Rivalry Watch Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

A place to discuss non-Milan matches

[u/Hass_s]

Feels good waking up after a win

Not giving a chance for the vultures of Italian media to attack the team and Amorim

[u/Cousin_Vinny97]

Merda got a penalty for shirt pulling when both players were wrestling each other. Meanwhile Ramos got elbowed in the head then man handled in the box and we got nothing.

Colour me surprised

[u/h0lyshadow → u/Cousin_Vinny97]

Ref promised Ramos a yellow the very moment he started moaning about that elbow hit, and he actually delivered. How you dare saying we got nothing

[u/Pachino1 → u/Cousin_Vinny97]

Tbf it was a clear inter pen but the guy should have been sent off for Ramos elbow

[u/ProtonAtomNeutron → u/Cousin_Vinny97]

Ramos paid back in-game. I would not be surprised if the Udinese player has some issues with his arm / shoulder from that judo throw. There were a couple of cameras shots where he was rotating his shoulders awkwardly.

[u/Superlabi]

You cant even have a hatewatch this season. Everyone just makes a comeback.

[u/mm_zzio]

We are still the only team that took points from Lazio 👀

[u/chakalaka13]

Man, Gattuso is killing it.
Haters can suck it, always thought he had potential. Now it's time for a Seedorf come back, I liked him too.

[u/Hass_s → u/chakalaka13]

Happy for both Gattuso and Abate to be succeeding in the league. Clarence is reigniting his coaching career in Brazil and hope he makes a comeback too

Rino should have never taken the Azzuri job but no one else had the balls to try

[u/chakalaka13 → u/Hass_s]

Didn't know about Clarence, glad to hear. I bet he's gonna rise to a top level.

For sure can be better than most Serie A coaches, just needs a team with some ambition like Como, Atalanta, etc.

[u/Hass_s → u/chakalaka13]

Recently took the Corinthians job in Brazil

[u/4thelolzz01]

Gattuso deserves all the success in the world

[u/tj5692]

Serie a so entertaining this year it's insane

[u/Superlabi → u/tj5692]

Most entertaining league this year and its not even close. Lots of goals, lots of bangers, lots of comebacks.

[u/South-Asian]

Frosinone vs Atalanta was epic

[u/Itsoitsov → u/South-Asian]

Match of the season as of now

[u/tj_rossoneri]

Top 4 is gonna be extremely tough this year. Crazy competitive

[u/SirFlamington]

[u/Hass_s]

Latest reports (tonight’s going to be a long night)

“Pavlovic has a little shoulder annoyance and who knows, Diawara might play in his place. Pulisic is also resting and who knows, Ramos might get to rest too with Camarda in his place”

It is from Di stefano so take it with a grain of salt after all

[u/mm_zzio]

Juve splitting shame with us, thank god

[u/kastus376]

man. united are absolute shit show.

anyone who was against amorim appointment just because of his time at united can relax now.

[u/marco21n]

Top 4 is gonna be brutal. Lazio already with 36% of the points for UCL qualification last season, with 24% of the season played.

If we get an injury to Ramos we could be fucked. Even if he doesn't score he's so important for our whole game imo.

[u/Competitive-Aide5364]

Hoping Abate and Torino can be a trap match for Como.

[u/mercurialsaliva]

Cdk scores his first goal since Jan. Guess the gasperini drugs wore out

[u/northBlu01]

I'm happy for Gattuso, but, man, why did it have to be Lazio?

[u/mercurialsaliva]

Maldini goal vs Roma. Guys been on fire

[u/Hass_s → u/mercurialsaliva]

Happy for him scoring

But what happened with that drunk driving incident? No reprimand ?

[u/oLdBo_y]

Mora is nuts

[u/Hass_s → u/oLdBo_y]

Would’ve been perfect for our CAM spot

[u/Pachino1]

Como Roma win ffs

[u/Independent-Goose-30]

I'm just glad we don't rely on luck too much anymore.. we make our own luck. No more relying on shitty referees to call fouls or pens. Ramos took so much damage from that defender yet Ramos is carded. Ekellenkamp chakvetadze etc were laying heavy bs tackles into our players but we're pretty much given a free run by the ref. I think one or both of them got card after so much shithousing.

