Atletico missed a couple of clear chances as well close to the 90 minute mark, one of them was Griezman if I remember well. Maybe our strikers are as wasteful as the other strikers in the top 8 of CL, bar the ones from City, Bayern, Real and PSG’s Mbappe. Unfortunately we can’t afford that...

First half was really bad. We improved in the second half and Guarin wasn't that bad. He actually intercepted some balls and had good presence. We were better with him on the field. He wasn't that good in passing forwards, you could see he had some good ideas but wasn't good in the...

red is considered the lucky color for Chinese. The latter own part of the club currently and are supposed to be major contributors for building a new stadium. There could be a connection.

If they needed to cover a big distance, that distance shouldn't be there in the first place. You tell the players who covers what space when the teams needs to go forward so that you are not that susceptible to counter attacks. Crosses: Is there anything else than DEFENDING TRAINING that can...

our defense has been terrible under Leo. We were conceding from corners all the time in his first matches, remember? We were struggling to keep a clean sheet, we needed about 5-6 games until we got our first. Again, yesterday, loose defense in the corners, we were failing to clear all crosses...

very good post. Indeed we don't know whether Zenga or Leonardo will do bad or good. In then end it's a matter of how much you believe in someone. If we, for discussion's shake, assume that we hire Ferguson or Hiddink, we would give them, I'm sure, more than 4-5 months of bad results to prove...

How do we know that Benitez does not have the trust and respect of the players? Because of what we read in the press? As I said at the time we were thinking of firing Mancini, it always depends on the alternative. Firing Mancini looks good to me if the alternative is Mourinho. Firing Benitez...

I think he did not have a good enough team to succeed. I don't think he is a bad coach. Plus it is only his first 4 months. You need time to impose your tactics and learn the team. In the meantime he only had youngsters to work with, too many injuries. Remember Van Gaal last year? Would you...

If it's true that we have bought him, we may have done so to use him in a transfer of another player. Pay cash + Sculli, for another player, I mean.

no problem with that, saying that he may leave in the future is very normal, it would be a lie to say otherwise. Not lying is a sign of respect to my eyes.

with all due respect, if he wants to leave, let it be. I am a big supporter of Mourinho but fed up with this drama. Anyone not feeling honoured to be at Inter can leave. We shouldn't beg anyone to stay. Someone said that Inter is being disrespected by this and I agree. Thank you and goodbeye...

I like Felix Magath as a manager. Wherever he has worked he has succeeded, especially with smaller clubs. However we do not know whether he is suited for Italy, he has only coached in Germany. He is relatively young too (well 56). Good in bringing up new players. Of course the best choice is...

I think Felix Magath is a good manager. I don't know whether he is suited for Serie A. But I definitely prefer Mourinho to stay.

It is a famous painting called "the scream" (by a Norwegian painter called Edvard Munch). You can now see the irony :smileani:

He clearly doesn't like belonging to Inter. I don't think it makes much sense to try to keep him, why keep someone who is so unhappy here? For "business" reasons we may want to be diplomatic until we sell him, but I don't think we have much to gain (football-wise) by keeping such an unhappy...
