Yes indeed strategically, the strategy he applies can be read by the opponent, but I think we cannot blame Mourinho entirely, because when viewed from the composition of the players they also do not have a strong squad like the club in Serie A this.
More than that, I don't know what will be the management's decision, whether they will keep Jose Muorinho or vice versa. Both choices have their own risks, if they keep Jose Mourinho until now he has not been able to show his best, even if they prefer to bring in a new coach there is no guarantee that the coach they will bring will be better than Jose Mourinho. I have actually said this several times, yes they must consider everything in making decisions.

We really can't say who is the best team in Serie A this season before seeing who lifts the trophy at the end of the season. But regarding Inter Milan's performance, it is actually quite clear that they have become better and even exceeded their performance last season. Even though Inter Milan released their best goalkeeper last season, namely A. Onana, in fact this still made Inter Milan's defense and Inter Milan's goal still very difficult for opponents to penetrate.

I think this quality is formed as a result of the quality of a great coach that Inter Milan has. Simone Inzaghi can always make Inter Milan's players play comfortably and trigger a player to be able to show their maximum performance.

Mourinho really couldn't keep up with the current football, he couldn't develop and he milked out his past. I don't think he has a chance to coach a big team anymore. This profession is like being a doctor. You need to constantly read and develop, you must not fall behind. This is what happens if you arrogantly say I am the best and do not improve yourself. Clubs such as Roma, Arsenal, Tottenham have not been champions for many years. Now it is time for other similar clubs to change, they need to change the coach and staff. The fact that the same teams are always champions bores the league. If competition increases, the league will be of better quality. By the way, Milan's job is difficult with this football. Regardless of the opponents, weak midfield dominance, limited passing options in attacks, positioning of the midfield seem to be troublesome.

I am amazed by Ac milan recent performance, they are so focused on improving their performance in Serie A this season. Ac milan success in beating Roma was certainly good enough for them because Roma was not a weak team but Ac milan was able to score 3 goals against them. Pioli seems to have succeeded in quelling rumors about his dismissal because he managed to bring 4 wins in the last 5 matches in Serie A. Ac milan has succeeded in reducing the points gap with Juventus who are in second place where they are only 4 points behind.

But to disrupt Inter Milan at the top of the standings, I don't think Ac milan will be able to do it. Ac milan is still far behind Inter Milan, which sits at the top of the standing. Roma seems to continue to experience big problems for them to break into the top 4 rankings because they are not very consistent in their performance. Lukaku appearance was not even very impressive in his first season with Roma, in fact I don't think Roma will make Lukaku status permanent.

Before Inter Milan's convincing win against Monza over the weekend, they were just two points ahead of Juventus abd that goes a long way to tell how close the two teams have been contesting for the Italian Serie A title since the start of the season and should for any reason the Juventus manages to beat Sassuolo tomorrow in their league fixture they'll still go back to just two points behind league leaders Inter Milan.

Inter Milan are playing in the UEFA champions league competition this season and that's why they're doing everything possible to extend their lead at the top of the league standings by a good marginal difference before the return of the UEFA champions league competition in February. Juventus on the other hand aren't playing in Europe and are particularly interested in winning the Italian Serie A so they'll continue to put pressure on Inter Milan till they overtake them. The Italian Serie A is getting more interesting as the weeks go by

Maybe now Inter Milan will still be able to maintain the stability of their game and maintain their best performance in Serie A. But I am curious whether Inter Milan will still be able to maintain their performance in several competitions at once after the Champions League starts again. That is when the round of 16 begins. Because I think when the last 16 of the Champions League starts again, that's when Inter Milan's concentration will really be divided and maybe that's when Juventus should take advantage of this. Namely, Juventus will definitely hope that Inter Milan will waste points in Serie A. And Juventus will try as hard as possible to still get full points. So Juventus might have the opportunity to overtake Inter Milan and replace Inter Milan at the top of the standings.

Because last season Inter Milan's concentration in Serie A began to fade when they went far in the Champions League. So Inter Milan almost had difficulty getting into the top 4 rankings. But in the end, Inter Milan was able to balance things again and managed to enter the top 3 last season. And I feel that this season Inter Milan will really focus more on winning the Champions League title. Because after last season they failed in the final, of course this season they will be more curious to try again in the final.

