Very important victory against Samp to 90'

negative things : attack . it's pure shit.
and now even Hernanes got injured :facepalm:

he was our best player tm

by Vibe Thu Oct 30, 2014 6:08 am

He's injured? Mad

Missed the game,was working last night...

He finally hit a consistent string of form for the first time since we got him.

by Robespierre Fri Oct 31, 2014 8:26 pm

we deserved the victory , we made more than Sampdoria .. expecially in first half.
good match considering Samopdoria is fit, it stopped also Roma..
basically we won just 1-0 because Palacio missed many goals in front Romero , all chances created by Kovacic :bow:

anyway tbf we were close to lose just before of that penalty if Handanovic didn't save greatly on Eder...
The penalty kick was earned by your main man Zradvko Kuzmanovic . the first good thing made by him with Inter kit Proud

we played with 2 born in 1991 , 1 born in 1992, 1 born in 1993 , 1 born in 1994 hmm

it is the standard anyway

by Vibe Fri Oct 31, 2014 9:04 pm

I know it's hard to imagine but he was a good footballer once.

Technique,long range pass and a great shot were once among his qualities.

by Robespierre Fri Oct 31, 2014 9:09 pm

yeah infact I appreciated his signing in that January .. I remind him to Fiorentina, he was legit and he was so also in Stuttgart expecially in first period
I didn't wait these scrub performances by him ... he's worsened during years
He had a good impact against Sampdooria ( he played because of Hernanes injured) regardless of penalty kick got by him, he was also close to goal with a good insertion ( he made it also against Saint Etienne) ... anyway I have not illusions about the fact that he will be useful also in future . I hope to be wrong ... probably he will play also tomorrow considering the injuries at midfield.

by Vibe Sun Nov 02, 2014 6:53 pm

Well I expected us to lose from Parma.

We won 2 in a row,Parma were dead last.I in ther words,a classic Mazzari defeat.

Welcome back Mancini.

a question
what is WM's problem with cassano?

by Vibe Mon Nov 03, 2014 11:42 am

I have no idea,he wanted Cassano out when he took over.

by Robespierre Mon Nov 03, 2014 6:29 pm

Mazzarri trained Cassano during Sampdoria era , he didn't want again in squad because he is really diffciult to manage, basically Cassano did what he wanted to Genova , he could do it because he was the favorite of Garrone ... ( and after Cassano insulted and quarrelled with him :facepalm:

) . so he didn't want to repeat this experience

Derby week Proud

by Robespierre Sat Nov 22, 2014 4:11 pm

We ' ll play with 4-3-1-2. We don't play with this system since 2011 ( just an interval in 2010 because Mourinho wanted the 4-2-3-1 rated more adpted to Champions League, and he was right) . How many players are changed during these 3 years.. firstly Cambiasso and Stankovic

Kovacic will play as trequartista, but I don't like him in that role. In no way to be honest.
He needs of pitch for progression and dribbling , he is not trequartista. He is mezz ala. He never convinced when he played as trequartista, nor Inter neither Croatia.
but tbf Hernanes misses so it is a choice a bit obliged

Juan will play and not Vidic . In a defence to 4 Ranocchia (captain too , and our best defender so far) and Vidic are similar profils while Juan Jesus is speedest than other 2 and so he is complementary and for this reason he will be a sure starter..
But he shows flaws when he played as central defender in a 4 under Stramaccioni ( sense of positioning, marking ... while you can rely on the physical on 3) ffor me.
Similar matter for Nagatomo and Dodò . They can't defend ffs infact they should play ideally just in a 3-5-2.
Dodò was signed just for this reason ffs Laughing

Basically a bit worried about our defence ( anyway a similar matter can be done for Milan, who will play with Zapata and not the injured Alex for example) , but we'll see...

by RealGunner Mon Nov 24, 2014 12:04 am

A point was good I guess.

by Robespierre Mon Nov 24, 2014 1:01 am

yes that was okay, I am satisfied. I didn't want to begin new era Mancini with a loss in a derby
I think we would have lost under Mazzarri
just a thing : I remind when Mancini played with Stankovic as winger in that 4-4-2 (before of rombo) ... now he played 4-3-3 with Kovacic as winger :facepalm:

Probably he didn't play in that role even in Dinamo Zagabria
Mazzarri did just a good thing in last 16 months , Kovaciic exploited as mezz ala . so no joke Mancini.

by RealGunner Mon Nov 24, 2014 9:07 pm

Mancini has a habit of these things. Played Milner on the wing quite a lot for example at City along with Silva(although he was good enough there)

It depends on what formation Mancini has in mind. He likes his 4-2-3-1,4-2-2-2 and 4-3-3. Think Kovacic would be better behind the striker. But Is there place for him there?

