I don't think it's an embarassment to lose to the best team in Italy (on current form), by a single goal, and that too because the wood work saved them.

Yeah, that is how I feel as well. Would have preferred to get 1 point out of it (or even 3), but at least the team tried (which is more than I can say about these past years). However, we cannot afford to drop any more points now.

Well, let's look at it this way, if we win against Udine nest weekend we'll be on better ground than we were after 3 matches at the start of the season

Not to mention, I think the way we've played so far in these first 2 fixtures compared to the reverse ones at the star of the season shows how far we've come this season. It's just night and day in terms of the way we've played. The only issue has to be the slow starts we're currently suffering from which have put us in terrible spots early in the game

Jack, Han - what are you talking about? We played awful against Napoli. We can only thank Dries Mertens and a few other Napoli players that the match didn't end with a 4 or 5 goal margin. Have you see the sitters they missed? Have you seen our defense getting caught out time after time? I don't know what to think, saying it's a big improvement that we lost only by one difference against the best team in Italy isn't simply telling the whole truth. We were mostly bad and in times appalling.

Montella has to wake up and start thinking what he's doing. Calabria obviously cannot play on the left. Zapata should be picked before Gomez. PaĊĦalić should be benched as well. Niang crossed off entirely. I don't get why we do these changes in such a slow fashion?

I disagree Fillipo, we were obviously watching different games, I thought we were by far the better side for most of the game

Couple of chances on counters does not a great performance make.

But we were torn apart in the first 20 minutes. Then they laid back and started killing us with counter attacks. Only the finishing lacked.

Yes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well had our finishing been better we'd have won it. And I don't think they killed us on the counters after the first 30 minutes or so, yes when the game started they literally tore us apart with their counters, but after that we dominated possession and made it far more difficult for them to break, which was their only strategy

We only came on 1 occasion close to the equalizer. On the other hand, Napoli had plenty of chances to raise the score. That says it all IMO.
