won't score tomorrow against Salernitana which are at the bottom of the league with the 2nd worse defense conceiding 29 goals in 14 matches, they haveto win that match and not just score, they need the three points to keep close to CL qualifying spot, Europa League is nothing for a team as big as Juventus, the odds for Juve are at 1.36, which is pretty low, i won't bet on Juventus unless Salernitana somehow will score the first goal, the odds for Juve to win would be much better. Sometimes unexpected results happen. I would say Napoli beating Lazio 4-0 was unexpected as well but not the win side, it was the goal difference that was unexpected, I still expected Napoli to win for sure. What we saw with Milan was the real shocking result, nobody expected them to lose but in football there is a saying "ball is round" and anything could happen.
So, I think 3 point difference is not a lot, it could be covered as soon as next week or maybe later so there is really no need for Milan to worry about just yet. However, they have a very old forward line so if this is more about fatigue and how they are getting worse and worse by the end (just like last year) then it is not going to be something simple for them. I think the defense wasn't as good as it should be this game so I do not blame offense here, but let's see how they will react to it next week.
Milan should not worry about the gap from Napoli, but about the recent results that led to this gap. Still, a draw and two defeats in the last three matches of the championship are not the results that should inspire confidence in the final positive outcome of the championship race. In any case, it is not critical yet and it is probably better to lose tournament points now than at the end of the championship, but still these losses can play a role in the battle for the title at the end of the season. Napoli showed the right reaction to a series of not quite successful recent matches and defeated Lazio, showing that the team continues to fight for the championship.

Amazing tour. Milan unexpectedly continued to lose, and Napoli simply destroyed the strong Lazio and became the sole leader. They have now absolutely the best statistics and continue to prove they are in the first place by right. Another team that continues to amaze is Fiorentina - after defeating Milan, they lost to Empoli and continue to be the most uncompromising team: 7 wins, 7 losses 
I didn't expect Napoli to win with a big score against Lazio, this makes Napoli at the top with 3 points ahead of AC Milan. Since AC Milan also surprisingly lost to Sassuolo at home, this is a very bad result, because Inter are now getting closer to AC Milan's points. If AC Milan next game lose points again, they position is likely to be replaced by Inter. Regarding Fiorentina I'm not so surprised if they lose to Empoli, because indeed if they play away they often get bad results, this must be improved from Fiorentina, so they don't often lose points when playing away.With AC Milan losing twice in a row, the competition for the top position of Serie A has become even more interesting. As Inter and Atalanta are
getting closer to AC Milan's points, then AC Milan really has to play more consistently and not lose any more points. Moreover, this week's schedule
for Serie A is quite busy and will play two matches, meaning that it is very possible for a big team to lose. If we look at the next match schedule,
AC Milan is lucky, the next 3 teams facing AC Milan are weak teams, and two of them are in the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Napoli will have
a difficult opponent, one of which is Atalanta. Similarly, Inter will face Roma this week, we'll see which team is the most consistent and there are
likely to be a lot of surprises this week.

the results achieved by the big teams last night were beyond our expectations where Napoli succeeded in slaughtering Lazio and AC Milan had to lose to the Sassuolo mid-table team, especially since they had a 1 goal lead early in the first half and had to lose by a score of 1-3 until 90 minutes ended at the same time making Milan have to be thrown into position 2 standings where the top of the standings was taken over by Napoli who successfully beat Lazio with an unexpected score. have long dominated the top of the standings but had to lose to a weak team Sassuolo sometimes this is football that always gives a surprise that is so felt in a team of the caliber of AC Milan which we know has a very capable squad this season, with these results the Italian league is getting hotter in this season where big teams still have a chance to win the scudetto title this season

Right now leaders Napoli leading against Lazio 3 - 0 after having very good start at home in today' game.

