yet another 2 wasted points
Parma missing 8 players according to TS. A hard fought draw incoming?
Congrats on the forecast, even if it was meant as trolling.
He then blames the draw on the tough schedule.
He blamed it on poor finishing this time
A well earned point for which he can not fault the lads.
He could blame it on the ref this time
blivious:
Looking at our line-up, De Vrij, Ranocchia and Kolarov at back 3 against Gervinho was a disaster waiting to happen. The only possible solution that I can think of is swithcing to back 4 which suits the available players. Here's where Conte's problem emerges. He doesn't switch his formation, and he hasn't chosen the right defenders in mercato.
This is definitely 100% on Conte. The players have done their best including Perisic and Kolarov. It's not their normal role. They can't do any better. Conte should have a plan B when we miss key players. He clearly has only one formation which is why we lost the 2 points today.
Agreed, Conte could have done better. Everybody outside Italy knows he can only play the same way, let alone Serie A. Misplacing players and hoping he`ll get away with it is NOT the way to go.
For some reason we are useless on corners. Ranocchia
what a stupid header, str8 into Sepe
he should have drawn level there.
We can argue that he was trying to rotate, then he sets expectation for us to win against Real?
Rizzoli: 'Inter should've had a penalty'
Refereeing designator Nicola Rizzoli admits ‘there was a mistake’ by the referee and VAR when Inter weren’t awarded a penalty against Parma.
The incident infuriated the Nerazzurri, as Ivan Perisic seemed to be pushed over by defender Botond Balogh during the 2-2 draw on Saturday.
“There was a penalty that objectively should’ve been penalised,” Rizzoli told Sky Sport Italia.
“Undoubtedly, if the striker is first to the ball, the defender is behind him and uses his arms to pull him back, that is a penalty that ought to be punished.”
The referee waved away appeals and was in a very good position to view it,
so why did the VAR not urge him to check the on-field review monitor?
“The VAR has to look for objective situations and there it is objective that the arms are over the shoulders, so prevent the striker from jumping.
“In this case, the VAR should’ve intervened. It is an individual error, I am here to give some clarity, this was an error and it should’ve been a penalty.”
Rizzoli also clarified that if the VAR urges a referee to view the on-field monitor, the protocol is to watch the replay, it is not in the decision-making process of the referee to refuse the viewing.
PS: Ref was Marco Piccinini, replacing initially designated Luca Pairetto who was injured. VAR ref =
Maresca.
