Parma 2 - 4 U.S Palermo
From Ennio Tardini, Parma, Att:- 15032
Mitroglou (27), Labyad (74)
Llorente (20, 36, 78), Lukaku (69)

Before
Palermo returned to Parma today, looking to continue their fine form and to avenge a 2-1 defeat here last season.

After​

Llorente was the man today, scoring his first of three goals on 20 minutes.
But Parma hit back 7 minutes later, a lovely chipped effort from Mitroglou, 1-1 on the half hour.
Llorente put Palermo back in the drivers seat with a powerful header on 36 minutes. His power in the air was proving difficult to deal with for most Serie A sides.
Palermo went into the break 2-1 up, and in the second half, Lukaku put the game beyond Parma with a great individual effort, scoring from a tight angle. Labyad headed Parma back into contention on 74 minutes, but it was against the run of play and Palermo soon found them selves 4-2 up, with Llorente scoring with his left foot from just 3 yards out. Palermo looked impressive today, winning 4-2

Serie A: Matchday 14

U.S Palermo 4 - 1 Genoa
From Renzo Barbera, La Favorita, Palermo, Att:- 33871
Lukaku (pen 7, 89), Llorente (28), Henrique (44)
Palacio (45+1)

Before​

Unlike last season, Genoa were struggling this year. Their new signings hadn't gelled well with the team, Palermo looked to expose this.

After​

Genoa looked terrible today, and after a stupid hand ball in the area, Lukaku sent the keeper the wrong way to give Palermo a 1-0 lead. Things got worse for Genoa as the brilliant Llorente headed home. He had settled in really well. And then Paulo Henrique smashed the ball into the top corner on 44 minutes.
But before the half was over, Palacio pulled one back for the visitors, with a flukey goal from 40 yards out, DeGea should've done better.
The second half was alot slower and a minute before time, Lukaku sunk the ball into the net from 23 yards out, giving Palermo a convincing 4-1 win

Drezzy you have so many quality attackers now, how do you find a place for all of them in your formation??? can't figure out what's your regular tactic tbh!

Drezzy you have so many quality attackers now, how do you find a place for all of them in your formation??? can't figure out what's your regular tactic tbh!

I have Eden Hazard and Piatti on the wings with Llorente and Lukaku starting as strikers.
If Llorente/Lukaku are getting marked and not playing well, then i use Kadlec and Hernandez for their speed.

Pastore sits in midfield with Henrique.

Serie A: Matchday 15

Lazio 0 - 3 Palermo
From Olimpico, Rome, Att:- 31696
Galeano (29), Bovo (49), Llorente (77)

Before​

Lazio were struggling this season, losing 8 out of 16 games. Palermo looked to pile on the misery.

After​

Another Brilliant performance from the men in pink and black today. Galeano returned to the starting 11 after recovering from injury, and his header on 29 minutes put Palermo in the lead.
Lazio failed to offer anything meaningful to the game. At half time, a tired Galeano was hauled of and replaced by Bovo, who stunned the Rome crowd when he headed in a Pastore cross on 49 minutes. Palermo were picking on Lazio's main weakness, and that was in the air. Llorente completed the scoring with a header of his own on 77 minutes, Palermo were just too good for Lazio today
