Sure, but those issues are natural since they changed half of the starting XI, as you said. Anyway, I can see them giving Juve a good fight for the first place.

They're definitely title contenders for sure, but Juve have more quality in their ranks. I'm just not too sure about their CBs; Britos is average at best and Albion couldn't shine in Spain so I doubt he would Italy.

True, they still have some issues to deal with, but I think Benitez is smart enough to do it. Also, I think they've managed pretty well with spending the money obtained on Cavani.

I'm actually surprised they spent so much money. No one in Italy currently has any money. The Higuian and Calejon deals were some excellent pieces of business.

Napoli should be 4-0 up vs. Milan after 8 minutes. Currently only 1-0. It's scary how good Benitez has made them.

there is so much similarity in the way they play compared to ours last season. Hamsik stays up top beside higuain without defending and the rest fall back when defending. just like a 4-4-1-1.

Just like how we were last season

Watching Juve today, why the f*** didn't we even try to go for Tevez? Absolute steal for Juve and what a player he is. Has the work-rate of three players!

He has always been like that, just like Rooney. He is willing to run 100 % even in the 98th minute and that's something I admire in him. There are issues about him being content in a club though.

He certainly seems content at Juve. From the first game, he looks like he has been playing there his whole life. Instantaneously fit in with the team. His movement is top class. He keeps the whole back four occupied by himself. Would have been a hundred times better than Eto'o, imho.

LOL at people acting as if Napoli were shit before Benitez and spetacular under him...

Well he has certainly strengthened them considerably in a single window. Rafa unlike the masterclass that is Mazzarri has actually added depth to Napoli which they were desperately lacking under Mazza. Mazza built the engine and frame, all Rafa has to do is add the details and Napoli can easily charge the Scudetto.

Another analogy is that Mazza put the money into the vending machine and ordered the Scudetto. All Rafa has to do is reach for it and take it out of the slot before Conte sneaks up behind him and steals it away.
