Serie A 2016/17 Matchday Chat

So we go a goal down and PIoli subs off both strikers, and puts in Palacio for Icardi. 

This season is lost. 

[Eco]

Jesus, Lazio is up 7-2 on Sampdoria. 

[Eco]

Definitely a hand ball. Extended arm in the box. 

Inter PK attempt to tie this shit game up. 

And missed. 

Fuck...

[Eco]

Kono just sent off with a straight red for dissent???????

Pioli has to go - This is embarrassing. 

[Eco]

Lazio win 7-3 against Sampdoria. 

[Eco]

Genoa end their horrendous losing streak with a win against Inter. 

Could this get any worse?

 

 

 

[Eco]

Roma vs Milan later to wrap up this weekend. Hopefully, Roma will absolutely annihilate  A.C. and salvage my sports weekend.

Confirmed Lineups for Milan vs Roma - 

[Stan]

Looking forward to seeing Deulofeu once again. Game-changing player. 

Surprised Lapadula starts. Is Bacca injured?

Haven't heard anything about him being injured. 

[Stan]

what a hit by Dzeko. Curled finish from the edge of the box. Great start for Roma. 0-1. 

[Eco]

Wow - Salah makes a great play and Dzeko finishes it off. Unstoppable. 

 

1-0 Roma

[Eco]

Donna with a great save to keep Milan in this. 

Roma are really finding it rather simple to break down Milan's defense. 

[Stan]

Dzeko with the brace! header from a corner. Milan with an uphill task now!

[Eco]

Dzeko is making his case for the Capocannoniere.

Keep the coming Roma. 

Milan 0 - 2 Roma

[Stan]

Roma seeing out the victory now. AC Milan did pull one back but El Shaarawy made it 3-1 almost immediately. De Rossi just scored a penalty too. 4-1. 

[Eco]

Milan will be out of Europe for their 4th consecutive year...how crazy is that?!?!

With the Coppa Italia Final being Juventus Vs Lazio, 4th - 6th will all get Europa League spots.

Yes, which is pretty standard. It's just odd thinking that AC hasn't qualified for European competitions for 3 consecutive years. 

[ScoRoss]

They need to take the Europa League seriously as well, if they want to regain any assemblance of a coefficient. Something other Italian clubs have failed to do in recent times.

[Eco]

They do - I would love to see the Europa teams make some kind of impact, but it just hasn't been the case. If it weren't for Juve, we would be a severely deficient league.

those 2 Saturday fixtures look tasty. Lazio hitting form at the right time.

if Milan want any chance of Europe they have to beat Atalanta, who are also chasing Lazio. 

And then Roma vs Juve on Sunday evening!

Yes - both games on Saturday could be good. Couldn't imagine a scenario where Atalanta don't pick up all 3 points at home against an awful playing Milan side.

As for Inter, there is some glimmer of hope that we qualify for the Europa League, and if we are going to, it has to start this week and Milan will have to beat Atalanta. Since that is probably not happening, my new goal for this team is to jump Milan in the standings. A win here and a Milan loss would do just that.

[Eco]

Lazio and Fiorentina are tied 0-0 at HT.
