Simone Inzaghi

I think that argument was valid when we were in third at the beginning of the season. The team since gelled and went on top of the table. Now were going into what appears to be a historic level collapse.

While Suning are certainly the biggest issue at the club, Inzaghi is solely responsible for this absolute bedshitting the last two months.

This is the worst Serie A I have ever seen in my lifetime. Milan or Napoli will be the worst champions in the modern era of serie a. And thats nothing against them thats just a fact. It was a fact when we were top of the league too. Yet he is having issues competing vs mid table clubs in the heat of the title race.

Genuinely cannot even believe how awful weve been since February. I've never been this disappointed in a coach/team, and THAT is saying something given the history of our club.

Last season seria a was much more worse, Bbilan, Napoli and especially rube were hillarious. But I agree that Limone is incompetent jackass. Almost as our owners.

In the last 10 Serie A games Inter have earned less points than Mazzarri's Cagliari. This is a failure of epic proportions. There are simply no excuses for this.

I was afraid of this since that lucky coppa win against Empoli or that last minute win
against Venezia. Saying since then that we are not good, that even rube can catch us if we dont wake the fuck up. Was mocked and laughed on this forum writing this back then. Everyone was sayin Bbilan is shit, rube also bla bla bla, we are too strong for them etc etc.. And now what?? Next week we're gonna be behind one of the worse rube in last 30 years who were 15 pts behind us in December. Nightmareish stuff. Suning dismantled scudetto winning team to banter era team in one fkn mercato . I was obviously wrong in one thing and that is that this team is able to wake up, they're not cause they're simply shit. Was totally wrong about our coach also. I overrated him. He, Dzeko, Hakan, all bunch of chokers and losers. Gutted and disgusted. And fuck Cunte cause Pioli is doin same thing as Cunte last season. If Cunte is great coach then dont mock Pioli, he is doin fantastic job with that roster. It will be hard fight for 4th spot if this idiot of our coach continue doin the same thing every single week. I was hoping he'll try to change something but he is even worse then Cunte on that matter. Fuck him, he deserves to leave after this catastrophe. He can take Correa, Caicedo with him too. We should spent 35m on that meat they were barbecuin last week than on fkn Correa. Could help people od Ukraine with that food. Fucking incompetent idiots. Thank Sunning for that. They are the major reason for all of this. I pissed on Cunte all the time but he was fkn right to abandon this shit. Fucking liars, sold our best players and bought no one. Sell the club fkn frauds and fuck off.

It just unreal how the best team in Italy can fall apart in just one month.

I agree with you about 99.9% of the things you said and i not need to say anything because that what i also think, but to be fair, back then bbilan was really shit and rube was and still shit, but the simple fact is that nobody tought that we become that level of shit, i also said that we will get out of this crisis and back to good form, but the truth is that we have medicore coach and some hot garbage players that just dont give a fuck about the team or about inzaghi, but still get credit for being shit becuse inzaghi not have the balls bench who are shit or he just too blind fucker to see wtf is going around him..

But let's not ignore the big elephant in the room. The management has fucked around too much during this period and they're causing disharmony in what was a very united group of players. No idea what Marotta is playing at, but he's costing us the Scudetto with Inzaghi's aid. Hiring a coach telling him that his aim is to reach top 4 and last 16 in CL only to parade yourself in the media talking about a 2nd star after selling or losing players that have not been replaced adequately, which was not done before at all...

It is becoming obvious that some people in the management do not want him around and have done a lot of damage by telling players and their agents shit that causes unrest. And evidently, worse performances. This isn't new, it happened 3 years ago as well. On one hand you would expect the team to be able to rally and focus on the Scudetto whether their future is on the line or not, but this is far too frequent at this club and makes no sense, so I can see why it is affecting player performances.

This management not being fully behind him must be an angle we cannot completely dismiss.

It was well reported the target for the season was top4 and knockouts in CL. I don't remember the timeline which was first but Marotta started talking publicly about the Scudetto midseason. Inzaghi reminded publicly how he and the team made our targets change during the season and how at the start of the season the target was top 4 and the knockouts.

Marotta has been talking about the Scudetto since what, January I think? It's not far-fetched to think there's a plan to create narrative which tells how Inzaghi has failed, how he didn't to manage the reach the targets. And Inzaghi fighting back against that narrative.

Of course we don't know what's happening behind the scenes between the coach and the management group. But this tone-change by Marotta is indeed interesting. Specially as the management couldn't provide any real reinforcements in the January window. Gosens was like a leverage move for the club to Perisic contract talks and more like a luxury signing for the on-the-pitch stuff than anything else. Caicedo has had very little relevance to anything.

