Darmian, the guy who decided like 3-4 games in the scudetto year, is now back to do it again.. tradition!
Also that 1-0 win against Atalanta with Conte was the beggining of our Scudetto run. Everything repeats...

"Wasteful finishing" is one of those universal complaints that every single teams' fans complain about. Many times, it's us overrating just how high some scoring chances were (thinking they were easier than they actually are) while also underrating some of the goals scored from low percentage chances.

Coming into this game, our xG in Serie A was 58.58. Our total goals scored was 63. You can't really be accused of "wasteful finishing" when you're overperforming your xG (although obviously those numbers are in the same ballpark). Even last year, for the complaints that existed...xG was 71.97 for the season, we scored 71 goals, it was about as close as you can reasonably get.

Now, for the CL it is a bit different...our xG there is 14.6 goals, and we've scored 9. Specifically, 2.3 xG against Atleti vs. 1 actual goal we scored in the first leg. I'm blending sources here a bit (the website I use for league stats doesn't seem to have xG CL stats readily available), but if we're about +4.5 in league and -5.6 in CL play...again, it comes out pretty much as close as you can get. What ends up "hurting" is when you overperform the xG in games like @Salernitana (2.3 xG to 4 goals scored) that were easy wins regardless and then underachieve them in the UCL knockouts, but it is what it is.

Yeah I'm mostly talking about the big games.

Will do everything in my power to go to a game before the end of the season. This is historical.

I want to watch Inzaghi's Inter again literally right now.
Everyone should do it. This is once in a lifetime. I organized my second trip to Milano this year for Easter Monday game vs Empoli. Gotta salute the champions.

Only thing that's stopping us from being a truly elite European side is the wasteful finishing. But we create as many chances as any other team, and defend well. This scudetto is 100% deserved. Serie A is not any weaker now than it's been in the last 15 years.

Does anyone have an idea why Inzaghi won't give Tajon a chance, even when we are up by a lot? I don't get it. He seems like an amazing player, with pace which is exactly what we need.
Inzaghi has only played him when both Augusto and Dimarco have played significant minutes already and he was resting Bastoni. Bastoni didn’t need a rest today and will miss the next match so the only wingback changes were Augusto and Dumfries, which is the pecking order.

Inzaghi doesn’t give playing time away he is rigid in his hierarchy.

In Greek we call "anomalous" those who take it from behind.

I agree Gasp :)

His interview clearly shows he doesn’t want to discourage his guys, because they gave their all, but he basically said there was nothing to get tonight, let’s keep our focus in the future.

Talking sweet about how the game was tighter than the result is part of the game. I’m pretty sure Gasp saw that there was no doubt about the winner yesterday.

Every time that man speaks, I sense bitterness and arrogance. I think he is still pissed he didn't make it on the highest level, especially when he was one of the first coaches to use the three man defence that is now ultra popular. Good coach but an utter cunt as well.

He just keeps on impressing, incredible how undervalued he has been through his career, his such a vital player for Inzaghi, so reliable regardless where he plays

A good play from Asllani, he has gained confidence and is enjoying the game.

That's because he is the most inactive Inter player of the seaso . Much free time and he has to make up for being a gobbi cunt for a long time. So that's the sort of activity he follows in his free time.
