calling all interisti to assemble here if you guys still exist out there.

played palermo at renzo barbera last nite. what a shitty game that was. we played like a bunch of wooden dildos. thanks to kovacic for that glimpse of individual brilliance tho.

forza inter nonetheless

wow quite a turn out

hahahha... agreed. too many glory hunters nowadays, be it in clubs or countries. eg, u can easily spot people wearing german jerseys anywhere which were close to nonexistent before wc2014.

back to inter, hoping for a good title challenge from them this season. dont want serie a to be a two horse race only

Inter playing Atalanta tonight

a shame isn't it?

i think one mistake that inter made after winning the tripleta in 2010 was the failure to build the momentum and take advantage of the post-effects of such a triumph.

i mean, your team just won everything. the fanbase grew larger. the club's reputation got bigger. if i was moratti, i would spend like crazy for the next season. get bigger names to play for the team and build another formidable squad for the future.

but he didn't. he was complacent. benitez was not given the chance to get the players that he asked for. and worse, the players were complacent. but who could blame them? you just won everything the season before, so the motivation was understandably low.

and inter have only seen one direction since then, down. the team has been going downhill since the treble. yes i've heard stories of mighty giants falling, but not in such a rapid fashion.

maybe what was going through my head before the kick-off of the CL final 2010 just came true. i said to myself "if we win this one, i don't mind inter becoming a shit team for decades". and here we are now, a shit team.

YESSS FINALLY!!! Thanks for making a 14/15 thread for Inter .

What I think Moratti should have done during the time we were Serie A winners for consecutive seasons was to have a plan on how to sustain the club's income so that it doesnt plunge to debt. Be it new stadium or increase deals with media companies, it should have been like that. Moratti was a huge fan but not really a businessman, now we have Thohir who seems that he has some vision to get us out of this FFP debt.

Moving on, the match against Cagliari tonight. I'm expecting to build on the Atalanta performance (probably our best performance this season so far, Sassuolo doesnt count). Icardi won't be fit to start here. This is a must win match and its matches like these where we have to gain all 3 points instead of settling for draws like against Torino or Palermo if we are to prove Juventus and Roma a challenge.

Forza Inter per sempre!!!

Our squad :
Goalkeepers: 1 Handanovic, 30 Carrizo, 46 Berni
Defenders: 5 Juan Jesus, 6 Andreolli, 15 Vidic, 22 Dodò, 23 Ranocchia, 25 Mbaye, 33 D’Ambrosio, 55 Nagatomo
Midfielders: 10 Kovacic, 13 Guarin, 17 Kuzmanovic, 18 Medel, 20 Obi, 44 Krhin, 88 Hernanes, 90 M’Vila
Strikers: 7 Osvaldo, 8 Palacio, 9 Icardi, 28 Puscas

Cagliari's squad :
Goalkeeper: Carboni e Cragno
Defenders: Avelar, Balzano, Capuano, Ceppitelli, Murru, Pisano, Rossettini
Midfielders: Crisetig, Dessena, Donsah, Ekdal, Joao Pedro
Strikers: Caio Rangel, Cossu, Farias, Ibarbo, Longo, Sau

Watch out for Ibarbo and Sau, their best players as well as Longo and Crisetig, our youth players on loan.

Forza Inter per sempre!!!!

aye mate couldn't agree more with moratti being the biggest fan of the team, but sadly he wasn't a good businessman when football today is business itself.

i think we have made a surprisingly good start to the season, better than what was expected. all of the new signings have been excellent. yeah, even vidic. apart from that brainfart against palermo, he has been commanding. medel is an absolute boss, and osvaldo, i love this dude as he offers more creativity upfront. loving his touches and off the ball movements. plus, he looks very much like khal drogo and that's cool as fark.

forza inter per sempre. let's get all 3 points tonite! (ibarbo and sau have indeed been a pain in the arse for inter for the past 1-2 seasons tho)

HOLY SH*T FIRST LOSS OF THE SEASON AND ITS AGAINST BASEMENT CAGLIARI!!!
Honestly didnt catch the match as always due to commitements but what the heck just happened???

