Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[mammusu]

Paul Pogba Has an excellent history in the past but when you are way to long you will find it hard to keep up and sometimes you can not continue to be excellent, look at Messi and Ronaldo what will you not hear about them then they were role model to a lot of players, and now they are still trying but their performance have dropped and exactly what will happen to Paul Pogba you can not cheat nature even because of the age and the rest the performance can not be certain. And no matter what a player needs to train and his individual training might be productive and fruitful, that is just a speculation anything can happen because the physical moght not even be the issue but the mental gymnastics matters to how prepared he is mentally, we don't know what will happen after the suspension but what if juventus decides to keep him.

Pogba will no longer be a Juventus player, Motta is trying to terminate his contract, I saw that Pogba is even ready to take a pay cut to stay at Juventus, apparently he doesn't have many offers from other clubs so he can choose a more acceptable option than Juventus. It seems to me that the most important thing for Pogba is that he will be able to return to the game in January of the new year, this is very good news for him, I understand why Juventus doesn't want to terminate his contract, they were counting on him, and he let them down, everything should be built on trust.

Juventus have stated that they will no longer keep Pogba in the squad, so it is indeed certain that he will no longer be part of the current Juventus squad, in addition to that Motta has stated that he already have the squad needed at the moment for face this season and it also indicates that Motta does not mind releasing Pogba,  reportedly Pogba is currently in talks with Marseille, but whether the news is true or not course we don't know, but if it is true that Marseille wants to sign Pogba of course it will be a good step to strengthen their midfield next season, I think there is nothing more for Pogba to consider at the moment other than continuing to train and restore his form before he can return to play in January later,  In my opinion, the most important thing is that Pogba can return to play and find his best form again, So that way he can again show Juventus if he is still the best midfielder at the moment regardless of the case or other views of Juventus management towards him.

Cristiano Giuntoli started talking about their former player Pogba.
This player was out for a long time, and he was about to end his career because of the long suspension, but they decreased the penalty to 18 months, which is still a long time. After this long time of being out, he is definitely not in good form anymore because he didn't play in any games.
This made Juventosto stop working on Pogba. Cristiano Giuntoli the director of Juventus said they don't need Pogba anymore and their list is full of other palyers. [...]

It was so sad for Paul Pogba, even before his ban was lifted, he had already received some unpleasant news from his own team. Cristiano Giuntoli & Juventus have their reasons why they don't need Paul Pogba anymore & Paul Pogba must respect that decision. At his current age, he is still worthy of playing again (31 years old), we'll see what happens early next year.

Paul Pogba may be a player with a history full of success, but football is not played with the past. We don't even know what his current situation will be in football. Since his suspension will end in March, we will be able to watch him on the field in March, but I think he is far from football because Juventus did not even let him on the field to train. As such, he did his training with individual efforts, but football is much more dynamic and fast now. It is necessary to think about how effective his individual training will be. I don't know which league or country he will go to, but it is certain that he will not be in Juventus.

I was thinking that Pogba have even retired from football due to his long absence from the scene. He is rarely talked about now and it seems he was involved in some controversy that have impacted his career. It is just unfortunate that Juventus is not able to enjoy the best of him since he is suspension for the greater part of his active football in the club. I feel it will be a little difficult for him to cope when he is back to the pitch unless he is taking his trainings seriously even though he has not been playing active football.

I think Como should bring in some defenders in the upcoming transfer market, because as @leni01 said their defense is still very fragile so far they have conceded 15 goals in 8 matches. because if you want to stay in Serie A a solid defense is needed when facing stronger opponents at least they will not concede too many goals the goal difference will also affect the standings at the end of the season.
But for now Como is still considered worthy of surviving with the resistance they have shown.

I think Como is the best promoted team this season. Although they still have many problems but they managed to get 14th position. I doubt they will be able to get top 10 position at the end of the season. But I am sure they will stay in Serie A next season. Fabregas is a good coach and he is a midfielder in his career so I think he can still make Como better. On the other hand I agree that Como has a problem in their defense. They are quite productive by scoring 11 goals but on the other hand they also conceded 15 goals. It seems they can bring in some defenders in the upcoming transfer market to solve this problem.

