Conte said Bastoni will be on the bench against Gladbach. Brace yourselves for another Kolarov start. :palm:

I want Darmian as right center back as D'Ambrosio is clearly not a good fit for Kolarov's partner at the back.

2020 and I'm praying Ranocchia is starting...

Conte clearly signed Kolarov so everyone here would want Darmian to play. Plan is a success.

It's the closest club in my area. All the people around me are Borussia fans. I've been an Inter fan for 19 years now and finally Inter comes close to my area and then the freaking COVID happened so I can't be in the stands of the Borussia Park...

Coming back to your question, Borussia will not be an easy opponent. Their coach Rose is a pretty good coach and their team has pretty good players too. Right now they have a pretty bad phase and the injury of Zakaria is one big reason for it.

But still, their strikers (Plea, Thuram and Embolo) are pretty fast and dangerous and their defence around Elvedi, Ginter and Sommer are very decent, too.

If we don't take them serious from the start, we will lose this game. And that is what I am afraid of because Italian clubs tend to undervalue German clubs (just think about 2011 the game against Schalke :palm:)

Another important question is: how good are their right side players?

We need to get our shit together.
If defence is leaking, then try to score 1 more goal then the opposition.
I equally blame our attack too as our defence, Lukaku has been missing some good chances + we need at least 1 of the 3 midfielders to be more attacking. (where the hell is sensi again?)

Lazio absolutely dominated Dortmund today. We're better than Lazio and facing an inferior German side.

I realize transitive properties do not apply to football matches, but the only way we lose this match is if Conte gets completely out-managed.

Kolarov. Teams will line up all their attacking moves to destroy that left flank. Atalanta will win vs Midtylland, aĺl the signs say we are on the front pages tomorrow after only we , out of 4 CL playing italians, fuck up again.

Dortmund isn't what they were a few years ago and Borussia M is underrated. Inter has a crisis in defense and is shit in Europe.

Marco Rose is a good coach. Able to bring out quite the best of his attacking players but maybe lacks that ability vice versa when it comes to the defense. If that's a good thing or not given the current situation - I'd prefer a clean sheet for once

There are some good news and some bad news. The good news are Gladbach are expected to start with 3-4-1-2. The bad news are Lainer is expected to start on the right. He's a really good player and he's going to have a party with Perisic and Kolarov.

This is our expected lineup:

INTER (3-4-1-2): Handanovic; D'Ambrosio, De Vrij, Kolarov; Hakimi, Vidal, Barella, Perisic/Darmian; Eriksen; Lukaku, Sanchez

Lazaro screamer goal from 30 meters away?

Imagine Conte playing a primavera player instead Eriksen because there is no other midfielder (Sensi Radja Gagliardini are out) :troll:
