Serie A 2023-24 Season

[luiginb]

... and last year's cup winner Inter bow out to Bologna (Motta's team is impressive this year) after leading them 1-0 in extra time. Zirkzee with two amazing assists, wonder if he's finally figuring it out.

 

[PanniniClaus]

In a matter of seconds... Monza self destruct with a piss poor pass out sequence from the back and then nearly completely imploded but D'ambrosio made a goal line save when Ikone had the whole net.

Tomori puts Milan from Rafael Leao's pass, this time unsually from right side of the goal.

 

[gary69]

Salernitana draws level with Fazio rising well above anyone else to head home from corner.

I remember disliking Fazio, because back when he was at Sevilla, I managed Barca in FM and Fazio always scored a header against me, because he had by far the best height/heading ability in FM at that time.

 

[gary69]

Salernitana are ahead now, as Maignan lets Candreva's long range shot slip in easily at near post.

Tomori was injured just before the goal too, laying on the pitch holding his leg and subsequently subbed off.

Edit: Giroud heads the ball to Jovic who scores a 90th minute equalizer.

 

[gary69]

Juve keep the pressure on Inter, who play later today.

Vlahovic came from the bench to score the winner, he had nother one disallowed too, nice finish but offside.

 

[gary69]

Inter won even without Lautaro. Bisseck scored his first ever Serie A goal, trying to head in from a corner, but it went in from his neck instead.

Then Barella scored the second after a nice backheel pass by Arnautovic.

Earlier suprise package Bologna won again to stay 4th in the table. Their Scottish captain Lewis Ferguson headed the winner after a corner.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I was today years old when I learned Marko Arnautovic played for Inter

Napoli’s meltdown is comical

 

[gary69]

Yeah, Napoli lost their nerves in the 2-0 loss away to Roma. Had two guys sent off, including Osimhen. I don't know how many cards the ref handed out, but it was plenty.

 

[N o o d l e s]

We are going to have to win the UCL to qualify for it and considering we’ll be eliminated by Barcelona…

This is the real Napoli

 

[gary69]

Inter drop 2 points with a draw against Genoa. Dragusin leapt well over anyone else to score a powerful header.

Napoli couldn't capitalize without suspended Osimhen and were able to only draw, but other chasing pack clubs can close the cap when they play later this weekend.

 

[gary69]

Pulisic puts Milan ahead just before hour mark, good pass by Bennacer, although defender managed to hinder it a bit.

Probably deserved, as Milan has had better attempts than Sassuolo, although most of them have lead to nothing. Leao had a nice finish ruled out for offide in the first half, but that was about it before the goal.

 

[gary69]

Juve trying to narrow the cap, as Rabiot puts them ahead against Roma at the start of 2nd half.

 

[luiginb]

Today's scorelines reminds me of the Serie A of old

 

[N o o d l e s]

ADL. Waiting until January to do what he should have done in June makes me sad. Wasted year

 

[luiginb]

It doesn't really make sense for Genoa to accept Ostigard, as they have promising center backs De Winter and Maturro on the bench to replace Dragusin.

 

[gary69]

Earlier today Inter get an important win with Frattesi's 94th minute winner. Verona still had a chance to equalize from a 100th minute PK, but Thomas Henry hit the post from the spot.

 

[gary69]

Despite a depleted squad, Milan with an easy away win over Empoli, solidifying their third place.

Loftus-Creek with an accurate finish after Leao's run on the left and nice pass. Then Giroud with an unstoppable PK and the third was a debut goal for youngster Traore.

 

[gary69]

After getting to play most of the second half with a man up, Juventus managed to turn a 1-0 deficit into 2-1 win in added time. Vlahovic scoring the winner with a powerful header.

Lol, another red card for Mourinho. How many he has had already this season? Must be close to record, feels like he is always sent soon after coming off from his previous ban.

Interesting match in the cup quarterfinals in Italy, Fiorentina-Bologna, two teams that play interesting, offensive football. I like Fiorentina more defensively, but Bologna more going forward. It's interesting that M'Bala from Fiorentina chose not to go to the AFCON and his team is repaying him by keeping him on the bench haha

LE This has been one of the worst games I've seen this year. Zero intensity, two teams trying to play from the back without the quality to do so. Half the game it's been passes between the goalkeepers and central defenders. The knowledgeable Fiorentina public is as pissed as I am and constantly boo their team's back passes haha. Worst part is that we're tied 0-0 in the 90th minute which means that unless someone scores late I'm gonna be treated to 30 more minutes of this.

LLE: Fiorentina wins it on penalties, after Bologna leave technically limited Posch to score the decisive penalty and he sails it high.

 

[gary69]

Milan take the lead against Roma, Adli with his first goal for Milan.

 

[KlausJopling]

Giroud and Theo Hernandez combine for a beauty.

 

[gary69]

With his goal today, Giroud is the first Milan player since Alexander Pato (who is actually 3 years younger than Giroud) to score 10+ goals in consecutive seasons.

When he came to Milan, I doubt many people expected him to do this well for three years.

Mourinho's time is surely over in Rome after this season.

 

[Power Man]

Milan’s 3rd goal was superb
Great play between Theo and Giroud
