Italian Serie A - 2020-2021
- Thread starter van der star
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Top 3 goalscorers in Serie A are all ex-United - CR7, Lukaku, Zlatan.
And then you look at the PL top goalscorers and no United forward in top 10. (Bruno is joint third, but he's a CAM).

Cavani would be top 3 in Serie A, had he joined Inter or Juve this summer
Laturo Martinez hat trick.
Inter go top albeit with Milan playing later.
More interesting is Juve now 12 points off Inter with two games in hand so to have serious chance of winning title now they need to pull 10 match winning run out of the bag.
Got Milan and Inter away in next two weeks so their title bid could well be over by end of January. Sassuolo at home will also be a tricky one.

Gosens is class.
Atalanta having a stretch of their legs and hitting in four before hour mark.

Dominant match for lukaku!!!
Lukaku, lautaro, skriniar, brozovic and barella the best today for Inter.

Milan 1-0 up but down to 10 men against benevento. Big second half coming up for them
2-0 now, Milan and Inter just cant stop winning, its already over for Juve imo.
Benevento are godawful at finishing.
Huge win for Milan despite going down a man and giving away a penalty.
When is Ibrahimovic back? Anyone knowing?
He'll miss Juventus (Jan 6) and Torino (Jan 9)
Should be available for Serie A match vs Cagliari (Jan 16)
Shame he miss the Juventus game.
How good is Martinez for Inter?
Juve is already out of it, so the game doesnt matter that much.
Oh Juve...
VAR 
More like JuVAR
Lucky Pirlo
Shame, was a quality goal.
Rodrigo De Paul is a very good player, one of those you're surprised is still at his present club. Was sort of linked to Leeds in the summer and apparently Inter looking at him as signing in next 6 months once they can ship out likes of Eriksen.

God. Their crossings been awful. Pirlo’s tactic: put floating crossings as much as you can, there is no tall players but Ronaldo why even trying to float it, just drill it on the ground.
Ronaldo FC
Ronaldo dropped back from corner kick to made sliding tackle, won the ball back, got up and dribbled it forward. Rare to watch.
The greatest of all time.
What a pass by Ronaldo.
Edit: ridiculous stuff really after watching the replay. Great technique.

Dude being a milan supporter you should be very aware that every year milan chokes on the second half of the season. Besides, if juve wins on Wednesday, and wins the pending game against Napoli, Milan is just 4 points above. Far from out of it.
is that so?
funny, because the last 2 seasons, we've been excellent in the 2nd half of the season... we nearly went unbeaten last season, and season prior made it within what, 1 pt of CL due to our 2nd half?
but ok.
Second half of last season was great, you are right.
It is amazing that nothing can stop them
Their next match is against Juventus on Wednesday
Oh man. Libertadores semi on Wednesday tooIt is amazing that nothing can stop them
Their next match is against Juventus on Wednesday
After the matches in europe therefore all is fine
No Ibra, no Bennacer, no Saelemaekers, no Tonali.It is amazing that nothing can stop them
Their next match is against Juventus on Wednesday
We have good cover for Ibra in these type of games, but it's been a struggle without Bennacer. His backup Tonali is suspended, which means Krunic has to start.
The team is much better when Saelemaekers is starting.
Do you fancy your chances against Juventus? Beat them and they are almost out of the title race, feel weird for saying this after only 16 games but 13 points with a game in hand might a bit too much for a rookie manager in his first season. For some strange reason, I still think Juve can win the Scudetto because I don't think you and Inter can sustain this form throughout this season, look at what happened to Inter last season, also with the Ronaldo factor and Juve team has serial winners.
Milan and inter as title favorites, it’s great to see the Milan clubs back on top!
Juventus can still definitely win. I actually think Juventus have more chance of beating Inter away on match day 18 than the one vs Milan on Wednesday. Inter aren’t very good against big teams.
Juve on their day can beat anyone though.
Juve on their day can beat anyone though.
In this particular game? I'd say it's 70-30 Juve, if it's not a draw. But only due to the absences. At full strength Juve would be ripped apart again by this Milan.
As for the Scudetto, I think Juve are hopeless with Pirlo at the helm. No way they'll finish above Inter, who have no European fixtures to worry about. As for us, it depends on the injury situation.
If this injury nightmare continues then I can see Juve surpass us eventually.
Bad news for Juve: Sandro and Cuadrado positive at Covid test. Dybala got temperature too and should miss match against Milan
Just watched Alexis Sanchez have a penalty saved and Ashley Young hit the post with the rebound.
Inter snoozing on the job, 2 down at Sampdoria now so if Juve can win at Milan later......
Resting Lukaku for this isn't a great look with the missed penalty.
Interesting to see Keita Balde scoring for Samp. I rated him at Lazio but his career has really stalled last 3 years so interesting to see if he can get things going again as he's still pretty young.
