Inter 2 Napoli 1

Is Inter struggling? If you answer yes, then you’re not very familiar with the success of Jose Mourinho. A team managed by Mourinho is only struggling when the year is done and they have no trophies to add to their collection. Currently Inter are first in Serie A and first in their [...]
Category: Team NewsCalcio Debate: 3-5-2 vs. 4-4-2
By: Neil | 3 Comments
It seems that almost every Napoli fan wants the team to change from the 3-5-2 we’ve been using for more than two years to an orthodox 4-4-2. In the past I’ve argued that the 3-5-2 hasn’t hurt us, but now I am beginning to change my mind. I want to hear from both [...]

Napoli 2 Cagliari 2
I really don’t know what to make of this game. Napoli was average, and didn’t deserve to win, but were in position to do so until the 95th minute. Cagliari was average, and didn’t deserve a draw, but snatched one at the death. In fact, if Lavezzi hadn’t scored [...]

If there are any positives from Napoli’s 3-1 defeat to Atalanta, it’s that our main rivals for the last Champions League spot – Lazio, Fiorentina, and Udinese – all lost as well. Napoli was outplayed, Zalayeta was foolishly sent off, and Reja made some funny substitutions. When Manfredini’s 89th minute free kick [...]

With Juve and Inter having already won, and Milan playing at home to Chievo, Napoli need three points to keep pace at the top. Games like these are a real thorn in the side. Although Napoli have nine more points than Atalanta, it’s still a difficult trip up north to face a side [...]
