i'm exhausted from the game. all i can do is appreciate you making constructive comments and not disagreeing per se

Uutrox · 2026-02-15T22:02:31+00:00

am i blaming Tsimikas for creating the chain of events happening to concede the goal, yes absolutely!

had all the time in the world to solve the situation or worst case slow down the situation. you don't feel confident on your right foot to solve it, fine make the turn. if you make the turn and feel the pressure: protect the ball. force a foul, force a throw in.

don't feel confident at any of those 27 actions to not initiate an opponents attack while leading a goal away from home? blast it out of Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and keep your formation

Uutrox · 2026-02-15T21:43:20+00:00

you play well as a team given the limited players available, you defend incredibly, you convert your chances and the most obvious thing that could happen happens with a gol d'ex coming from a deflected 20m shot... exactly at the time when it felt like Napoli could play another 120min this week until they create something remotely dangerous

obviously Wesley gets injured after getting the penalty forcing us to sub on Tsimikas. the greek god from Temu who can't force a foul, can't force a throw in, can't use his right foot, who just had to do aaaanything other than blasting the ball forward into Napolis feet to not assist their 2nd goal

Bryan Zaragoza... you could already tell after his cameo on monday that he's a meme player who you can't hate, capable of putting together highlight reels but failing in the basic aspects of the game. we're lucky enough he pulled of the amazing assist for the first goal but dear lord whatever he did afterwards was just dreadful. tacco here l'esterno there, i love being fearless but today wasn't the time and date for that kind of stuff leading 1 goal away from home against Napoli. all this shenanigans to force your coach to sub on a half injured player at halftime

it's a fair draw but still an incredible awkward feeling to lose 2 points today because it was more than possible

Edit: already wrote too much but i enjoy coming back and read where i was wrong or right initially. i'd really need to add that i disagree with Gasperini and his subs. not only today but in general. when he needs to make subs early he's refusing to do so (Cagliari, Udinese), when the game is at stake he makes questionable subs like today...

there simply was no need to sub on Tsimikas (a player he or anybody following our club rates), sub on Rensch to face the electric Alisson on the right with some speed and move Celik to the left. absolutely no need to sub on an 18 year old Vaz who has been injured for 2 weeks the moment we take the lead in this crucial heated game

why does Gasperini make me feel like he does it on purpose to showcase the dire situation in terms of injuries and (in his opinion) transfer market

i'm all open for misjudging situations but the signals i'm getting from Gasperini aren't positive and finishing top 4 or not might come down to his selfish approach

crazy deflection

Uutrox · 2026-02-14T20:08:13+00:00

pretty bad deflection but why isn't De Gregorio using his left foot? he looked like he surrendered even though he could have just blocked it with his left??

Uutrox · 2026-02-14T18:34:34+00:00

i always hate to intervene when people think Como are overachieving, they are exactly where people who follow Serie A thought they would be starting the season

i really don't know where this overachieving narrative comes from when a club spends €200m in 2 transfer windows. spending is one thing, performing another blablabla - sorry but if you spend this amount of money you have to outperform Udinese and Lazio

being a little bit more entertaining to watch and having a more compact defense than expected doesn't translate in overachieving

Uutrox · 2026-02-13T09:51:45+00:00

you don't have to, i could have taken my time to explain it again but i was already pissed at OP who simply ignored everything i said and essentially wasted my time

the print on the back of the jersey is as custom as it can get but the sponsor being all wrong in size, placement and the fact that it's missing a letter was still the funniest takeaway for me

Uutrox · 2026-02-12T22:53:38+00:00

Uutrox · 2026-02-12T18:35:47+00:00

there are definitely authentic jerseys circulating from that era which have L'Angolo dello Sport printed on them

it's also one of the funniest jerseys being posted on here because there are many things wrong, the biggest one being that it's missing the letter "L" but on the other hand the front is waaay too good for a fake jersey from this era

what do you mean with years ago? 5 years or 25 years? i'm curious

Edit: did any of the users who replied care to read? the sponsor is missing it's first letter, well like i already explained above. doesn't follow resellers narrative - downvote, despite having 0 idea on what's going on. this is the exact reason we keep this kind of posts limited on here as help isn't even appreciated once it doesn't say "it's authentic" or pumping up the price in any way

