Too much shalaye... Even adding "IF" to the conversation

What did Napoli do better than other teams who outscored them? Simple question you dey write thesis for me.

E say IF Napoli had drawn What IF Inter had lost while Napoli draw?

Let's take the IF game a notch higher a bit.... What IF Inter lost the last two matches and IF Napoli won't the last two matches, will it still be a single point they will win the league with?

Shebi na only you get monopoly of IF

nihilistjnr:
You're clearly to stoopid to even realise that I'd answered this specific question... TWICE.

Kimbeast:
You are still using schoolboy logic my gee.

Napoli had a very strong defense and an ok attack that scored 56goals and it was enough to win the league title. It ridicules airhead ridiculous notion.

Amoto94:
We can even say that Napoli outscored their opponents in their wins, the argument is to outscore whether 1-0 or 5-4 they're making the argument for Airmark by referencing Napoli

nihilistjnr:
Exactly, Napoli would have won the league as long as they won their match 100-99. However if they had relied on defence and kept a 0-0 they would have come 2nd.

Like this is such a simple concept to grasp to anybody except brother Timbros. It's not a coincidence that the club has been prioritising signing attackers over the last 2 seasons. I mean Betis game isnt even that far away.

Amoto94:
I know quite well that attack win you games and defense win you championships ( apologies to Fergie), I was only pointing out that using Napoli in the context Tim used it will only strengthen Air.mark's argument- he will simply retort that Napoli outscored their opponents

nihilistjnr:
Or even the game against Napoli a few months where Napoli equalised against inter to draw 1-1 in the 87th minute, that's the 1 point they used to win.

nihilistjnr:
The 'strong defence and OK attack' of Napoli generated goal difference of +32. That is not just poorest attack for the last 20 scudetto winners, the goal difference itself is the lowest of any Serie A champions in the last 20 years.

Even in years where Scudetto champions had far better defence than Napoli, they still scored far more than Napoli, e.g Juve GA of 20 in 15/16 still managed to score 75.

Napoli's achievement was a fluke. 1/20 is not a pass mark to hang any argument on for any knowledgeable person. Then again, you were the same person that argued that Arrdee is a bigger artiste than Burnaboy so...

timbros:
You don't get it, do you?

Napoli didn't outscore more teams than Inter. So they never made more points than Inter by outscoring opponents.

So why did they win the title? What did they do better than Inter?

lordfalcao:
nya na IF akaria from nihilist ?

nihilistjnr:
This is as stoopid as asking why Leicester won the title in 2015, or why Greece won Euro 2004.

Sometimes you get lucky. That's why it happens once in 20 seasons like it just did for Napoli.

If your Napoli argument was strong you would be able to show us another team doing what Napoli did in Serie A since 2004.

Amoto94:
Chelsea have broadly agreed personal terms with Hugo Ekitike.

Club to club needs negotiating, but Chelsea are working.

nateevs:
Madueke scored 3 of those 7 goals in one game. That's 4 goals in 31 games.

Keep things in perspective.

Unlimited22:
You can't be advocating for Jackson to be sent to jail and be advocating for Madueke to be a starter in the very same breath.

Caicedobets:
PSG luckily won Liverpool
If that tie is replayed again PSG won't win
I wonder why a lot of people are worshipping them

Unlimited22:
Yet ANOTHER City academy product.

Kimbeast:
Liverpool escaped the first leg without conceding 5. What are you talking about.

timbros:
I just checked out this Gittens guy. He is not bad, really.

Former Chelsea youth sef. And played for Man City too.... That's means he must have a past with Maresca.

I don't mind getting him jare... Since we no know how long Mudryk will be out and Sancho may go back to United.

Kimbeast:
You are stylish blaming Inter defense for losing the league title. They were winning Lazio 2:1 up until the 88th minute when Pedro scored. Infact conceding late goals has been a constant theme for them this season.

Late goals to Lazio, Milan twice (league and cup), Napoli, Monza, Genoa, Juventus.

lordfalcao:
they made it easy for psg I mean.

NinjaMetahuman:
Nope.

I'm blaming Inter's attack for not winning 3-2 because goals actually win you games, not 0-0. That's the whole point of outscoring your opponent.

I'm particularly not interested in the defense vs. attack debate because both are equally important for having a balanced team.

But if I'm forced to pick, I will be leaning towards attack because it is more important in winning the league than defense. Napoli's success is just something out of luck; it's not like they are extraordinary. In a good season, Napoli wouldn't have won if Inter Milan had scored at least 90 goals. But then, Inter's attack is equally poor.

Lastly, I would prefer my team to win 2 games 5-4 rather than them drawing 5 games 0-0.

A 5-4 game is also more exciting than a 0-0 game.

Chelsea are open to offers for Noni Madueke!
