Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[verdinio]

While it is true that Kevin De Bruyne is a great player and he deserved a right to still play at a top level, I think he is quickly becoming a Saudi league level player. Yes, he is very talented and there is no doubt about his skills, that's true, but his physical is getting worse and worse every day.

To be fair, it is not even about just injuries, it's about the fact that even when he played, he wasn't running enough and he was just distributing the ball without moving much, leaving huge gaps on defense and overloading defense's responsibilities. So it's smarter to get rid of him while he is out, not in the way to just sell, but to find a way to play without him while he is gone, so you do not have to put him back in when he comes back.

Kevin De Bruyne is a great player, that's true, but you can't expect to be at the highest level for a long time, this player has given so much at a young age and now it seems like he's come to Napoli for a holiday, with all due respect for the player but I don't think it's just my opinion

It was going to be a really boring day in the Serie A if it weren't for Parma - Milan.    It was an interesting coincidence that all other 3 games ended up with a 0-0 draw. I can't imagine how bettors felt about it...

By the way Milan once again lost points in an easy game on paper for them. First Pisa and now Parma... Allegri really needs to find a way out of this situation. Because if they lose unnecessary amount of points in big and small games both then they would only dream about the league title.

Even though Parma vs AC Milan match ended in a 2-2 draw, it was still a boring day in the Serie A because the four matches that were played on Saturday ended as a draw, which I believe cut a lot of bettors' tickets. Out of the four matches that ended as draws in the Serie A last week Saturday, it's Parma vs AC Milan match that surprises me the most, because Parma is an easy opponent AC Milan should have beaten.

Juventus want Zeki and Maignan. Zeki Çelik's contract with Roma expires at the end of the season. So this transfer can be completed at a very reasonable cost.
Mike Maignan's contract expires next summer and Milan could let him go as well. He hasn't renewed his contract for a long time and he wants to play in the Premier League. There are reports that Chelsea want him but Juve could also step in. He has an annual salary of 3 million Euro. Juve could pay more than that. Since there will be no transfer fee, they can go higher in this regard. I think Juve found 2 good transfer targets. They should go all the way because the club clearly needs better players.

Roma have seven wins in ten matches, but only conceded 10 goals in ten. This means they're in a good place despite many matches featuring very few goals. However, Roma now need to score goals. They need to improve their attacking performance. You can't win the Italian title with just one goal per game. They won 2-0 away at Rangers in the Europa League, which was really good, but they need a similar performance in Italy. Otherwise, they'll be nothing more than a team trying to qualify for the Champions League.

The process isn't so easy, they need to do it very well Personally, I think they're still Putting on a better show than last season. Last season, I only liked the end of the season from Roma , who seemed very confident they were going to do well, so I still have hope However, there are some very good teams, AC Milan is amazing, not to mention Napoli and Inter, the competition is tough.

Basically as a coach you would kindly walk him to the goal so he wouldn't play again if i understand correctly.
You're right about the substantial drop in performance, but instead of figuring out if there's a way to at least partially recover the player's preference to take it off, that's not a good thing in my opinion.
Personally, i would change strategy and take advantage of his experience. If he then purposely plays poorly, then in that case i would take an important action to try not to let him play again.

Roma has got a great manager in Gian Piero gasperini. Since Gasperini took over, we have seen Roma perform brilliantly. Their performance has been consistent. The most important thing is that roma are currently in  second place in the table, level on  points with Inter Milan. They have won 8 out of 11 matches. Anyway , it is also true that Roma's attacking players have performed  poorly. And it is very difficult to perform consistently well in the long term with such a  weak attacking team. So if Roma are interested in fighting for the title , they should add new talented strikers to the squad.

Absolutely. Roma's wins are valuable, but they're still struggling to score. Perhaps it's time to sign a much better striker. Therefore, Roma may have to spend a lot of money in January. They're currently pursuing the Italian title and are in a strong league. Their biggest shortcoming to a better ranking is their striker.