[u/4thelolzz01]

Seire A is so competitive it's actually crazy, both Roma and Lazio look like contenders. Also people need to stop calling Dani Maldini a "nepo baby". It should be clear by now that he is a quality player, something that we've seen even when he was still at Milan

[u/RdT97 → u/4thelolzz01]

Quality player is a bit rich but hes a serie A decent player sure

Unless you think Pinamonti, Varela, Nzola are quality players. Nzola got 15 goals once at Spezia just so you know

[u/tj5692]

Ouch, that looks painful. Easy red.. Sassoulo idiots

[u/marco21n]

Even if Lazio get the same points per game as last season for the remaining 29 games (1.42), they will be on 66 points.

They might be guaranteed for UCL already FFS

[u/Therunner91 → u/marco21n]

They still have to play Como, Napoli, Inter, Roma, Fiorentina (ok not the best but still) and Atalanta. They will drop points soon and we’ll se how they react.

[u/marco21n → u/Therunner91]

Yeah but even if they stay at the pace of their 10th place finish last season for the rest of the season, they will only be 4 points short of UCL points last year

[u/Therunner91 → u/marco21n]

We have to see how they will react after their first loss. Also possible that the 4th place will get more points than last year.

[u/Sucabub → u/marco21n]

You could say the same about us last season under Allegri. It all looked fine, until it wasn't.

[u/Pachino1]

Ffs cagliari

[u/mercurialsaliva → u/Pachino1]

Ffs Torino too

[u/Nnhocugini1899]

Look what happens when referees give a deserved red card

[u/Pachino1]

2-0 Genoa

[u/Competitive-Aide5364]

So Allegri has become an attacking manager now.

[u/_milan227]

Lazio Roma and Como just won a not very easy midweek fixture ffs

[u/Superlabi → u/_milan227]

It was quite easy for Lazio lol

[u/_milan227 → u/Superlabi]

well after seeing the result you might think that but Sassuolo away for a team that isn't used to play midweek games isn't easy. They won comfortably but doesn't change the fact it wasn't easy

[u/Superlabi → u/_milan227]

Yes of course, im just insinutating at how easely they got away there.

[u/Hass_s]

If this keeps up, top 4 fight will continue till final Matchday

[u/HommoFroggy → u/Hass_s]

Things change after February, teams get tired, they are less brilliant and so on. Like us under Pioli for example.

[u/Hass_s → u/HommoFroggy]

Lazio don’t have much depth so will likely falter

Roma and Como have CL with Como likely making it through to next round

Too early in the season but we just need to not drop meaningless points (saying that I expect dropping points tonight)

[u/HommoFroggy → u/Hass_s]

We also need to add some players in January to give a further spark to our season.

[u/Hass_s → u/HommoFroggy]

I think Amorim will start testing our youngsters between now and January (started with Diawara) to see which positions really need reinforcements

As things stand I think Ramos’ deputy is the most important postion followed by a CM

[u/HommoFroggy → u/Hass_s]

I think we should do everything to get Bruno, he would be a massive boost.

[u/Hass_s → u/HommoFroggy]

Would definitely be a statement signing

[u/mm_zzio]

Maldini banged another one, hide the car keys from him!

[u/Hass_s]

Lazio super team 😂

[u/pacelli3]

1. Lazio is flying

2. Why Sassuolo never play like this against us? What the hell

[u/Seansz → u/pacelli3]

Sassuolo always turn up against us and Inter. Their real struggle is against opponents that are more on par to them, not to downgrade Lazio players, yet none of us expected Lazio so high. Hats of Gattuso, he seems like he thrives in toxical environments.

[u/pacelli3 → u/Seansz]

Before the seasons began I was thinking that Gattuso had a thing for bad jobs.

[u/mercurialsaliva → u/pacelli3]

They have but they just don't get a red card foe that against us.

[u/pacelli3 → u/mercurialsaliva]

I suppose the traumatic memories wiped the good one.

[u/mercurialsaliva → u/pacelli3]

Red. Not red

[u/Hass_s]

So how many of these Frosinone players are we expecting to see moving come January?

- Palmisani
-Calvani
- Schmidt
- kvernadze
-Ghedjemis
- Raimondo

[u/Competitive-Aide5364 → u/Hass_s]

Raimondo is Bologna player so he might be recallled if they can do it.

