Empoli - Inter (17 Jan 15) [0-0]

[JJM]

Palacio and Hernanes were a disgrace tbh! Far from professional players today tbh.

Slow...so fucking slow!

We've created absolute zero...they dominated the midfield the entire game.That's on Mancini though...Medel-Guarin mf and Hernanes as a winger and Palacio as a free roaming forward...

If I see Medel-Guarin again I gonna flip! No one of those two can dictate the tempo ffs! once we had Cuchu-Motta and we could play 4-2-3-1...now?! no fucking way!

buy another DM/regista who can dictate the play and put him besides Medel and then play 4-2-3-1 or else shift back to 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-3

so when fiorentina, genoa, lazio, napoli, sampdoria, and milan win tomorrow, we'll be back in depression and bitchin mode blivious:

- - - Updated - - -

we have decent squad to beat empoli. it's macini's failure today

 

[Armes]

Nothing positive from this match, aside for that measly point.

 

[Mariella]

Yes, our attack was poor. But one of the reasons they played so poorly was because Empoli played so well.

Rugani & Tonelli are an impressive CB combo. And as much as it pains me to say it, Juventus have an excellent long-term replacement for Barzagli in Rugani, should they choose to redeem the other half of his contract (and they'd be stupid not to).

Mancini's post-match interview via fcinter1908.it (google translated)

- Compared to the match against Genoa, where he was the step back?
The analysis is right, we just created. We were too low, trope scary at first, We played tropoo little from behind. Hardships we had to play the ball, that's the problem we had.

- It 's also a matter of personality this step back?
I think a team needs time to grow. If he wins a game does not change anything: it is important to cling to gruoo. We knew it would be difficult with Empoli, we have done too little to win. Here you are.

- Hernanes, you chose it in that position. What can it do more?
All we have to do more. All of them. Not just a player. The action must be built from the back. We can not be afraid to take the ball, take risks. We are Inter and we can not catch the ball if they are to pressarci others. This can not be our game.

- Unthinkable that your team do some action in more intelligently, smarcandosi and putting the ball in front of goal. There you failed, disappointed for that?
I do not think we can do all things perfect. Do good things and less good things. We could do more too poetiamo ball with the forwards, they have to go more on the bottom, take the ball with courage. We can do good things and less good things.

- So many mistakes, conceptual and technical ...
But we have to improve in this. When I say that we need to have more courage technically setting the action from behind. If the action starts bad we difficulties, especially when our opponent press. The personality you have at home you have to have it outside, as happened in the second half at the Juventus Stadium.

- Concerned about the physical condition of your team?
Let's say that in the history, every time you come here you are suffering because the Empoli runs and plays well. We do not have all the players in condition, we make more effort.

- Do not change the feelings on the third?
The important thing is to find continuity of results. If you do victories following points decrease. Too little we did to win this race.

Everytime we play against these so called small teams, they practically die on the pitch against us, like the armageddon is coming.

Shit. That's what we're in this match, I am highly disappointed with the performance,even under mazzari I've never seen this type of performance. We don't even deserve a single point. Mancini was shittiest of all, why play podolski and hernanes as wingers, How many times have I told you people that podolski isn't a winger, his workrate is too low to be a winger and he was entirely non-existent in this match likewise hernanes who is too slow to play as a winger. Why play palacio as a trequartista, this the most ridiculous of all. Why not start kovacic and shaqiri. Honestly to me mancini is the flop of this match and I put the blame on him.
I applaud empoli for playing a great possessional football and a decent marking which disabled us from holding the ball for the whole ninety minutes. If I were the coach, I know how to dealt with that type of football they play properly. Just reduce our pressing into one-one marking instead of 2 or above against one player and then they won't have the chance to tap us elegantly and gorgeously like that. Also a true trequartista was needed in that match who will drop deep to start collect a dead ball from the dmfs and then unleash a counter-attack. Just as simple as that.

 

[sanka]

When you don't go first to the ball, you play with zero motivation for win, you make awful decisions in front of the box, you are two times slower than Empoli and you make your CB's clowning with longshots then fuck 3rd place and CL.

[achilles]

I missed the game. Seems the lads did not give a fuck. WTF?

We NEED 12 wins out of the next 19 games. Today should have been 1 fewer, 11 wins to go. The only upside is that this was away, but against certain opposition you need to win home AND away. Empoli being one of those opponents!

How come Shaqiri and Kova didn't feature?

Mancini tried to Jedi mind trick Empoli. Went well.

 

[.h.]

On the plus side our defenseman was really good

 

[surripere]

I've never liked 4-2-3-1 & I wish we would play 4-3-3/4-3-1-2, which we are better suited to play anyway. We were more in the game after switching to 4-3-1-2 around the 60m mark. Up until then we were being overrun in midfield because Guarin & Medel were outnumbered & sitting to deep & narrow which they do in a 4-2-3-1, plus Hernanes & Podolski are no fucking wingers. Please don't persist with this formation Mancini, we've seen this shit all before with Benitez.

 

[Ronaldo]

I think some of you guys are exaggerating a bit. Yes it was a shit match but you can't expect us to suddenly win every match!

Empoli tied against Napoli and Fiorentina AWAY! Tied with Milan and beat Lazio at home.

Now we tied with them which is bad as we needed to win this but is not as bad as some of you make it to be.

 

[dejavu]

I do not understand why Mancini would play Hernanes on the wing. Doesnt make an iota of sense. It is also very clear that Osvaldo needs to stay. Either that or Mancini has some mercato surprises for us.

 

[Pimpin]

also why take Icardi off? And play Palacio whose ankle is about too fall off 90 minutes.

 

[Ronin]

I think from now on we need to say that players have ankle injuries when they are playing shit.

 

[iThrowRocksAtBlindKids]

also why take Icardi off? And play Palacio whose ankle is about too fall off 90 minutes.

Again, Mancini Jedi mind trick.

Mercato surprise = getting someone else for the midfield + another striker that can replace Osvaldo. I don't see it happening.
