Nah, truth is probably somewhere in between, and extremes like inzaghi is shit, or he pulled us out of shit, victim of his own success etc..., are gross exaggerations.He is a victim of his own success. If we had spent the whole season stuck in third place, paradoxically, nobody would have complained, but by overperforming in November and December everyone was deluded that we could have won again easily. Personally I remember how low my expectations were before the season started and so I say he's done great work. If only we had real owners I'd be cautiously optimistic for the future.

Extremely well said.He is a victim of his own success.

We are the Roma of this year. We fucked it up against Bologna. When you mess up so late in the season, you can rarely make up for it.I would say Pioli has a worse first team, but not a worse squad. At least they had viable options on the bench that are athletic, and not out of form Vecino, Schrodingers Sensi, lumbering Gags, waste of money Correa, good but makes mistakes Sanchez and old man trying to be cool Vidal. That Vidal is the best performer from this list is comically bad.
Apart from our defensive options from the bench, most of our bench options weren't really reliable, while Milan pull through even with all the injuries. That's good planning and good work by Pioli as well. And luck, ofc. Every title winning team has a bit of luck on their side.
Well, anyway, anything could still happen, I remember quite well that we almost gave the 2010 Scudetto to Roma and they fucked it up and dropped points as well and we won.
Yep,and Bbeelan is winning like Inter last year. Leao and Theo are their Lukaku and Hakimi.1:0,1:0,2:1.....We are the Roma of this year. We fucked it up against Bologna. When you mess up so late in the season, you can rarely make up for it.
I'm not sure if I remember Dzeko every playing well. However, he has somehow deteriorated from "washed up footballer" to "belongs in a nursing home" in the span of three months.Extremely well said.
Targets set before the season was top4 and CL knockouts. I don't know if there was Coppa Italia victory or just trophy added. But he delivered all these if it wasn't Coppa but just trophy (and he can deliver that second trophy tomorrow).
The first part of the season was maybe overperformance, specially Dzeko was on fire and we played generally really well. Feb-March schedule just killed us with the heartbreaking derby loss there too. We can as well think we just returned to the mean there in this second part of the season.
Only caveat is Pioli is the one stealing the Scudetto with a lot worse squad. So he did better job. But we need to remember, if some other coach does a brilliant job, it doesn't mean Inter coach hasn't done a good job. Both things can be true at the same time.
Yes and no. Indeed we were overperforming. In the summer I was glad if we reached top 4 and got through the group stages of CL. But by performing so good and seeing the other clubs lose a lot of points you get optimistic. But if you gone so far this season and reached the stage were we where a couple of points ahead it would truly be a bummer if we lose tonight and finish second.He is a victim of his own success.

And at the same time being called cunt, loser and all kind of names by the fans here. Pathetic!First time we beat the gobbi 3 times in a row. Ever! First Inter manager to achieve it as well.
Beat them in two finals in the same season.
Ended their multi year streak of winning at least a title every season.
Beat them at the rat cave.
Grazie Mister!
