Perisic is starting to come good a few more games and I think we'll have a star player. Mancio just needs to keep him in his position that he is accustomed too instead of playing him out of position.

Brozovic penetrated forward more in the second half and won us few free kicks. lol. he nearly dropped dead when Melo was taken out. In the first half, most balls were played through Perisic and Jovetic from the left.

Very close, but we need better.

Crazy game, was very close indeed. Last 40 mins we just sat back and we were nearly punished.. Onward to Palermo.

Really hope Jovetic stays fit! :interflag2:

Alegri about his team :“Once again, we have to realise a team that scores nine goals in eight games cannot win the Scudetto, so we’ve got to improve our finishing.”

While we have 8 goals:eek:blivious:

They're not playing the stellar defense we are...

:yao:

These tactics are pathetic. I was only 12 years old when Mancini started his first run at Inter, but I swear the tactics back then weren't this terrible.

I hope we can follow up our draw with a multi-goal victory against Palermo (no conceding, of course). Hopefully Ljajic can see some game time then and Icardi can score a brace.

What is your obsession with the laughing face? Like after every game do you have to post something annoying with those fucking emoticons? I might be frustrated with the result and that's why but this guys posts irk me so badly.

On the actual game seriously wtf Mancini, I was so happy to see Perisic start on the wing and thought great he's going to the position we actually bought him for, then second half Mancini must of been like just kidding.
The defence while not amazing is something for the first time in five years I'm not worried about and I'd say is actually pretty decent. Handa also looks more motivated this year and honestly like a new man.
For the love all that is sane why oh why was Kondogbia not subbed in earlier oh for say I dunno Melo and not Medel right at the end?!?!?
There are some positives though I suppose, as I said earlier, the defence, the first half and in general the fact that if it was even just a year ago our team would have imploded from the defeat by Fiorentina now we seem more stable (I hope). Anyway hopefully 2 away wins are to follow this result.

To all the Mancini haters, here's just a quick explanation of what happened:

1. We had one of the best halves in the first half, I don't think anyone can argue with that
2. Second half, our players started to tire, and not Brozo, but Jojo, Medel and Melo. Brozo is no magician or technical player, he needs support when going forward and couldn't find it in Jojo who was less mobile or Medel who was sitting back more and more (Medel was much more involved offensively in the first half). I think one of the reasons why we performed so well in the first half was the aggression and mobility of Medel and Melo who would cut the ball early and usually offer an extra man in the final third.
3. Mancini had a couple of options, to change one of the CMs to give the side extra mobility, or to change module, putting in Bibiany on for Brozo and really going for the kill. The second option, although gutsy, would have given Cuadrado even more space and made our two CMs even more pressed. Bearing in mind Melo was already on a yellow, he decided to change him and go with the latter option.
4. Many argue for a Kondogbia/Brozovic switch, I think that the reason it didnt happen is because Mancini wanted two midfielders to offer width, especially after Dybala came on who could've double teamed with Pogba on Santon and caused problems on the right. Putting in Kondog would've done very little to us going forward but exposed us at the back (I think). You have to Remember that Jojo and Icardi were unable to run much by then, so switching to a 4-3-3 was impossible because 2 our of the 3 at the top were pretty much static by then.

In conclusion, whine all you want about Mancini not going for the win, remember you myopic bastards that last season we would've:
a. Been unable to dictate how the game was played, which is EXACTLY what Mancio did tonight, albeit in a manner that you don't like.
b. Probably conceded three or four goals

@Mnassar, I'm not a Mancini hater but at the same time I'm not a lover of his managerial style. What I'd like to question about your post is point 1 'we had one of the best halves in the first half'... What exactly was so good about it ?

The pressing and intensity of the team was without a doubt impressive. Off the ball they 'looked' fantastic. But ! Once in possession, there was simply no real structure or fluidity in the attacking third. They simply relied far too much on individuality to orchestrate any real opportunities (which there was only one) and the long balls are too ineffective when you consider Icardi had to wrestle against some very strong & experienced defenders.

This type of attacking build-up is a lottery, sometimes you may get away with a moment of brilliance but that is simply not a reliable or good enough plan.

It's quite evident that it doesn't work when you consider that we haven't scored a single goal in the opening 30 minutes of a game this season yet we continue with this hard pressing starts to a game.

Juventus was splendid defending that first half. Pushed Inter wide all the time and aside from the Brozovic 'fuck-it-i'm-gonna-have-a-crack' attempt that hit the bar, Juventus had absolutely no issues with dealing with our attacks.

Sorry, but it's gonna take a hell of a lot more to make me believe we were 'great' in that game.

Fair point in that it didn't really translate into real tangible chances on the Juve goal, but to me it was clear what they were trying to do, and that is reach just outside the Juve box with the ball at Perisic, Jojo or Brozo's feet. The fact that nothing real happened thereafter can be attributed to one of two things:
1. We lack a real creative player who sits in the hole and gives the final pass, but let it be known that we're never gonna have this guy, not with Mancini here, so our best bet is to play with Melo-Kondog and have Kondog push up and provide that extra bit of vision and quality in delivery
2. Our front three just haven't played together enough. Often Jojo gets the ball, and you can see he's trying to find Icardi but can't, the same with Perisic (I think it might be time to try a trident of Ljajic, Persisic and Jojo).

But EVERYTHING else in that first half was perfect, pressing, build-up play, defensive organisation and attitude.

*also let it be known that I am no Mancini fanboy, but like Browha put it, I'm tired of this 13 year old jerk off circle that is the mancini bashing brigade. Kids think that they see something a manager with 20 years experience doesn't.

GdS's has offically become a joke. In what world did Icardi play as well as Murillo yesterday? Also, how was Barzagli not man of the match?



Also, I'm definitely not on the "that was our best football in years" brigade. I was impressed with our intensity in the first half, and we certainly flustered Juventus. However, they had just as many good chances in the first half as we did despite our "dominance". Not to mention that playing at such an intensity clearly had negative effects in the second half as we couldn't keep it up.

Also, the whole, "who are you to judge or disagree with a highly successful coach with years of experience" shtick is so ridiculous. Time and again experience coaches have made obvious mistakes and terrible decisions. If an experienced chef burnt your food one wouldn't hesitate to criticise them for doing so, but yet somehow because this is professional football he's beyond reproach? Mancini is just as fallible as you or I.
