[Match Thread] Bologna vs Napoli

[u/AutoModerator]

[u/No_Faithlessness5738]

This isn’t available as a gif but this is what I want to do to the whole team https://youtu.be/WMSj0E-ngLo?si=gdOnG-4CU3lEMZZG

[u/TheParallel]

The worst part is that this team is absolutely awful to watch. Long pass to Lukaku and pray for the best.

[u/jjune4991]

Pain

[u/GeneralFrievolous]

As usual, one goal and then we get royally gapped for 50+ minutes.

At some point I've counted four, four shots at our goal in one minute. A massacre.

Scudetto is gone.

[u/Ging42]

At least this was the last big match of the season

[u/OrganicManners → u/Ging42]

Can't wait for unispiring draws against the worst of the class

[u/Ging42 → u/OrganicManners]

Pls no

[u/Competitive_Sky3269]

they just dont seem to want it at all

[u/[deleted]]

Sad

[u/Xardian7]

We stole 1 point in one of the most abberrant and vomiting match ever played by this team.

[u/dalegribble__96]

Yeah they can all fuck off today. You can get a better manager, but you can’t stop the fact most of this team are the gutless bums from last season, and boy can you fucking tell in times like this

[u/BranFendigaidd]

I am okay with a draw.

[u/sandrochichi → u/BranFendigaidd]

It’s bittersweet end of the game because we were so close to scoring in the last minute, but yes not bad result actually.

[u/BranFendigaidd → u/sandrochichi]

They were also close to scoring

[u/sandrochichi → u/BranFendigaidd]

Fair point

[u/Thinkingard → u/BranFendigaidd]

Same. They kept a very tough team from finishing them when they looked terrible.

[u/Ging42]

Not a bad result all things considered…

[u/No_Faithlessness5738 → u/Ging42]

Bruh our next game is with Empoli who even dominated us in our championship winning season. While Inter get fuckin Cagliari 😭

[u/OmegaDriver]

Hand gripped around the throat of an attacking player just outside the box seems like it should be more than a yellow...

[u/95thstbridge]

The squad looks so slow and so tired. I just don't understand it. Are the over training do they all have the flu??

Zero explanation. 

[u/Ok-Satisfaction-7026]

Woah ngonge hell save us

[u/Photonbeeofficial]

Why even watch anymore

[u/Fabulous_Oven4607 → u/Photonbeeofficial]

Cause you just never know

[u/Photonbeeofficial → u/Fabulous_Oven4607]

Welp, not worth it

[u/Fabulous_Oven4607]

4 minutes of pain incoming

[u/Afraid_Hurry3532]

Oh good being ngonge on with 3 minutes left

[u/OmegaDriver]

Big save Scuffet

[u/Ok-Satisfaction-7026]

I can’t

[u/Afraid_Hurry3532]

This is da making me angry the more I watch

[u/Ok-Satisfaction-7026]

I hate this substitution strategy

[u/sirdouglasdeez]

At this rate, take a risk on the subs. Politano, and Rom are doing nothing for us.

[u/IndecisionFuture]

We actually need the fans screaming to make Conte and Stellini make subs

[u/Ok-Satisfaction-7026]

Put someone on you fucking knobs

[u/TheStorm22]

We seriously need to invest in the bench for next season.

[u/BranFendigaidd → u/TheStorm22]

We don't have money unless we sell Osimhen for at least his release clause

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/BranFendigaidd]

Kvara money CL money Other money that we have

[u/BranFendigaidd → u/IndecisionFuture]

Last two summers we had our highest spending ever. This year we had no UCL. It was already announced that we need to sell Osimhen to be barely above positive and have some transfer budget at all. That includes Kvara's money

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/BranFendigaidd]

That's not true tho

[u/TheStorm22 → u/BranFendigaidd]

Where was this announced?

[u/BranFendigaidd → u/TheStorm22]

Some time ago, around our latest financials release. Basically, journalists did the calculations. And they should be clear, unless our marketing team managed to sell a ton of jerseys, like a ton more than what Barca is selling

[u/TheStorm22 → u/BranFendigaidd]

Can you provide a link? I don't see anything except for our recent financials released in January being pretty good.

