Didnt really answer my question about his record pretty much being the same as Mou's at RM. I dont really care enough about Pelligreni to really comment on what his teams identity is or what it isnt. Its nothing really amazing anyway. But very few managers play with a style or an identity that is easy to spot anyway

damnit
watching lazio-rosenborg, didn't catch the first 18 minutes but from what I've seen, Rosenborg has clearly looked like the better team, dominating possession, just had an amazingly close attempt. But then Lazio scored.
Oh I guess the commentator just mentioned that Lazio had two shots in the post, so I guess not as unfair as I thought it was xD
Oh and Lazio are only 10 players, that makes sense seeing how much possession Rosenborg has been having lol. I'm learning new things as I write this post!

second hit in the post for rosenborg too fuckkk. Very entertaining game though!

red card
1:0 Lazio
Red card 6th minute, goal 28th. Fun fact, apparently 3rd red card in Mauricios 9th appearance this season.

Yes. Augsburg up 1-0 against AZ. They need to win to have a chance to stay in the competition.
I wonder if it'd good for them though, they might need all their strength to avoid relegation. Then again Augsburg under Weinzierl are known for horrible starts into the season, they might come out strong later on.

How is his record close to Mourinhos at Real? He was one, there longer and two won 3 trophies vs 0 trophies. 1 season where he buys in Benzema Ronaldo Alonso and loses to Lyon in a champions league whilst still having players like Guti Raul in the squad seems pretty hard to do. Not saying that it would have been easy due to Barca back then were very very good but he should not of been losing to those teams. Just like he does now where he can beat Chelsea 3-0 at home very convincingly but then go get turned over by West Ham or Spurs 4-1. Anyway as usual we don't agree so i appreciate the input and i will refrain from abusing him as much

wtf is happening with molde
they're 7th in the norwegian league this season (which is pretty much over, realistically the best they can hope for is top 5)
but in group with fenerbache, ajax and celtic they somehow dominate? first beat fenerbache, then tied vs ajax, now 2-0 vs celtic after 20 minutes?
and rosenborg has 1 point after 3 matches vs st.etienne dnipro and lazio (granted, arguably a tougher group) but we're 19 points ahead of molde in the league!!

I don't know, just look at Sevilla, they are specialists in European competitions.Arguably dominated ManCity, too, and yet suck in La Liga.
Some teams relish special occasions, like Liverpool back in the days.

Or it's just coincidence. On short term there's a shitload of luck involved in football. A mediocre side can suddenly play their best games coincidentally in Europe. While being in top form, they might be lucky here or there as well.
In a season-long league, the luck factor diminishes because of there being more games. In CL for example luck plays a bigger factor. In nation tournaments like the Eurocup or the World cup, luck is a very important factor. Denmark '92.. Greece '04.. South-Korea '02.. the list is long.

You aren't serious about categorizing South Korea 2002 into luck I hope?
That had nothing to do with luck...

Don't nitpick on a little thing in my post that had nothing to do with my general message just because you have a different definition of the word 'luck'. Luck is also favourable/biased/borderline bought referee decisions in my eyes.
This is a perfect example of you being annoying btw. Just so you know.

yeah with these referees there was definitely no luck involved in 2002...

Greece 04 was no luck, just glorious headers from Charisteas!
Jokes aside, fenerbace Ajax is a pretty boring match so far

Yea I think this is how it actually is. But it still looks really weird. Molde has basically played their best 3 games of the season in the EL group stage, and in addition they were lucky against Ajax.
Like, Rosenborg having 1 point after 3 games, that's kinda how Norwegian teams are expected to perform in EL/CL group stages. I think if they just were more clinical and cynical (or lucky), it easily could have been 7 points instead. (Bit of luck and better finishing and we'd win the first two and draw vs Lazio).

Of course there is lots of luck involved in football, but on the other hand there is lots of unseen complexity, too.
A team that has trouble breaking down defensively minded Norwegian opposition might still be a decent team that can compete with more offensively minded European middle class teams. Moreover, Molde has beaten Rosenborg 1:0 in their direct encounter after all.
Dortmund struggled in the Bundesliga at the beginning of last season but still qualified comfortably from their CL group, mainly because of the tactics used against them in the Bundesliga.
On the other hand, thrashing inferior teams in the league might not mean anything when encountering decent opposition in Europe.