Juventus has the ambition to win the Scudetto this season. The distance between juventus and Inter Milan is close enough that the competition for title will continue until the end of this season. Juventus will face Sassuolo in the next match which juventus can take advantage of to get 3 points in this match. But in the two previous matches, Sassuolo was able to beat Juventus, so this match was really quite crucial for Juventus. Because if they fail then they will be even further behind Inter milan who are at the top of the standing. Sassuolo are not very strong this season as they have not been very impressive in their performances in the last 5 matches in Serie A.

For Allegri, he thinks that his team will appear confident because they are playing at their home base and are ready to fight to get 3 points. Indeed, sometimes juventus has difficulty being able to bring down the mentality of their opponents quickly because this season Juventus does not have strikers who are productive enough in scoring goals. For Sassuolo, I see that they are determined to find points in this match and it is very likely that they will implement a stronger defense to prevent juventus from breaking into their goal.

This is not only case in Serie A we have things like these in many other leagues mostly after break teams having surprises results, and they are not able to handle things like they needed to do, but this is surely bad draw for the Fiorentina because with this draw now their difference of points with other candidates for the fourth spot is cut, and AC Milan is enjoying good lead at the 3rd spot which is look like now their until end of this season.

Atlanta and Lazio are also giving their best for having better end of the season, but we can't predict about any team to stay at the top with mostly are chock near the end of season and having no chance of recovery like we have Napoli which is consistently going down and having no chance of jumping back at the top.

that is one of the problems, but clearly there are many problems in Napoli
if they lost against Salernitana it would certainly open up very bad scenarios for Mazzarri too, even if it would have been absolutely useless to change coach again if not counterproductive
Unfortunately patience is not a De Laurentiis virtue

As long as the point difference between Inter and Juventus is still very close, Juventus still has a chance to win the Scudetto title and it seems there is no need to wait for Inter to slump, but later when the Champions League match starts again, that's when Inter will experience a little problem in player performance because of course Inter Milan will prioritize the match in champions league and all the main players will compete in the CL and when competing in series A the players will definitely feel tired and not be able to perform optimally.
The most important thing right now is that Juventus just needs to be consistent and physically maintain the players to be able to get 3 points in every match or at least not lose points in every match.
Even though I really want Inter to be in first place until the end of the season to win the Scudetto title, I can't ignore Juventus' performance which is currently very consistent and I also heard that Juventus is trying to get very reliable players this month which means Juventus will be stronger if managed to bring in great players in his attack line.

InterMilan's consistent performance and the potential impact on Juventus' chances for the Scudetto. It's true that the competition is fierce, and a lot can happen in the remaining matches. Allegri's focus on keeping Juventus consistent is most important, and anything can happen in football. Let's stay hopeful and enjoy the journey of the season. Wishing the best for Juventus in the upcoming games!

No problem, we are still far away from scudetto caused by we are still at the middle of season. Im expecting something big to happen soon. Juventus was a strong club and it will not be losing against intermilan easily. The only problem if intermilan will be consistently getting three points. It will give another disaster for the juventus caused by the club must have tried even harder and pray intermilan to lose some points. There is no way for juventus to get into the first spot without seeing intermilan to get some losses in a row.
I can only pray intermilan to lose some points and it will help juventus a lot to be even closer. The only worst scenario if intermilan keep winning the game like napoli last season. it will make juventus has no chance anymore to win scudetto this season.
Im not being pessimistic with the chance owned by juventus but im only realizing the fact that if juventus needs to see intermilan missing some points. The gap is quite big between intermilan and juventus.
Im concerning how consistent intermilan till this time since it was losing against a club last months. Allegri can only tell his players to keep consistent till the end of season. That's the only way to give napoli pressure.

It was obvious that Inter would win, there was no doubt in my mind (to be fair I did had doubts that it would be this big) and I have won an easy bet there, it wasn't a lot of money though, it is not great odds to be fair. In the end, we have managed to see them stay at the top for sure, now it's all on Juventus to keep the chase, they need to get the win so that they could keep chasing.

The difference between them is not a lot, so they could technically keep on making some improvements and could get a lot. I hope that we could get to a point where we could get a win from Juventus as well, we shouldn't really consider the situation to be all that weird, we need to just focus on what we could do on the longer run for sure, betting is great but I think betting on these wins are becoming too easy.

Juventus' chances of becoming champions this season are not that good, because they are competing with Inter Milan, whose progress has been very good this season, appearing consistently, so waiting for their competitor to slip up is an uncertain condition and it might even not happen because Inter Milan certainly won't let it happen the opportunity to become champion was wasted because of unnecessary mistakes.