I'm not a fan of Inter. Wooden dildos though...

i was watching cesena - milan via streaming and at the same time following the live score of inter game. apparently nagatomo got sent off way too early in the first half and cagliari score 3 goals before HT

are you a fan of wooden dildos then?

no live on tv, so i had to watch the game through a shitty stream thus couldn't really see much. i stopped watching at half time tho.

raped in the arse by cagliari. ibarbo was toying with our defense. meh, i'm pissed off for sure but i have kinda got used to this sort of results and pathetic displays.

and nagatomo

it's difficult and unhealthy to be an inter fan. but, what can we do?

Looks like we're still a heck long way to the top...

I think the team would have been playing great after Osvaldo equalised and when Yuto got sent off, everything broke down. I read that after he was gone, all remaining goals came from the left .

This post has been edited by darthbii: Sep 29 2014, 07:13 AM

not sure if it was deserved sending off cos i couldn't see shit due to shitty streaming, but yuto has been playing like crap recently anyway. mazzarri should bench him and hope that'll knock some sense back into him. should play with either d'ambrosio or jonathan as rwb and dodo as lwb from hereafter.

and i really hope that mazzarri will stop with his ridiculous 3-man defense formation. gosh our football is just painful to watch.

ya lor. how the hell he dares to still stick with this 3 man defense. unless he can somehow think that his team is on par with juve, which is not

mazzarri is just too stubborn. he's trying to hard to create an identity for himself. like mourinho is known as a master of counter-attacking football, guardiola is known as a master of tiki taka, etc. he wants to be known as a master of something too. he believes (or he pretends to believe) that this ridiculous 3-man defense formation is his specialty, something that he's good at, and he wants people to recognize him for that. too bad it's obviously not working well for him. he needs to stop shoving it down our throats (and his own as well) ffs.

2-0 win against some unknown team last nite in the europa league.

the result is okay, but it was horrible performance wise. bored the fark out of me and i just felt like sleeping the whole match. quite surprised how did i manage to stay on until the end.

d'ambrosio is developing a habit of scoring in EL. icardi with a clinical finish to wrap up the match.

This post has been edited by farktard: Oct 3 2014, 03:01 PM

i think i'm still not convinced too we'll see this weekend.

against fiorentina at the artemio franchi? meh, i don't put any hope.

but who knows? we are not "pazza inter" for no reason

Oh dear

i must be a terrible sinner to be punished via my unexplainable love and support for this hopeless team.

nothing could be done about the first 2 goals as sometimes screamers go in. but what frustrated me was the fact that we didn't seem like we cared to react after that. instead it was headless chicken football all the way since that moment. typical inter that we have seen so often since gasperini took over in 2011/2012 (yeah we still played decent football under benitez and leonardo, i would take any of them over mazzarri in a heartbeat atm. heck, bring back hector cuper now and i'd still be okay with that )

This post has been edited by farktard: Oct 6 2014, 04:40 PM

, there aren't many options ATM right now .

seriously no comment here. Fiorentina had a much weaker squad compared to ours and we still got grinded as hell. same goes as Cagliari.

This post has been edited by darthbii: Oct 6 2014, 07:24 PM

a draw against napoli at the meazza. not a bad result. like inter, napoli is not doing so well domestically as well but they are of course still a good team. so, i'm okay with it.

Particularly not impressed by the defence as seen in the highlights. Mistakes by Vidic and a lack of marking on Callejon gifted him a brace. Other than that, everything should have been fine (eg. Guarin coming on and scoring immediately and a troll header goal by Hernanes ) .We already conceeded 9 goals in 3 games, what a shock .

Anyway, I'm very proud of the team's mentality as it has improved quite a bit as they didnt give up after conceeding. However, we have a long long way to go.

The draw today just shows what I mean by 'long long way to go' our team is towards going to the top.

