Mate of mine was amazed how easily Arsenal (he's a fan) put away Napoli - asked how good they were.

Ultimately Juve have become a problem for Serie A - they're so far ahead of this league honestly they should leave - they're too good for the division and if there was a way to put them in a different league it would be best for Serie A. The rest of the league just can't get close and it hurts them - Napoli, even under Carlo, gubbed by a decent if not amazing Arsenal.

Juve have too much money, power and ability - the embarrassment of how far ahead they are is absurd.

But then, it's not unprecedented - PSG in France is similar.

Yet PSG opened up the door for Monaco, Marseille and Nice to at least try and be competitive.

It was a strange decision signing Carletto IMO. He never seemed to me the right man for them. They need a guerrilla tactics coach like Simeone on their side to pull of a scudetto winning season. Ancelotti is too much of a big club man to deal with their kind of pressure and mentality.

You guys are too critical.

This is a midtable team and this midtable team currently sits in a European slot of the table.

The team lost a couple of games, so what? Now the team is mediocre? Have you forgotten this is a midtable team?

Then on Gattuso, what's the issue we have with Gattuso? If he does not get CL he will be gone by the end of the season. And that's that.

P.S. you guys should lower your expectations, it's not like the team will be challenging for top honors anytime soon. There has to be consistency in the structure of the team before there is any consistency in results, then we can discuss winning something.

I disagree with that midtable team talk. Sure, we ain't the team we were in 2004. But who's talking about that anyway? If our team is midtable class so to speak, then hell Atalanta, Lazio and Roma have all midtable teams as well.

The issue with Gattuso is quite simple. He's a solid coach but he lacks experience and isn't in control of his team. He has no idea what to do upfront when the Plan A isn't working. The mindset of the team fighting for 4th or even 3rd spot just isn't right.

Hasn’t that been the issue with all our coaches since Ancelotti though?

Be interesting to see how Montella does back at Viola.

He'll be good for them, they're at this level

We'll see about Rino, if he gets 4th I think he deserves the chance to stay for another season

And this is why we never once in these 10 years or so overachieved. Not a single season with better results then quality/money invested.

What recently shocked me is that Juve, over a span of some 9 seasons, spent 1,2 billion in transfers, but Milan more then 700 m with an income from transfers circa 500 - exactly the same as Inter. Juventus won 224 more points compared to Milan in 8 last seasons.

If Rino loses tonight I think he will and should be sacked.

Meaning now or at the end of the season? Because sacking him now would be a mistake imo

Anyway, that's moot. A massive 3 points tonight.

Parma away
Torino away
Bologna home
Fiorentina away
Frosinone home
SPAL away

No big names but still a tough calendar.

The 2 bolded ones are the most worrying but at the back of my mind, I feel like we're more likely to f@ck it all up against Frasinone or SPAL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I think Roma have a tougher fixture list, same with Lazio, but I just don't trust that we can see this through to the end considering how we've been playing as of late. Only good thing going for us is that both the Rome clubs have been just as bad
