Fiorentina - Inter (13 Jan 21)

[PHM1605]

There is no excuse for Conte to not deliver in Coppa. Winning is the minimum and the realistic target for we do not have European competition anymore, the quality of opponents in Coppa are much lesser than UCL or EL, and the path to final is very short. Anything than reaching the final can be considered total failure and even worse than finishing last in UCL group.


The lineup screams massive defensive frailties, but we should still ease past them due to our sheer quality especially in offence. Lolarov will be the obvious focus of their attack and the scoreline will depend a lot on him preventing Callejon to pull off his signature move of ghosting from his blindside. And, if Eriksen-Sensi-Alexis-Lautaro can perform decently and not wasting 10 clear cut chances then we should be winning.

Coppa is a waste of time because we earn next to nothing even when winning it. Prestige? Napoli and Lazio have won it in the last two years but no one care about it. Their revenues weren’t boosted according to. Money? The prize is a couple of millions and that’s it. Doesn’t worth all the stamina spent on those matches. We have Juve next for instance. Imagine tiredness or injuries here...

People usually ignore Europa League for a reason. But still, that cup grants you a seed 1 in Champions League AND viewers around the world, final matches at least. For Coppa...nah, nobody watch except the two clubs fans.

It's a trophy. Trophies matter. Stop thinking everything in terms of revenue, it sucks up the fun of football.

Need to move Gagliardini back beside Eriksen if this is going to have any chance of working.

In other words, just try the 3-4-1-2 again.

How many times do you need to see it before accepting it simply doesn't work? For Gasperini, sure. For Conte, no. The way he has us playing the 3412 has all the negatives of losing a man in midfield (larger gap, defensively porous) while gaining exactly zero of the offensive benefits of having an attacking midfielder.

Why not Radu you bald fuck?

I know right. Hardly ever rotate then complain that the rotation players don't play well and the first team players get fatigued.

Apparently this is exactly the official line up for us. No Radu.

[Tamirk]

Too bad conte not let radu chance, but its conte so no point to say more, beside that, its will be intresting to see sensi with eriksen in midfield..

Fiorentina lineup is a bit different than GdS prediction. Caceres, Eysseric and Kouame instead of Venuti, Callejon and Vlahovic.

FotMob shows Inter's line-up as 4-2-3-1.

Kolarov - Gags - Rano triangle looks pretty awful enough to concede at least 2 goals.

That's how any sane person would play with this lineup but for Conte only back 3 formations exist.

FotMob is wrong

Anyway. I predict a 6-0 loss. Biraghi and Valero dual hat-tricks.

Last minute change. Also Bonaventura instead of Valero.

Last time we had a last minute change for our opponent, the player scored (Zaza).

And Sensi got injured in the warmup. Vidal will take his place.

[javier_zanetti <3]

Sensi out, Vidal starting. This guy should retire.

[diamen]

Sensi

[Universe]

Wait, WHAT? Vidal is starting over Sensi??????????????????

[Ethor]

Good God, this going to be interesting. Marveling at Inters bench depth...yikes!
