First he has to clean up Mancini's mess, then impress. That's two jobs he has in hand.

Sorry, CL or bust. It was so for Mancio, and it will be so for FDB. I'm sick and tired of the quality players we have not delivering because of the ineptitude of the manager. If our play is promising/good and we finish in EL due to unluckiness, then maybe he should be given an additional season, but the way that we've been playing makes me doubtful that it would even come to that.

We really should've gone for Laurent Blanc, wtf were the management thinking.

That being said, I still have faith in Frank, I'll withhold my judgment until at least December.

1. Blanc signed.
2. Players too shitty to deliver.
3. Blame Blanc.
4. Fire Blanc in two months.
5. Extend contracts of those shitty players.
6. Buy more new shitty players.
7. Sign new coach.
8. Go back to step 1 and repeat the cycle.

well to be honest, what we need is decisive leadership. A new coach needs to get rid of Palacio, Ranocchia, Nagatomo, etc, at ALL costs. I'd rather be playing youth than them. Melo probably too.

We probably have the individual quality, but our depth is awful and we need to sort out our tactics.

Exactly I believe every new coach needs new players that fit within he's own criterium... Boer made error of judgement keeping the rejects mancio had it's so freakin evident

Thank you for pointing at the real problem.

Now booting out Mancini was a good first step. He was part of the problem, but not THE problem. Now it's time for the other massive problem which is the big pile of putrid made of one shitty player piled after another. De Boer must identify and solve this problem which Mancini not only kept ignoring, but also adding more shitty players on the top of that pile.

De Boer had very little time for transfers or even identifying the bad players, let alone deciding new suitable ones. Let's be fair here. We'll see next transfers window.

Had we appointed him like a month earlier, maybe he couldve done just that?

Despite yesterdays game i still have faith in Frank. In serie A we kept improving from game to game even though with baby steps but still improving.

Yesterdays defeat was a debacle yes but lets not panic. First of all resting players was the right choice since the game against Rube is in 2 days so there barely is time to recoup energy. Also due to ffp de bore had no choice but to field this team if he wanted to rest key players such as Banega, Candreva, Icardi and Miranda. I mean if you wanna rest Banega there is no other midfield he could have put out there, same goes for the attack if he wanted to rest Icardi and candreva who else could he have fielded other then the guys who played?

The most shocking thing to me was that it seemed like the players don t give a fuck. I mean it was the players chance to proove something to the coach and yet there was not effort.

Handa & that back four apart from Ranocchia are our first team btw, as is Medel who played the full match & Banega who played the second 45. Yet we lost to Euro minnows & should have lost by more, lets not fool ourselves that this was some B team, at the end we were almost at full strength. You can spin it any way you like but this was a shocking, worrying performance. There are mitigating factors, in that we're still clearly not fully fit & match sharp, but that doesn't explain the psychological meltdown after the first goal, which is a real cause for concern. I fear Juve are going to rip us apart this Sunday. Why? because morale is low & we're deeply insecure. Oh & those fuckers our fit too.

Our "A" team, if we even have one, isn't playing in an organised fashion yet and it's to be expected that the B team is even a bigger mess, both tactically and even physically.

Those guys haven't even played a competitive game as a unit and that's the reason we lost this game. Simple. And I highly doubt that if we even started with our strongest line-up this game would have been a walk in the park.

The fact is those small teams have in organisation and grit what they are lacking in talent and resources. There are no easy games anymore, versus professional teams.

And what bothers me most out of this game is that we absolutely should've tried to win it, cause it won't get any easier from now on, both for rotation and getting out of the group. I'd make a triple sub immediately, ala Pescara, after we conceded, it was obvious we aren't threatening to score, let alone make a comeback with the fielded players.

Bye frank.

