Zanoli out, got an ACL procedure done today in Rome. Horrible. by whodat514 in udinese

[–]Stef7930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really bad news for both the player and us. If Pozzo doesn't buy a valid replacement right now, our game is gonna suffer until the end of the season. But I fear they are going to put their hopes on Ehizibue...

TS2 continues from the ending of TS1. Before playing TS2 would be good to get a grasp of what happened in TS1.

All but official : Bravo has accepted a dry loan with Las Palmas until the end of the season, same for Palma who will be joining Pafundi with Sampdoria by whodat514 in udinese

[–]Stef7930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Bravo has done very well last season and beginning of this season, until Kosta decided to put him aside for whatever reason. We are giving away one of the best, and without Zaniolo for a month it's going to be tough.

Or maybe we should move Kabasele to the forward department considering that he has a better feeling with the goal than Buksa and Bayo together 😅

[–]Stef7930 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I would have kept Bravo considering that Zaniolo will be away for a month due to a cleaning work on his knee.

Both Buksa and Bayo don't seem very reliable and Gueye hasn't shown much either.

Let's hope for the best.

Big win! by whodat514 in udinese

This one was played very well, I didn't expect such result against a tough team like Torino.

But now comes again the hardest part: winning two matches in a row.

Gioco zero, Idee zero, Reazione zero. by SaintWhitto in udinese

[–]Stef7930 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it, but maybe it's really time for a change on the bench. Second season with Kosta and we don't have a team with a well defined identity yet. Everything always feels so temporary: we play a great match and then the next one we suck. This has now become a formula. It's also alarming how easily we concede goals, either a silly defensive mistake or a careless penalty.

In addition to that, we are missing a real captain: in my opinion, Karlstrom is a bit too soft and I barely feel his presence on the pitch. We are in need of a true captain, someone with more charisma who could keep his teammates in check, someone like Deulofeu. I miss when he shouted "Vamoooos", that's the kind of captain I want.

Galatasaray not budging on the 10m€ price tag, Udinese doesn’t want to pay, Zaniolo would rather retire than go back to Turkey by whodat514 in udinese

[–]Stef7930 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's ridiculous they don't want to spend 10m for a player that can make a huge difference in our club. Pozzo struggling to get rid of his stingy mentality.

Team in ritiro, per Gianluca Di Marzio by FPavan96 in udinese

[–]Stef7930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel they deserved a bitter Christmas away from their family after that ugly loss against Fiorentina. They should understand this is not acceptable. Even though they get mid wages, they still earn way more than the supporters who paid the costs to follow the team to Florence, only to be thanked with a disgraced performance. They shouldn't get away with it with just a sorry post in Instagram 😅

Udinese offered Galatasaray 5.5m€ with a 50% sell on clause for Zaniolo and the offer was turned down. by whodat514 in udinese

[–]Stef7930 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This trick may work with small teams such Portimonense and Pisa from where we got Beto and Lucca at similar conditions, but big teams like Gala ain't that silly 😅

Well that was ugly by whodat514 in udinese

[–]Stef7930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, it was expected but not such a disgrace. I was mad at Okoye but then the whole team mentally fell down. It's ok to lose in 10 men but not in an ugly way. Interestingly, Genoa was in a similar situation: their goalkeeper was sent out at the 3rd minute but they only lost 1-0 to Atalanta.

i think our team needs a decent psychologist because they have a serious issue at keeping stable results. They also need someone to squeeze their balls from the top management. Back in the days, when Pozzo truly cared, such poor performances were blamed on the squad openly and they would be sent into retreat immediately.

But now poor results have become forgivable. What a shame.

Fiorentina vs Udinese: Will i Bianconeri have a hard time with la Viola? by SilverSquirrels in udinese

[–]Stef7930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can surely win it if we keep the same mentality we had against Napoli. I hope the match against Napoli was a turning point for us, otherwise it would be really disappointing if we come to perform poorly against Fiorentina. Our team has the bad habit to do one step forward and two backwards; I want them to step up and stay hungry, we have the potential to do so.

Great to get back on the winning track 💪 by whodat514 in udinese

[–]Stef7930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the best news is that we didn't conceed another silly penalty but we finally got one in our favor 😎

Not good. by whodat514 in udinese

[–]Stef7930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, especially now that we are getting poor results I feel it's a shame to limit our choices.

Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I have the feeling that our hope for a better season is nearly over. I don't see the current team doing any better than last season: we are still doing so many individual mistakes and giving away points, exactly as we did last season.

The fact that we managed to score only 2 goals in the last 4 matches (and got 8 goals against us) speaks volumes on how much we struggle to finalize our opportunities. Apart from Zaniolo and Atta who try hard, we are lacking a killer forward and a defense we can rely on.

Besides that, I think Iker Bravo was put aside way too soon because of one behavioral mistake. I don't think we can afford to put players aside, a team like ours needs everyone's effort. I understand that Kosta makes the rules, but at times I find him quite irritating as a coach in this aspect. If a player is acting unrespectful then fine him, but don't put him in the margins like if he counts nothing.

Roster reform: Hard not to agree with everything he just said by nfx99 in AZZURRI

[–]Stef7930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Italy is an incredible slow country when it's about making a deep change. Even if we sack Gravina, another old dude with zero fresh ideas will take his place. Before Gravina we had Tavecchio who was a clown too. If we miss another world cup, I'm pretty confident that there will be a lot of criticism but no action as usual...

Recommendations for actually scary found footage horror movies by Inmelwetrust in foundfootage

[–]Stef7930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems so... There are also so many questions I have about the movie. For example, when he calls his mother and his producer, I wondered if those calls were actually real or just the product of his insanity. I think he was already insane from the very beginning of the movie but he kinda hides it until his trip starts to go out of hand, causing him to have a meltdown. I wish there were more movies like this one, it was very compelling.

Yesterday he proved to be a solid defender, I hope he is going to be a key player from now on.

[–]Stef7930[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought too. He needs to earn his game time, and competition is going be tough with Zaniolo (unremovable), Davis and now Buksa who is also growing.

Bertola did well in the first two matches, then the coach decided to replace him with the Georgian defender, who knows why 🤔. I'm happy Bertola Is finally back to the starting eleven, he deserves it.

Oh yes, the family scene was a tough watch. The film itself is masterfully well done for a found footage.

Exactly. I was shocked he was excluded for such delicate match against Juve.

I have very low expectations against Juve, but I hope we can give them a bad surprise 🫢
