Łukasz Skorupski stands alone
11 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Tempers go at Bologna
Arthur Theate was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Real improvement from Eivind Helland at Bologna
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Eivind Helland is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Martin Vitík wants to know where this is going
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Bologna hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Roberto Piccoli’s goal not enough for Bologna
Roberto Piccoli scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Fiorentina, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The manager makes an example of Tommaso Pobega
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

International break empties Bologna
6 call-ups is a compliment to the squad and a headache for the man running it. He will get them back in a fortnight, tired, in various states of repair.

Nobody could get near Riccardo Orsolini
Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Daniele De Luca: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
In brief
- The dugout Bologna pick somebody else ahead of Jay Enem
- Market The Riccardo Orsolini talk will not go away
- The dugout Nicolò Casale does not fit this one