We see that Inter Milan always play well and every match is important for them, when facing Monza they did not lower the quality of their game but continued to attack even when they were 3-0 up they still kept trying to score goals and managed to win with a score of 5-1 which was getting confirming them as the most productive team this season with a defense that is also as good and quite different from Juventus who have a good defense but their attack is not as productive as Inter Milan.

Bologna was doing impressive work and having chance for staying into top four teams for the long time, but suddenly they are losing their consistency and drooping points quickly which are creating problems for them after beating Atlanta and Roma now they are having trouble to beats teams like Cagliari which is in relegation zone now they are already lost 8 points from their last three games and having more troubling time with next match is against AC Milan which is currently best team in Serie A with their quality and performance.

Now we have one game Atlanta vs Frosinone in case of home team win they will overtake from Bologna, and they will lose their chances for the UEFA competitions in the next season and this could be end of their golden period in this season at the top.

I was quite surprised because after writing the post above, not long after Milan scored the third goal and it ended this big match. Roma couldn't do anything and even though their defense was known to be very strong, they conceded 3 goals against Milan. I think this is a victory that must be consolidated so that there is no draw and Milan did it well.

Experience always proves that at a very critical time it can be something that is really needed by the team and here I really appreciate Giroud for providing an assist to Theo Hernandez for the third goal they scored. On the other hand, Roma must accept the fact that they are still not consistent in Week 20 and must immediately get up if they don't want to fall back to the bottom of the table like at the start of the season.

Juventus' opportunity to win the Scudetto is still very wide open, because there will be a second meeting with Inter Milan and the day after tomorrow there will be a match against Sassuolo. In my opinion, the match against Sassuolo is a revenge mission where at the start of the season Juventus was actually defeated by Sassuolo some time ago. 4-2 when they visit, of course Juventus will not waste this match, because they have found the rhythm of their game this season, although getting back up slowly is very good for Massimiliano Allegri's coach, at least in the middle of the season their focus will be on restoring their former glory. lost several seasons ago from the race for the Serie A title.

Inter Milan's force this season is not highly appreciated compared to last season, but in return, they have perfect chemistry. Losing 3 pillars in the summer of 2023: goalkeeper Andre Onana to Manchester United, Romelu Lukaku not continuing his loan contract from Chelsea, and veteran defender Milan Skriniar. Recently, A double from the duo Hakan Calhanoglu and Lautaro Martinez, plus a goal from Marcus Thuram, helped Inter Milan win 5-1 at Monza, firmly consolidating their leading position in the Serie A rankings. Inter Milan was Halfway gone. Inter Milan has qualified for the Champions League knockout stage from a complex group and is progressing strongly domestically. But it's too early to say Inter Milan is the strongest team in the domestic tournament.
Juventus is pursuing them. Juventus clearly understands that they are not allowed to lose points against Sassuolo. Only then will Juventus have hope of overthrowing Inter Milan this season.

Believe me he cannot leave the African Cup of Nations Competitions for Napoli right now, at this point it's the National Team that comes first. Even if he decides to leave right, lots of clubs are already chasing and trailing the big man for a long time now, this won't be a difficult issue, all he need do Is come to agreement with a club he likes them project. The Afcon is as important as the World Cup for Africans, very important.

They have Khivicha Kvaratskhelia, he can do the work for them!

For Jose Mourinho, there's no way possible he'll stay another year with As Roma, what a awful show last night, no creativity to Lukaku to score was seen.

When discussing Serie A, of course Juventus is king there because they are the most successful team in the title race and have the most titles. Juventus experienced decline only last season and it looks so significant with the case that befell them so they had to experience points deduction.
Juventus is also the most successful team in Italy because its achievements in Serie A and also the UCL can be said to be quite impressive, no team from Italy can surpass Juventus achievements.
In the last few seasons, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli may have been teams that could be at the top and become one of the strongest team, but this season only Inter Milan has the chance to hold off Juventus in the race for the title.
AC Milan cannot yet optimize their performance and beat Inter Milan because they still need lot of changes to be able to make all of that happen.
I sure that this season only Inter Milan and Juventus will have chance of winning the Serie A title.

We all know that AC Milan is on fire but it is still not comparable to the performance that Inter Milan has.
The difference in points between the two alone reaches 9 points and this is very large difference, Inter Milan itself has only had 1 defeat while AC Milan has suffered 4 defeats.
I still think it is impossible for AC Milan to be able to compete with Inter Milan, unless AC Milan can minimize losses and increase wins from the start, then they can have the opportunity.
