Looking forward to Inter-Fiorentina today. Should be a good game.
It is. Chiesa is a beast

Fiorentina dominated the second half, probably should have had a penalty and on the counter concede a stupid goal. Don't deserve to lose this.

Very good team though, and Pioli is a very good coach for them

Inter should absolutely do whatever they can to sign Enrico's son

Smash and grab win for inter, so very undeserved :lol:

I'd never seen Asamoah getting dominated physically before tonight by a wide forward. Federico Chiesa is a force of nature

Penalty for Inter was not clear (maybe a kind gift by ref) and Asamoah deserved a second yellow before D'Ambrosio scored 2-1 goal.
But I'm quite sure most of Inter fans will forget such things in a while, as usual, to keep on playing their favourite role of poor victims.

Meh. Pen for inter was clear. It's handball, the arm is wide, it's in the box. Penalty

Asa's potential second yellow....eeesh. Could have been. Not a particularly bad decision. The pen on Chiesa defo should have gone to VAR

After the Parma debacle, Inter were due a game like this. We know how it works

Deserved victory at the end even though the second half wasn't brilliant, finally VAR worked well after the shame against Parma and Sassuolo.

Lost against a clearly better team today. No shame in it. Juventus-Napoli look even great now.

This will be a great game. A shame it's so early into the season. First Juve-Napoli and then the Madrid derby. Saturday s set. GF couldn't have chosen a better evening for a girls night :drool:

That Cancelo guy is really a joy to watch, also improved in defence.

That was good from Cronaldo. Cant see Napoli getting anything with Koulibaly their only decent defensive player.

Juve should be ahead.

Great Ospina save from Ronaldo FK and then Juve couldn't scramble in the rebound.

Aren’t Napoli supposed to play high-intensity football? Looking like turtles out there ATM

Can't help to think Juve are underusing/misusing Ronaldo. So many times in their games where the ball could be played to him but the execution is either too poor or the pass isn't made at all. And at this stage of his career, he shouldn't be playing wing as much as he's been for them. He needs to be in and around the box more.

He's been excellent in the last few games.

Yeah, he’s playing differently than he did for Madrid. I think it’s because they have Mandzukic rather than Benzema which means he has to show himself more.

Juve's middfield isn't good enough to get the best out of his goalscoring

Reality now with the Napoli red card is Juve will be six points clear and they haven't actually played that well so far from the games I've seen.

Shame as Seria A below them is a very interesting league this season.

3-1 Juventus FT. They are now 6 points above Napoli. The league is almost over again. Despite not scoring that much, CR7 is proving to be a lethal weapon for Bianconeri.

Great win. Ronaldo and Mandzukic but also Matuidi are such big game players.

Bad news is that our General Manager is not continuing after his present mandate finishes in October. It's a disaster and breaks up our highly successful team at the top of our club.

Is there any reason why he’s leaving?

No idea. There were rumours he would go to lead the Italian football association, but he has categorically denied that. It's breaking news, so we wil lhave to see what else comes out. It's not a good day for the club, though, that is for sure.

There were news in august that Zidane was coming in with a management role. I find it hard to believe but who knows.

Giuseppe Marotta will always be in history as the man who brought Juventus back where it deserves. Love you Beppe.

Yes, he did an incredible job from what I’ve read.

It will be interesting to see what changes for Juve moving forward, especially in the transfer market.