Kevin De Bruyne is a great player, that's true, but you can't expect to be at the highest level for a long time, this player has given so much at a young age and now it seems like he's come to Napoli for a holiday, with all due respect for the player but I don't think it's just my opinion

Transfermarkt says that De Bruyne is out until March 1. He is suffering a hamstring muscle injury and has just undergone a surgery.

Lukaku is also out until December 17 the same source says. This is double bad news for Conte of course. There is still time for especially his beloved Lukaku to recover.  

I think Conte should feel the need of new signings for the attacking line. Maybe not a forward but wingers at least.

[Adiljutt156]

In my opinion, this season's Serie A is very exciting because it is difficult to predict which team will win the Scudetto this season. Looking at the points earned by the teams ranked 1st to 4th, there is not much difference in points. Currently, Inter and Roma are in a fierce battle for the Scudetto, as both teams have 24 points. Interestingly, Roma has also lost three matches, and Inter has also lost three. Milan and Napoli, interestingly, have 22 points so far. It seems that many people are finding it difficult to predict who will win the Scudetto this season. Are you also struggling to predict who will win the Scudetto this season?However, I didn't expect Roma to perform even better this season, and it's certainly possible that Roma could win the Scudetto this season as long as Roma doesn't suffer any defeats in their matches and Inter suffers defeats in their matches. However, Inter is undoubtedly the most likely to win the Scudetto because they are currently performing the best.

Roma Football team played very well in the last matches and recently we saw match of that team against Udinese Calcio and that team won the match by doing 2 goals in this match and  opponent team could not do any goal in this match and match was ended with 2-0 which was one sided result. Pellegrini did first goal for the team and he is good attacker of the team and he did first goal at 42 minutes and that was at penalty. Çelik was a second person who did goal at 61 minutes and that was goal who bent the match to one side. Inter Milan football team played against Lazio team and that team also played well and won the match by doing 2 goals in this match as they have good attackers and good defenders.

These four teams are always competitive every season, roma are doing their best to make sure that they come outdo other teams, it's almost certain that they might win the title but with ac milan and napoli also chasing it's quite difficult to assume or conclude who the winner might be. But if I would bet on this I'll put my money on inter, they have a high chance of winning the league title this season

Yes, he is very talented and there is no doubt about his skills, that's true, but his physical is getting worse and worse every day.

Kevin De Bruyne is a great football player, he still has what it takes to play at the highest level, the Serie A where he currently plays for Napoli isn't where I thought he would have ended but due to his age and physical status that seems to be an issue for his former club Manchester city, they had to let him go. But I believe Kevin De Bruyne could still participate at any level his age not withstanding. After signing for Napoli at the begining of this season, the Belgian international hasn't being consistent this season, I guess his physique can't withstand the pressre that comes with the Serie A, sometimes you find him being sideline due to injuries as such that he suffered while playing for Manchester city.

Roma playing better this season? They have lost their ENTIRE attack during the last two weeks! Dybala, Dovbyk, Ferguson, Bailey - all lost. We are talking about a team that was already finding it hard to score (12 goals out of 13.5 xG) and now they have no one to even miss. Once a team is stripped of its spine in this manner, clean sheets are irrelevant



And those 6 clean sheets that everybody is talking about? They are constructed based on an 86.5% save percentage which cannot possibly be sustained. The regression is approaching, and it will be bitter

Inter is the only club which has substance. Well, they are performing a bit hot as of now (they are scoring 5.5 goals higher than xG), but the underlying statistics are solid - 8.7 xGA is quite elite. And even better they are the only Italian team not embarrassing themselves in Europe as they juggle the Serie A

The question is, will Roma's management allow Gasperini to sign more expensive players?

It's no surprise that Roma is one of the teams with very tight finances, and even under Mourinho, Roma's management didn't allow the coach to sign high priced players with better talent. That's why I doubt Roma will bring in new players with more quality talent.

