It was a foot injury? I was sure it was his hamstring / thigh based on the way he pulled up.

Nah it looked like it was his ankle or something, but Conte said "Gagliardini had this problem with his foot, we’ll evaluate him later.”

Doesn't sound serious though, luckily.

None of us has been in Inter trainings this season. Which means none of us knows better than Conte which player should play or not.

Facts are we have a coach that knows what hes doing. Trust him that if Agoume doesnt play, it means he isnt ready yet.

Did you see how many balls Valero lost in the matches he played? Valero was a decent player but we tend to over value experience and under value potential.

As it looks for now, there is no way Agoume will not play at last 1-2 games. We have only 3 midfielders, i don't think there is some other solution. Valero will probably die on the pitch soon if he plays every game, ffs.

Lol forget about Roma, going vs the strongest team in the world with the one of the worst midfield line-up in Inter's history shall be the most painful shit we'll ever see. See that second half vs SPAL and multiply by 9000.

Isn’t Sensi meant to be back for this one?

Icardi is at most a 65mil striker, isn't that the amount PSG are going to pay for him? Lukaku should really score better goals since he is pricier.

We also have Asamoah and Candreva who can be our emergency options for the midfield.

I honestly think we could have done it against Barca, but with Barella and/or Sensi out, we're fucked.

They have a choice of De Jong, Rakitic, Arthur, Vidal, Busquets vs Brozovic and two amateurs :lol:

Maybe Slavia can pull off a massive upset in Dortmund? :lol:

Roma is beatable but they're an improved squad under Fonseca. It won't be easy with Grampa Valero and that useless nugget Vecino running around aimlessly. Get the ball to LM and Rom and they can win it for us though. Probably the best we can hope for all things considered.

A record breaking season is made on May, not November/December.

If we beat some team 20-0 in September there's nothing worth celebrating about it other than the Sunday it occurs.

Just say you want the team to fail and be done with it. :lol:

Honestly, with De Vrij back there and Brozo as our pseudo-DLP our best chance might be to bypass the midfield entirely and play off of Lukaku and Lautaro battling their CBs, both here and against Barca.

I have more faith in Vecino getting in with his weirdly good sense of attacking timing after a Lukaku lay off than trying to construct a cultured manoeuvre between Vecino, Borja, Candreva and Biraghi.

I would go for this against Roma.

Handanovic
Godin - De Vrij - Skriniar
Lazaro- Valero/Asamoah- Brozovic - Vecino- Asamoah/Candreva
Lautaro-Lukaku

Roma left side is weak defensively so i would prefer Lazaro on the right over Candreva in order to exploit it. I would also consider playing Asamoah in midfield but i can understand if Conte thinks it's too risky experimenting in this game.

It will be tough. We BARELLY have SENSIational midfield to play with.

True, but we have the players to give those Roma son-of-a-Brozovic's a good fight. Or do you think we Cont-ey? Are you not confident like (Agou)me?
I think after the game it will be Inter who are Biragging(hee!).