Inzaghi is clearly feeling the heat of a big club atmosphere. There's immense pressure of getting success right now when you are close to tasting it (first part of the season). Despite the original top4 target, during the season maybe even the club started to fantasize about the Scudetto. And it was not far-fetched because Juve collapse at the start. Inter collapse at Feb-March was not in anyone's plans which surely leaves a bitter taste to many mouths.

At this point I'd put all extension talks on hold. Does it even make any sense to plan long-term stuff with Inzaghi if he can't hold this thing from falling apart? Our game doesn't look good anymore, we can't get results. This feels suddenly more like Spalletti second season than anything else. Locker room lost and it shows on the pitch directly. We aren't dominating the opponents anymore (we did that for the most part against Milan in that unfortunate match and that's over a month ago).

For me this season feels a lot more like Spalletti's first season than second. In his second season we were very inconsistent from the start of the season bar one month winning run and you could see there was no progress in our game compared to our previous season. It's just things went totally downhill in second round with off field issues. On the other hand, his first season was a lot more similar to this one. A great first round that had Inter close to the top due to the good form of some players (mainly Perisic and Valero) but once we reached December the team totally collapsed and went on a 8-game winless run. We turned things around and saved the season only when Spalletti finally decided on March to make tactical adjustments by dropping Vecino, playing Brozovic in double pivot and Rafinha as AM behind Icardi.

I don't think Inzaghi has lost the dressing room but he certainly seems out of ideas and he doesn't seem willing to try anything different. He shows the same weakness he had shown at Lazio. Unable to get a team out of crisis.

Inzaghi himself said yesterday he still absolutely believes in winning the Scudetto.

I think it's just the way we fell more than anything. If you go back in time, most of us would look like hypocrites right now, me being the first to set the bar to cl place when inzaghi was announced.

But just the way this whole shit unfolded is the problem. It would have been much better for his coaching credentials if we had a slow start to a season, and then we build up to a fourth place or end up a few points off of first place, similar run that juve is having, where you can see that the team is growing alongside the coach, and it will only get better. But no, we had complete opposite, we blew up like a balloon at the start of the season then just burst.

That shit screams not good enough coach.

This is why we shouldn't do contract extensions until the season is over htw

It's weird there were even extension talk rumours.
We won a super cup by the skin of our teeth against a Juve with multiple missing players. We have 1 win out of 7 against Milan, Napoli, Juve and Atalanta at league. Inzaghi is a pretty inconsistent coach. At current rate we have the potential to finish outside top 4.
I'm against "Inzaghi out" train though, but extending his contract is such a bullshit idea.

If he'd stop starting Toro - Dzeko for once, I'd be so happy.


But then he'd fuck up by starting Correa - Sanchez.

There's no evidence he has, so far it's the contrary.

The only players with grievances are Vecino, Radu, Vidal and Sanchez. Sanchez plays well when used, Vidal is on and off, the other two are non factors and probably all of them are leaving before the start of the new season. I don't think they hold much influence in the locker room.

But if bad results keep happening we may start to see players hitting each other again

The best end to the season for him will be a Coppa Italia and Napoli taking the league. If Milan win the scudetto and the Coppa I think a large portion of the fan base will want him gone. And I can't necessarily disagree w them. I'd give him one more year simply for continuity sake, but I have zero hope with him.

For me, the most important thing is how he reacts to this in terms of transfers. If he pushes for the clear out that we need in some parts and adjusts the defense to something he'd be more comfortable with, then there's significant potential next year. I'm not massively hopeful for this outcome, though, but just saying

Based on his stint at Lazio and last summer he doesn't seem to be the guy to push hard for transfers. Sure he will make his demands but at the end of the day he will just accept whatever he's offered and work with it.

My biggest concern with Inzaghi has more to do with his coaching and mentality. His decision making during the game is questionable in the least, he's tactically inflexible and most importantly he doesn't seem to know how to get a team out of crisis once players get in poor form.

Even if we get him the players he wants next summer there's no guarantee we won't go back to this next season.

I’m never one for getting somebody out before they’ve had at least 2 years (short of De Boer level disasters), so I’m still okay to give him one more year with a summer market that doesn’t gut the team.

However, I do NOT want to see an extension unless we win the league.

Based on what if you don't mind me asking.

Given the financial contraints on the club, sacking Inzaghi makes no sense, another dead weight that Inter will have to pay. No extension should be considered. Clear out the deadwood, sign a couple of really decent players who have some pace, and minimize the impact of financial pruning by selling some of the purported stars on the club. Come February 2023, then take a hard look.
