Inter - Napoli (19 Oct 14) [2-2]

[I4E]

Guys, please, you blame Vidic for what!?
What can you do as a defender in that circumstances!???
Look at Dodo positioning for fuck sake!!!

It's Ranocchia's slow thinking stupidity that cost the goal. But, Dodô (or a number of other knuckleheads) that left Callejon totally alone & unmarked on the edge of the box that was inexcusable. Vidic done the right thing by getting his head to the ball first, he HAD to. Blaming Vidic is amateurish & childish.

 

[H_D_Swagger]

it bothers me that we celebrate a draw as if we won.
Yeah, I understand that we came back from goals behind..but we are not supposed to trail in the first place.

Maybe its just me, but our entire mentality and expectations seem to have slowly become that of a mid table team.
The Inter of 4 years ago would be extremely pissed now, but the way the goals were celebrated it seemed as if we are supposed to be happy..?

Exactly. SPECIALLY at home games, we should be always winning. Always. And it would be a DISASTER if we didn't won. Okay, I can give Juve and Roma, who are seriously SUPERIOR teams compared to us that we can't beat them even at Meazza. But all the other teams, they are really not that great, I mean clearly better than us.

That's why draw against Napoli at home, is a bad result. Meazza should be our fortress, a place where you can't get points. At the moment, we are farthest from that situation, sadly. It's really pissing me off.

After 2 losses this was a good response against Napoli. It was a close game but we were unlucky not to win. We had the better chances and if it wasn't for that Vidic fuck up we wouldn't have conceded the first goal.
We were much better than against Fiorentina, it was like night and day.
Of course the players celebrated the goal, it was a passionate game.
Hopefully this is a turning point.

i want mazzari to be sacked but honestly i got to say our reaction was appropriate.we managed to equalize while we are in worse trend. hence i wont join the debate of us having the midtable mentality. we clearly in decline form but i cant say more. napoli is good team, so i think draw is the best result.

 

[Ronaldo]

First goal was an assist by Vidic but I don't think it was his fault. He tried his best to clear the ball but why the hell was Callejon left open?!

 

[thatdude]

That 1st goal is Rano's fault more than anyone else. Why did he hesitate to clear the ball? that kind of thing is why he will never be world class.

Yeah that's why.

I4E how can it be ranos fault if we cant fucking defend a god damn throw in our team should be demolished

Well, tbh I expected a small loss. But in my heart still routing for a win. We were the better team, but once again clueless in offensive. Palacio didn't know where to run. Dodô delayed the play and didn't dare to cross. Mbaye/Obi weren't much better in their crosses.

On the other side, Kova dictated the game. And Hernanes wasn't total crap.

Handanovic : Couldn't do shit about the goals. No comment on his game. Did his job
Ranocchia : Great first half, second half bit worse. Callejon's second goal was his fault, left him open and clear to shoot the ball in.
Vidic : Perfect assist for Callejon's first goal. Awfull long ball. Nah, doesn't convince me.
Juan :Good defensive, but he must stop panicking and ramming the ball away or out.
Obi : Started off good, against his good foot, but managed to do okay, subbed after injury (?)
Kovacic :Pretty good game, needs more balls to shoot, also sometimes delayed game, but played well.
Medel :Good game, recuperated a lot of balls, good performance
Hernanes : Great goal, but bit absent in most plays. decent game
Dodô : First half bad, second half bad untill 75th minute or so. Delayed the game constantly, running forward ; instead of crossing, passing back Not good
Palacio :invisible, didn't do much. Lost a lot of balls
Icardi :Same as Palacio, except he had a big chance to score, but was slightly blocked, regardless should've been in.

Subs

Mbaye : Think we can exlude him from crossing from now on
Guarin : Brought some action and intensity in the game. Nice goal
M'Vila :Didn't understand this sub, why not bring in Bonazzolli ?

Mazzarri : We played good, but failed offensively. Also he's not to blame Icardi couldn't finish, Vidic & Rano fuck ups. But I do blame him for our poor offensive play. Also found that we were too slow.. Our team is not fit for a 3-5-2. There is simply no attacking midfield or any connection between midfield and strikers.

