14th

 

[Ed.]

They don't even sell Inter Milan shirts at my sports shop now, yet I see AC Milan and Juventus.

Maybe you need to get out of the adidas store and find nike.

Funny how there is Barcelona, Arsenal and even PSG there.

De Boer made a mistake with that lineup but only an idiot would question Gasperini's tactics today (the high pressure and placing Gomez as a thorn between Nagatomo, Medel and Miranda) along with his track record against us at home where he hasn't lost since 2011. The same idiot would also disregard how Atalanta always treated this game as a derby more than Inter so their passion and phenomenal pressure was expected.

There were always 3 teams that I hated playing against in Serie A and they're: Juve, Atalanta, and Lazio who we'll be playing at Christmas this season as well.

Fiorentina is there but I always liked their theme song and colors so sue me.

Good reaction in the second half, Santon was fine before that stupid tackle, Nagatomo was skinned in the first half, Joao Mario was poor, Eder was manly redeemed by the goal, today's midfield setup doesn't work, Perisic and Brozovic exposed us in the first half with a lot of miss passes and lost balls between them.

It's good to see De Boer ease his stubbornness with Kondogbia who I hope appreciates that trust more in the future.

Sadly, it's not looking good for Frank with the media pressure, the inevitable comparisons with Montella (even though he's been coaching in Serie A for 6 years... also I want those years back), browha's "I told you so" posts, and what Keisuke Honda earlier described as the only relevant outcome in Italy and that's results so expect more reports about late night "summits" and "evaluations" in the upcoming days and weeks.

Oh and yes, I broke my FIF fasting.... see you in December.

^ This season I'm afraid of every single possible team we'll play against, including Crotone and an Israeli team.

We should give de Boer more time, he's still in preseason.

[Efrain21C]

I'm sorry, but that's the truth, the only player he doesn't change is Icardi, which surprises me because he's the one contributing the less to the team

I bet Mancini is having a blast seeing our results lol

There was a moment in the 1st half where Santon took our 1st shot on goal.Initially he was looking to cross but Icardi was too static with a defender on him and a cross would have been pointless.Icardi made a slight movement to receive a ground pass but he was still marked and so Santon simply took a shot.It was the reaction after that shot that spoke volumes about our team spirit.Santon simply heaved his shoulders and gestured that Icardi wasn't creating space and so he had no option but to shoot.He was frustrated with Icardi.

Our players are exceptionally talented but they are not on the same wavelength.I remember when we had Cambiasso and if we would concede a goal he was instantly bucking up his teammates clapping his hands and talking to them in the middle.Same with Zanetti and basically we had a whole lot of leaders on the pitch in that generation - Stankovic,Lucio,Samuel,Eto'o etc.Icardi is simply not a leader on the pitch nor outside it and i suspect he has very little rapport with players on the training ground as well.

Our bodylanguage is disjointed.Our heads fall down way too quickly.Our players are not fighting for the shirt at all.

I wanted FDB to win this and stay on but since the Roma game we have been absolutely dreadful.I can understand him being sacked at the moment.Clearly we have regressed since the Juve win.Our performances have been very poor and a club that wants to play UCL cannot be sitting 14th in the league table.The Torino game has to be his last.Unless we win and we win convincingly we are going nowhere with FDB.A change of coach can still get us the Ucl.But for that we will have to move quickly.The gap cannot be overcome if we wait till mid November.

Guidolin is a good option.I can understand an AVB or Pellegrini coming here.Leonardo must absolutely not be brought in.Not too fond of Piolo either.

We need to have spirit.I have no idea where it went post the Juve game.But the attitude really stinks.And it is clear FDB hasn't been able to fix this in over a month.At a top club you cannot ask for more time.He has been given enough time.Perhaps a few people here live in some la la land and believe we must give a coach atleast 1 full season but that cannot happen at the top clubs at all.If we were simply being unlucky i could understand but right now we are just abysmal everywhere on the pitch.

 

[ElDuccio]

There is no positive thing, i can say it 100 times but the De Boer Fan club is really big here

Hes mentality is not welcome here, he better leaves and goes back to his Serie C league where every game ends like 6-4, 4-4- 3-4.. We have MASSIVE problems in defending. Only good thing is that he was a Defender so i though it would change something. No, it changes nothing. We will never get CL with him. He might be a good coach (maybe!) but for Serie A he is just ridicolous, thats what i saw.

Also already said in the De Boer thread, he treat players like shit! Erkin, Kondogbia Brozo and now the next one is Banega. Also Nagatomo is back instead of Ansaldi , Perisic played on the right where he never played good and never will, Gabigol played only 10 minutes.. he will never adapt in Serie A if he dont gets some minutes. Miangue also got ignored in this last 4 games. Fuck this all.

 

[Sassuolu]

Thank God Mancini left he was totally the problem.

 

[Demenza Senile]

Just because we have been poor this season does not in any way absolve Mancini for the disaster that was witnessed from late December onwards last season.

Revisionism is hardly the right attitude right now.

 

[M.Adnan]

Thank God Mancini left he was totally the problem.

He's a big part of what we see right now. We could easily have a cool additional option like Kovacic instead of Melo right now if it wasn't for his shit philosophy.

If you can't see Mancini's fingerprints in signing/keeping toothless players like Eder and Medel then I don't know what to tell you.

 

[Sassuolu]

Medel was here before Mancini and started every league game under FdB.

Yes Kovacic could save us, God you're a genius.

My point is no manager can save us there are problems going beyond this, but yes Mancini was our only problem.

 

[ElDuccio]

So what? What would change a Kovacic? He would resolve nothing. The players are not the main problem..

Don't remember us losing 3 in a row.

I'm lamenting the fact that we changed managers 10 days before the season and the fact that most of the scholars here said that since Mancini's gone the team's now going to be better all of a sudden.

I believed things had genuinely improved till the Roma game.There were still problems but it seemed to me we had made clear strides and that bode well for us.And i felt that under De Boer we were clearly playing better footie than under Mancio.But since the Roma game we have simply been horrendous.And considering our current league position i do not mind seeing De Boer sacked.

Mancini was given enough time and failed to reach his objectives.He was also deceiving the club by not having our players ready for the season with 2 weeks to go.

I think we lost 3 games on the run at the end of the 2013 season.

seems like every players starting to hate on Icardi...first because his movement, secondly because they realized he's a retarded captain.

 

[Bergpavian]

Spoiled and overpaid millionaires not focused on their jobs.

At least they stopped posting pictures of fat cars, big dinners and luxurious holidays after defeats. Maybe there has been some "legal Prohibition" from the club.

 

[Provenzano]

Guys, are you really vote for man of the match after shit game like this?
