Lecce - Inter (7 Feb 09)

[Bes]

We'll start the 23rd week of Serie A in ground of Lecce who come from the win against Siena as a guest. I don't think we'll have probs this game, it'll be just like vs Catania. Still will miss Adriano, and Muntari will be back.

FORZZA INTER!!!

Just like we didn't have probs against Torino at home. It seems our players can't concentrate on these small team matches at Serie A at all now when the CL is closing. We can't take any match for granted.

Exactly... I'm so sick of Inter making these bottom teams look amazingly good. There not, that's why there bottom of the table. Away, a draw is fair enough but at Home we should be dominating but we don't unless we are down 1 nil in the second half... That's when everybody wakes up.

Lets please stop expecting any kind of walks in the park...

I hope to see Crespo on the field and maybe give Quaresma a shot from the begining this time.We need him to do well and the only way to get there is by playing him.

We should be thinking about resting some players too...Milan,then United are next

[Il Muro]

any news on Stank's injury?

Agreed.

Crespo looks better than Cruz - and i say it time and again, Cruz is an entirely different player when he comes off the bench compared to when he is starting.

And yeah, we need to give Quaresma a prolonged run. We cant just expect him to perform if we wplay him once every 4th or 5th match.

any news on Stank's injury?

I hope Samuel n Chivu are back for this match.

[nutcracker]

yeah, thats some good answer on that question. ><

[Energy]

We should ass raped them like 4-0 just to show people whutsup

Not the way we have been playing lately...

[lonewolf19]

No more slip ups. We really need to find our forms before fighting Milan and Man Utd. Both team are doing well and this is the game we must win.

[rockball]

Why are you posting that in each match thread?

[mike_inter]

Samuel.Chivu,Materazzi plus Vieira back in training with the rest team today...

seems that they'll be available for the Lecce game..good news..

[AntonTheGreat]

with players coming back, this being our most healthy (not form) team in a while, and playing LECCE, this should be at least a 2 goal deficit win. Then again, this is inter, and we are playing a small team in lecce, we shall see.

[lonewolf19]

I have a strong feeling Balotelli will be back for this game. The drama went on for quite a while and the transfer window closes. In addition, we lost Ricky Q during the winter so our squad will be even less of attackers.

[nzinter]

i hope he starts

[mexican_azzurri]

Inter rally needs win this match, if not the pressure before derby gonna be HUGE.

[Alessandro]

Stankovic will definitely be back for this one according to reports... Good news.

[lonewolf19]

Sandrodiosi, here is the report

Stank boost for Inter

Inter have been handed a boost with the news that Dejan Stankovic will be fit to play against Lecce this weekend.

The Serbian midfielder has had several injury problems so far this season and was forced to limp off during a 1-1 draw with Torino just before half-time.

There had been fears that the muscular injury could keep Stankovic out for a significant period, but he resumed full training this morning and reported no pain.

Inter struggled past Lecce in Week 4, needing a late Julio Cruz strike to secure a 1-0 win and can expect fierce resistance at Via Del Mare.

Jose Mourinho will still be without a number of names for the trip south, including Francesco Bolzoni, Marco Materazzi, Walter Samuel, Cristian Chivu and Patrick Vieira.