IMO, Roma doesn't really need to sign a better striker, but at least a winger who can support Dovbyk or Dybala to build a more potent attack.

Kevin De Bruyne will later be a very important signing for Napoli. To win the Serie A you need to be able to hold on strong until the very end. Last season Napoli had to win it at the last lap and a player like Kevin De Bruyne will be very important for Napoli where and when it matters.
There is no pressure on him he is a vastly experienced midfielder and he is also a very intelligent player so I believe he did not make a poor move going to the Italian club.

With the current situation that Roman finds themselves the best option is not through signing of top players Roma should build a team around young players that will cost less and also promote some of their academy players to the main team. This is the best way in building a sustainable team that can last long and compete for trophies not by buying expensive players.

[Webetcoins]

Roma has indeed been competing fiercely for the title this season. In fact, Roma and Inter Milan currently have the same number of points, namely 24 points. And the third and fourth-place teams also have the same number of points. These four clubs can easily swap positions quickly based on the results of just one week's matches. A single mistake or loss can change where these clubs stand in the current standings. This is actually more exciting and more intense than last season. Last season, only Inter Milan and Napoli were competing this closely. Now, even all the teams in the top five have point totals that are not far apart. Yet we have already entered the 11th match, which is actually close to the midpoint of the season.

While I respect Roma to move from bottom of the table last season around the same time, to get better by the end of last season and now being able to say that they are battling for the title, because that is a huge achievement, I still have to say we have a lot of games left. They can be as low as fourth place by the end of the season, while I do not expect them to do that, I still think it's clear that we are seeing them not be that great.

So focus on what is great and maybe Roma could be in UCL and that is more than enough to say that they have improved. Consistently going to UCL every single year would make a team good enough to win the title eventually. Meanwhile, they can focus on third place, or second place and even the title eventually.

Hiring global stars is not the way Roma can go at the moment due to financial constraints and necessity to balance the budget. One possible solution that can be taken as realistic is the focus on the development of youth and encouraging the players of reserve team. Through this strategy, the club can develop its own rating of players gradually, and reduce the excessive expenditure which only increases the debt.

I think for now all Roma need is to grow greater confidence because after all we can see for now they are already in the best condition just a little finishing for finishing then everything will feel more perfect.

The presence of the new coach makes the situation feel very good, it's just that it's difficult for Roma to stay in a stable condition when the situation is still not too controlled for a good finisher.
There's no need to look for expensive, big-money players because they just need to find the right players for the job.

AS Roma may need to explore alternative solutions to build better squad depth going forward, such as loan options or signing players on free transfers. I think if AS Roma qualify for the Champions League next season, they will have more freedom in the transfer market. For now, Gasperini must rely on all the players available, and I think AS Roma have performed well in the Scudetto race.

We know that many Serie A clubs are facing financial difficulties at the moment, which means they have little chance of signing star players. Meanwhile, with the current squad depth AS Roma have, it is not impossible for them to win the Scudetto. AS Roma have collected 24 points, the same as Inter Milan, who are currently at the top of the Serie A standings.

Kevin De Bruyne is a great player, that's true, but you can't expect to be at the highest level for a long time, this player has given so much at a young age and now it seems like he's come to Napoli for a holiday, with all due respect for the player but I don't think it's just my opinion

At 34 years old, he is indeed no longer in his prime. But for sure, his performance is still quite considered, to strengthen Napoli so far. Napoli needs someone like him, especially as an AMF. At least for Napoli, so far, from the 11 matches he played, he contributed 4 goals and also 2 assists. Not only that, his accuracy, shots, and also his passes, playmaking in the line-up, also have an impact on Napoli. Likewise, his performance at the World Cup with his national team, de Bruyne is still quite productive. It's just that lately, Napoli's performance has been quite down, but this doesn't rely on de Bruyne alone, but the whole squad and also the coach, Conte.
