Don't have one.
When was the last time we lost vs Juventus, Milan, Roma and Lazio in the first half of season? Can't remember we ever did before him.
That's fuckin beyond pathetic. I mean, fair enough his brand of football works fairly well against smaller teams, where we have the upper hand in technical ability and superiority, but once you take into consideration games against our direct rivals with similar levels than you just facepalm yourself into infinity.

Everything has pointed to Barca matches being an anomaly. Maybe it's because Barca's defence is fucking garbage.

Every other "big" team we get destroyed.

They were missing their best cbs. Araujo and Kounde were injured in first and Christensen got injured during the first match. That's why they were forced to play Pique who's finished.

Of course we had absentees too (Brozovic, Lukaku) but we were able to cover them a lot better than them (mostly thanks to Hakan).

Wait for Atalanta and Napoli 😁

This match remind me of the Milan's game past season. Total domination in the first half, and conceding two easy goals in the second.

You will find many big games (and even some smallers e.g. Bologna) where that happened. Start the match well, dominate the first half, score a goal if our attackers don't have a shitty day and then capitulation in second half.

We also rarely turn things around when we concede first. Barcelona match being the exception to the norm.

Team is mentally fragile.

i would blame inzaghi on these

1-lautaro havent improved, his finishing is weak and the coach shouldve pushed him into excessive and extensive training

2-denzel control and creativity is like a pendulum,coach shouldve known that this
player needs more attention

3-dzeko passes increases strokes,this guy is old, he shouldn't leave the attacking zone
and lautro should go back to the middle.

overall, 3 subs at once fuks with the
team coherence and it happened more than once.

Some of you guys are acting like we have so much quality in the squad - if I was in Inzaghi's shoes, I'd eat my nails every game and hope for the best every game. I don't even like some of the Inter players that started yesterday, that's how yikes our team is.

Is Inzaghi a perfect coach? No. Does he have strange decisions mid-game? Yes. But with all the injuries, money woes and strange forms of our players (Dimarco is unpredictable, Džeko sometimes can't even stop a ball at his feet, Dumfries is in no man's land,...)

He might be mishandling Bastoni and Gosens, but c'mon man. We are VERY close to the top4 spot, so we are doing what we were supposed to. Let's keep grinding and see what happens after the WC. For now, the results are okay enough even if how we play isn't. The only thing I'm really worried about is that the players that are carrying us get injured or just too fatigued to play on the right level.
wera's POV still stands. the team really lack quality. the club should add and improve more quality in winter transfer before it's too late.

It's not all so black and white.

To Inzaghi's credit, he did set the game up well and we did dominate in the first half. Our players missing excellent chances isn't on him, his job is to give them those chances.
On the other hand, Inzaghi is quite possibly the worst Inter manager I've ever seen when it comes to crisis management, solving problems in real time and even substitutions. Who the fuck uses 3 subs at once? Who takes out Skriniar after he got a bullshit yellow and was perfectly calm and in control?

And for fucks sake, next time Bastoni is unavailable, just go back to back 4 for that match.

Inter are one of only 2 sides in the league who have no points once they go behind in a game. That is absolutely atrocious and that mental issue is on inzaghi.

The drops in form are very worrying. I still believe it's PRIMARY Marotta's, Zhang's and co. fault that the team isn't mentally all there. Then add Inzaghi who has weird midgame subs and isn't sadly isn't giving Asllani and Gosens more minutes even tho they are perfectly healthy. Just the fact that the money we spent on Correa was about 20million too much :lol: it's been coming. I wasn't a fan of Sanchez and his instagram antics or his after-NT injuries, but we all know he is better than Correa

The team is already mentally drained and with all the injuries, they will soon be physically drained as well. Reaching a top4 spot will be a huge success.

Ultimate mega giga chill. We are 3 points from top4.

Title hopes are practically dead but top4 is an open race and we still have so much quality.

What will be the spark that will make us be better? Also, quality doesn't mean anything if our quality players are burned out.

I was reading a comment by Di Canio that Inzaghi should have instructed Barella to foul Kostic, and i 100% agree, cynical football wins. But why are we absolving the players from their basic duties? At what point is up to the players to react and deliver accordingly on the pitch?

As long as I've been a supporter of Inter, most managers have relied on one of their star players to come through in some respect, especially in the big games. Inzaghi is no different. He is a poor communicator and his demeanor is soft. He can set up the team correctly but it's up to the players to execute. In my view, changing Inzaghi will not amount to much, if Simone and Klopps recent challenges are anything to go by. We cannot rely solely on the coach to get the players in the right mindset, constantly, game in game out. At some point the players need to take responsibility and show character.

Conte said he can't go to war with Sensi and Barella because they haven't won anything. Well Barella has won 3 trophies now. He should have an improved mentality, enough to carry us and urge us on in difficult moments when the coach is out of his depth.

Not saying the players don't share some responsibility. But the buck always stops with the manager.

The issue is given Inters finances there isn't a clear improvement on inzaghi.

Great post, the players are paid well by the club to train, keep themselves fit and perform up to the task/demands of the coach.

If regular folks don't have the skills for a certain job they are not hired. But these players are paid millions yet they should only stagnate in their skills, fitness, mentality, tactical adaptability etc. with years and years and it should be accepted?

I was hoping for de zerbi a few weeks ago but he might not be the one. Let's see how italiano continues this year.

We play well and dominate the game without converting all the chances only to concede and eventually lose. This becomes our recurring theme with Inzaghi. Usually the coach is blameless when the players cannot execute football basics like Dumfries, Dzeko, and Lautaro all missing sitters. The problem lies if it keeps perpetuating and questions must be raised if the coach could improve the finishing aspects. Dzeko has been a prolific forward in his career and suddenly he forgets how to score? Lautaro has been weak on finishing for several seasons, does Inzaghi try to improve it? We will end up at nothing if we don't handle this scoring woe immediately.
