In my opinion Rudi Garcia was never a great coach as he never made it big into Europe and now that is gone from Napoli , my faith in this team is restored once again and I do hope they will have a decent run in UCL and maybe with a bit of luck they can hold top 4 in Serie A as well because finishing under 4th as ex champions doesn't look good at all.

However, Rudi Garcia ever won a trophy with LOSC Lille. It was a proof that Rudi Garcia has the quality as a coach. If he failed to maintain the performance of Napoli, he may be not suitable to manage Napoli. For UCL, Rudi Garcia surely has no good experience, he is not the right coach for any team to target for UCL title. I also think Mazzarri not a very suitable to manage Napoli. I doubt if Mazzarri will stay a long time in Napoli.

Inter are different from all of other top teams left in the Serie A though. But they still shouldn't have any luxury to underestimate them or shouldn't play complacently against them. As the game is an away one too things can just get harder for Inter for no reason in case of doing that.

Inter Milan performed well during this season, they are in a good form. No doubt if Inter Milan is the favorite team to win Scudetto. Sure, Inter Milan mustn't underestimate other teams in Serie A, it will bring bad impacts for them. Inter Milan also must be careful that Juventus also has the chance to be the champion.

Well you may have put it in more precise words. Dominant is maybe too much of the good for Napoli, but they had control over the game and didn't really get under pressure and then I thought if the chance comes up for them, they are the team that is more likely to strike. That's also why I would have chosen Napoli as the winner, but the two teams are struggling and that makes it particularly difficult to determine who the favorite really is in such a game. Osimhen receiving a red card was stupid. That should have never happened and in my opinion it is straight out dumb to receive that second yellow when you know what's on the line in that game.

It is difficult for a player to control emotions when the team is under pressure and I think in football it is normal for what happened to Osimhen.
I am not surprised by the final result of this match, regardless of the game statistics because the most important thing is the final result and it must be admitted that Napoli are currently in a slump with a series of bad results so it is only natural that they lose again in this match.

That's all not the problem here I think. Players are playing with emotions and that is a good thing, but as the word "professional" suggests, the players have a duty towards the rest of the team and that is to avoid unnecessary harm during the game. That red card for Osimhen was such an unnecessary thing. Sometimes I know coincidences can kick in and it is not the best and luckiest day in the life of a player, but after they already lost a striker, he should have known that more caution is required to limit the harm and prevent further harm from being inflicted on the team.

You know Pioli is an experienced manager who won them the Serie A after a lot of years. So he deserves another chance, right? I think he needs to be given the time to fix this squad for the season. They are in the Europa League right now out of the Champions League and they are actually looking comfortable to secure a top 3 position in the Champions League. So I would say they have nothing more to achieve this season. Pioli can be given the time to fix the team. I don't see a new manager joining and achieving more.

I think AC Milan management must act decisively to improve AC Milan performance in the second half of this season. There has been no change for AC milan in the two seasons after they won the Scudetto in the 2021/2022 season where they seemed to have great difficulty getting back into the ranks of the Scudetto-winning teams. Well, Pioli was given the opportunity in the match against Sassoulo at the end of this year where this match will be quite crucial for pioli because if he loses he will be fired. And if He wins it doesn't mean his position will be good enough because the issue of dismissal is getting more intense which is what the fans want.

Pioli failed to make AC milan stronger because in the transfer window of the past two seasons we have seen that many of the players they bought were completely unable to contribute significantly to AC Milan progress. So I might really agree if AC milan looks for a replacement for Pioli before the second half of the season starts. Conte is one of the people who is widely reported to be filling AC milan coaching chair if Pioli is fired because Conte is a coach full of experience in Serie A and it would be extraordinary if he could become AC Milan coach.

It's not trivial to find out what their biggest problems are. I think the good beginning this season could have disguised some of the bigger problems and if you look at Giroud, he has scored quite often in the first few games, but then his performance went down. I thought that he is not the perfect striker for AC Milan as they should more focus on pace and Giroud is not really the fastest player anymore. Having someone who understands where to be at the right time is great, but this seems to have stopped working for them. There is not enough variation in their attacking line despite having players like Leao and Pulisic, but as it was the same in Chelsea, Pulisic can't play on a constant level for several weeks in a row. That can harm the team's performance when some of the players can't perform all the time and now we can see the result of that.

