Chievo are a strong side and in the last few months have taken the scalps of Juventus and Fiorentina. They beat Genoa 3-1 back in late September. That said, a club with the ambitions of Genoa have to consider this a must win. Read the rest of this entry »

Hey everybody, sorry I’ve been so lazy with postings. I thought I would have more time after I finished uni exams, but job hunting is just as stressful. Also I’ve been in the gym trying to lose a few extra kilo’s from too many nights on the couch with a beer watching football and it often leaves me exhausted.
Plus, Genoa has been so disappointing lately it is hard to get motivated to write anything. The start of the season was so great. Genoa were winning playing attractive football and the whole Peninsula were heaping praise on the club with an 86-year Scudetto drought (which means Genoa’s drought is now worse than some famous title droughts like the Boston Red Sox 86-year drought) and if you don’t count lower league titles Genoa’s title drought is now 73 years long (worse than Man City’s 34 year drought without a major trophy).

So after playing a second string side against Slavia Prague Genoa face fellow top 4 aspirants Parma. 
Despite dominating possession and shot stats and taking an early lead, Genoa could only draw with Parma. This weekend they took on Lazio who hadn’t won in Serie A since the opening weekend when they beat Atalanta. However, on a weekend when upsets were all the rage, Lazio beat Genoa 1-0 in what was a fairly even game in which the momentum switched back and forth.

It might be too early to claim that either Genoa or Parma will be able to sustain the level of form to break into the top 4 and win a Champions League spot, but with Parma sitting in 4th and Genoa a point back in 6th, both sides have the chance to further that cause. Read the rest of this entry »
Slavia Prague 0-0 Genoa — Europa League

So it was a relatively placid affair between the pride of Prague and Genoa’s gems. I think that unless Genoa and Lille both won today, the vecchio balordo were always going to have to beat Valencia on the final day. I guess with that in mind and some important fixtures coming up in the league, Gasperini field what was effectively a second XI.

The Derby della Lanterna provided all the controversy and intrigue a true derby should. It was a big weekend for football; El Classico was El Snooze until Zlatan Ibrahimovic came on, the Liverpool Derby was a bit average, the Andalusian Derby was a tale of two halfs, Chelsea versus Arsenal was a Didier Drogba stroll in the park, but it was the Derby della Lanterna that was probably the game of the weekend.

Genoa won both derbies last season and Genoa manager Gian Piero Gasperini claims that it will give them confidence to do it again; “Having won the last two derbies has given us more faith and we are aware that we can win these games. However, we know you always have to start from zero.”
Sampdoria and azzurri midfielder, Angelo Palombo, believes that this could be the best Derby della Lanterna ever claiming “We begin as equals like never before.” Read the rest of this entry »