MOTM

Didn't find anyone outstanding

Notable

Rano, Kova, Hernanes

Fuckers

Our offensive plan
Palacio
Icardi
Dodô
Mazzarri

That 1st goal is Rano's fault more than anyone else. Why did he hesitate to clear the ball?

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I was disgusted when I saw him tap it out after hesitating for so long.

 

[Deva]

...
Hopefully this is a turning point.

The problem is that we've been hoping this for the past few years.

Vidic went for the ball when he had other teammates (4 in particular) in the box limiting the threat of Ghoulam's throw-in, where I believe Dodo left his position to easily clear it.

Ask yourself 'why was it a throw in to begin with ?' then get back to me.

And as I said, it was inexcusable that Callejon was totally alone & unmarked. suggesting it was Vidic to blame is hilariously outrageous.

Dont get me wrong, the players have every right to celebrate. But my point is that it is becoming clear that the leading mentality of this current Inter isnt a winning mentality.
Passionate match or not, bad luck to come behind or not, when you equalize, get your ass to your own half and go for the win.

Heck, if I recall correctly, Sneijders equalizer against Barca ( 3-1 home game) wasnt even celebrated. It was BAM! goal, kiss the ring, grab the ball, and lets murder these fuckers. And so we did. But now, every draw or goal we score gets celebrated like we are some kind of Special Needs Retard squad. might as well give gold medals to everyone at the end of the season.

And the fact that we tell ourselves things like "After 2 losses this was a good response against Napoli`` to me, is the proof that we have lowered our expectations and mentality.

just my two cents

 

[Ronaldo]

The commentator was saying that a Qatari investor wants to buy Napoli and has offered 195 million. De Laurantis and him are going to talk further in December during Super Cup between Napoli and Juve which is going to be held in Qatar.


If this happens we are fucked.. Expect a PSG in Serie A.

I don't find it outrageous to blame Vidic. As you see he was going in duel with Medel . There was no Napoli player in a dangerous position to shoot or head it in. Vidic simply gave the perfect assist.

 

[Y&h]

Highlights & blame game..

 

[CafeCordoba]

No, it was Dodo who LEFT Callejon all alone. If you look the replay, you can see that Dodo has Callejon there, but then leaves his position to go to that aerial battle where we already have enough men. I blame Dodo even more than Vidic.

 

[Tanel]

That first goal was Dodo running around headless to defend empty space. Second one difficult to blame Rano for it, he was already covering one player, rather someone from midfield should've followed Callejon's run/made it harder for him to have channel to run into.

As for the performance. First half was good, first time this season we actually seemed to control a game. Second half we went stale except for immediately after Napoli's goals.

Overall I was disappointed to see us happy with a draw when we are in desperate need of 3 points. We took fucking minute to celebrate the Hernanes goal rather than grab the ball and use the momentum to push for another one.

And looking at our full-backs. My god we were blessed when we had Maicon and Chivu/Zanetti on the other....

It's true, we don't have the same mentality as we did a few years ago, but that's inevitable given where we are at the moment. Ok we shouldn't be too happy with a draw, but at least we showed some spirit today.

 

[Pajo]

Jesus Christ, who the fuck cares? Football is team play, remember? For every goal that's conceded there are like 5 people that share the blame, some more, some less. Who cares who has the main fault?

It's mainly the system anyway.

 

[Zlatan4life]

Playing much better but the same problems persist. There's no support for the man with the ball. No one making off the ball runs so Kovacic is just jerking off by himself with no one to pass to. Dodo's crossing has been questionable. I don't really know what the fuck he thinks he's doing. Palacio keeps drifting wide leaving Icardi incredibly isolated. In a match like this, where we're playing far more fluidly and have far more possession than usual (which is a good thing), Osvaldo would have been far more useful.

Giving no support is the main problem. Where are the runs without ball? Far too often we get the ball up to midfield, become slightly pressured, and just send the ball back again... and then repeat, for long periods of time. Mazzari just hasn't built a team made to hold ball and attack.
