Daniel Russo joins Joe Fischetti to review Napoli’s 2-1 defeat to Como ahead of the big clash against Inter on Saturday, including:
Part 1 - Napoli’s struggles playing in a 3-5-2: buildup and defense; the recent increase in defensive errors, culminating in Amir Rrahmani’s own goal; Is Conte to blame for the injury crisis?; and key players looking exhausted: Lobotka, Anguissa and Lukaku (~1:11)
Part 2 - A rant about some of the media reaction to Napoli’s recent struggles; the narrative that this has been Napoli’s Scudetto to lose; given the circumstances and recent dip in form, can Napoli still compete for the title?; the positives hidden behind the emotions, including the play of Billing, Raspadori, Spinazzola and Okafor, and how those players give Napoli much more flexibility against Inter (~17:12)