In other news :
Moratti family leaves Inter

grazie to the moratti family, especially massimo moratti. undeniably, the biggest interista on this planet.

regarding the draw against saint etienne, i didn't watch the game. no live telecast on astro and perhaps i wouldn't have watched it even if there was. i don't give a single shit about europa league unless we win it eventually. but that is very unlikely to me. no way with this pathetic team.

long long way to go towards going to the top indeed. long long way to go to see a glorious sight like this again.

unconvincing display against cesena. but 3 points in the bag nonetheless. so i have no complaint. we have downgraded to a relegation team of late, so a win against another relegation team is always fine.

Oh great, another match tomorrow, against an undefeated Sampdoria .

We wonnnnnn

Thanks Icardi.

another 1-0 win, which the only goal came from the penalty spot.

i didn't see the game. but i heard the team put up a decent display, despite being so wasteful. but who the fark cares? another 3 points. we can win every game like this for all i care. troll win or not, who gives a shit?

Hahaa, would be fun to win against Juve like this

He's in Schalke if not mistaken...

Upcoming match : Parma vs Inter



The Squad :
Goalkeepers: 1 Handanovic, 30 Carrizo, 46 Berni
Defenders: 5 Juan Jesus, 6 Andreolli, 15 Vidic, 22 Dodò, 23 Ranocchia, 25 Mbaye, 54 Donkor
Midfielders: 10 Kovacic, 17 Kuzmanovic, 18 Medel, 20 Obi, 27 Gnoukouri, 29 Camara, 44 Krhin, 88 Hernanes
Attackers: 8 Palacio, 9 Icardi, 28 Puscas, 97 Bonazzoli

Parma's squad :
Coric, Iacobucci, Mirante, Costa, De Ceglie, Felipe, Gobbi, Lucarelli, Mendes, Rispoli, Ristovski, Santacroce, Acquah, Lodi, Lucas Souza, Mariga, Mauri, Sarr, Jeraldino, Cassano, Coda, Ghezzal, Palladino

Best chance for Mazzarri to get 3 wins in a row . As always, the players must not underestimate these basement dwellers like against Cagliari where we would be punished badly thereafter. Other than Mirante, Lodi and Cassano ( ), we should be pretty good to handle the rest and hoping to wake up to a win tomorrow.

Oh dear

facepalms all around. mazzarri was facepalming a lot last night i noticed. not sure if it's him, the formation, or the players is the real problem, or maybe all of those. we were pathetic. no threatening attacking move whatsoever, so predictable as ever, it's too easy to defend against us. our only tactic is passing the ball around among ourselves before finally passing it to one of the wingbacks and whipping in those hopeless crosses.

and i've never really liked obi. he's perhaps the most boring and bland of our players. i don't even know what he is good at. and palacio is getting that milito syndrome. his touches were awful last nite. we can't score from open play ffs. we badly miss khal drogo. damn, when will he be fit to play again?

I'll admit I'm all the while trying to be on Mazzarri's side but he keeps disappointing. One more disappointing performance in the league and that's it, I'll officially be moving into the "Mazzarri Out" bandwagon.

Our options ain't good either, Mancini, Moyes or Mihajlovic - ffs they won't fair better. We need a dynamic coach who is flexible in tactics and focuses on ingraining youth to the team, somehow I miss Strama .

This post has been edited by darthbii: Nov 2 2014, 09:39 PM

OFFICIAL STATEMENT :

MILAN - FC Internazionale would like to announce that Walter Mazzarri has been relieved of his duties as first team coach.

The club would like to thank Mazzarri for the commitment, dedication and professionalism he showed over his 17 months in charge. Today's training session will be taken by Giuseppe Baresi.


My view : Personally, I do not hope Mancini takes over. Rather, I'd hope Baresi stand in for the remaining of the season until we find a good replacement next season.

Welkambing Mancini. CBP mesti happy. Expecting United bashing post by him

Oh, its Mancini!

