You could not depend on the 'magic' all the time
remember: player can get injured, and old, what inter need is a solid defence system, not individuals

4-2-3-1 with Pandev was going to win this game for us, because we lost the game on our left wing, just where Pandev did his job last year...now u see what was Mou's point of forcing him...

I just dont know how you can all argue or whatever after this devastating and repressing result

We've been through deeper shit than this, and we can make it, either CL or Scudetto.

Just a question.
When you say we've been in deeper shit than this you mean that in the past we didn't even reach quarter finals and were struggling for a european spot in the league, right?

Cause we've never ever been trashed this badly and then overcame the result next leg.

Luka most of your writing nowadays is about you trying to prove how you've been right about how Inter needed more signings in the summer.

I don't need to prove that man, come on. By now we all know we needed signings, I mean come on...

And trust me... there is hardly anybody here, who is more pissed than me about how things went lately. And I wouldn't lie that the fact that my fears are "materialising" doesn't get to me, and pains my black and blue heart.

Trust me, if you will tell me: "You will be wrong all your life about Inter, but Inter will win Trebble every year" I would take this deal in a heartbeat. I don't want to be right, I want Inter to be a team that is run logicaly, with sense, and that will give us all some satisfaction here and then.

I don't even know how to react. Weird feeling..

Cesar
Maicon-Lucio-Ranocchia-Nagatomo
Zanetti
Sneijder-Coutinho
Pandev-Milito-Eto'o

And hope for the best.

OMG another sad F****** night...I ask myself what it is SO4 WTF Remain just words "Inter <3 Forever"

This is what I want, + put Pazzo in for league matches

First things first, if someone said to me, win champions league 09/10 and get knocked out at the quarter finals the following year - i'd have bit your hand off and took it 100%.

secondly, what an embarrasing week for inter, and it makes me wonder how tactically inept Leonardo really is. Apart from stumbling by Bayern, Inter haven't really won a 'big' match! Everyone goes on about how bad Rafa was, but i'll tell you 1 thing, he'd most certainly never have got beat 5-2 at home to Schalke.

ok, rafa is better, but lose 0:3 away to Bremen is enough, right?

No more Benitez, no more Dunga. I want Capello or Mou again. I have a strong feeling Mou is going to leave Real this year.

I think if/when Mou leaves Real he will go back to the EPL, at least those are his wishes.

No point even arguing, we were going to lose anyway. I don't know what to say, we've gone from saving Italy to becoming the laughing stock of it.

For whatever reason our team's defensive unit completely lacks fitness at the moment. It is tough for me to tell because I am not at the training ground, but our midfield and CB pairings are all completely lethargic, hesitant, and slow out of the blocks. It could be old age, or it could be the effects of a long season, or a deadly combination of the two.

Nagatomo wasn't trusted at the back, but I don't see why not. We needed his pace as an insurance policy. Get all the boys practicing together, and I don't see why Nagatomo couldn't have done better at LB than Zanetti did tonight. He wouldn't have played Schalke onside for the 3rd goal, that is for sure. Zanetti was worried about his (and his defensive partners) lack of pace, so he was cheating with his positioning. We got punished.

Stankovic not being at 100% must surely be a big part of the reason he screwed up on the first goal. He should have backed up much more, picked up the flight of the ball earlier, and got in front of the defender. Instead, he ended up laying the rebound on a platter for Schalke. If he had not stuck his foot out a Schalke player would have knocked it down, and an Inter defender would have cleared 9 times out of 10, IMO. Or if he had got a better touch on it, of course.

Much of what went wrong was related to deficiencies in fitness and lack of pace, due in large part to old age.

Time to bring in the youngsters! We will need a fullback (Nagatomo and Santon are both good enough, just get another RB, in that case), a CB, and a midfielder who can play all roles. Basically, a young Stankovic or Cambiasso, but a bit more offensive-minded would be perfect.

Cavani to replace Milito would be great for the future, as well.

If there would ever be a moment in my life in which I would be cool to put a fucking bullet in my own head, it would be tonight.

well, look at the good side...

what the fuck just happened.......?

Moratti will have to spend atleast $60m just on defence?