Status as a promotion team, of course this is not easy for Como, because they have to adapt to tighter competition than before, especially they also have to include several players who can compete in even tighter competition. Not to underestimate the players who managed to bring them promotion this season, but with tighter competition of course that is not enough for them to compete. So far I see it is still in a reasonable situation considering it is not easy to adapt quickly. However, they can still win, although the number of their defeats is still more. Of course they have to bring in some more players to make them stronger, in the next transfer window they must be able to take advantage of it.

Como who are promoted this season looks very promising to stay in Serie A compared to teams such as Parma, Venezia, Lecce and also Genoa, what they did in the transfer market last summer is of course the main factor in their ability to compete in Serie A at the moment, Como is even the team that has spent the most money in Serie A this season to support their ambitions to continue to be a contender in the league and not just Just being a complementary team in Serie A this season, I think the January transfer market may Como will again make a breakthrough to recruit defensive players, especially now that Varane has decided to retire and obviously makes Como have to find a replacement, I quite agree, if currently their main problem is in the defensive line, so indeed they need to overcome it immediately by bringing in an experienced defender in the transfer market later.

[hahay]

Of course, there are some mistakes and some problems in the defense. If they fix these, Como can become one of the important teams in the Italian league. I think they are one of the dangerous teams in the Italian league right now.

They just need to have a good project and they may become a regular name in Serie A. For this season, they need to focus on not getting relegated by finishing as high up the table as possible. They're not safe now because they're just a couple pf points a way from the relation zone. If they can manage to avoid relegation this season and by next season add 3 or 4 players to their team to fill up the spaces that need filling like the defence and DM, then they might become a better side.

With the influence of Fabregas, they may be able to lure talents to their club and that can help them a lot. We've already seen how his influence has brought in players like Nico Paz and Sergi Roberto. They need to understand that its a process, a never ending process. They have to always discover what they lack most and try as much as possible to make it available and get the right manager at all time. If they're a properly managed club, they can achieve this.

Are you serious about Como being a very dangerous team for other teams in Serie A this season? Because I only consider that Como is only a promoted team and usually promoted teams do have theability to make surprises at certain moments or in certain matches. So, if only because Como managed to beat Atalanta and Verona, for me that is not enough to say that Como is a dangerous team. Because after all,  usually promoted teams that can do that will also not be able to consistently continue to win against the top teams in Serie A, so I think that is natural.

But indeed, it would be better for them to at least be able to survive in Serie A and not be relegated. It doesn't matter what position they will finish in at the end of this season because what is certain is that if they don't want to be relegated then they are enough to be able to finish in a better position than the relegation zone, that's enough, there is no need to target finishing in the top position  if it will only make them depressed.

[LUCKMCFLY]

This is a good opportunity for the 3 promoted teams, they have struggled from the lower castes to be able to appear in the Italian Premier League. from my observations, Como will be able to survive next season, while Parma and Vennezia will return to the Italian League 2, the season still has a long way to go, both promoted teams will have the opportunity in the transfer market in the next 3 months to at least recruit experienced players,
even if they are aged 35 or over, but in the market This will be a good opportunity to survive next season. Club economics is really needed by team managers when they are playing in the highest caste otherwise the team will lack the best players and become the bottom team in the league standings.

Many years ago Parma was a renowned team , like many others, the ones that are still relevant for me have not lost that level have been Juve and Inter ,  at the time Roma, but I remember that both Parma and Fiorentina were teams that wow scared the other teams and that is something that was noticeable from miles away , now if these teams come back , at least Parma would be very Interesting because Seeing them at full throttle would be Something that does very well to Italian football , I consider that now Italy needs a lot more of that old school.

I think Como is the best promoted team this season. Although they still have many problems but they managed to get 14th position. I doubt they will be able to get top 10 position at the end of the season. But I am sure they will stay in Serie A next season. Fabregas is a good coach and he is a midfielder in his career so I think he can still make Como better. On the other hand I agree that Como has a problem in their defense. They are quite productive by scoring 11 goals but on the other hand they also conceded 15 goals. It seems they can bring in some defenders in the upcoming transfer market to solve this problem.

Of course they have to bring in some more players to make them stronger, in the next transfer window they must be able to take advantage of it.