Still going to support him and wish him the best. However, us fans should at least try to not be so optimistic after so many coach changes, won't be that bad until we see #ManciniOut one day.

oh. ermahgerd. that was so sudden.

welcome back, mancio.

aye i am not too optimistic about this. for some unknown reason i was optimistic when mazzarri first came to replace strama and we all know how it turned out in the end. but unlike mazzarri, mancio is a proven winner so he can't be worse than mazzarri surely, or i hope so.

no more 3 at the back at least? tho sometimes i feel the formation isn't the real culprit. maybe it's the players themselves. the mentality, quality and all. they are just not good enough.

good luck nonetheless. i consider you a legend mancio. bring back days of glory to inter please.

Derby Della Madonnina : Milan vs Inter


Probable lineups :


Looking forward to Mancini's new tactical setup which could prove the dealbreaker in this fiery game. Not much to say here. Apart from wishing the team all the best and three points, I would finally be able to catch this match. Nevertheless as always, may the best team win and Forza Inter per sempre!!!

1-1 .

A result that is ok, but I still think we could've won if Icardi had finished better. Despite some lapses of Mazzarri-like tactics, I'm going to admit I'm starting to like this Inter now. A comeback from Menez's goal and a lot of hunger to get the winning goal, hats off to the team.

Of course, it ain't all that good. With bad passes and a couple of poor defending in which SES almost scored and we were lucky. Overall tho, 7/10.

yeah. not a bad result and we played quite good especially the first 10-15 minutes. yeah, icardi did fark that one up. seems like the only way for us to win a goddamn game is by scoring first. but why do we always have to concede first?

but still content. at least the team looked more organized and not clueless like when we were under mazzarri. kuzmanovic was pretty impressive as well, which was surprising.

Upcoming Match : Roma vs Inter


Probable Lineups :


All the best to Mancini on this one. Not too optimistic about this one but who knows, we might win.

Dodo and Osvaldo would be eager to start against their former team, as does Maicon who will star for the Giallarossi against us.

Forza Inter per sempre!

This post has been edited by darthbii: Nov 30 2014, 10:04 PM

Roma vs Inter - Match ends 4-2. Can't really help it with the quality of Roma's players, as a team, they are light years ahead. Anyway, the spirit was what we wanted to see at least, and it kind of is there as we got level twice. Many individual mistakes (eg. Guarin for the last minute FK), bad link up and crosses (Mazzarri-like) coupled with a poor defence and a too adventurous Dodo, its the best we can get for now.

Next match : Stramacionni's Udinese

This post has been edited by darthbii: Dec 1 2014, 05:43 AM

i did expect we would lose, and we did. we lost to a better team, simple as that.

yeah, now that we have played napoli, milan, roma, fiorentina. most of our remaining games for the first half of the season should be winnable. i hope we will not drop so many points now or we can forget about that thrice-damned third UCL spot.

Lol Mazzarri be damned. Look at Sassuolo, they are now ahead of us in the table .

I expect a strong showing against Udinese but hope it won't get too emotional as Stramaccioni and Deki would be there .

Sometimes, we just have to accept that we are really really bad.

i just don't give a shite anymore. we win, i'm happy. we lose, so what?

better get used to that mindset now. but at least we can still boast about our 2010 treble triumph to make ourselves feel better. though even mourinho won't be able to mend this faktap circumstance that we're in rite now.

Chievo 0-2 Inter

Initially, I had not wanted to catch this match but a stuffy nose got me up for one and a half hour. What can I say, I'm impressed with what I've seen.

Many positives we can take from this match with Kova grabbing a goal, a helpful Icardi (despite not being influential in the second half) and at last a spirited team that was constantly pushing for another goal (evident after we scored our second).

However, the defence tended to be shaky when relied on with Handa and our offensive play keeping Chievo's attack diminished.

Everyone put in a solid performance from Medel, DÁmbrosio to even Kuz. Guarin on the other hand, was kind of good in distributing play but had he not messed up our counters, we could've have scored past 5. Nagatomo was just ok and I'm happy the offense is good even without Osvaldo playing.

We should all rally behind Mancini as he knows what's he doing. Get him a couple of wingers, quality defenders and most importantly time. Of course, still lower your expectations because this is just Chievo but I can see the good work of Mancini here.