After osimhen got a red card I think that was the genesis of Napoli's fall in the match against Roma, Napoli already had a very poor form and had a poor performance along side so the red card made things even worse for them because they were already struggling with complete players, a man down made it even worse.

Roma was beaten by bologna few day back and bologna nis a team that when compared to Napoli in strength and dept so it was more like a team below Napoli was able to win bologna so definitely or most likely Napoli should have been able to win Roma with little stress but then it turned out roma became a hectic game for Napoli to play, the next two games which osimhen will be missing is definitely going to have some effect on Napoli performance and their results will be affected aswell.

Going into the match against AS Roma, the psychology of Napoli players is being affected the most, especially when they just lost 0-4 at home to Frosinone. While there was a deadlock to find an equalizer, things got even worse for Napoli when they had to play with 9 people on the field. In fact, even before they were superior, Roma played better and created many opportunities. Obviously, they scored the goal and made the most of the situation. I think it was entirely deserved. It had 28 points, one point more than their opponent. Roma is still 3 points behind next season's Champions League group. Mourinho and his team have another problematic match against Juventus, while Napoli returns home to face Monza.

Osimhen was sent off from the field in the 86th minute and there is no reason that the red card that Osimhen received had a bad impact on Napoli performance, but more precisely, Napoli did not appear very good from the first minute. I think that napoli are not very strong this season even though all their players are still dominated by old players, But the change of coach makes it difficult for the players to adapt to the tactics of their new coach. The defeat against Roma is indeed a bad streak for Napoli in Serie A because so far Osimhen et al have suffered 6 defeats which has left Napoli stuck in 7th place. Roma is increasingly focused this season even though several key players are absent, but Mourinho can still overcome Roma performance by presenting 8 wins from 17 match.

Napoli, Lazio are the two teams that finished as champions last season where Napoli won the scudetto and Lazio as runners up. But this season both teams have not been able to maintain their best performance. I think that napoli cannot finish this season by finishing in the top 4 and also for Lazio they will not reach 5th place. I think that is the big change that has occurred in Serie A this season where other teams are able to perform better, such as Bologna and Fiorentina.

Stefano Pioli has put in so many work since he took over the managerial role at AC Milan and that's why he deserves to be given more time to improve the performance of the team. The performance and result of the team have been poor in recent weeks which has prompted a lot of the club's fans to agitate for sack Pioli but I think it's too soon for that as the Italian manager can still make a difference by significantly improving the performance of the team.

If for any reason AC Milan's management decides to sack the club manager now, it'll be very difficult to get a top quality manager in the middle of the season. AC Milan started the season on a very good note before their decline in form that's left them out of the top four of the league and if Stefano Pioli can go back to the drawing board again, I think he has the needed tactical experience to bring the team back to winning ways

It seems that Milan chose to keep Piorli at least for now.

His position it is not safe whatsoever. Next week we have a break and that will be the key moment for the sack if he does not win next week before the Xmas break.

Pioli's achievement of winning the Serie A after a significant drought for AC Milan do underscore his capability as a manager. In such circumstances, making drastic changes, including bringing in a new manager, may not be the most pragmatic solution. Stability and continuity are crucial in football, and Pioli, having worked with the team, is likely to have a better understanding of the players, the system, and the club's dynamics. Giving him the time to address any issues within the squad and work towards improvement is a reasonable approach.

Introducing a new manager might disrupt the team's rhythm, and it may not necessarily lead to better results in the short term. While AC Milan might not be in the Champions League at the moment, there is still much to play for, and Pioli, with his knowledge of the team, is just the man to guide them through any challenges they may face.

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

I agree with your opinion. Genoa are really like a giant slayer team this season. Their position in the standings isn't good at all actually but they still can do a pretty good work in their most challenging games. Even Juventus couldn't beat them indeed. That game against Roma was a total destruction for the Rome team. Sad

Inter are different from all of other top teams left in the Serie A though. But they still shouldn't have any luxury to underestimate them or shouldn't play complacently against them. As the game is an away one too things can just get harder for Inter for no reason in case of doing that.

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.

Indeed. Napoli performed badly, they totally failed to maintain their performance in the last season. They are even defeated by AS Roma with 2 goals. We know that AS Roma played inconsistently. If Napoli was defeated by them, it means Napoli played more inconsistently this season. It is a worse season for Napoli.

