No surprise there, really. He was absolutely clueless, changing formations with the next one being even worse than the previous one. Good on Moretti, though - Gasperini was a horrible choice and he admitted that very quickly.
To be fair to Mourinho, everyone wanted him to fail at Inter but what he did with this team was nothing short of amazing. I'm not saying their squad isn't good, because it's one of the best around and certainly the best in Italy, but Jose was something else there. On the other hand, though, it makes you think what exactly is wrong with them right now - fantastic keeper, very talented defender in Ranocchia, experienced and still great lads in Zanetti, Cambiasso, Stankovic and Lucio, fantastic strikeforce, one of the best playmakers in the world, one of the best fullbacks around, some depth plus a couple of promising youngsters (Castaignos, Alvarez, Coutinho) - no matter what the tactics are, they have to be doing better than this. Really can't get my head around it.
Inter completely lost their cool after the bad call on the penalty. I don't think Napoli are deep enough though to keep up with both Serie A and the Champions League (if they advance from their group).

I think they're dealing with PMS, Post Mourinho Syndrome. It happened at Chelsea and it's happening to Inter. No coach has really been able to fill his shoes. Despite the fact that I hate Mou, the guy gets results and players love playing for him.
Boateng rescues Milan (3-0 down at half-time) with his hattrick as a second half substitute, a couple of great bullet shots from him.

Udinese on top of the ranking table. Handanović allowed one goal (Milan away 1:1) in seven matches. Last time someone scored a goal against him was in Europa League vs Celtic when Park scored from penalty kick in September.
What an ending to the Roma/Genoa game. After Roma show some fight and crawl back into the game scoring in the 83 minute, they piss it away in the 90th minute conceding a goal from a corner kick. Genoa played a great game defensively and Roma's defense was horrible especially Heinze, giving up the ball left right and centre. I thought Lamela played an okay game had a couple of chances and should have done better but didn't.
This year it's either Juve or Milan.
