Genoa's last loss was at the beginning of January, if we don't count the loss to Juve in Coppa and even that was in extra time. They beat Napoli and drew with Atalanta in this time, while other opponents were mid to bottom table. This will not be easy so i hope Inter wont go into this thinking they already won.

Allow me to be the 30th person to say Genoa are in top form since bringing Ballardini and we must not underestimate them :einstein:

Anyway, is there any news on Skriniar? Aside from his injury, he could be seen limping off the pitch at the end of the derby.

Skriniar? When did he get injured? I didn't notice anything. If you're referring to Barella then no. There are no news yet.

No letup lads, play smart and maintain discipline that's what champions do. Keep the pressure on Juve et al, let them crack. It won't be easy, but it's there for taking if you want the silverware.

Let's keep this thread as Ballardini's Genoa appreciation thread.

If we can concentrate after a key win and do the business against Genoa, I'll feel a lot better about our place in the table. This is a typical slip-up scenario where we allow an in form lower-midtable team hold us to a 1-1 draw or grab a cheeky undeserved win.

We're a much better team so there's no excuse. We have to show a champion mentality from here on out.

So reading the posts on this thread makes me believe this game will be a real test for Inter.

They said Lazio was in form with consecutive win. 3-1 for Inter.
They said Milan was in form and their loss to Spezia was a fluke. 3-0 for Inter.
They said Genoa is in form..

Genoa is playing 3 5 2 setup so naturally we would find them a little bit more harder to break as its mano vs mano and less easy space to exploit. They have Strootman, Badelji and our former Destro and Tripletta hero Pandev in great form. Its a shame theres no fans as Pandev would get a standing ovation. He´s still out there in Serie A ffs!!

Crazy to think that Santon & Balotelli are washed up, while Goran is flying strong as ever.

I'd say he's more wheelchairing strong as ever but point taken.

GdS is projecting Gagliardini to start for Barella and Darmian to start for Hakimi. Same starters otherwise.

It’s the lack of Hakimi that worries me more than anything. I think the importance of players to our team ranks:

1) Lukaku
2) Hakimi
3) Barella
4) Skriniar
5) Lautaro
