How can Inter be so poor defensively even when they play 5 defenders

Their tactics seem to be get the ball to Lukaku and hope for the best. They have been thoroughly outplayed this opening half

This Gagliardini lad is terrible

Inter 3-1 up ffs

IT
HAS NOT
HAPPENED
SINCE
1997

love to see inter win the title

A bit exagerrated except about Gagliardini
Gagliardini yes, he  is  not good, he is average at max.
But he 's not our starter
Starter midifielder is : Sensi Brozovic Barella
but the first one has been injured for 3 months and Barella for 2 too. They are good

Wish Inter had gotten Ramsey instead. Sarri is ruining him.

imagine comparing icardi to Lukaku

im living viariously through Inter

big rom

I still don't think you'll win the league but it's nice to see a new team #1 for now

also don't think I didn't catch Mehlan being jobbers again to relegation fodder ffs

be lucky to finish 10th this season, you love to see it

Eriksen is most definitely needed for Inter if they will pull through with their threadbare depth and Marotta did confirm their interest in the Dane. Will add a huge presence of creativity to the front-line of the obvious two and would be interesting to see how he plays with Sensi given both their footballing IQ is off-the-charts.

Setting the record straight.

An excellent read during my lunch break.

Excellent matches coming up this weekend

Lazio-Napoli
Inter-Atalanta
Roma-Juve

Outstanding player and professional that gave everything for Juve and delivered every time. Best of luck to him. Excellent player and model professional that never complained once even when he was ruled out of the team plans.

Spare me, I root for the team, not for players, do the gatekeeping with your family.

He gave us 4 months in 2017 and a couple of goals in some other big matches, but the rest of his Juventus career was a big fat zero.

He didn't like being a back-up, so the team had to come up with fake injuries when he wasn't used. He refused every offer he got in summer, then he got upset that he was left out of the CL squad and asked to be left out of the squad completely so he can train by himself. Excellent professional

He had so much class that, in his goodbye message, he thanked two people that are not at the club anymore, effectively giving the finger to the current management team

Very true. Very underrated player. Also, he has apparently freak natural stamina, allowing him to heckle defenders for 90 minutes straight, and extra time if need be.
Haven't seen him at Jjuve, so I don't know if he's physically finished but I would be surprised if he was.


No idea why no club from the top leagues had a successful offer for him.

He was finished, hadn't done almost anything in the last two seasons. He had a place in the team only because we needed a big target man for the long balls that Allegri liked to use to escape the high press because he was/is conservative. Didn't do much in his first season either, but people remember him for those 4 months when he played winger during the 2017 season.

And it was expected, he did it when he left other clubs, too.

He's good at using his big frame to impose himself on defenders and play those mind games, but I never considered it classless. It's part of the job.

I still remember that bicycle kick in the CL. One of the best goals I've seen at that stage of the comp.

The only thing they had in common was the physique. When compared to Dzeko, Mandzukic was a neanderthal, both attitude and skill wise, the former being a plus, obviously

PSG wanted him in August ( they 've signed Icardi after his refusal) , Juve agree with it, but Mandzukic had refused PSG because he wanted to stay in Juve.
After it, Juve has exiliated him for 4 months until separation in this January

He asked to be exiled. Because he's a pro

Not with Sensi, in place of Sensi. Sensi is not an athlete, he's a mezzo-giocatore

Cagliari - Milan in 15 minutes.

Ibra starts, paired with Leao.

Only way I see Milan winning this is with a Kessie masterclass, otherwise 3 points for Cagliari.

Ridiculous what a tangible difference Zlatan makes and I am not speaking of his beautiful left-footed finish.

Cagliari are a very impressive team relative to their options available and the scoreline is rather flattering. Cigarini and Naingollan seem to be their best players this season and constant difference-makers but Leao's opener and Ibra to close it off was enough to stifle the relentless pressure the Sardinians applied on our mess of a backline.


On Ibra, its not his goals but his ability to dictate the tempo up front to his own pace. Under Allegri we knew the drawback of playing him as it often centres much too much around him and his own pace but its like he never left and it is amazing to see someone at 38 play this well.


Its a band-aid and it will not last but no doubt the injection of what he brings to the pitch and his signature leadership, will have us steer away from embarrassment.

Piatek is finished at Milan

cant wait to swap him for lingard

Castillejo looking like fucking Figo on roids today but 9/10 times looks ass

I really do hope we get some quality wingers/midfielders

This match has been great watch, now decided on 82' by a bad back pass and terrible mistake from Ospona. Immobile pounced and scores.

whaaaaat was Ospina doing????!
all the good work Napoli was doing on second half is all undone. Trying to be clever is one thing but he should have done better that he shouldnt be playing around with Immobile....

Such an intense and tight match and Ospona does that... Immobile isn't in forgiving form to miss that.