Kovacic drifted there often but was clearly a central player for most of the game.In the worst case it was a 4-3-2-1 and not a 4-3-3..He actually played as left winger occasionally at Dinamo...

by Robespierre Mon Nov 24, 2014 9:32 pm

he isn't good as trequartista, i said it also before of match , it is definitely clear what is his role after you saw him playing for 3 years , the mezz ala stop, this was one of few good things made by Mazzarri.
Boban ( excellent Sky Italy pundit now ) is Milanista but he loves Kovacic as Croatian and he said same thing to Mancini yesterday . He said Kovacic was brilliant as mezz ala because it's his role and he warned about the fact that Kovacic will go towards an involution if he will play as yesterday

and yes , Mancini he did the comparison with David Silva when the journalists asked him about it Laughing

He says Kovacic can play as David Silva Laughing

... for me they are 2 different players . Besides Silva was a winger in Valencia
He will never be a difference maker as trequartista because he needs of pitch but winger is even worse ...

by Robespierre Mon Nov 24, 2014 11:23 pm

anyway I will say 2 things that will be easily appreciated by Vibe (considering his country hmm

)

- I didn't think to say it, but Kuzmanovic is playing legit this year. Probably it's soon to say starter but he is showing to be a good reserve. . And we need of this too . He was basically legit in matches played this year

- I 'd play with Vidic. I think he suffered the defence to 3 (never played in career ) , and Ranocchia - Juan Jesus is not a reliable partnership to 4. Showed under Stramaccioni , showed yesterday . Vidic is the only defender with ability to be defensive leader in our defence. and tbf I saw also positive things made by him this year . he was also unlucky, I mean there were matches played very well for 80' as Inter-Napoli , then he does a mistake and this is decisive. He didn't seem totally finished . Anyway I beleive we must give him the chance to play in 4 . Considering the alternatives the risk is worthy

by Lord Awesome Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:57 pm

Not too bad for Mancini's first game considering it's Milan. Vidic needs to play more honestly, tho, as I mentioned before, Mancini should try to get around using Andreoli. The guy is seasoned, younger than Vidic and has room for more development until JJ matures a bit more. I would agree with deploying Vidic as a starter in the back 2 but Mancini should shift in Andreoli even as a SB, at least. Still only his first match so I'll give Mancini some time before judging his performance on this Inter side.

by Vibe Tue Nov 25, 2014 9:16 pm

Andreolli fanboy,didn't know those exist Proud

by RealGunner Sun Nov 30, 2014 4:59 pm

Another big match tonight. Let's see how Mancini does

by Robespierre Sun Nov 30, 2014 6:18 pm

Roma never conceded a goal this year at home Proud

by Vibe Sun Nov 30, 2014 7:09 pm

Inter: Handanovic; Campagnaro, Ranocchia, Juan Jesus, Dodò; M’Vila, Medel, Kuzmanovic; Guarin; Osvaldo, Palacio

Inter bench: Carrizo, Berni, Andreolli, Icardi, Kovacic, Obi, Mbaye, D'Ambrosio, Krhin, Donkor, Bonazzoli

Allenatore: Mancini Proud

by RealGunner Sun Nov 30, 2014 9:39 pm

Awful lol

Osvaldo got that lucky ass goal and celebrated like it was the winner.

Roma thoroughly deserved it.

by Vibe Sun Nov 30, 2014 10:06 pm

Shambles.

Defending is chaotic...We need someone who organizes the whole defense well,Ranocchia can't even organize himself,let alone a defense.Or the team for that matter.That's what you get when you give a player the armband just so he signs a new contract and doesn't leave for free.Put faith in Vidic or sign a new central defender.

Obviously a RB wouldn't hurt as well,Jonathan and Nagatomo will never set the world on fire while I'm not sold on D'Ambrosio.Someone like Darmian would be a great addition.As for LB,Dodo has potential but we need to make sure he can develop some defensive attributes.Wouldn't mind someone like Criscito or Kolarov,but obviously we aren't gonna spend much so Dodo it is.

Midfield is surprisingly deep if we look at it.In case of a 3 man midfield (if we sign some wingers) we could have Kovacic - Medel - Hernanes as the starting trio with Guarin - M'Vila - Zdravko in backup ,with Obi and Krhin providing more depth.

As for the wings,it's a must.We're linked to a number of players and we'll have to wait to see if we'll sign anyone at all.In case of a positive scenario,Icardi/Osvaldo/Palacio upfront with it mostly being a single striker formation is more than enough.