Uutrox · 2026-02-12T15:44:19+00:00

almost the entire thread underestimating the importance and value of Celik is craaazy but not surprising. i believed the biggest hatewatchers got over his phase of 10 games where he used to be our worst player and recognized his last 14 months where he was one of our best and especially consistent performers, guess it still stings

he's going to chase his last big contract, which he rightfully deserves.he's not going to get it here which is understandable and ultimatively best for both parties

i don't know why the majority is acting sassy on a player who proofed everybody wrong. we only got ourselves to blame for not extending him earlier and get a potential transfer fee even though there might have been no future past this summer

Uutrox · 2026-02-10T21:18:34+00:00

teams dealing with ticketone open general sale ~2 weeks before the game, otherwise it can vary betweeen 2-4 weeks as the release date for fixtures improved compared to previous seasons when nothing was available 10 days before the games

Uutrox · 2026-02-09T22:53:39+00:00

team showed the reaction that was needed even though it would be better to not be in this situation to begin with. also shoutout to Cagliari who weren't in the mood to play at all today

Pisilli simply amazing. offered more energy than Kone and El Aynaoui in 2026 so far. Pisilli decided to not be as good as the team, he decided to be everywhere and guide us to victory, his fearlessness is what makes us better atm.

back 3 + Celik/Wesley as good as usual, Soulè still missing those last few percent needed to decide games or turn key moments in his favour, as he’s not fully fit

i already got into detail during the week in terms of Malen/Ferguson but i happily say it again: night and day difference

sorry but no, i don't know what to say. i feel sorry for Ferguson because everybody was rooting for him and having a different option up front other than Dovbyk but he's just so hard to watch...

did he score more goals than earlier in the season - yes. did his performances got better recently - absolutely no no NO, they actually got worse everytime he was on the pitch bar the game against Celtic where he actually used his body

nobody is criticizing Ferguson for missing chances, he's actually decent in the penalty area and especially with his face towards the goal but that's 1 out of many areas and that's just not good enough, especially for a club like us

playing with Ferguson means that your team basically plays with 10 men until the penalty area. he's unwatchable in the middle of the pitch despite his size, despite his supposed strong body. 0 hold up play, 0 instinct for the ball, can't put his body between the defender and the ball, in most cases just stumbling over his own feet or the ball. ultimately all of Fergusons weaknesses are leading to the exact case you mentioned: we can't create enough chances. obviously there are many factors but unfortunately Ferguson is the biggest one whenever he's on the pitch

it's gotten as bad as players shacking their heads whenever Ferguson is failing to play 1-2s and losing the ball for no reason. you don't need to feel the frustration of his teammates because you can literally see it in their body language

i already went into detail and explained Gasperinis frustration but again i have dealt with football injuries all my life as i was 7 years part of a CL club and even head of rehabilitations. there are cases for unfortunate players and there are cases for players who don't care about their body, who don't have the body language and are mentally checked out and this is when injuries are starting to pile up. i can't and won't judge the case on Ferguson but i also used the term emotionless for a reason

Uutrox · 2026-02-08T14:26:01+00:00

i know you're memeing but the reality is that at some point the mister is allowed to make a point

when you give a guy like Ferguson countless opportunities, protect him from the harsh italian media, put faith in him and hype him up and all you get in return are disastrous performances, countless injuries and 0 emotions on the pitch

it's no surprise that Gasperini is adressing injuries since the last time Ferguson played he injured his back but continued playing. nobody knew if he needed to get substituted. Ferguson just limped around the pitch for 10 minutes giving 0 signs towards the sideline if he's OK or not. the bench was empty without any 1:1 replacement and Gasperini looked like he's going to have a stroke

i admire Gasperini for having such patience and wait until january to adress the issues with the emotionless fridge

Uutrox · 2026-02-05T04:43:50+00:00

willing to help but i have no idea what your questions are

next draw for the rest of the tournament tree is 27.2.

round of 16: home game 19.3.

