It wouldn't be a Derby d'Italia between Juventus and Inter if it didn't throw out some drama and chaos. With penalty confusion and questionable refereeing decisions, there's plenty to discuss. Or was it just a lot of foreplay and not much action??? Mina has a lot to say about Simone Inzaghi which can't be missed!

Napoli displayed the kind of tactical and mental maturity which Nicky and Mina love to see to overcome Atalanta away in Bergamo.

Roma marches on, winning away at Sampdoria, but does Nicolò Zaniolo have what it takes, after José Mourinho's comments about his absence?

And some praise for Lazio's Sergej Milinković-Savić.

Then we close the show with a classic Juventus v Inter controversial episode that will never be forgotten.

Get your questions in for Mina and Nicky for the Serie A Chronicles Q&A show. Each week we answer your questions tweeted to us at @serieAchronpod using the hashtag #ChroniclesQandA.

This week's questions:

Does Ciro Immobile scoring a bundle for Lazio mean that Serie A is an average league, given that he is clearly way out of this depth at international level?

Also on the same lines, does Tammy Abraham scoring 20+ goals for Roma further prove my point? Is Tammy brilliant or is Serie A easy? For me it's pretty clear what the answer is.

-Steven (Chronicles Tifosi Patreon member)

If we’re going to press for youth talent in Serie A then we need coaches like Allegri and their backwards philosophy of Apprenticeship to give more chances for young players, to actually test them early to see if they’re good enough.

In my opinion there should be a rule that would force teams to start an u21 product for 4 games a season or 4 point deduction will be given. That will force the big teams to actually play the kids they have and see if there will be a diamond among them.

-Missak (Chronicles Tifosi Patreon member)

Do you think clubs in Serie A prefer to “recycle” older players rather than giving the spots to youth players? If so, do you see a reason behind it?

-Omer from AllJuveCast podcast

This week Nicky and Mina are joined by Australian-Italian international football presenter & event host, Adriano Del Monte, who you will find presenting major football matches all over the world for the likes of FIFA, beIN, BT, ESPN, Optus Sport, and more. Adriano was a very engaging guest, with a very intelligent perspective which makes this episode one of our best so far.

It has been a difficult week, digesting a second consecutive failed World Cup qualification for Italy after defeat in the semi-final playoff against North Macedonia. We dissect what led to this point, as well as the cultural and structural problems in Italian football, as well as the mistakes in Roberto Mancini's team selections, game plan and substitutions.

We also discuss the opportunities being given to Italian youth talent, as well as the marketability and attractiveness of Serie A and where the league gets it so wrong.

Also... the latest on Paulo Dybala and where he might go after leaving Juventus, and is this weekend's derby d'Italia the last chance for Juve to get back into the scudetto race, and for Inter to save its campaign to defend its title?

Nicky also tells us about her recent interview with Milan's England international Fikayo Tomori for The Guardian, and we close the show with a walk down memory lane that may make tifosi of our beloved Azzurri have a tear or two at this sensitive time.

You can follow Adriano on Twitter and Instagram.

This week's questions:

Between Manuel Locatelli and Sandro Tonali, who would you play in the Italian national team? I think Locatelli has underachieved since his trade.

-Luis (Montreal) 

What do you think of the 5-man substitution rule? Isn’t it time to scrap it? Are there benefits to keeping it?

-Ziad (Chronicles Tifosi Patreon member: New York) 

Something that driving almost all Juventini crazy: Why is Adrien Rabiot always the first name on the team sheet? What does he bring that other Juve midfielders don’t bring? What's his role in Allegri’s system that the other 4 midfielders can’t do as well as him?

-Missak (Chronicles Tifosi Patreon member)

It was a dominant victory to savour for José Mourinho's Roma, which displayed a masterclass of dominance, lead in attack by star English striker Tammy Abraham with 2 goals, including the fastest ever scored in a Derby della Capitale, and a sublime free kick from captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, to paint Rome giallorosso. With winners in every position, Mina and Nicky deservedly heap praise on a Roma side which is finally on the up after a topsy-turvy season to date. Could this win over Maurizio Sarri's hapless Lazio be the catalyst for a push for a top 4 place?

As Paulo Dybala and Juventus look to part ways, we wonder if the bianconeri even need him in order to be the traditionally clinically ruthless team that doesn't thrill, but wins. And where is the willingness of Max Allegri to give the homegrown kids a go?

What's happened to Inter and how dependent are they on Marcelo Brozović?

Milan has a 50% chance of winning the scudetto from here, and we condemn the Cagliari fans who racially abused Fikayo Tomori and Mike Maignan in Sardinia, and Nicky gives us a preview of her recent discussion with Tomori for The Guardian.

The story of Atalanta youth sensation Moustaphe Cisse who came off the bench to score the only goal of the match for Atalanta against Bologna.

And we discuss Italy's chances of making it through the World Cup qualifying playoffs, with Thursday's match against North Macedonia in Palermo and possibly a final decider against either Portugal or Turkey. How confident are Nicky and Mina of Roberto Mancini's Azzurri making it to Qatar?

Look out for a Patreon Chronicles Tifosi episode this week going in depth on Italian clubs' performances in Europe.

A note for next week's podcast schedule: If Italy does not get past North Macedonia we'll be in your podcast feed as usual on Tuesday. If Italy does qualify for the final WCQ playoff round they will play on Tuesday evening (European time), so we will delay the pod to discuss that match, and then drop into your feed on Thursday. Chronicles Q&A will appear as usual on Friday both this week and next (no changed schedule).... Forza Italia!

03:24 Rome Derby demolition

25:00 Dybala and Juventus