This is true, but they are not just some ordinary team that promoted to Serie A, they are a team with rich owner which means they have a bit more deeper pockets than most clubs that promote. So expecting more from them wouldn't be really unlikely, they are looking like they are having some trouble but they are definitely not doing anything badly neither, they are looking quite good. I agree with defensive additions, because as a team that is newly promoted, if they can defend very well, as in park the bus, and not get scored on, then losing will be harder, plus having the offensive power they have, I believe counter attacking would also give them some scoring chances as well.

When you play like this, as a newly promoted team, this gives you the best chance. But for this type of strategy to work you need two things, first of all you need a defense that will rarely make mistakes and for this reason they need to get better defenders, Ramos is literally available for free, and for this to work they need to have some good wingers and striker that can run fast and keep the ball dribbling without trouble or losing. When you have these two then you are going to get a better result as well.

I wasn't expecting anything less from Juventus, though they are making a lot excuses just to try to justify their claims for not wanting Pogba back into the team, I think they are just being sceptical about the club's image not to further get the club into more scandals, perhaps they do not see any more potentials in the player and at such may have concluded to let him go. As it is right now, it is left for Paul Pogba to redeem his image by working hard wherever he might be going next and prove to the world that he is still am important player.

[HajiBagi]

Going to be a very hard game for Juventus next week against Inter.
At the current day they only have 17 players for the game.
Many players are now broken.

Inter also will probably have some missing players in a smaller amount, Chalanogulu should be their biggest missing one.
But they will play this evening so who knows what can happen about injuries.

Even if Inter Milan has an injured player Juventus can not defeat Inter Milan, Juventus is not serious this season and if any team that is serious plays against Juventus they will beat Juventus with many goals, Juventus surprised me in the Champions League against Stuttgart, I was thinking that Juventus can win the game since they are the big team they will defeat Stuttgart but Stuttgart prove me wrong by scoring a goal and get a three-point against Juventus and the worst part is that Stuttgart is playing at Juventus field and Juventus lose the game.
.
I know the champion league is different and many teams who don't have experience can not defeat any team but what I'm thinking is that Juventus's performance is poor and that is the reason why they lost the game, Stuttgart's players were not even complete if not they will even score like two goals in the match, many people lose their bet yesterday because they bet on Juventus to win the league and Juventus can't win the match, so for me even against inter Milan Juventus can not win the match.

Honestly when you are banned from playing, then talking about the situation wouldn't get you quicker result. If he went and talked everywhere about how he was innocent, then his punishment would have been still going on, but because he didn't, he got an early "parole" basically and he can play now. Obviously we are not at transfer window period, he is no longer at Juventus, but for him to play at another team, he has to end up with January transfer window first so that they would do better.

I think we are going to eventually see what kind of situation to work and this could be looking at better results and could give a better playing chance in a club for him. If he can go to a club that is willing to give him the starting position and make him play every game, I am sure he will get back in shape in a few games, not like he just stayed at home and ate pizza everyday, he probably worked out and kept in shape anyways, so I think we can see him play decently again.

Its time for a big match.

Inter Juvenuts the big match.
Who win? Who lose?

Probably Inter will win also considering the 7 missing ATM players for Juve.

Everything has its own time although it cannot be denied that previously Pogba with Juventus gave a new colour and raised his popularity but for now it will clearly be very difficult because apart from age, finances and of course the coach's plan Pogba clearly does not enter the plan built by Motta to make Juventus better.

Pogba must legowo with this because however even if he forces it it will be difficult to harm as a whole because apart from Juventus who will be constrained by their finances, Pogba will also not get a chance because Motta will not include him in the plan so for Pogba now only has to continue to focus on his training before the ban is completely lifted and get a new club to continue his career as a professional player.

Actually Paul Pogba played football in the World Cup with Manchester United. He was also known as one of the best center players in the world when he was in the Premier League. When he transferred to Juventus, there were a lot of expectations from him, but I don't remember any good games with Juventus. In fact, he was banned from football and now the big teams will have great hesitation in signing him. His next league could probably be in the Saudi Arabian League or the Turkish Super League.

Yes I never said that he was never a great player, but of what value can a player be to a club who was once a great player, but ever since got suspended due to drug abuse and has a catalogue injuries that you could use to teach biology/medicine to a school class? People can say a thousand times how great Pogba used to be half a decade ago, but those times are over. Neymar is the same thing. Brilliant player and I think everyone agrees that watching him during his prime was a lot of fun for fans. But his performance deteriorated into nothing due to his lifestyle, his acting on the field, his constant diving when he didn't even get touched, his exaggeration with tricks, his injuries... It wasn't enjoyable and fans started to shout him down even in Brazil. Pogba's time in big clubs is over as much as Messi's time is over and I would rather sign Messi as a club and pay him 15 million a year than Pogba.

