That may be how the game started, but this is how it ended:

KFC.

In the injury time, I've never seen Inter pressuring a team so hard up in the box, it was literally 20 players inside the 6 yard box, it was great to see such determination from the playersin that moment to grasp that win.

It was in 1-1 situation when substitutions were made. Radja sprinted to sideline and Kane were playing time and walking. That told what kind of psychologiacal situation it were. Inter was going to get a win and Tottenham afraid of conciding like it eventually happened.

Well, "We are back"... and what a crazy way to show it, right at the end!


It's funny because, a few seconds before that, Trevisani said: "... this corner kick reminds me of something... what if "la prende Vecino"?
Then Vecino "la riprende" and he goes totally berserk (who didn't?), while Adani screams about "la garra charrua" and its mysticism.
Easter egg: in the heat of the moment, Trevisani suddenly mentions Berti ("There's Nicola Berti...") before getting interrupted by Adani, who speaks over him.
Maybe Nicolino stormed into the commentary box, surely he was involved in a mad and not-sober celebration.

September 18: again much love to Eupalla, goddess of the beautiful game, who wrote this stuff. We needed this.

This is one of those situations when the result is too important to question the way you achieve it (provided you don't cheat, of course).

I appreciated the collective effort to play high pressure defence, which forced many turnovers in our favour, even though we never took advantage of them. Too bad it only lasted for 35 minutes or so.
Eriksen's goal was undeniably a hard blow for the guys, especially with their morale already so low, but somehow we found the way to stay into the game and eventually to scrape a win. Let's hope this fundamental win can boost our players' confidence for the upcoming games.

Our next CL fixture is PSV away. Considering that Spurs and Barça will face each other, we MUST capitalise on this opportunity.

Still cannot realize how terrible that Tottenham defence was in the Vecino goal.

The set piece is essentially split into two areas:
Area A: This is where the balls goes from Candreva's corner. We have de Vrij, Skriniar and Miranda. Three center backs, who are typically considered dangerous for set pieces. And de Vrij in particular is known for being an aerial threat on both ends
Tottenham's response? Just three people on them. And I think it's Eric Dier on de Vrij who simply stares at the incoming ball and has no clue where Il Muro Nuovo is. Basically you'd expect higher concentration in both the mental aspect but also in terms of people. Tottenham was left naked here.

Area B: We have another three players here. It's Vecino, Icardi and I think the other one is Keita Balde. They have three players man marking these people and three spare ones right in front of the GK. All concentrated in that area, expecting a cross in the first post.
They have zero players sitting on the line and there is no one in the second post, while we have Valero lurking outside the area on the other side and they have Eriksen sitting on the edge of the area, centrally, but on the other side of where our spare attacker is. If it were D'Ambrosio instead of Valero there, you'd expect him to make a run in the second post, being all free.

Now what Tottenham does is... Ball goes to Area B, Lucas Moura, one of the three stranded players of Area A, just leaves, while Aurier who man marks Vecino decides there's no point anymore and Vecino is free, between 4 Tottenham players who cannot reach him. And of course de Vrij gets a free header.

There's like 6 defensive mistakes there. And this team is supposed to be the 2nd best oiled machine in the Premier League after Man City.
For those who can't count:
1) Setup mistake #1, three players doing nothing in front of the keeper
2) Setup mistake #2, bad judgement of who the main offensive threat is (the 3 CBs)
3) Setup mistake #3, we have a free player on the other side of the pitch and they have an additional 4th player, doing nothing, sitting at a very wrong spot.
4) Man marker leaves de Vri unattended.
5) Defensive player abandons his post like his life depended on it, even crushed onto Miranda while running away from the situation.
6) Man marker leaves Vecino unattended.

This was really amateur stuff. And thank fuck for that.

We are perfect, what a passion.

Trevisani and Adani are amazing, really. Fans from other clubs are saying that they celebreted too much, like it was on Inter Channel. Fuck them, i want to hear this always, stop with the annoying commentators.

nothing can get me so fucking excited as our win, especially when it's so fucking late (both vs Lazio and Tottenham).

just a few words from me:
- Brozo is a fucking class and i hope that he continues like this
- Skriniar can play wherever he wants
- Vecino was the one that made the pass to Asamoah prior to the cross to Icardi. Matias had a poor game, but once again his late goal got me hyped up so imma just shut up
- fuck Candreva, a fucking useless donkey
- Perisic was meh, while i quite liked Poltano
- Keita is a baller

Radja, i fucking love that man. So passionate, so grateful and hard worker. His tackle, even tho they seemed not necessary, he was everywhere, linking up the midfield with the attack.

as for Handanovic, i never liked him, so fuck him.

hope we will be even better when Vrsaljko is fit and everybody else is more cohesive.

Sempre, Forza Inter my dudes.

What a game! Wow!

But let not forget we were shit until the last 5 minutes. If you don't remember in this eufory, go and read the comments before page 27.

Vecino is the irony and somehow the image of this Inter. He was useless all the game and Bang! We should use him only as a substitute. Anyway, all he can do is to score decisive goals in the last minutes. He could play as a substitute in the last 10 minutes. He is also probably the best invstment o Suning until now. His goals brought us a lot of money.

We should reevaluete papa Valero. He is old as fuck and slow. But he is a cerebral player who know how to pass and build the play. As a substitute in the last 25-30 minutes, he could be more than useful

Spallo, for the name of God! Be more flexible. Fuck your 4-2-3-1, if you don't have on effective players for such a set-up. And that without going in details if the players are wright for this.

Totenham was stronger than barca... totenham was unbeatable lol... totenham this totenham that :D

We had a terrible performance and missed key players and played even keyer (lol i know its not a word but sounds cool) players out of their positions and still won.

Kane being a killer, faggot missed a clear one on one chance. Icardi scored a world class goal. And yet this performance of ours was shit.

Brozo and radja bossing, politano boy, i take all back why i said about you, you are our skriniar for this season, gem. If it wasnt for that fugly Kane that free kick would have been a golaso!

Cant stop watching the highlights... lol my head still hurts voice is shitty still, just noticed thative messed up the couch as welll cant remember when during the game

It wasn't surprised at all by their defending on the Vecino goal. I watched their match vs Watford and they conceded 2 set piece goals. The defending on both goals was abject. It seems Spurs have become really vulnerable to set pieces alluvasudden.
