Inter - Milan (16 Sep 23) [5-1]

[Ethor]

7 shots, 2 on target, 28% possession, 76% pass accuracy, and 4 corners. Only complaint the crosses need to be better.

 

[delaurentis]

Which is the point of todays game. We aren't letting Milan have any counterattacks, if possible. I love it

Correct, how long has it been we've seen Inter being dangerous on the counter-attack??
We saw Dzeko running like a snail - lakaka having the ball bounce of his feet

Thuram is really a breath of fresh air - imagine if we'd still have Hakimi instead of Dumbfries to accompany this team.

28% possession is crazy. We are really daring them to break us down, and so far they haven't proven they can.

Good game off football, we may be winning but we need to start the second half as if it was still 0-0 one more to secure and put to bed please, Toro, you're up.

 

[Kramerica Industries]

Is that Hakan doing the crocodile?

Appropriately enough, I suppose.

Facts.. Dzeko was a corpse last year.. seeing thuram win all these 50/50 long balls and just outrun everyone is sexy as fuck

For a broke club, this is a dream start to a season. We beat this Milan like this, we could play the same football against Napoli and Lazio and get a good result for sure.

Not so sure against Juve, but I trust Inzaghi.

 

[Choppin Onions]

We’ve been fucked by Milan counters too many times in the past. It’s clear that Inzaghi wants us to concede possession and let them have the ball as much as they want and we’ll hurt them the same way.

Lo and behold, look at the score.

pass accuracy is really poor, need to improve that to retain the ball a bit better. Appreciate we're playing counterattacking, which is fine, but still - we'd all breath a little easier if we could slow the game down a bit and retain the ball

 

[Irequis]

You know another best thing with Thuram? We don't need to see lakaka points out the very inch he wants the ball at. Meanwhile Thuram chases the ball or just acts indifferent whenever we mispass -which we do a lot in this match-.

 

[Stefan]

Excellent performance. Dominated early took the lead. Then allowed bbilan midfield control and hit them hard on the counter. Sommer hardly needed to make any save.

Simone is making me surprised tbh. He is switching from a gungho-attack coach to a counter-attack with low blocks. Which was and is always our DNA.
That is a good sign.

Inter have counter-attack in their DNA - happy Inzaghi found it out now. You can't just erase history like that

 

[danz]

Toro has been so good so far. No sloppy pass , stupid trick etc.

hehe, we both typed the same message at the same time

Their counterattacks aside, this is the way everyone should play against them. They really have bad time with low blocks and it shows big time. And when you mix it up a little bit like we did with possession football, they are clueless. The only thing saving them is theo or leao individual brilliance.

Yeah, the low pass accuracy is partially due to the long passes from the back, but your right should slow the tempo down every now and then.

 

[thatdude]

We've basically taken their dynamism away from them by playing so deep, which is the strength of this Milan team. You don't want to get into a run and gun battle with these guys. Inzaghi recognized that and built a game plan. You have to respect that.

He was awful in the first half