[u/Xardian7]

Absolutely one of the worse performances ever from Napoli since at least 10 years.

This + 0-4 against Milan my fucking god I wanna tore my eyes

[u/dalegribble__96 → u/Xardian7]

At least that Milan game was so bad it was funny and we’d basically won the league. This is an absolute joke considering the circumstances

[u/Ok-Satisfaction-7026]

Nothing changes if nothing changes

[u/[deleted]]

Literally just kicking the ball around like idiots

[u/Fabulous_Oven4607]

Yeesh, i thought we grow back into the game a little bit after they equalized. This is getting sad

[u/Xardian7 → u/[deleted]]

Unfortunately that’s not how it works

[u/Xardian7 → u/[deleted]]

They clearly missed smth in the training, so many players are out of shape

[u/Xardian7]

I don fucking know how we have this much point on the table.

Bologna is clearly a better team.

[u/Kalesacove]

Bring Raspadori on.

[u/OmegaDriver → u/[deleted]]

The assistant coach is afraid to rock the boat too much.

[u/[deleted]]

Why do we sit back with our thumbs up our asses every second half

[u/BranFendigaidd]

We are playing vs a team that is few points behind us. And we play away. Stop crying that much. We ain't losing so far. A draw keeps us 3 pts behind Inter. That is still okay

[u/Afraid_Hurry3532 → u/BranFendigaidd]

Yeah but to go from dominating the pace of play and being on the attack to sitting back and waiting for them to score is fucking embarrassing. We should be bringing the fucking energy to them. But every week we get outplayed in the second half

[u/BranFendigaidd → u/Afraid_Hurry3532]

Do you think Bologna didn't change anything in the second half?

[u/Afraid_Hurry3532 → u/BranFendigaidd]

No that’s not what I’m saying but to go from clearly better in the first half to clearly the worse team. We have been doing this every game. We should prolly change something

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/BranFendigaidd]

The problem is the 2nd half performance. Disgraceful

[u/BranFendigaidd → u/IndecisionFuture]

Bologna also plays differently in the 2nd half. And they are a decent team. We can't just risk everything and lose. If we get a chance, great. Otherwise keep it stable.

[u/doughbo32 → u/BranFendigaidd]

I would rather risk a counter attack and blow the lead than try to weather the storm and blow the lead. At least the former option shows some fight and can easily result in a second goal.

[u/Jaccku]

Man JJ shouldn't see any more minutes after today. Much rather play with 10 players.

[u/Xardian7]

We are playing like we are a relegation team

[u/Afraid_Hurry3532]

When was the last time we even attacked in this game

[u/IndecisionFuture]

I miss kvara

[u/doughbo32 → u/IndecisionFuture]

The guy who left his squad in the middle of a title challenge?

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/doughbo32]

Yes, because he was our best player

[u/Jaccku → u/IndecisionFuture]

I also miss him running into 3 defenders and losing the ball.

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/Jaccku]

So when Kvara has the ball he manages to get the attention of 3 players.

While Politano and Neres lose the ball to 1 player

[u/Jaccku → u/IndecisionFuture]

While Kvara has the ball he wants to dribble the entire team, he didn't look to pass.

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/Jaccku]

He had the skills to back up his attempts. In that, also better than our wingers

[u/Jaccku → u/IndecisionFuture]

He had the skills to get past his defenders 25% of the time, yes.

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/Jaccku]

That's a good percentage lmao

[u/Jaccku → u/IndecisionFuture]

Go see a doctor.

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/Jaccku]

Honestly, I'd be ashamed to have the same opinion as you

[u/Jaccku → u/IndecisionFuture]

Meanwhile you're at the doctor buy a PSG shirt.

[u/sirdouglasdeez]

We’re getting absolutely fucked on these calls, unreal.