Napoli crushed Lazio by 4-0 at the end of the game. And it was like a dream result for Napoli indeed. I guess that even they didn't expect to defeat Lazio that easy. Something terrible happened to Lazio and started affecting their performance deeply also. They need to gather strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, their bad form can continue on the coming weeks too. Napoli are just dominating the league. Maybe they stumbled against Inter last weekend but they atoned for it quickly.

A surprisingly easy victory was achieved by Napoli's players yesterday. I was convinced that Lazio would be a tougher rival for them. Dries Mertens, who brilliantly replaced the injured Osimhen, proved once again that Napoli can count on him whenever he is needed. Let me remind you that this often underestimated player is the best scorer in the history of the club, in wich played forwards such as Diego Maradona or Edinson Cavani.
mertens is a top tier goal scorer that isn't getting the recognition he deserves mainly because he isn't playing for one of the biggest teams in Europe. While Napoli isn't a mid-bottom place team in the seria A, they're always considered low in the perking order behind Juve, Inter and Milan and most recently, Atalanta. If he were to be in a bigger club, his name would be on everybody's lips.
It looks like it will be a losing streak, but for me Milan has lost its concentration for the last 2 matches even though before it was an unbeaten team and now it's karma if you have to lose 2x with a low team.
Maybe not, Milan will bounce back after these 2 defeats and it is a must for them. Last season Milan also suffered the same fate and ultimately failed to win the title. If this season they lose concentration just because of these 2 defeats then they need to add some new players in the next transfer market.3 goals were scored for Sassuolo before Romagnoli was shown a red card so for me this weakness of Milan has been read by the opponent and it seems very easy for Sassuolo to score 3 goals at home to Milan.
The following days with Genoa all did not become a trap for Milan to lose again.
The red card was also one of the reasons Milan appeared less than satisfactory in that match. I'm sure if one of those players wasn't sent off then Milan could still score even though those 3 goals were before the red card. So since it's still not the middle of the season, Milan need to improve a few more players who can help them score goals. Ibra is good, but he is too old to count on every match. The following days with Genoa all did not become a trap for Milan to lose again.

Yes Napoli has again added up another win to their table record and keeping its top position unshaken. The goals were awesome from the beginning. Those who scored goals, were on point. P Zielinski was awesome and so watchful and when he got the pass he exactly made it. This shows how well he practiced and focused on his performance followed by D Mertens and Fabian Ruiz's shots. And we really need to appriciate Napoli's goal keeper who really saved a goal with his full effort jumping to his up-left and blocking it. Was awesome play.

I really regret the defeat of AC Milan in that game where they should have won 3 points. Sassuolo surprisingly managed to match AC Milan's game where their 3 goals made AC Milan suffer two consecutive defeats. The effect of the defeat against Fiorentina may still not be able to make them rise, so this is very detrimental to AC Milan. 3 goals were scored for Sassuolo before Romagnoli was shown a red card so for me this weakness of Milan has been read by the opponent and it seems very easy for Sassuolo to score 3 goals at home to Milan.

Next match Genoa vs AC Milan. It's time to get back on track.
I wonder if Juventus can rehabilitate themselves after their last two losses tomorrow and start scoring? In the other matches I think Atalanta and Verona will win, but there are doubts about Fiorentina or Sampdoria... I think both teams will score and most likely it will be a draw!
A very disappointing result. It was Milan's home match. Moreover Sassuolo is not a strong team. Even if it was an away match, this match should have been won by Milan. Milan lost at home, and conceded 3 goals. If they want to win the title, they have to play carefully in all the matches. Points cannot be lost against a weaker team.
If you pay attention to the match stats, you probably won't underestimate Sassuolo against Milan. We all believe that Milan had a very good performance in Serie A in the previous 12 match [unbeaten]. But after losing 4-3 to Fiorentina then I think their morale was a little shaken, and that was used by Sossuolo to win the match.From the statistics below I think Sassuolo deserved to win that game. No one is weak if the players can take advantage of good opportunities. Really, this is an unwanted loss.
