Blasphemies is a translation of swearing in Italian which is bestemmiando (I think).

Anyway, meh Roma are coming from a loss as well, let's hope Spalletti gets these idiots into gear, especially Perisic and Icardi.

I only ever bother to dig up information when I really want to make a point and I was more than angry enough about this fucking garbage to do it, so check these disgusting stats:

Naturally, we're all still laughing at Milan. One, for hiring a neanderthal in Gattuso, but in my case, moreso for their ludicrous ownership and financial issues. But since Montella was fired after their draw to Torino, and Gattuso was hired, they've actually won 8 points in the league while we've won just 6. SIX points in SIX league matches. That is fucking dismal. If we include Coppa Italia matches, they have 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in their last 8 matches while we've won ONCE, (I refuse to count that trash against Pordenone as a "win") with 4 draws and 3 losses. We've scored 7 goals in 8 matches.. 5 of which came in the Chievo match, which means TWO FUCKING GOALS IN SEVEN FUCKING MATCHES.

Obviously my intention is not to talk favorably of Milan - no matter our circumstances, they are trash. But if we compare ourselves to this trash, we're actually objectively worse right now. These fucking cunts need to wake the fuck up - every single one of them from Icardi and Perisic to Berni, Suning, Zhang, and Spalletti. I don't care what off-the-pitch or financial issues we have, there is no excuse for Icardi missing penalties and easy fucking chances. Perisic needs a fucking ass-kicking and Joao Mario is a fucking disgrace who should be ashamed to call himself a professional athlete. I hope those numerous missed chances of his keep him up at night. I hope they fucking replay in his head over and over and eat at him. That is the only attitude I can accept from a guy who has single-handedly damaged us so badly recently by missing game-winning chance after game-winning chance which were all harder to miss than to score. Literally our only good player in recent weeks has been Cancelo, and in parts, Skriniar and Vecino.

Just like the players, if Suning are having issues, whether FFP-related or with Chinese government restrictions, and they can't make funds available, then their entire fucking legal and financial departments should be scrambling, working 24/7 around the fucking clock looking at fundraising methods, ways to control their cashflow or even find regulatory loopholes in order to get money into the club.

Regarding Spalletti, I had severely divided feelings watching his post-Fiorentina conference where he ranted that "even his 80 year old mother knows we need a defender". On one hand, he's obviously right - the fact that we went into the season with literally 3 center backs is unforgivable, and now that it's become a problem, it's even more heinous. On the other hand - shut the fuck up. I truly believe Spalletti deserves a large portion of the blame for the recent nosedive in form. His tactical decisions and substitutions are sometimes outright Mancini-esque, meaning they make zero sense logically and have zero effect (if not a damaging effect) on the pitch. Against Fiorentina for example, I don't care that our one reserve defender in Ranocchia was injured. If Spalletti's plan was to defend and hang on to the 1-0 (which it clearly was), why did he not go all-in and simply instruct literally all 11 players to camp deep in our own half? Why did he not sub off the corpse of Valero for a fresh Brozovic? If we wanted to sit deep, counter with pace and waste time, why didn't he sub off Icardi for Karamoh or Eder? I don't care if we don't have a true DM in the squad, fucking scream at Gagliardini, Vecino and the other bald dickhead and force them to sit on the edge of the penalty box until we've secured the win. Take off Icardi and simply stack the box with bodies. I don't even know who the fuck this Lombardoni kid is, but even having him occupying space would have been more beneficial to our goal (of hanging on to the 1-0) than keeping Icardi on the pitch.

In summary, we are a fucking disgrace right now. We're disgracing the team, the club and all the great, great work we put into the season until December. Every single person whose name is associated with this club needs to wake the fuck up. Suning, the players, Spalletti, are all equally culpable in my eyes. Enough.

I've always been laughed at for supporting Inter but I never cared because what I was supporting was a team in which players work hard, we tried and lost but now we are a team where players don't understand what these colors mean, only the fans care about Inter it seems, only they understand what these colors mean, it seems for the rest it's just a business, something devoid of it's meaning with no soul, no meaning.

If it's only business, than they are doing a shit job at it. Because, when you work something, you at least should be dutiful.

You will be dtufiul if you get paid 5 dollars an hour. Not millions a year. Bcs with what they earn in a year we probably will never make in a lifetime.

On the positive side, we are better than Chievo.

Funnily enough, our winless run started after we destroyed them 5-0.

Our bad form last season started after a 7-1 result against Atalanta.

I'll never be able to celebrate a comprehensive Inter win again. 1-0 wins for me only, from now on.

To be fair, we had about six different stretches of bad runs last season.

You are right, Inter's poor run started in the game after that - against Juventus, even though that result was acceptable for us. Juventus showed all of Serie A how to stop Inter. Just double up your left midfielder and your left back, and block Inter's right flank. I don't know the real stats, but it seems to me that a good 70-80% of Inter's attacks originate from our right flank. Whenever we get the ball, Valero or Gags or Skriniar just pass it to Dumbo/Cancelo or Candreva to take it forward. Once this pattern became clear to everyone, it was only a matter of time opposing coaches will figure out a way to stop us.

And Allegri found a simple way to fuck up Inter. Double up on Inter's right flank, close down the space and force Candreva to go wider. With less time and space, Candreva's quality of crosses declined and he couldn't get past to cut back like before. And I have seen every club we have played since just copy this model. Now usually when this happens, it means the teams are giving us more space to attack from the middle. Vecino and Valero should have been exploiting that with runs through the middle. But thats not happened, they just keep shape and passing the ball horizontally. And we could have switched our attacks to the left more often, but for some reason Perisic is still not in the game enough. Even when he gets the ball, he usually just passes it back. We keep trying to attack from the right, and the results are disastrous.

Of course, one problem is the lack of attacking options. But I do agree with Uni here, there has been a problem with Spalletti's tactics lately as well. He was slow in reacting to this issue, and needs to mix things up more. He did try in the last game with Mario on the right, perhaps to force the team to attack more thru the middle, but that didn't work. Why hasn't tried Candreva in the middle yet? Why are our wingers not swapping more often, or cutting inside more? I really rate Spalletti, but he is not without fault here.

We desperately get a player who can attack through the middle or a winger who cuts in more often.

The only positive is Roma are bigger chokers than us. Let's get a draw so we finish ahead on H2H.

Since 2007, we have 7 losses, 7 draws and just 5 wins vs Roma. Same time period, we've kept a clean sheet twice at home and have conceded 3 goals in five of the ten games.
Since 2012 we have 3 losses at home, all with 3 goals against us and two wins, both with just 1 goal difference.

Arguably, we're bigger chokers than them recently. Realistically, we should be delighted with a 1-0 victory here.

Last year exactly this fixture fucked us up. We had 9 wins out of 10 games before, only to lose against these fuckers at home. Now we have a chance to keep them at bay.

We need a win not a draw. While the draw vs Lazio is acceptable, they are a well operated machine that destroys most teams on their way, but Roma is Roma . A mess right now, an opportunity to redeem ourselves.

Its a must win. We need to put EdF in place , Spallo has the opportunity to completely take over the h2h results. It might come handy in May.
