What a player he is. Since moving into the central forward role he's been a machine.

Can't wait for the City v Napoli matches - Rare I look forward to neutral games as much as those ties.

I really like this Napoli side (as a neutral), too.

They have a bang average coach in charge.

The reason why Inter are a far better team than AC is because of the diffrence in quality between the two teams managers.

ACL rupture for AC Milan's Conti, poor guy. Out for at least 6 months. Meanwhile Suso's contract renewed until 2022.

Btw, why it seems like  Bonaventura, Andrea Silva, Romagnoli on bench for them always? Looks like Montella really doesn't get the best from the players.

Milan 0-2 Roma

How long has Montella got left. Next up for AC the Milan derby after international break and I can't see anything but an Inter win in that one.

Yes, bizarre.

He's just a yard dog as we know, and they're playing him LWB. With such little quality, that's maybe all he can play now anyway.

Inter will win the league. No Europe is a big factor and they have a brilliant squad at the moment.

I'm probably being biased though because i've always had a soft spot for Inter and it we would be boss too see them win the league again.

Juventus 1-2 Lazio, full-time.

Juve were up 1-0 up too through Costa, Immobile with both goals for Lazio. Dybala hit the post in injury time.

Lazio's Patric then had a brain fart and did a stupid and needless challenge in the box in the 94th min - ref went to VAR and awarded a penalty to Juventus... Dybala then saw his penalty saved - extraordinary scenes :)

Lucas and Alberto did well overall.

I've seen monstrous and monumental used a lot. Over the season so far, the most frequent comparison is with Almeyda, and Klose for his off the field impact (one of the younger Lazio players has already called him the boss).

Players like him are grossly undervalued because what he offers off the pitch and in the dressing room cannot be quantified.

They're crediting him with the jump in overall quality, with a journalist posing this to him (before the Juve game). Lucas, of course, says it's all down to the team, etc. This was apparently the first time since 2002 that a visiting team has come from behind to win at Juventus.

Looking at Lucas's stats, they're good, but we've seen far more dominant games from him statistically. That said, the fans seem to think he was utterly dominant today, so perhaps head and shoulders above the rest in Italy produces different numbers to the same level of performance in England. Oh, and a couple more oft-used adjectives from today: phenomenal, insane.