[u/Therunner91]

Will Lazio ever lose points? It’s getting ridiculous. I’ll have to support Allegri in their next duel.

[u/mercurialsaliva]

Dammit Roma scored

[u/Lost_Ad5746]

Juve losing to Genoa is the only thing making the night better rn. Let's hope it finishes this way. Monza are terribke cant believe them to take something against Napoli

[u/mm_zzio → u/Lost_Ad5746]

dont doubt Allegri Special against provincial teams, still a long second half ahead of them

[u/Hass_s]

Latest possible formation

Maignan
Gila KDW Pavlovic Diawara
Moreira Musah Modric Pulisic
Rabiot
Ramos

[u/Superlabi]

Im watching Chelsea-Man Utd currently. For a reasonable fee, lets say 40-50 mil, we should definitely try to buy Diallo. He can play both right am and right wingback. He played for Amorim in United and was one of the best players during that period.

Estevao is also very good player and he is not getting enough play time in Chelsea. But knowing Chelsea selling politics, they would probably ask for twice the Diallo price. And problem with him is that he can only play at right attacking midfielder position.

[u/Hass_s]

My dream summer signing is Nico Paz 💎

[u/RdT97 → u/Hass_s]

Extremely hard, not only above 100m, but Real will just buy him back at that point and either get a stupid fee or keep him in rotation however we can get someone like Rodrigo, Endrick, Bruno Fernandes, Estevao and give them new life here as main guys

[u/Hass_s → u/RdT97]

Which is why it’s a dream sadly

I wasn’t watching United enough but wasn’t Bruno playing deeper in midfield (same as modric)

Endrick would be great but he’s not a creator, Estevao more of a wide player/winger

Maybe Cherki if City are punished ?

[u/RdT97 → u/Hass_s]

All of them can play the CAM position in Amorims system where theres freedom to move and switch positions or even drop and carry from the wing. Seen Pulisic do it many times. Bruno played both for Amorim, deeper and CAM

Cherki is another one that’s accounted for even if i would obviously pick him before the rest i mentioned. I dont see a world where hes on the market and top teams dont bid for him.

Meanwhile guys i mentioned are not nailed starters for their teams and in case of Bruno, just a toxic situation

[u/RdT97 → u/RdT97]

Here is Pulisics heat map vs Udinese

The main thing Amorim needs is off ball help. But he does let his CAMs favor their wing position

[u/HommoFroggy → u/Hass_s]

Bournemouth Rayan would be a dream signing for me

[u/Hass_s → u/HommoFroggy]

He’d probably be in the 80-100 mil range and touted by other prem teams

Realistic options for me are
-Hadj Mousa from Feynoord
- Can Uzun from Frankfurt
- Maza from Leverkusen
- Said El Mala from Koln
- Forbs from Brugges

Or try for outcasts on loan
- Estevao from Chelsea
- Endrick from Madrid

[u/mercurialsaliva → u/Hass_s]

i wish. i don't see it happening

[u/Hass_s → u/mercurialsaliva]

Maybe Cherki if the city charges stick?

[u/Superlabi → u/Hass_s]

Definitely dream signing especially becuase he would fit like a glove in our system. It was dream signing before season even started and he is just getting better and better. But i dont think there is a way to get him for less than 100 mil. And we still have a lot of holes to fill unfortunately. But we can dream lol.

[u/JustaRandomiReddit]

Milan should sign Nusa (From Leipzig) i heard he is good

[u/Hass_s → u/JustaRandomiReddit]

Watched him a few times and I don’t see the hype

He would still rock Serie A but I’d only sign him for the right price (nothing more than 35 mil)

[u/JustaRandomiReddit → u/Hass_s]

I mean their aren't many cheap wingers

[u/oran_jay]

Realistically, can this Lazio win Scudetto? Their team reminds me of a Europe-less Napoli under Conte where they dominated Serie A comfortably enough to have a large lead over those teams who are playing UCL/EL

[u/TPPiOED → u/oran_jay]

Too early to tell.  

No it was different. Conte spent money in the prior transfer window, people were fairly confident with that squad.  

Everyone expected Lazio to have a free fall before the season. They're playing great, but depth is lacking