Quote from: shinratensei_ on December 24, 2023, 10:22:32 AM

The club is also rarely making opportunities. This is the main problem that was also affecting the performance from the club in UCL.

What opportunities do you mean? Shot attempts?
If Napoli made lack of shot attempts, it means there is a problem with their midfielders and attackers.
I think they have quality players on those lines, they just played with no good motivation and have bad teamwork.

Quote from: shinratensei_ on December 24, 2023, 10:22:32 AM

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.

Mazzarri seems to follow Rudi Garcia. He failed to improve Napoli performance and the mentality among the players. I don't know if Napoli may plan to change their coach again. Sure, no chance for joining the race of the title. Napoli probably tries to finish in the UCL zone only. However, it is not easy if we look their current perfromance.

In my opinion Rudi Garcia was never a great coach as he never made it big into Europe and now that is gone from Napoli , my faith in this team is restored once again and I do hope they will have a decent run in UCL and maybe with a bit of luck they can hold top 4 in Serie A as well because finishing under 4th as ex champions doesn't look good at all.

Napoli lacklustre performances continue and the chance to defend their serie a title tightens up as well even their chance for champions league football is also slim as they are now 4 points of champions league place (even though the super league charge is on).

Questionn is, when will the napoli underperforming coach be sacked?

Actually, Napoli wasn't bad, but they didn't have many options after receiving 2 red cards in the game. They lost 2-0, this is a big problem. Their performance is far from last year's magnificent Napoli. Roma, on the other hand, has been in great form. Napoli was an important opponent for them and they managed to return from this match with 3 points.

So, if there were no red cards in this match Napoli might not have lost maybe both teams play a draw Roma was just lucky in this situation. Sad to see Napoli currently in 7th position because we know that last season Napoli was the best team in the Italian League for some reason they can't maintain their position even though they are still playing the same squad there are only a few players who have moved. Osimhen, who is usually always a mainstay, is now unable to do the same as last season he seemed to be missing something in his abilities.

I don't think Napoli have a chance to win the Scudetto again this season even for a place in the champions league I doubt it, what exactly is missing from this club?
Is it just because their competitors are playing better or is this just an unlucky season for Napoli? sometimes questions like this are difficult to answer.

As we know, Inter and Juventus have become stronger than the previous season, not to mention Milan which has increased its strength by recruiting several better quality players. It must be admitted that in this case Napoli is under greater pressure to maintain the Scudetto, another thing is the change of coach who is considered a poor successor to Spalletti-Rudi Garcia-Walter Mazzarri.

I agree that the red card received by Napoli gave Roma the freedom to control the game, and we know that previously Mourinho squad was more unstable than Napoli now. So I think Roma was lucky because Matteo Politano and Osimhen got red cards.

In my opinion, Napoli can no longer defend the Scudetto, it is very impossible with a very small chance. At least their current effort is to get close to the UCL zone and finish there when the season ends. Meanwhile in the Coppa Italia they have lost, their situation is very difficult to understand at the moment.

I have lost confidence in Napoli as they can no longer finish as top four in the league anymore due to their inconsistency and poor performance in their matches. Rudi Garcia is not a good that can lead Napoli to success because he is not an expert in the coaching field.

It was a bad day for Napoli yesterday as both strikers were given red card and they were left with no striker, which gave Roma the opportunity to win all three points. If not for that Napoli played with two men down, it would have been difficult for Roma to win the match. If Napoli continue in this way, they might not qualify to Europa cup next season because I know that it is impossible for Napoli to qualify to the champions league.

Aurelio De Laurentiis deserves to be blamed because he confidently fired Rudi Garcia midway, the appointment of a new successor Walter Mazzarri, is not an instant solution to improve the club's performance to be more stable. So it is quite reasonable to say that releasing Spalletti was a fatal mistake, it is proven that currently Napoli are having difficulty penetrating the European zone, let alone retaining the Scudetto trophy. The defeat to AS Roma was another form of player frustration, the squad mentality was in a worrying situation.

In my opinion, Napoli will have difficulty creating a positive trend in the future even though their next opponent is relatively easy, because they lost two strikers at once on the front line. It is very likely that Napoli will be fasting for a title this season, a realistic target is to pursue a ticket to the European route for next season, Walter Mazzarri is under great pressure now.

The match official spoiled the game with his harsh card matching orders though. The least he could have done was to at least calmed the situation leading to the very first Red card shown towards Politano.
Disappointed with Politano who should have also controlled his emotions and not react immediately to the bad tackle from the player chasing him.