Finally, 3 points for our returning coach. Forza Inter!!

that's good to know.

i didn't watch the game, didn't even bother to watch it if truth be told. but i'll watch the repeat telecast tonight i guess.

we'll play celtic in the europa league. will not be easy surely . duh, everything is never easy for us, save sassuolo

yeah keep our expectations low and forza inter.

I see hehe. Celtic is surely a tough opponent. On the side note, Sassulo is a point behind us thanks to Mazzarri . I think if Mancio had taken over quicker, we could've have gained more ground especially fixtures against the weaker teams in the start of the season. It's the past and something past that still regrets me is why we pulled the plugged on Bonaventura. Born Interista, agile and creative. Well, he would fit into Mancio's tactics but not Mazzarri who cares about defending, crossing going for a draw .

The Lazio match is this upcoming Monday and I think it'll be the last morning match I'll wake up to watch for the season. Other times, I'll just catch 10 pm matches which is very rare .

Inter vs Lazio. Match ends 2-2.

I think we really can't complain of the result especially being pegged behind 2 goals before the second half. Good comeback from the team for the final 25 minutes or so. And we only certainly start to play well in the second half which is . If only we could play like that the whole match, I'm very sure this would've been a win.

Positives:
- managed to comeback from 2 goals
- Kovacic scored
- Palacio ends his goal drought
- Bonazzoli is seriously an interesting prospect

Negatives :
- Guarin
- bad first half
- poor consistency (excluding the play after Kovacic scored)

Obviously, its a fair result here but I do feel we should've have won it had we played like in the final 25 minutes the whole match. Next up though, Juventus . Forza Inter nevertheless!!

**
Forgot to state, I only watched the second half and from what I've read around, the tactical blunder of putting Dodo instead of Medel costed us and Medel was actually key to stabilizing the defence.

This post has been edited by darthbii: Dec 22 2014, 06:01 AM

i only watched the 1st half, then got pissed off and decided to sleep.

yes, medel is crucial for us. not saying he's a good DM, but at least he does what is expected of a DM. you can't expect kuz, kova, or guarin to play such a role, mancio. our defense is a joke, so at least have the wits to play a proper DM at all times. speaking of DM, where the heck is m'villa? injured?

Kinda feel bad for you man, the second half was seriously good (well for me at least).

Yep, they aren't attributed to do that. And just exclude Kova, he has to be the creative force and shouldn't have to defend much but just push and push forward.

Hmm speaking of M'Villa, he isn't injured but I remember reading he hasn't been at his best fitness due to not playing much in Russia before he came. I'm kinda worried if our coach isn't patient enough to wait for him to regain his best and in the end not buying him permanently.

***
wait, we do have another match before the year ends and it's a friendly between PSG on the 30th. well, not gonna catch it anyway .

Mercato News January :

BREAKING NEWS!

It's confirmed. Podolski to Inter!

Next in waiting : Xherdan Shaqiri

Welcome to Inter Podolski!


Hope he'll be a huge success with us like how Gervinho is with Roma.

Particularly impressed with the coordination between the management and Mancio as with him, the club's ambition has heightened and we are starting to aim higher for top targets. I'll doubt that we would have pulled it off with Mazzarri still as head coach.


Forza Inter!

Just drooling at the thought of Shaqiri here , finally quality target for us.

We'll likely get more details as soon as Wednesday.

SM: Inter & Liverpool duel for Shaqiri, the offers, & players choice
Sport Mediaset report that the three are now seriously down to two.

Inter and Liverpool remain in the Shaqiri chase. Liverpool have money readied now, €14 million by many accounts. While Bayern would prefer immediate purchase, the player prefers Inter. After speaking with Ausilio, his family, and agent/brother Erdin, the player decidedly wants to join the Nerazzurri. The Milanese club’s offer is €3 million immediately for a loan, and €12 million to be paid starting in the summer, with payments over the next three years.

