Don't have one.
We've been losing games with our "best" lineup all the time, so who fucking cares who plays. We aint getting top 4 anyway.
Yeah, people see it as capitulation, I see it as a totally desperate move.

And he doesn't want to change a formation, so this is what he has left in terms of trying something new. But as i v said, this type of shit you do at the start of the season, so you don't get in a situation where you need to rest your key players in a crucial part of the season like he has to now.

Comical lineup from Limone. Empoli about to pull off a historical double against us.

Games we lost with him were vs Milan, Lazio and Roma... only shit team we lost with him was Spezia. Lets not act like hes the main reason Inter sucks at the moment.

It struck me that there's literally zero players in this lineup (and barely any in the greater squad) who could be considered "on the up" or even coming off any positive momentum.

Handanovic - 38 years old and severely finished. A liability who should've retired 2 years ago

D'Ambrosio - was always a mediocre player but had some cult-hero moments, is about 3 years past his prime (as a mediocre player)
De Vrij - absolutely shocking decline in the last 48 months. One of the most extremely depreciated assets in world football having lost about 80% of his market value in 2 years
Acerbi - a solid-at-best defender but a few years past his prime

Bellanova - mediocre young player who will likely never amount to much
Gagliardini - basically the midfield Bellanova of a previous generation, is leaving in 2 months after a failed career at the top level
Brozovic - one of the the few excellent players in the team but is a nutcase who has spent 75% of the season injured
Calhanoglu - one of the rare players who has had a good season but is also coming off an injury
Gosens - still a shadow of his Atalanta self

Lukaku - probably the biggest joke in world foortball. Is following up the 2nd worst season in his life with the worst season in his life
Correa - a joke of a player who will go down as one of the worst transfers in the last 2 decades

I'll delete it anyways, if we lose I'll delete it immediately without even watching highlights, if we win I see the highlights and delete it.

I keep only games that mean something, like vs Crotone to win the Scudetto, the cup/supercup finals vs Juventus last year, beating Milan 3-0 three years in a row, the CL games this season stay (for now) if we beat Milan. There are levels to what you keep, for how long you keep it etc.

Judging by the lineup Simone knows he's only chance of CL football next season is the CL trophy.

Predicting a sluggish match with empoli taking the points in the dying minutes.

You guys ever find it funny how hard we have to work to even get within 20 yards of the opponent’s goal, whereas we’re completely undone by them lumping the ball over the top? :lol:

Early sunday game, opponent battling against relegation, Lukaku, Correa, Gagliardini, Bellanova, D'ambrosio all on the pitch at the same time.

We're not winning this one boys.

Agree, but imo the biggest problem here beside their objective quality is the fact those players you mentioned like gaglia or bellanova didn't even have a chance to build a momentum during the season. It's like, here you get to start your first game in ages while we are trying to catch our absolutely last train to cl. I'm absolutely amazed how inzaghi is genuinely tone-deaf to those sorts of things. We played three competitions with full intensity with more or less same players...

Lukaku went from thinking he's a top 5 striker in the world into believing that he's not even a top 5 striker in his own family...