Victor Oshime included, the first was quite understanding, the second though was leading to a quick counter attack, he didn't stop the ball and at the same time didn't stamp on the player. His approach from behind was just not right. There was no way he could have escaped that card.

AS Roma still have the same problem every season, this season too they don't seem to have changed much from the previous season. Yes they are inconsistent and it is very difficult to create that consistency. It's not too bad, but it's not enough to bring them into the tight competition for the Scudetto title. To be in the top 4 alone seems like they will struggle with their current performance. Unless they can improve it in the second round later.
One of the problems they have is the defense that is still easy to be penetrated by opponents, and that makes it dificult for them to win every match. 8 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats is something that is not satisfactory.

It's true, but it seems like AS Roma fans have excessive expectations and they think AS Roma can be better than the previous season but in fact that's not the case at all. Because after all, basically AS Roma is only trying to get into the top four, meanwhile AS Roma always fails in the competition and fails to survive to stay in the top four.

Therefore, there is no hope for AS Roma to win the scudetto because yes, basically AS Roma still does not have the quality to reach the top of the Serie A standings. With failures like that, it is at least not surprising if there are statements about AS Roma needing strong finances to be able to have more stable and better quality and performance.

Serie A is a very competitive league and to survive there a team needs to be consistent and good. AS Roma is currently doing not too bad but not good enough to get them a spot in the Uefa Champions League. For the past few years, AS Roma has been playing in the Europa League and I kind of forgot last when they played Uefa Champions League.

This season they are not doing so bad, but they are not doing very good either as well. They are in the 6th position right now but they have the potential to play in the UCL but it's very low. They have to be consistent like their opponents. They keep dropping points against relatively weaker teams and can't do much against bigger teams. They need to fix these to get better.

Undoubtedly, Napoli has been very inconsistent since the start of the season and doesn't look like the Napoli team that won the Italian Serie A last season with a high point point difference. They managed to finish behind Real Madrid in their group to reach the knockout stages of the UEFA champions league but has been absolutely poor in the league as they're currently 7th in the Italian league table.

That been said, since the club sacked their former manager Rudi Garcia, the new manager Walter Mazzarri has improved the performance of the club and could've won the league game against Roma yesterday had they finished the game with eleven men. They're currently four points behind fourth placed Bologna and if they can improve in their performance, they can still finish the season in the top four of the league table.

AS Roma still have the same problem every season, this season too they don't seem to have changed much from the previous season. Yes they are inconsistent and it is very difficult to create that consistency. It's not too bad, but it's not enough to bring them into the tight competition for the Scudetto title. To be in the top 4 alone seems like they will struggle with their current performance. Unless they can improve it in the second round later.
One of the problems they have is the defense that is still easy to be penetrated by opponents, and that makes it dificult for them to win every match. 8 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats is something that is not satisfactory.

It's true, but it seems like AS Roma fans have excessive expectations and they think AS Roma can be better than the previous season but in fact that's not the case at all. Because after all, basically AS Roma is only trying to get into the top four, meanwhile AS Roma always fails in the competition and fails to survive to stay in the top four.

Therefore, there is no hope for AS Roma to win the scudetto because yes, basically AS Roma still does not have the quality to reach the top of the Serie A standings. With failures like that, it is at least not surprising if there are statements about AS Roma needing strong finances to be able to have more stable and better quality and performance.

Napoli's quality of play has dropped a lot from their previous performances, they have been playing much better in the Italian league but why are they playing so badly this time around. They have been seen at the top of the points table for most of the time but this time they have moved to the 7th position. This is really funny. Even with a team like Roma, they won the match 2-0 today, so wasn't it because of Napoli's weakness? So why don't you blame them for their losses? It happened because Napoli played carelessly

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.

The performances that Nopali played with last season are not there this season, maybe it was the success of one man that they are behind this season due to his departure. But it has to be admitted that Napoli played the worst in today's match, their performance was very disappointing and they couldn't attack much against Roma. The way they attacked today against Roma, they must have been in seventh position because their attacking moments were not very good. After Matteo Politano was sent off for a red card, Napoli attacked more badly, and their game changed even more when another player received a red card in the 86th minute. And Roma took this opportunity to win by two goals against Napoli on their home ground and their attack was superb.
