From January 6,2016 to yesterday, Belotti has scored 24 league goals (14 from Jan to May last season + 10 this year so far).

From January 6,2016 to yesterday, Icardi has scored 18 league goals (8 from Jan to May last season + 10 this year so far).

Yeah double checked, and these are correct from Jan 6,2016 to today. Including Coppa Italia goals which Icardi didn't score any.

How do their opponents over this period compare?

Are people serious?

This whole thread is reminding me of bullshit thread. People spending 60m euro on Icardi for a reason. Stupid mofoes.

Because we all know teams never over-value players. I think if he was really worth 60m euros we would probably have scored more goals than Cagliari.

Money paid for a player means nothing at all. We've signed Cambiasso for free, and Kondogbia for +30m. I don't need to explain the different in quality between the two.

Horrible horrible performance. A 2 out of 10 really. He was under pressure and we don't know why this happened.

I don't know what to say at these Icardi is not good enough for Inter posts, give the guy a break. Okay, he maybe one dimensional, limited but he is only 23 remember and his movement has greatly improved compared to past seasons. You don't score 70 goals in like 140 matches for no reason. Again, I'm not comparing him to Milito, Crespo because I don't want to but if the whole Argentinian nation wants him in the Argie lineup instead of Higuain then there must be a reason. As for him disappearing in big games, he has scored late in pressure times v Juventus, Fiorentina, Roma, Lazio. His performance against Juventus was a masterpiece. Put aside your frustrations and emotions for a second and give him a break. All of you will be smiling when you see those similar hands up in celebration in the next match. Any big club in Europe would love to have a striker who has scored 70 in 140 games.

What Ali said and on top of that despite his very shitty game against BBilan he still has arguably been our best and most consistent performer this season it can only be argued that Handa has been better thus far. All the rest of our team has had more ups and downs and put in more shitty performances then he did.

sawyerAC · Nov 22, 2016

lots of clubs wouldnt touch the player that icardi is .. especially not a contender for CL .. bench player at best for a top club..

as for Belotti, you can forget about him coming to Inter. its like berardi going to Milan , theres just noway

agree, but think the manner of his performance means a lot. I mean, against the city rivals and he just looked like he didn't care. He actually looked afraid the entire match.

I agree with that and as i said before in the match thread it looked to me like the first game where the pressure actually got to him. I mean there was a lot of talk about how he has not scored against BBilan and so on.

I ll be worried if these kind of performances start to come on a more regular basis from him.

JJM · Nov 22, 2016

We can't play some sexy football with him as he isn't actively involved in the build up of our attacks, modern football demands it,but he can't as he doesn't need have the skills to do it
He scores yes but we are still 9th with only 18 goals scored
Toro have Belotti and are at number 29!
Because the entrie team moves around like a single unit and Belottti does too

Ofc we played

Perisic------------------Icardi-----------------Candri

Oh FdB...

Icardi alone in the box waiting for crosses
Genius gameplan tbh
But it's not like Icardi moves around much

I don't give a fuck about the fact he had a bad game. I give a damn about the amount of goals we score with him as our main striker.

As for Belotti. I like him, but other than extra physicality he doesn't bring anything particularly interesting to the table. Although, his style is certainly more suitable to be a lone striker than Icardi.

how many sitters did perisic and candreva miss this year? We are playing posession football with counterattacking players. We don't have a single player that can make a pass to break defenses,don't act as if jovetic played we'd be better, or anyone else for that matter.

and you are so predictable shaun, so fucking predictable every time you pop up in here after a shitty game as the shitty game has been the standard the whole season. If another striker does horrible its because his team suck, if icardi sucks its because he is holding is back, you are similar to browha, pick a certain point and be a stubborn fuck, especially for the striker that has most goals+ assist in top5 leagues.

interbk · Nov 22, 2016

I think we should start using two strikers i.e. Eder and Icardi upfront. We need someone who can hold the ball upfront. Leaving Icardi alone makes us so limited

10 goals + 3 assists icardi tied with Belotti and Diego Khosta

varmin · Nov 22, 2016

He is perfect for counter attacking football, against team with high defensive lines like Napoli. But against teams sitting deep and 10 players defending with, he needs different approach cuz hanging near the last defender brings us nothing.

Glass box · Nov 22, 2016

He'll score twice against Viola.

I think that if Handanovic was actually any good, we wouldn't have conceded as many goals as we have while he's been our goalkeeper.

Anyway, I'm too lazy to be making the same speech again, so I'll just copy paraphrases from an older post of mine (from February, to be exact), since we're still discussing the exact same thing:

Secondly, I don't know how you'd come to the conclusion that Icardi is the problem here. Yes, he isn't technically well-rounded like many other strikers that are the focal point of attacks around Europe. But then again, you have players like Falcao, who was the world's best out-and-out striker and he couldn't do anything with the ball at his feet that Mauro can't, and his build-up play wasn't anything to applaud as well.
We've seen time and time again, that Icardi's willing to drop deep on his own accord (way to deep in any solid system, which this Mancini's Inter isn't) and that for instance, he can cross the ball better than anyone else in the team.

Look at how well a "dynamic" attack worked against Milan. Look at how little we created in Naples untill around the 70'th minute. Look at how we've played and how many chances we've come to without or with Icardi. It basically doesn't make a difference. We aren't particular dangerous with Icardi on the field, we aren't particular dangerous without him on it. We aren't particular dangerous with Jovetic on or off the field. Same could be say of Ljajic, to a lesser extent. The problem isn't any single player, it's the system. It's dumbfounding to me how you or anyone else can't see this.

Put Icardi instead of Morata. You'd have lesser work-rate, but probably double the amount of goals. Put him instead of Dzeko, and you'd have a side that scores as many goals as Napoli. Hell, a fucking former-Blackburn Rovers player has managed to score 10 for Fiorentina, what'd you think Icardi could achieve there?

We've got a player here, that could become one of the world's best out-and-out attackers. If he were in another team, JJM and enjoy would be falling over backwards, trying to come up with rumors of him joining us. As is, the grass is always greener on the other side.

To return to the "we'd score more with a mobile striker"-argument, in the 2011/12 and 2012/2013 seasons, without Icardi, we scored 58 and 55 goals respectively. Since he joined, we've scored 62, 59 and 50 goals in the last three seasons. So we can speculate all we want, but the stats don't really back that thesis up.

Joker · Nov 22, 2016

the fact that he hasn't scored against Bilan is getting on his head and affecting his performance I think, he seemed nervous.

Then adjust your gameplan to suit him so that he scores more goals. If he is isolated upfront with 2 wingers then play a supporting striker with him like how Crespo was partnered by Ibra. This is the coach's duty to maximise output of his players. Find a way to stop Icardi getting isolated upfront and at the same time make him learn what Milito was used to do apart from scoring goals.