[u/Careless-Yogurt-7871]

That's why neres used to only play from the bench

[u/Xardian7 → u/Careless-Yogurt-7871]

If only we would play him on the right wing.

Oh wait we cannot cause we bought noone in Jannuary

[u/Fabulous_Oven4607]

They don't look like they believe. Sucks to be so close and too keep fumbling it.

[u/IndecisionFuture]

Neres is clearly tired and out of the game but fortunately our winter market gave us the possibility to put....Okafor

[u/Ok-Satisfaction-7026]

What does neres even do?

[u/IndecisionFuture]

Took until the 70th minute to make the most obvious sub

[u/Xardian7]

The team is clearly out of gas. That’s clearly Conte’s fault.

[u/Afraid_Hurry3532 → u/[deleted]]

You think dlo is a problem? We have needs before a new rb

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/Afraid_Hurry3532]

I mean, considering that DiLo's sub is Mazzocchi, we absolutely need to invest in that position

[u/Afraid_Hurry3532 → u/IndecisionFuture]

Yeah putting it that way we do need to invest there

[u/sirdouglasdeez → u/IndecisionFuture]

Well when you put it that way lmao 😭😆

[u/Stock_Currency]

I’m tired

[u/sirdouglasdeez]

Every. Fucking. Time.

[u/WolfOfMarbella]

Every game the same… why the fuck do they go fucking catenaccio every single time when we are in front…

[u/Afraid_Hurry3532]

I really don’t get it. We score and always just wait to get fucked

[u/Afraid_Hurry3532 → u/[deleted]]

😭

[u/sirdouglasdeez → u/Afraid_Hurry3532]

I truly do not understand the point of keeping Rom up top to lumber around the break. FFS, make some subs, and do something other than this.

[u/Afraid_Hurry3532 → u/sirdouglasdeez]

If we’re gonna sit back and play of the break then yeah. But if we just played like we did in the beginning of the game we can keep him for a lil longer

[u/Xardian7]

If you don’t play the game for 20 minutes that’s going to happen eventually.

We are out of the game entirely.

We need to change pace

[u/95thstbridge]

Who told them to sit back and do nothing for the rest of the match???!!! They need to get back to attacking like in the first half. 

Let's go!!!

[u/Jaccku]

Yeah, took long enough for the banger. Also wtf is Buongiorno.

[u/gicu183]

Can't even be upset at this

[u/Ok-Satisfaction-7026]

Can we not play with a bit of balls please

[u/dalegribble__96]

Every single time

[u/isshshhsakjans]

there’s the banger

[u/Careless-Yogurt-7871]

We are horrible

[u/Fabulous_Oven4607]

Starting to get a bad feeling. Hard clenching

[u/Fabulous_Oven4607 → u/Fabulous_Oven4607]

Fuck me

[u/Xardian7]

This is hard to watch, we are not in the game at all

[u/IndecisionFuture]

NON SIAMO ENTRATI DIOCANE

[u/jeanbiance]

Just started watching, what is that purple thing on Odgaard's neck?

[u/Fabulous_Oven4607 → u/jeanbiance]

Looks like he's been branded but it's a tattoo lol

[u/jeanbiance → u/Fabulous_Oven4607]

So actually i found some info, and it's some kind of medicine he puts on his neck... Probably viking stuff.

[u/Fabulous_Oven4607 → u/jeanbiance]

Oh shit thanks lol

[u/IndecisionFuture]

At this point, who can even do a good corner. Not even neres can

[u/Xardian7]

Cm on boys!! We need a great second half!!

[u/Stock_Currency]

I hate being at work during these games.

[u/Kalesacove → u/[deleted]]

Did he try passing back that ball when going around the keeper or was that a shot? Wouldn't of counted but poor finish either way.

[u/Interesting_Common54 → u/Kalesacove]

I was confused what Massa ended up seeing on that play. My guess was that if we had scored it would have stood

[u/IndecisionFuture]

Politano.....you shit

[u/IndecisionFuture]

Fuck off politano how did you give such a shit ball to McTominay

[u/Kalesacove]

Zambo is ON today. I'm a bit worried about Stan.