Source: Sport Mediaset

Comment :
So far good news here . We could accept his signature as soon as this week if all goes well.

BREAKING : Inter has an agreement with Shaqiri

Inter has an agreement in principle with Xherdan Shaqiri. This is what Sky Sport reports and the channel also reports that what remains is negotiating and finding an agreement with Bayern to finish the deal. The Swiss international is Mancini’s prefered player, but this doesn’t mean Inter gives up on Lavezzi. One of the two players could arrive because they have been chosen by the coach. Lavezzi knew that he would be punished and fined by PSG, having a war with the club doesn’t convince any players but “Il Pocho” could still be sold.

Comment :
Oh my a Derby d'Italia to start the new year?! Well, nothing much I can say but Forza Inter! Will be catching the match and I hope I don't get dissapointed.
What our players have to believe in is that they can do it and have what it takes to win the game! We might not have the better squad but the players must have the right mentality when approaching this game. No more losing and no more settling for draws. If we are to prove that we are challenging for that third spot, this has to be a win. Heck even Genoa managed to defeat them, and they do not have a better team than Juventus - par us too. It would be good to see those Rube scums falter - at their own stadium!

Forza Inter per sempre!

EDIT : On the side note, reports have claimed that Podolski has signed the contract .

Rubentus vs Inter : Match ends 1-1
Missed this due to not waking up on time .
Anyway, just catched on the highlights and reports, once again I think it was kind of like a repeat of the Lazio game where they dominated in the first half and we only ever start playing well in the second.
Not much to say but I'm happy we could overturn the result.
Handa really must stay, until we get better defenders, he is the one always saving us .
Idk about Kova's red though. .
Icardi too should stay. He can develop well into a lethal finisher, just watch that goal he had us equalising.

Forza Inter!

EDIT: Oh my maybe I shouldn't have been too hyped with Icardi. He missed what a close chance that could've got us winning!

This post has been edited by darthbii: Jan 7 2015, 06:37 AM

i watched the game and my word, what a crazy game it was.

osvaldo went apeshit on icardi, kovacic with that nasty tackle and got sent off for that. and icardi, he was both the hero and villain for us in that game.

we were horrible and clueless in the 1st half, but in the 2nd half we totally looked like a different team. especially when poldi came on, we played good, very good indeed. we were all over them and suddenly it was juve who looked shaky, nervous, and terrified.

damn, that sitter missed by icardi. if only he got that right.

but i'm still happy with the result. we were playing against the best team in the league on their own turf and gave them a difficult time as well. so i don't have much to complain i guess.

poldi seems very promising. really like how quickly he has adapted to the team. he seems a very likable dude too, smiling, making japes, laughing. and that passion he showed in that game, just incredible. forza poldi, forza inter.

there are talks that we have terminated osvaldo's loan contracts. not sure how much truth is there in those talks, but if it's true, it's a shame then. i really like osvaldo, i rate him better than icardi if truth be told. but why? can't be just because of his outburst at icardi?

This post has been edited by farktard: Jan 8 2015, 05:09 PM

I read that Osvaldo too shouted at Mancio other than Icardi.
I'm the same, I would not want him to leave. He plays with a lot of grinta (passion) and good technique. Don't really buy into these reports and let's just hope all three of them can sort this out properly.

Amidst the bad internal problems, we kind of have happy news .
Shaqiri is ever closer to Inter and is more of reality than a dream!
The deal is expected to be closed shortly but sometimes you never know especially competing with a PL club offering more $ . Still I'm very hopeful we could see Shaq in the Genoa match.

After that, better fix that damn defence! Finally Rano is benched and I hope either Vidic or Andreolli can displace him out of the XI.

on paper, that line-up is sick indeed.

I wouldn't call him a midget especially since he's around my height
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he could do wonders to our team. We just got to believe.

In other bad news, Osvaldo has received a suspension from the Genoa game as well as a hefty fine by the team. I hope he sure stays, we still need his quality and I hope he apologizes.
Frankly, this hasn't been the first time actually he's gone mad and shouted at a teammate at Inter. I read that Nagatomo was his target for delivering him sub par crosses.

