Even as an Atalanta fan I didn't expect it, for me it was a bolt from the blue
this obviously didn't make me angry, I hadn't bet, but it made me think
I'm not angry with my team, it can happen in the end... Atalanta is slowly building for a better future, that's why I like it.

Well, the result of the Atalanta vs Como match was indeed the most surprising so far. especially Como's comeback in the second half really made Atalanta look like they weren't a strong team. Atalanta's defense seemed very weak in the second half of the match. Well, everyone who bet on Atalanta was very upset with the result of the match. Because no one ever imagined they would see Atalanta defeated by a team that had just been promoted to Serie A like Como. Atalanta must not disappoint us again this week. But since the opponent is Bologna for this week then I think I should avoid betting on Atalanta.

I can understand your frustration with Roma’s frequent manager changes.. This instability can be quite frustrating when you feel that the club is not well managed and does not give the coach enough time to build. When a team removes a manager who has just been hired not long ago, it shows impatience; this can be very negative in the long term. Mourinho probably would have stayed longer because of his great track record, but without one, he is likely to meet this same short-term fate.

To compare a coach of any sort with Xabi Alonso is probably unfair to the individual styles and methods each possesses. True, Xabi Alonso is the model that succeeded, but not every young coach can immediately achieve such results. Perhaps, giving a person like De Rossi time would be a more prudent action; he could grow into a more adult coach given the opportunity.

I am one of those since I had bet on Atalanta to win. I didn't expect them to lose to one of the bottom teams in the table.
I was truly shocked and disappointed by this result.
Unfortunately, this is football, and the Italian championship, not surprisingly, is beautiful precisely because you can't predict anything.

Well, Inter Milan has a long story and this club is one of the most successful clubs in Italy. On the whole, at the present time, they are significantly lower than the level they usually demonstrate, although such a situation is rather an exception. The reverse to AC Milan in the derby served as a wake up call that there are some areas that require an urgent overhaul should they have intentions of contending for the title this season.

The match with the Udinese team is very important to determine how far this team is capable to go. This is the time for Inter to prove their stability and assertion. Should they falter it may not be long before other formations seize this opportunity and look forward to the better teams. If Inter Milan want to quickly get back to the winning ways and climb the rankings of the championship – they definitely have a chance for this only with the correct approach and increased effectiveness.

De Rossi really didn't have much time to build the Roma squad at the start of this season. I was also surprised by how quickly the decision was taken by the club to replace De Rossi with another new coach. Maybe from the start Roma did not intend to make De Rossi stay in Rome longer. Although last season Roma looked better when De Rossi came to continue Mourinho's job.  I don't understand. but I hope Ivan Juric as the new coach does not disappoint us.  And I hope the club will no longer rush to change coaches. because it is very rare for a coach to immediately produce good results from his first debut. Especially if it's a young coach.

That is very true because what Atalanta has shown last season and the beginning of this season is clear evidence that they must still be considered a tough opponent and can even be very dangerous in important matches such as the UCL. Even though they lost to Como in the match two days ago, I am also sure that Atalanta will never collapse just like that because this season Atalanta can still make more interesting surprises in more crucial matches and this weekend Atalanta will also be hosted by Bologna at the Stadio Renato Dell'Ara.

Yes, the current Roma management is always in a hurry to make decisions and wants to see instant results from the coaches they bring in. Even though this is clearly very difficult to realize. Because no matter how great a coach is, it definitely takes time to adapt well to the new team he is coaching. Maybe the actions taken by Roma management are almost similar to those taken by Chelsea. In fact, in my opinion, the actions that Roma is taking now can be said to be worse than what Chelsea is doing. because in these two seasons Roma always changed coaches during the ongoing Serie A season. So with this I am sure that Roma will not experience an increase in performance. Because if Roma continues to change coaches without first looking at the process that the coach has built, then it is certain that Roma will experience significant setbacks. But what can you do, now Roma has brought in a new coach, namely Ivan Juric.

I don't know much about Ivan Juric, but basically he has coached several teams in Serie A, such as Torino and Verona. So, if you look at this, you can be sure that Ivan already knows what the football atmosphere is like in Serie A. This is indeed quite good capital for Ivan to coach Roma. However, this alone was not enough to bring Roma back to their best performance. So in essence, Ivan Juric has to work hard to be able to bring Roma back to its best performance. Because if Ivan Juric fails to restore Roma's best performance, I'm sure he will also be fired early like what happened to De Rossi.

Milan have never lost at home against Lecce, it happened once but it was a long time ago in 1997. So, from this reason I think we'll not see AC Milan struggling to get 3 points in their home match. This will also have a positive impact on Fonseca who's doubted as AC Milan manager. Talking about the odds, AC Milan are getting @1,34 to win while Lecce are getting @8,6, the odds are too lopsided between the two teams, it will be easy money for bettors who have AC Milan to win.

Milan played a spectacular comeback game against Inter after a poor start to the season. They managed to beat their arch-rivals Inter with a last minute goal. With this result, Fonseca has taken a deep breath and has reduced some of the criticism on him. They played good football throughout the match. This week they will face Lecce. In the last few weeks, Milan have dominated their opponents with a consistent performance in both offense and defense. They stand out with their controlled and fast offense, especially in the midfield.

Lecce, on the other hand, have a defensive mindset and may struggle to stop Milan's strong attacking line. I think Lecce will look for chances on the counter attacks throughout the match, but will not be able to resist Milan's good play. I think Milan will play a more dominant football with the home advantage and win the match. Maybe we will see a winning streak from Milan from now on.

