In the match against Sampdoria, the commentators stated that we had dropped 13 points up to that game. In light of the result against Sassuolo, we can now make it 15 points. That is shit load of points and highlights a real problem with mentality. As much as it hurts me to say this, yesterday, I had an unexpected respect towards Juventus because in most circumstances, regardless of how poorly they play, they usually always get a result. Inter have a totally different mentality and I personally think the club needs to make psychiatry, counselling, or mental health review appointments for the playing group because our players are struggling under the burden of past matches where we have inexplicably dropped points.
In relation to Conte, I thought about his heavy rotation and wondered what was behind it. Was it down to the fact that the likes of Brozovic and Martinez are carrying injuries and the anticipation of another game in three or so days time? Or was there another aspect to it? I thought it was unusual and could not help but wonder if it was also done to highlight the lack of depth ijn our playing group and the need for solid reinforcements.
To be honest, I realise that I am very much grasping at straws, speculating and honestly trying to work out the reason(s) behind our poor performance and how me managed to drop a further two points when the we had the result in hand in the 89th minute.
