they were lucky to be midtable last season, but they'll be in the basement scrap this time ...

they sold their best player (Kévin Constant), and replaced him with Bradley ... so as long as he learns the language quickly, he'll have plenty of playing time ...

Oh this is going to be a disaster. He can't catch a break with a decent club, and he's going to lose his National Team place because of it. Pretty good player coming off a broken leg in about a month. You don't learn the kind of things you need to take the USA to the next level by battling relegation. It might come in handy when we're under assault by Spain or something like that, but he won't get better at being dominant.

Forza Suarez! (ps brotha can you spare a dime?)
Chievo, ha (H)

They always manage to avoid relegation despite having one of the least talented rosters coming into every season.

Wellcome to 2011-2012 season

Not a bad match for the start. Allegri's Milan is not the most exciting one but they know how to get something out of nothing. They still need to do lot's of work on that midfield and Gattuso was injured again.

Now that, my friends, is why the 3-4-3 is an obsolete formation. (H)

Thank you Palermo!

Haha, Gasperini made a mess today. Playing 3-4-3, leaving out Sneijder (considering him an attacker!), then realizing in the 30th minute things don't go well and subbing him in anyway... on the left wing in attack. LOL.

Palermo entertaining as always. Crazy Zamparini maybe be a little eccentric and scramble for coaches, but their transfer policy is spot on. They always bring in the right exciting players and play good football, no matter the opponent. Good stuff.

Sneijder on left wing, WTF?
They were 0-1 ahead, why he subbed Zarate?

I'm interested to see how Sneijder can be used this year at Inter.

Zarate is grossly ineffective most of the time. When he's not pouting he occasionally has a good game but he's so inconsistent. There's a reason Lazio were happy to get rid of a player with his level of talent.

What do you think of Napoli this year?

They kept key players and looked impressive this week.
 

Rocky

Their defense is mediocre on a good day. Cannot see Napoli earning anything higher than 3rd place again.

Zarate was terrible for the time he was on the pitch.
Looked completely unfit (or injured), and couldn't control the bloody ball!

Sneijder played a weird role, but one that he plays well in.

By the end of the match, our formation was something like this...

-------------Milito------------
---------------------Forlan---
---Sneijder-------------------
-----------Alvarez------------
Obi------------Stankovic-----
---------------------Jonathan
------------------------------
---Zanetti---Samuel---Lucio---
------------------------------
----------Julio Cesar-----------

That's because of their movement in the roles though.
If you were to show how they would be generically, it's a simple 4-3-3, like this;

---Sneijder---Milito---Forlan---
------------------------------
Obi-Alvarez-Stankovic-Jonathan
------------------------------
---Zanetti---Samuel---Lucio---
------------------------------
----------Julio Cesar-----------

No, I know that. It just doesn't look like a team who would have any chance at a Scudetto or the Champions League.

Alvarez is very talented, great with the ball at his feet, although a bit selfish in some moments. He looks promising...

Jonathan is great too, i saw Santos matches in libertadores last season and i liked him but Danilo is the better one.

Ricky Alvarez has great ability, he just needs to mature his game. A real exciting prospect for the future.

ex-Laziale Kolarov producing a thunderbolt to deny Il Matador Cavani an away winner ... gonna watch the replay at some point, but it sounds like Napoli acquitted themselves decently well ...