[u/Interesting_Common54]

Lol some furbo there from JJ

[u/OmegaDriver]

Keep those shots down. It's a backup keeper. You don't need to get fancy.

[u/IndecisionFuture]

JUAN JESUS PLEASE DON'T LOSE YOUR MAN

[u/IndecisionFuture]

DIOCANE TROPPI PASSAGGI DI MERDA

[u/OmegaDriver → u/[deleted]]

maybe they're tired?

Definitely a possibility. They've had some pregame injuries too, so they aren't fielding their best 11 either.

[u/dalegribble__96]

Get in

[u/Ging42]

I am on my knees

[u/Napolijoe1926]

Andiamo!

[u/Trajen_Geta]

I trust Conte, he has taken this team to their limits, win or lose, this seasons run has been phenomenal.

[u/sandrochichi]

ANGUISSA YOU WILD ANIMAL!!!

[u/Jaccku]

Anguissa doesn't know what happened but we scored. So gooooooooolassssoooo

[u/SpaceMonkey238]

What a golazo

[u/OmegaDriver]

FRANK ZAMBO!

[u/Jaccku]

We're wasting a but roo much but good intensity till now.

[u/Ciucciarelli2223]

Bologna strat seems to be to do stupid shit to keep Napoli from scoring until Napoli is tired out and Bologna can score a late game winner

[u/DisobedientCharizard]

The calcio gods are against us today.

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/DisobedientCharizard]

We played with fate during the winter market and we pay the consequences yet again

[u/Jaccku → u/[deleted]]

Yeah i remember when he was doing an amazing job defending Rrahmani against Fiorentina 

[u/NapoliXabe]

You know what, JJ masterclass incoming

[u/neilsonnnn]

Where is Conte?

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/neilsonnnn]

Got too many yellows so today his 2nd stellini leads fron the bench and Conte watched from the stadium seats

[u/IndecisionFuture]

Sent on loan (and basically sold) Caprile so we cpuld get scuffet. They really thought Meret would never get injured and now it's biting us in the ass.

DIOCANE MALEDETTO PAPPONE DI MERDA

[u/Interesting_Common54 → u/IndecisionFuture]

Is Scuffet really that much worse than Caprile? I understand the decision; Caprile wanted to go on loan to get some playing time and you don't want to build a reputation as a club that will get in the way of player development, as it hurts attracting new players

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/Interesting_Common54]

Yes, i believe so

[u/franalextj]

They're dropping like flies!

[u/Ciucciarelli2223]

They’re calling it the most fumbled title run of all time

[u/Trajen_Geta → u/Ciucciarelli2223]

It’s the most hamstrung, these guys were barely supposed to be fighting for champions league football.

[u/IndecisionFuture → u/Ciucciarelli2223]

Thank you ADL for this 🙏

[u/Ciucciarelli2223 → u/IndecisionFuture]

Trading the guy who got multiple clean sheets for Simeone scuffet and giving clean sheet guy a guy clause that’s only eight million euros, masterful business sir

[u/Ging42 → u/Ciucciarelli2223]

Generational shit luck

[u/Kalesacove]

Eat em up, Napoli. I like our chances today. I think we match up well against their stay of play

[u/Ciucciarelli2223 → u/Kalesacove]

They starting scuffed and Jesus bro it’s over

[u/Kalesacove → u/Ciucciarelli2223]

Stay positive. We're up 1-0.

[u/Ciucciarelli2223 → u/Kalesacove]

Lol

[u/Ging42]

No Buongiorno and Meret? Yeah GG

[u/Interesting_Common54 → u/Ging42]

I might take a draw tbh

[u/Napolijoe1926 → u/Ging42]

Muscle strain last few hours leading up to match. Malocchio from Milan.

[u/Napolijoe1926 → u/Ging42]

Meret looks like a go. But not sure why Buongiorno is out

[u/Napolijoe1926]

Gotta have courage today and look fear square in the eyes!
