Very unlikely. I think he just got injured again a few days ago.

Yeah, he's still on an individual training regime apart from the group as of the 20th, so it's highly doubtful.

THE LOST GOALS

Inter to look for its first goal at the San Siro.
Haven't scored a goal yet this season in the three games: will try again Sunday against Chievo.

Milan - San Siro without... goals. No leap in the dark, only abstinence, long abstinence, a very bad but obviously unintended strike of goals. Inter haven't scored one yet at home and consequently have not won even a game. It is true that home games were only three but it is equally true that among those three happened to be one against Trabzonspor, not Barcelona. In short, San Siro is no longer a fort.

Yuto, the last You can argue that many goals have been wrong, that the opponent goalkeepers saved the possible and the impossible and especially against Napoli something went very wrong in other ways but the statistic is this: zero goals at home for an abstinence of 297 minutes that is from the 3-1 goal against Catania by Nagatomo last May 22, a season ago. Question: what if instead Inter started the season with Lecce and would it be different? Because against Lecce would have been the start to this season and instead it was skipped due to strike. So maybe (again base on if), games with a victory would have been at 14 and Gasp would have a different story. Instead, in Palermo however, Inter were full of errors and conceded four goals compared to three goals scored. This start began to put some anxiety on Inter which also did not get positive results against the Turkish and Roma.

Missed opportunities In all of this, of course, scoring zero goals at home should be considered along with some opportunities that went badly: Trabzonspor goalkeeper Tolga got two great saves or Roma defender Kjaer blocked Sneijder's shot from a few meters away, or even the poor shooting displays of Pazzini and Forlan against Napoli in the chaos created by Rocchi. So again, it's been 297 minutes that Inter last scored at home. In 1976-77, Inter were without goals for six home games for a long fast of 630 minutes which was stopped by a goal by Pavone in Inter 1-1 Perugia. In 1972-73 three games without goals just like this year (402 minutes) as well as in 91-92 (332) and 74-75 (313). The moral here is that Chievo for Inter has become the game. Because Di Carlo's system is very good tactically and especially against the big clubs. Ranieri and Javier Zanetti are ready: "We hope to give Ranieri a great gift on Sunday against Chievo with a win. We want to reverse the course at the San Siro." Exactly.

Zanetti-Cambiasso-Stankovic :yuno:
Let's make it better by putting Motta alongside as well :wallbang:

 

[Choppin Onions]

We're not going far with a Zanetti-Cambiasso-Motta/Deki midfield. That's all I'm gonna say.

 

[rockball]

Alvarez (CM)
Sneijder (AM)
Zarate (SS)
Pazzo (Goal)
Thats enough of flair which we need.

 

[German_Interista]

Well against a team like Chievo it could be enough, but only in the case in which Sneijderman, Zarate have a real good day and our defence will be stable for fuckin sake..

Still optimistic thoughokerface:

 

[dynasty27]

Me unlikes Moscardelli.

 

[Suneet]

Alvarez (CM)
Sneijder (AM)
Zarate (SS)
Pazzo (Goal)
Thats enough of flair which we need.

We'll surely create enough chances with them for .

 

[vassago]

do or die game for us...
it's fucking Chievo for fuck sake and they make me nervous as hell

 

[I4E]

So we're basically starting the same team as the Lille match. I hope that this is not going to become a trend. What happened to the days of depth where we could start just about anyone and still achieve results.

 

[The Wall]

Wow, our midfield options really are atrocious. I hope that Poli is good enough to jump right into first 11 once he is healthy.

If you don't count him we basically have one starting caliber player atm in our club(Cambiasso)+Obi. The rest is too old/broken from injuries/just shit like Alvarez.

 

[Batman]

Gazzetta have been liking Stankovic and have always put him in the starting line up.. I'm 100% sure Stankovic will not start this match. Either Motta or Obi.

 

[Besnik]

I dont think Deki should start in any match in future.. but on another note he's pretty good option to have in the bench when you need some fresh energy.

 

[Tanel]

Alvarez (CM)
Sneijder (AM)
Zarate (SS)
Pazzo (Goal)
Thats enough of flair which we need.

Flair is one thing. But these players in this setup do not provide width which is one of our main problems in attack.

 

[InterFCAustin]

Gazzetta have been liking Stankovic and have always put him in the starting line up.. I'm 100% sure Stankovic will not start this match. Either Motta or Obi.

It looks like my prediction to start the same line up that we used against Lille is coming true And i think is the right decision.

 

[A.l.i]

Must win. How amazing would it be that Ranieri starts with Obi on the left and Jonathan on the right in a flat 4 midfield ???

 

[NeonBlade]

Zanetti - :thumbsup: Cambiasso :thumbsup: Dejan???!!:nono:

GDS has sometimes got it wrong and hopefully they are wrong on this one...

 

[newbie]

[InterFCAustin]

Zanetti - :thumbsup: Cambiasso :thumbsup: Dejan???!!:nono:

GDS has sometimes got it wrong and hopefully they are wrong on this one...
