Another good win against a too poor Spezia.
One week ago we were -7 down to Napoli and Milan. Now we are -2 and -1.
Come on Inter!

Win over Roma and Inter would really be hot favorites to win. They have 4 or 5 games after Roma that they could easily win and build huge difference at the top.

I'd be satisfied with a even just a draw.

Love how good Dimarco has showed to be especially since he is raised by the club, think he will have a great career and will become a key figure for Inter.

Very nice with Barella getting full rest. Already one of the best central midfielders in the world with alot of space and time to become even better.

Future is really looking bright for Nerazzurri. Brozovic and Peresic have never been better. Expecting Inter to win the CL-group. Actually were the better team against Real Madrid in the first match but missed too many good chances.

Would need a reserve for Dzeko and also a new goalkeeper, seems like Onana from Ajax is close.

Apparently Conte leaves his teams in shambles and in need of complete rebuild or something, as some guys were telling us here.

This Inter side looks as strong as last season.

Good to see the Milan sides slugging it out at the top.
Big game tonight with Napoli and Atalanta. Should be an exciting watch.

Losing to Inter 2-0
Roma are only 5 points off being bottom half. Will be miles off top 4 come May given they're pretty much losing to every other top 7 club so far.

Is Mourinho under serious pressure now or do people just like the pantomine too much of him back in Serie A as take away the first 3-4 games of season and it's been a similar run to what he had in the last two months at Spurs.

What guy above is saying... Mourinho is trying to sail on the previous glory, but that was so long in the past. They are getting murdered by Inter. Why is he still trying to coach? He is so figured out, so outdated, so past his prime.

Team is pretty much exactly what it was last season under Fonseca. Good against bad teams, bad against good teams

Mourinho's problem is that he's incapable anymore of raising the level of his teams or improve. If the team he inherited is shit, they keep on performing like shit under him too. They don't get worse but they don't improve either. Spurs were shit in the few months before he got and stayed shit after he was sacked, he was performing in the manner expected from such team, but he was incapable of improving them. Roma were shit last season, finished 7th and now playing in Europe Conference League, and they're still getting the same results under Mourinho.

He just weirdly can't improve teams anymore or get them to play at a level more than the sum of their parts as he used to be.

This scoreline wouldn't be massively relevant to anything if Jose wasn't manager. Roma are marginally improved on last year... but December means nothing and well, either way, surely he wasn't expected to do a great deal anyway, top 4 would of been reaching with that squad. It's just miles behind Napoli, Atalanta, Inter, Milan and Juve really.... Lazio too... basically yeah, last year's table is still relevant.

But marginally improving mid to slightly upper table teams is a bit odd, he just loves that money.

I dont think it is bizarre. He had his time, but his methods don't work anymore. Failed to adapt.
Maybe not bizarre then, just stark. He was Fergie’s heir, the GOAT elect at one point. Nobody will go near him pretty soon.

Atalanta 1 up in Naples early on. Would be just 4 points off the top spot if they win. Honestly can see them winning Serie A this season.

Dzeko doesn't receive as much love as he deserves. What a player, he's been scoring goals everywhere he played at
He was unlucky to be second string to one of best PL strikers in history in Aguero when he was at City, and had Balotelli as his competition who was like Mancini's son competing with him(even though he was far better than Balotelli), so people who watched him just in Premiership don't rate him that highly, even though he was still very good player for City too, altough never at his top level that he was for every team he played.

Easily one of best strikers in last 10 years or so.