Bull fucking shit. No one in the world getd a couple of seasons. Inter is the only club where we demand patience with a new manaher. Everyone else has a fucking honey moon period. Frank has until november to impress then fuck off if not.

firstly, what other clubs give their coaches doesnt prove it makes sense or not to give that to our coach. secondly, there are many clubs that give more than 3 months to the manager (no less without a preseason!!). thirdly, there are many fans of many different clubs that i've seen demand patience with new managers (nor is it relevant to whether or not they need more or less time).

frank not showing results 3 months into a job at a club physically unprepared, mentally unprepared, and with an unprepared squad, with no preseason, is not a gauge of whether or not he is good enough to build a team that can at least regularly qualify for CL. pochettino at tottenham wasnt showing good results 3 months into the job, with a preseason. a couple of seasons is too much but one season should be the minimum bar anything apocalyptic.

nah bruh you can't say our squad sucks, individually the quality is there. the manager and the tactics he employs are the problem
ffs just look at juventus before Conte took over, always finishing 7th. After Conte came in with his ideas they've began to steamroll Serie A.
ya our squad is worse than that of Juve but it's still enough to warrant a top-3 finish.

Sure, but this isn't Tottenham, the pressure at Inter is quite more complex than in many teams around the globe, after Palermo game I remember the squad got booed when they were leaving the field and it was only their first home game, you can't expect that to change any time soon, specially after having Moratti replace coaches like he would change socks

the fact the pressure at inter is higher somehow means that 3 months is enough time to judge the manager? i don't get your argument. or are you saying that fans at inter have higher expectations than fans at tottenham? in that case i dont see how thats relevant to whether or not 3 months ie enough time to judge the manager.

We don't. People judge our individual quality by comparing us with shitty bottom feeders that beat us by parking the bus with 10 men and countering.

That's not how we play in Serie A. If we did, then yeah we'd have the individual quality. We have to play pro-actively in Serie A. Which means we need players capable of breaking down smaller teams. We don't have those players.

Ausilio: ‘De Boer sack talk nonsense’
By Football Italia staff

Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio has branded reports that Coach Frank De Boer could be sacked as ‘nonsense.’

The Dutchman has only presided over four matches as Nerazzurri boss since succeeding Roberto Mancini in August, winning one and losing two.

However, Thursday night’s shock 2-0 defeat at home to Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva in the Europa League prompted rumours that the 46-year-old was already on the brink of the axe.

Italian outlet Calciomercato.com claimed on Friday that should the San Siro club lose Sunday’s Serie A encounter with old rivals Juventus, De Boer could be fired in favour of Fabio Capello.

However, speaking at a Press conference to formally announce the arrival of new midfielder Joao Mario, Ausilio took issue with the speculation surrounding the Coach.

“De Boer under discussion? I should respond with strong words, but there are some gentlemen in the conference room and it wouldn’t be nice!” he said.

“I can say that it is nonsense. We need to talk less and work a lot because we are behind. De Boer arrived a short while ago and he has not had much time to work with the whole squad.

“It is not easy to build something important without having a lot of time available. It needs patience.”

Maybe, just maybe, we have to admit Mancini wasn't the problem.

Its not that I want DeBoer sacked, its that I want fans to hold him to the same (ridiculous) standard they held Mancio to.

A lot of the problem comes down to Medel, D'Ambrosio, Nagatomo, Ranocchia. Or just lack of depth in CM and FB, generally speaking. Medel should not be allowed over the half way line. He should not be used as a pivot/playmaker either! You can see why he played CB for Chile...

Difference is mancini was the highest paid manager in the league and he brough most of this squad in. So they cant2 be comparable yet at all. Though we still need the same target, CL.

Our main problem is our players do not know how to do simple passing between one and another.

FB has been our main issue and therefore we brought Telles and Montoya last season but Mancini kept playing Nagatomo and D'Ambrosio. He returned both and then we brought in Erkin and Ansaldi. One has been told to fuck off and another one is out injured.

Mancini had one and half years to fix this and he couldn't.

If there is any problems with FDB so far is the language barrier. I am not sure how many of them can speak English or maybe Spanish.