Willkomen XHERDAN SHAQIRI



Shaqiri to Inter Channel :

“I feel well and I want to play on Sunday.”

“I’m happy, Forza Inter. The fans? Fantastic”.

Osvaldo is a cancer to the locker room, there's no other way to put it. It wouldn't be long before he punch someone (again) and piss off the fans.

by the way, great pickup there for Shaqiri, i always think that he's kinda wasted at Bayern.

Thank you for your time here fellow Romanista .

Yeah, its true about Osvaldo. But I think this incident shows more of his passion and will to prove Rube wrong instead of his personal desires. I agree he should've have actually kept calm as there is no guarantee he could've scored it.
In the long run, it might be bad but we can't really get an affordable player at his technicality level considering our economic ties currently so we have to keep him! I think we should give him another chance and hope he settles this well.

I'm kind of backing Roma this season a little, you know to crush those Zebras .

hey guys the Shaqiri deal...is it permanent or loan with buy option?

Loan with option to buy at 15 mil and could rise to 17-18 mil with bonuses being paid over 4 years.

Yeah, the club's broke and thats why I'm so happy the management still managed to thwart Liverpool that offered more cash and outright payment.

OFFICIAL : XHERDAN SHAQIRI SIGNS FOR FC INTERNAZIONALE MILANO TOGETHER WITH KOVACIC RENEWING TILL 2019



To the Osvaldo news, I don't really buy into those rumours of him leaving. The media probably is just blowing it up to different proportions instead.

nice to see other posters in this thread once in a while. i thought it was going to be an eternally two-way conversation between me and darthbii.

aye inter fans are currently so in the mood and pumped up for the next game against genoa. anything less than a win is unacceptable.

Yeah haha, lol at times when I posted updates when you weren't frequently checking here, I thought I was chatting to myself .

Upcoming Match : Inter vs Genoa

Our Squad :
Goalkeepers: 1 Handanovic, 30 Carrizo, 46 Berni
Defenders: 6 Andreolli, 14 Campagnaro, 15 Vidic, 22 Dodo, 25 Mbaye, 33 D’Ambrosio, 54 Donkor
Midfielders: 13 Guarin, 17 Kuzmanovic, 18 Medel, 20 Obi, 44 Krhin, 88 Hernanes, 90 M’Vila
Attackers: 8 Palacio, 9 Icardi, 11 Podolski, 28 Puscas, 91 Shaqiri, 97 Bonazzoli

Their Squad :
Goalkeepers: 1 Perin, 23 Lamanna, 40 Prisco;
Defenders: 3 Antonini, 4 De Maio, 5 Izzo, 8 Burdisso, 13 Antonelli, 21 Edenilson, 87 Rosi;
Midfielders: 20 Costa, 33 Kucka, 38 Mandragora, 69 Sturaro, 88 Rincon, 91 Bertolacci;
Strikers: 16 Lestienne, 18 Fetfatzidis, 24 Falqué, 32 Matri,

My last watched game before I move off and stop updating regularly here . As you can see, our team is much much better in individual qualities compared to Genoa's squad but Genoa have been strong all season (winning to Jube) because they are united and play as a team. Matri, Kucka and Bertolacci are kinda the ones Inter has to be wary of in attack as well as their defensive counterparts Burdisso and Antonelli together with a very good keeper in Perin.

Match is 7.30 pm in Malaysia later today and I definitely would catch it. Hoping to see the second half Inter against Jube and Lazio for the majority of the time. Hoping this to be a win to catch up against that 3rd spot and prove it into Gasperini's face for dissing us all the time.

Forza Inter per sempre!

Inter vs Genoa. Match ends 3-1.
Superb first half but unconvincing second half. Can't really blame the team though as Genoa switched to full fledged attack during the second half and the team couldn't really keep up with their tempo. But still, a very spectacular win with Palacio getting his 2nd of the season, Icardi once again and Vidic his first goal in Inter colours!

