Napoli are very good to watch, and in general I'm beginning to prefer watching Serie A  than your typical PL game these days.

Napoli were 2-0 up and thew it away to draw 2-2 and came close to losing late on, Sassuolo scored in 72nd and 89th minutes, and also had a goal ruled out in 94th

 

Spalletti the Napoli manager was also sent off

Napoli starting to pick up some injury issues...

I hate it when we play depleted teams though as we are somehow worse.

Ounas gonna bag the winner

 

Annoying that 2 players that aren't injured in Zielinski and Mertens are picking up some really good form as well

This is Napoli, they have a curse when it comes to winning Serie A. I think Koulibaly being out or not risked could be a big bonus

They have Atalanta on Saturday as well who are 4th and only 5 points behind them so wont be wanting to rest players for that

Going on their results in the Europa, Napoli's main priority must be Serie A.

The Napoli lot arrested here got their stadium bans yesterday. Two years.

So they'll be wandering the streets with a grievance against Leicester. Great...

Those guys would have been out looking for away fans anyhow I would have thought. 
It's the incidents that occurred to non Napoli ultras that night after the game I think will have stoked the fire somewhat.

It's alright, Finnegan's sure you'll be fine.

No Koulibaly for Napoli for our game, out for a month

Sorry, linky don't work properly

[StanSP]

Koulibaly and Osimhen out. 

 

Huge for us. If Insigne is missing too that would be a bonus as well. 

 

Couldn't have wished for a better time to play Napoli. League form stuttering after a solid start.

Bad Karma. Rodgers better light a fire and send in a full strength team for this. No excuses.

[coolhandfox]

If we do win, I'm looking forward to the Foxestalk masses saying it was because they were under strength.

 

Whilst at the same time claiming injuries shouldn't be affecting our form in the league.

....a team can be under strength due to choice, as opposed to injuries!!!

Napoli gone one down at h8me to Atalanta 

[Jaspa]

One all at h/t, end to end match. Their stadium has atmosphere despite the fans being a distance from the action.

 

Missing Koulibaly

[st albans fox]

Mertens 2-1

[st albans fox]

2-2

 

mertens and Lozano off on 66 mins 

 

considering how vital today is in league terms, suspect that shows they are going to be pretty strong on Thursday 

 

they have a reasonably easy game next Sunday 

[Jaspa]

Merih Demiral of all people popping up in the right channel for Atalanta, smashes it above the keeper into the roof of the net from an angle. Great finish.

 

It's been coming, for all Napoli's talent up front they look fragile at the back