Well, it is evident that avoiding say anything during suspension helps because now he can get back to the field quickly. Though he can no longer count on the Juventus and the transfer window period has not arrived, he still has another chance in January which can turn the wheel for him. However, should he sign for a club that has complete confidence in him and provides him with a starting lineup role, then his condition will not take long to heal. The training and discipline he has persisted in to now demonstrate that he is still dedicated towards sustaining such level of play, and therefore we see him go back to top notch within the next few matches.

Inter Milan 17:00 Juventus

Juventus just suffered a defeat in their UCL match against Stuttgart, because they had 1 red card. But not only that, looking at the situation, Juve does have a very good defense, only once again, their front line is not that sharp. So, maybe they can also hold Inter Milan well, but, it is difficult to score goals. A draw might be a good result for Juventus, but I am not sure about Inter, they definitely want to win.

Thiago Motta have to calmed everything down especially on his sides for heighten improvement for the club, always looking forward for the club's future. UCL is tough, Juventus just have to bounce back to winning ways because we know it's not easy for such a club that experience defeats. When an elite club records defeats, that's absolutely not the end of their stunning performance, losing full points, Juventus shocking defeats against Stuttgart, that's smooth because they have more chances to convert but failed in all goal attempts. Juventus next oppositions is Inter Milan and that's definitely an important game to watch.

[Fuso.hp]

Juventus performed well against Lazio and Juventus was ahead in all aspects, but they could not score, instead, the Italian league club secured the victory with an own goal by the opponent. Juventus should have won by at least two goals with the way they performed overall in this match. In addition to keeping the ball in their favour, they also had shots on the goal post but I noticed a weakness in their finishing position. If they had a better finisher, they could have capitalized on the chances that Juventus had. However, Juventus may have won this match with an own goal, but it is unlikely that this will happen in the next match, so they need to be more serious and perform well in the next matches and pay more attention to the finishing position.

Juventus' weakness lies in the quality of their attacking players, they still have difficulty converting chances into goals, there is no creativity, they have only scored 11 goals from 8 Serie A matches.
Although I admit that the defense line that has been built so far is very solid, but if they only rely on one side, they will have difficulty winning every match and competing for the Scudetto this season.
I think Motta already understands the shortcomings in his current team, I feel Juve must bring in a new striker in the upcoming January transfer market.

Every team has some of these problems. If some teams have a strong defense and midfield then their finishing line-up is weak and some teams have a strong midfield and finishing line but their defense is weak. Juventus have been consistently good in midfield and defense but often their main problem is finishing. The midfielders will continue to supply as much from the midfield but if the supply is cleaner then it will be easier for the strikers to score. Since these weaknesses of theirs are clear in our eyes, they should definitely give importance to these issues and enter the field in the next matches by planning how to eliminate the weaknesses. If they can't score a goal despite playing well in the whole match, then it's definitely a big failure for Juventus.

The red card occurred in the 84th minute and it should not be the only reason that made Juventus have to suffer defeat in the match because there were many opportunities for Juventus to score but the final settlement was not so good. I see the weaknesses of Juventus on the front lines and the absence of creativity that can be demonstrated by midfield for the problem of scoring opportunities.

Recognized or not the Juventus defense line is far more solid even though they lost one player but they were still able to maintain the rhythm and although in the end also conceded in the final minutes before the match was over.

Juventus currently under Motta's guidance is quite good in terms of defense and attacking rhythm but unfortunately the final execution is not good and many opportunities are wasted, it is clear that they rarely score goals above 2/3 even though the defense is solid at least they should be able to balance the attacking side but what can we do, their attackers are not good at scoring goals, only creating opportunities.

In my opinion, with the defeat against Stuttgart, they made many mistakes, one of which was that they did not rely on their home game to be haunted, but on the contrary, Stuttgart was more powerful in attacking there, so in this defeat it was only right that the Old Lady gave up because they were not optimal in this match, and the next match they had to go to Inter to continue the Serie A match. In my opinion, this defeat will be a continuation for Juventus because Inter is quite good, different from Juventus.