A lot of positives we can take from this match. We are finally having a proper identity and no more useless Mazzarri crossing but a whole possesive conserving short passes. Finally, Guarin did spectacular thanks to lesser responsibilities playing with Poldi (really deserved a goal for all that passionate running). Finally the defense was doing good and evidently with the absence of Rano. Vidic really still has it and playing in a 4 man defense is his best. Medel as always safeguarded the defense. Too bad we have to wait for Shaqiri's debut next week .

Guarin is my MOTM for winning us plentiful possesion and just doing what the coach expects. Up close is Poldi and this is followed by Vidic.

Keep going like this and we are sure closer to 3rd place. Still, there is room to improve especially in the second half.

Forza Inter per sempre!

the first half was a joy to watch, but in the second half, we looked indeed unconvincing like you pointed out. what's with us always having one good half and one bad half ? this has been going on for quiet some time now and it seems like even mancini hasn't been able to fix that yet. do something about it ffs, please.

guarin was amazing in the first half. there was one run he made, skipping past his marker with sheer athleticism. should have just blasted it there. a shame he decided to be unselfish when he should have chosen to be selfish. but yeah, a superb performance.

vidic, yes a commanding display by him. that's what we expect from a world-class centre back like vidic. he struggled with that ridiculous three-man defence (of course, everybody would with that thrice-damned stupid tactic), but in a formation with a back four he's just class. poldi was great in the first half, but almost invisible in the second. a shame we couldn't see shaqiri making his debut.

what, where are you going mate? come on, school is only back in session. bugger your academic books. it's too damn early to be squinting at them.

It's just for this year I'll have to put full focus on my education but don't worry, I'll still follow the team closely. Just not going to wake up and watch match or update here that often. Hope more Interisti discover this thread to keep you entertain dude .

oh i laughed so hard when this happened.

aye i understand. i wish you all the best. you'll nail it i know.

Lol I hope so.
Guess it'll be an amazing match in front of your eyes next week. Guarin, Poldi, Shaq, Kova and Icardi, not to forget Hernanes .

Hmm... I saw Osvaldo on the stands though. And he seemed kinda ok when Icardi scored. I hope there is room for them to mend what has set them apart.

we drew 0-0 last night.

i forgot who were playing against though, was it real madrid or bayern munich? can't recall.

oh wait, i remember now. it was empoli.

completely outplayed by empoli. nice one inter.

LOL. What happened? I'm kinda curious. As of what I've read, Mancio f***ed up?

sometimes football can be funny. such a difficult game to comprehend. not so long ago, we put an impressive display against juventus (undeniably the best team in the league) at their home ground. i would say we were on par with them in that game tbh. nah, we could have won the game really.

but last night, playing against f***ing empoli of all teams, we were totally outclassed in every department. at some point of the game, i couldn't help but wonder if we were actually playing against 11 players? it seemed like they were playing with 843683462067 players (okay, that's an exaggeration but you know what i mean). they were simply all over us. they were all over the place that we couldn't even keep the ball for 3 secs ffs. their energy, their pressing, their game plan. oh they were so damn good that every one of their players looked like ronaldo and messi and yaya toure and pirlo and hummels and thiago silva combined.

we were lucky to get away with a point. if not for handa's heroics (as always), we would have been spanked so hard in the arse. credit to both our centre backs as well. rano and vidic were solid.

did mancini f*** it up? well, take a look at the line-up that started last night's game.

handa
campa rano vidic d'ambro
guarin medel
palacio hernanes poldi
icardi

i don't know. maybe pairing guarin and medel together as defensive midfielders was a terrible idea. maybe not starting kovacic was one as well. and palacio... well, he's clearly past it. bad touches, bad decisions. there were two good goal scoring chances involving him. first, he stupidly decided to head the ball when it was clearly easy to just control the ball and shoot it with his foot. second, he decided to pass when he could have just taken a shot. shaqiri did make his debut and did okay. there was nothing he could do when all his team mates were playing like they didn't care (expect handa, vidic, and rano).

in conclusion, definitely a game to forget.
