Inter - Genoa (21 Aug 21) [4-0]

[cuba gooding]

Just a thought I had but maybe Inzaghi wants Sensi to be a kind of decoy, like a false 10 that can drag players out of position for the likes of Hakan, Barella, and Brozovic to make runs into the box and get into more offensive positions.

Sensi is very good in tight spaces since he can show his magic and silky move. So his positioning in or around the box will be very interesting.

 

[I'mNewHere]

GdS predicts the same lineup as Kyiv. 3511 with Darmian and Perisic on the flanks, and Sensi behind Dzeko.

I don't like Sensi as AM tbh. I just don't think he's in the right zones of the pitch.

While he's good at linking midfield to offense with his dribbling and movement, I think he simply lacks the offensive skills to succeed so far up the pitch. He should be deeper IMO. He's simply not incisive enough with his final balls, and his shooting is fucking pathetic. A 12 year old girl in a wheelchair has a stronger shot than Sensi.

I know it's only a temporary measure in Lautaro's absence, but I wonder why he doesn't swap Calhanoglu and Sensi's positions. I'm skeptical of Calhanoglu (in general) but in terms of goals and assists, he has much better end product than Sensi. I think it's crucial for the AM to be a direct goal threat.

I like Perisic, more than most, but Dimarco's left foot is simply too good to not use. While Perisic will always try to cross from the byline, Dimarco can curl in these beautiful and accurate, diagonal crosses from deeper. The difference in cross quality when he came on in preseason games has been very apparent.

damn might be the worst take I have ever seen

Wake up Simone! Dimarco should be fixed as a starter. Fuck Ivan, he's so predictable.

 

[Strale]

After months of unparalleled degradation I'm very surprised how excited I am about this game, mainly to see what Džeko with Sensi, Barella, Hakan and Brozo + WBs behind him can do. I hope Dumfries and esp Dimarco get some minutes.

 

[IM21]

sky is also predicting the same lineup as vs Dynamo with Sensi behind Dzeko.

Thanks. Coming from the undisputed champion of worst takes that means a lot.

Don't we play on the 21st and not the 22nd?

Enjoy boys, quick clip/snippet from the football worldwide podcast in which we detailed matchday 1. Genoa predictions above

3-1 win for us. Pandev score their only goal.

For those in the Middle East, I heard that beIn no longer covers Serie A from next season and that it will be on the league's Youtube channel instead, is it true?

 

[Sawyer]

Valerio Marini announced as Referee.

We are heavy favourites for this game, wish we were not ha. Should be in the bag though, lets start how we mean to go on.

ball hype

 

[Il Drago]

Updates about injured players from GdS:

• Gagliardini's recovery is going better than expected and he will probably be in the squad for the match against Verona. It's unlikely he will get playing time before international break though.
• Lautaro's recovery is going well and he's expected to be available against Verona
• Satriano has already returned to training and he's going to be available against Genoa
• There's a lot of uncertainty around Sanchez condition so it's improssible to make a prediction about his return date but he's expected to miss both Chile matches during the international break

 

[YoramG]

Ah fuck it, I'm just excited for some club football again. The olympics was a palate cleanser I really enjoyed, but there's nothing like shouting at Matias Vecino on a Saturday evening.

 

[PHM1605]

If we win, Thuram will come here for 25m+.

If we lose, that's 35m+. For either Thuram or Correa.

Goodluck.

Man, that doesn't sound good... Hopefully he means in a context of fighting for title, coz I think we all made a peace with it that it will be almost impossible.

 

[diamen]

Desto was not called for this match which is good news. Genoa lost 3 of their strikers - Pjaca, Scamacca and Shomurodov and there is only Pandev who remained.
