Inter - Atalanta (11 Jan 20) [1-1]

That was awful, can't believe we actually managed to get a point from that match. I was getting flashbacks of Spalletti during it. Players looked very tired and unfit, a backwards step tonight in terms of Conte's progress this season. Let's hope we can bounce back.

Seems obvious to me our team is prone to losing the midfield battle against good teams. Until we can solve that there will be days like today where we are just overrun for long periods.

Fucking Politano, why that fucker. Sanchez on one leg would be more useful than him.

Zero reaction from Conte. Another hang-on-and-pray match. Why the fuck didn’t he use the 3rd sub? It’s as if he was afraid to touch the match. A uniformly disappointing and passive display from all involved, including the coach.

Fuck, i knew it... we missed a lot of chances and did nothing at the end. Atalanta is really strong, you can't do this shit and think to win with 1 goal advance..

Tbh I could hardly remember our chances, all I recall is waves of these Atalanta cunts all over our ass, what a nightmare.

Handa showed up just in time to save our face and make something look good about Inter in this hideous second half.

We need replacements for Candreva, Biraghi and Gagshitini like fucken yesterday, it's clear as sky they're making the rest of the squad look like clueless school girls. Each time gags gives the ball to Biraghi I facepalm in agony and laughter of how we rely on the pair to build an attack, while admiring how all of the Atalanta players have the ability to dribble past several opponents and pass the ball around with pinpoint one touches they could almost do it blindfolded.

Man we need fucken footballers like these right now,I'm fucken sick of that circus we have bear watching every week.

And wtf is wrong with that Conte's sub? Politano? Is he trying to give bilan an excuse not to take him? And where the fuck is Sanchez??

Shit game, better forget it and move on.

We were like this in all big games we played. Playing with low defensive block relying on counter attacks. Then energy goes down and we do not know what to do. We need to change it somehow.

This is why we need Vidal tbh. Someone with that experience and big game mentality.

tonight is more on Conte than our players. he's very clueless and outsmarted.

Yeah, that was a complete shit show in the midfield. We couldn't do shit for the last 60-70 minutes with the ball.

Generally, Brozovic and Bastoni were our best players in my eyes (in addition to Handa saving penalty and thus the point). Gotta respect Brozo's running, constant fucking running and pressing.

What was wrong with Candreva this game? Easily one of our better players. Biraghi was the shitter on the wing, as per usual.

Yeah, gag and sensi were silenced,
Atalanta stole every ball easily
And we could not break their play..


I never saw us like this..
It reminded me of inter with former coaches, when we expected our forwards and goal keepers to di magic

I love what Conte has brought to Inter so far but he got this one all wrong. I'm not sure why he thought he we could just sit back against the best attacking club in Italy for 80 minutes and not concede. And then the subs were even more bizarre. Borja isn't bringing anything to the table and Politano hasn't played in forever. Wut?

We didnt sit back, we always lost the build up play..
Our midfield looked clueless..

Vecino must have been injured tonight? We clearly suffered in midfield. Barella getting a yellow during the week really hurt.
Tough game, not the worst result, learn and move on.

I have no problem if Atalanta has more possesion then us and also a lot of chances. It's Atalanta and they make problems against everyone, even Juve. But what i can't accept is how we played, specialy in the second half. First half we could have scored easily 1-2 goals more and then at some point we stopped playing.
This team can do much more, we need to improve on this things.

I would have hoped Conte knows better than to sub off attackers and put on useless players when ur trying to win a game especially at home.

Great Sava by Handa and good defensive performance, offenively some chances through counter attacks Brozo did great at certain times under pressure and had a chane at the end but fair play to Atalanta, one of the best teams in the wrorld rigt now.

Luataro, there is VAR now, that was a red card and an automatic suspension

Atalanta one of the best in the world? In Serie A,yes.

I know Biraghi is not a flashy player, but we was really great in the defensive phase. He covered his opponents with great attitude and he did well with Bastoni on the left side.
Generally, I think we were amazing in defensive phase til 70th minute. We lost motivation after Atalanta's goal which was lost due to retard moment of Candreva. He should kick the ball away, but he allowed Gosens to score the goal. But apart that Atalanta didn't create many chances. Mainly shots from the distance.

However, we were awful in attacking phase. The idea was to score from the counter attack, but Atalanta did well against Lukaku and there was no space for him to make his runs. Gagliardini didn't help, his passes were not accurate.

Draw seems to be a great result for us.

About Conte: he didn't have many options. Alexis and Vecino were struggling with injuries, so I think they were not ready in 100%, just emegency options. Lazaro would be destroyed by Papu Gomez, Esposito wouldn't change the way we were playing. And that's it. Apart that there were Ranocchia, Dimarco, Pirola, Agoume and Berni on the bench :alone:
Valero was a must, because Sensi was not ready for full match and I can understand the idea of giving minutes to Politano. Conte wanted us to stop playing long balls to Lukaku and change the way we are building up play by providing a man who can dribble and give some creativiy, because Sensi was subbed, but Politano failed again in this role.
