None of our international players saw any action over the weekend. Hamsik was an unused sub in Slovakia’s 3-1 win over San Marino – he may have been rested for Wednesday’s more important game against Poland – while Santacroce, Maggio, and Gargano did not even make the bench.

Genoa – Napoli 3-2
Just like our loss to Benfica on Thursday, there is no shame in losing to a quality side on the road. But for the second straight game, our management team has resorted to excuses like bad luck and a bad ref to cover up obvious defensive problems.
