1-0 to Atalanta. Completely deserved. Juve are horrible, no idea what Sarri has added to this team so far

A draw would be a great result for them here

Higuain was incredible this game. 2 goals & an assist. MOTM performance. He looks like a rejuvenated player this season compared to last. His link-up play and passing has been excellent - which was always an underrated aspect of his game.

Maldini's son on the bench for Milan today by the looks of it.

Napoli 11 points off 2nd place now.

In fairness I do think they're in a bit of transition now (similar to Spurs over here). Their great 11 of last few seasons has run its course and probably needs to be broken up for its own sake. Someone like Dries Mertens isn't much of a game changer anymore after his mad scoring run two years ago.

New names like Di Lorenzo and Elmas need time to develop (horrible dive by Elmas in the second half btw).

Converting chances really makes the blah blah blah redundant. This game was like @ Spurs two years ago in the CL.

Surprised Brescia are doing so badly, they have Tonali who loads are going mad about and of course Balotelli upfront. Start of the season their defence wasn't too bad either.

Is their coach really bad? You'd expect them to be better than 20th anyway.

Roma should be back in top 4 this season and will go for them to finish above Napoli.

Fabio Grosso replaced Eugenio Corini on 5th November

Not going too well with Grosso then!

Start of the season they started with 1-0 away wins at Cagliari and Udinese, only lost to Milan 1-0 and Juve and Napoli 2-1 and drew 0-0 with Fiorentina so certainly lost that defensive solidity recently.

I take it this will be another Juve 2-1 with 90 + 5 winner off Ronaldo's backside.
