Inter - Empoli (26 May 19) [2-1]

[firmino]

Isn't the entire matchday at the same time this year again?

It is, but it wouldn't be the first time that the kick off time of some matches in the last match day gets changed upon sky's request.

I'm not saying it's going to happen but since it has already happened, it can't be ruled out.

I am pretty sure they will not change the kickoff times for the last round of the season.

The worrying part about our last game against Empoli is that we have not done well at the Meazza against small teams that park the bus. Empoli playing for their survival in Serie A will help Inter but from the way the team are playing, I have little confidence that we can pull this off. Inevitably, as the match goes on, we will start to buckle under the pressure.

The truth be told, I expect Spalletti to play like a coward, our team to under perform and for us to play in the Europa League. Personally, that is where we belong. We have no business playing in the Champions League.

Lastly, I am really looking forward to this season being over. Maybe next season things will be better. But I am by no means counting on it.

we are like a marathon runner who has hit the wall with 10 km left.

honestly, i would sack spalletti just for the sake of giving the team a shock. he doesn't seem to know what to do anyway, nor does he seem to care.

the primavera coach will do.

Sack that mothefucker, bring Conte in with two days practice.
I guarantee you we destroy Empoli.

it would be best not to call up icardi for this match. he's purposely playing like shit since he's been so gracious to come back after the faked injury.

I thought of the same thing....and you know who else maybe is sabotaging us on purpose?
Yup....he knows he’s out of here.

Wow, Pazza Inter it is. Just get the Champs League spot and give us a very much deserving break !! It is us who badly need the break and not the players. Oh wait, it doesn't matter whether they are taking a break or training - since we have no idea what they do every week.

We wouldn't have deserved the Champs League spot had it been the same coach and these players but there should be interesting changes (it better) and that is the only reason why we need to be in Champs League next season.

Can someone break down all he permutations of what could happen with each result on the final day

I really can't see our incompetent coach and players come out of this winner. The PSV match deja vu is the most possible scenario. We need a win, but will get a draw. Bye bye CL. Hello darkness my old friend.

 

[Fapuccino]

How far this club has fallen...no one is confident we can beat the 17th placed team at home in a do or die match.

 

[Il Drago]

Maybe it will be for the best i will be travelling on Sunday to attend a conference so i won't be able to watch the match. I can't believe our CL qualification counts on a win in the last game for a second season in a row.

This is going to be a long week.

 

[brehme1989]

For me it brings a bad PSV vibe as I won't be able to watch it most probably either and will also be traveling. I will try and clear my schedule and get somewhere to watch it, not because it will bring me pleasure, just because there's a 100% of games I do not watch where we gift the opposition a goal for no reason. (At least it's like 20% when I do watch the games )

 

[JJM]

If u can't win a Empoli at home in a final showdown you don't have any business playing in CL anyway...
Napoli are a better team than we are so losing to them wasn't much of a shock
Ok conceading 4 is really bad, just loser team who gave up, I blame everyone, for being pussies
Also Napoli had no pressure and we had ton of it...crumbling under it is our thing
Last season against Sassuolo in second last day... Same shit
Let's hope we can do what we did last season against Lazio in the final day and not a total collapse like on 5 may 2002.
Inter... Always drama to the last

I don't think we played this bad and cluelessly against Sassuolo last season as we did yesterday.
Also I think Empoli this match is stronger than last year's Lazio.
I don't have much hope.

I'll be glad when this crap season is over. I'm so done with Spalletti's spineless scared pussy football. If I want to watch women play I'll tune in to the Women's World Cup this summer, I don't want to see that shit at our club anymore.

Can you do it Spalletti? Can you build a team able to defeat mighty number 17 Empoli at home, with a squad that's just short of title worthy on paper? It would be such a marvelous achievement! Imagine talking about three points gained!!! Against a relegation side!!!!!!!! Imagine that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mere thought that we could drag this poor Milan side led by Private Gattuso till the last game of the season (let alone being overtaken by them again in shocking fashion) was absolutely sickening and has been for weeks, but here we are.

At the same time, I think I finally resigned myself to another (psycho)drama, the umpteenth, for the better or for the worse.
Being Inter fans, as reasonable as we may be, we have experienced "some very unreasonable things" in the past. We're used to this.

Similar to ol' Jack Burton from “Big Trouble in Little China”, when everything unfolds on Sunday, I'll look the big ol' storm right in the eye and say: "Give me your best shot. I can take it."

[The fact that "it's all in the reflexes" should be a concern, if we consider Empoli's current form, but we can do this.]

Brilliant, cheers.

As we go into the final 90 minutes of the Serie A season, Atalanta, Inter, Milan and Roma are battling for two Champions League places.

Juventus and Napoli have already secured the top two, but third and fourth remain up for grabs.

Atalanta and Inter both have 66 points, but the Orobici are in third thanks to their superior head-to-head record.

Milan trail on 65 points, with Roma outsiders on 63.

As mentioned before, my only hope is that Empoli need a win and they will have to open up at some point. Because Spalletti is hopeless against a parked bus..

 

[forzainter257]

If we miss out fans at Meazza should just invade the pitch and cause some pain to Spallo, Icardi, Radja, Perisic...

 

[vex]

Just imagining full panic mode here if we don't score in the first half, and other results not going in our favour, fuck its even difficult to think about that let alone live through it.