To be fair when your team is being taken over by the fund that loaned the money to owner, so you are getting this type of huge owner changes, it's clear that you are not going to get a great result from that many games.

Inter is at a very sensitive place, where the fund is looking to sell the team, sure they may end up spending a very little money on it, but they are not going to spend it out of pocket, they will at best make some debt for the team and they are looking to get rid of the team and make a profit from their investment. They weren't even interested in being the owners, they just loaned the money to the owner who just failed to pay the loan back and just went AFK, and now they are the owner without wanting to, which causes Inter to have inner chaos at the team.

Just like AS Roma, Venezia just achieved their first win of the season when they beat Genoa with a score of 2-0. However, on paper, AS Roma is definitely more favored in this match because they are a club that is used to being in crucial places to be able to be in the European competition, while Venezia has the status of a team that has just felt the atmosphere of Serie A due to their success last season in Serie B.
But honestly, right now I still don't fully believe in AS Roma, because they still have problems that have not been resolved. We can see from what they felt in the first 4 matches without a win. However, in this match they should have proven themselves with a win, they will also be playing at home and it would be very embarrassing if they had to lose.

The scudetto is definitely the target for every club in the Seria A this season, we've watched closely how these clubs have fought their way to heighten their position ontop of the table, it have never been an easy one. We've come to realized how competitive Inter Milan have become over these past years and I totally know the odds that's involved. The Seria A is competitive for every potential elite clubs. Inter Milan failed to accumulate three points in Milan derby this week, i consider it setback for the club but they will bounce back since they have one of the these confidence coaches. Simeone Inzaghi will later make changes for his club because he has priorities of upgrading the club's status. Inter Milan spotted 6 position on the table, let's hope they will secured good points for the management and makes the fans happy.

Roma has also turned into a team that changes managers very often and this really disappoints me. I believe they aren't managed well as a whole. There is no patience. They just sack a manager right away after a short time. Mourinho lasted longer than De Rossi though but it must be because of his career. If he didn't have a solid background then I'm pretty sure he would also say goodbye early. 

This can't go on like this. You just can't expect every manager to be like Xabi Alonso.    He is even the only example of his kind. By kind, I mean a young manager. Maybe De Rossi was going to do better in time...

It is undeniable that Intermilan is one of the strong teams in Italy with a long history in the domestic and European leagues so far, but we also cannot deny that their current journey is not something we want to see from a team as big as Intermilan, Intermilan performance is still beyond their best performance at the beginning of this season and if they do not rise immediately then it can make them will be eliminated from the Scudetto this season,  last season they performed quite well in the league and Simone Inzaghi has also been able to develop effective strategies to face the challenge of winning Serie A, but that is exactly what we did not see him at the beginning of this season, so I think the defeat to AC Milan can be used as a benchmark for how Inter Milan has declined compared to their rivals, when a team like Milan who is in a slump is able to destroy Milan in the derby, o course there is a possibility for other teams to beat Inter Milan in the next match.
Tomorrow Intermilan will face Udinese in Serie A and the match will be an important test to see the extent of Intermilan consistency and strength at the moment.  

I would say Inter Milan have the strongest squad in Serie A this season too. But Inter Milan's overall performance so far has been erratic. But I believe this team will make a comeback very quickly. And Inter Milan are fully capable of dominating Serie A.

Torino is now at the top of the table and second place is occupied by Napoli. However, these two teams are only 3 points ahead of Inter Milan. So Inter Milan can regain the top spot in the table if they can continue their winning streak in a few matches. Although Torino is at the top of the table, Torino has drawn two matches out of five matches. No team's performance in Serie A has been consistent.

Last season Inter Milan did win the Italian Serie A title and for this season Inter Milan will also continue to try to get it again even though after five matches played by Inter Milan this season, Inter Milan's position is still outside the top five. And for the next match Inter Milan will also visit Udinese who are currently in third place in the Serie A standings and I am quite sure that Inter Milan can find three points in that match if Udinese do not play very well at their home game.

I don't know, you know, Milan doesn't seem to me to be a stable team at the moment... even if, let's say, I see very few stable teams, even Inter had a failure with their own Milan. We are in a championship phase where the results are much more uncertain than at the beginning.
I'm in trouble for find a good bet.

For Atalanta, the fairytale they wrote in the Europa League last season was impressive. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini and his students overwhelmed Bayer Leverkusen in Dublin with "normal players". With Atalanta, the club's strength does not lie in its strong financial potential, but in coach Gasperini. So I still conclude that, as long as coach Gasperini is there, the club will not collapse. A 0-0 draw with Arsenal in the Champions League group stage showed that Atalanta is still a tough opponent.

I think their drop to 12th place is due to their lack of squad depth. The tight schedule combined with the lack of human resources has left them with no strength to maintain their form. I think they should know their strengths and should focus on one tournament. That way they can improve.

Inter Milan's performance decline only occurred at the beginning of this season and last season they showed quite good performance and I am not surprised by this because we have seen that Inter Milan often struggles at the beginning of the season but slowly they will be able to find their best performance.
At the beginning of last season, Inter Milan's team performance was also like this and Simone Inzaghi managed to solve the problem so I have no doubt that Simone Inzaghi will do it again this season.
Overall, it is not only Inter Milan who are like this, but almost all top Serie A teams often struggle at the beginning of the season or are unable to maintain the consistency of their best performance.