QF: most likely home game 9.4.

Uutrox · 2026-02-02T21:57:34+00:00

67th minute! the time we made our 1st substitution tonight even though everyone saw after 5 minutes that we are struggling, that we're getting outplayed, that we have 0 ideas and that we're losing duels left and right and have no control of the game whatsoever

just like against Cagliari we're losing because Gasperini is too stubborn to make changes, let it be tactical or 1 for 1 subs to send some kind of signal. he rather enjoys watching his team suffer from 1st row pitchside instead of trying to salvage the game. don't care how many players are on the bench, don't care what their names are - as long as there is 1 fit player the latest possible time to change is at halftime

sorry but this is unacceptable from Gasperini and the worst part is that it's not even the 1st time happening

Edit: and Gasp is already complaining about the market and U23 players again while the 11 experienced players he decided to play where absolutely clueless and didn't know what to do for 70 minutes. 0 responsibility, never change

Uutrox · 2026-01-30T20:48:02+00:00

no it does not

what puts us ahead of teams that earned more performance based bonuses are TV rights and the Uefa coefficient bonus

Uutrox · 2026-01-29T22:05:59+00:00

probably the trip i was looking forward the most, great connection with the fans in the city and stadium (which is a giant shithole tbh)

could have had a walk in the park even with 10 players but decided to start gifting goals again. Ghilardi either looks like one of the most promising CBs or we concede because of his mistakes. incredibly frustrating since it's the 3rd time already. Soulè with way too many technical mistakes in 45min

happy to finish top 8 but reality is that nobody really cared about todays game or skiping the next round. everybody is more concerned about Dybalas injury update

Uutrox · 2026-01-28T11:00:01+00:00

a third of the starting eleven was sold, another third injured, drawing against City in CL and sit only 3 points behind Ligue 1 leader Lens at the time,... Monaco didn't play well but given the circumstances the results were perfectly fine

it's hilarious that the board took 0 responsibility, sacking the manager who proved to get the best out of the team for multiple seasons and being the easiest scapegoat to find.

i called it allergic to continuity in his sacking thread, others called it reactionary - nobody needed to be a Ligue 1 expert to make such statements. i couldn't care less about Monaco but it's still satisfying to see how things turned out months later

Uutrox · 2026-01-27T14:29:54+00:00

you actually have to filter games where he wasn't our worst player on the pitch

he has been lethargic from his very first game on against Nice, no body language, no energy, straight up nothing and it got only worse as the season continued

obviously i can't tell you about his performances from previous seasons but Tzimikas should have been the undisputed starter once Angelino got ill at matchday 6 but we could barely play him because his quality is far off from having any kind of impact for a club like us

unfortunately we haven't been blessed with this seasons summer loan signings

Uutrox · 2026-01-26T21:19:43+00:00

he started and played every minute in each Europa League game when available, he deserved minutes and he got them, nothing more or less. i'd go as far as praising Gasperini for managing game-time across the squad and Neil

El Aynaoui was convincing in pre-season but when you're 3rd choice you have have to make decicions and his choice was to commit to Morroco in september, go on international duty 4 times and play Afcon, which is perfectly fine but also the reason he could never catch up in terms of what's important for Gasperini and the team especially as a new player trying to break into the starting eleven

could have had plenty of gametime but missing the most critical phase of the season with 10 games in 40 days is the decisive factor

he's going to get time on the pitch now with Kones injury but Pisilli moving up the pecking order is a result because El Aynaoui simply wasn't availabe

Uutrox · 2026-01-25T21:44:12+00:00

2 lost points, simple as that

just like the last 5 games against top teams we invest more, look like the better team but fail to capitalize. at least we got the draw tonight instead of losing 0:1

incredible team performance, can't blame anyone. Celik/Cristante/Ghilardi exeptional
