A bitter end to a game we all felt we deserved more out of it.
Overall, a slightly above average performance. Nothing spectacular was ever required, just a result. Losing 1-0 away given the circumstances isn't that difficult of a result to overturn.
The goal: I cant really completely blame Chivu for it. There were two defenders at the near post, 85% Lucio, that couldn't clear the cross and even Cesar's positioning+hesitation was questionable, in fact almost any ball on target, away from where he was standing, would've went in. Chivu had a decent game, he was tough, tenacious and showed some heart and determination, something some other players might consider instead of whining and complaining.
What we've learned:
-Forlan looks good, he's made good runs when he could and he's played the whole 90. Yes, he lacked a better partner up front.
-Obi's sub stabilized the team for the better part. He was industrious and provided help on both ends.
-Cambiasso offers so much more when not being restricted defensively.
-Sneijder was good too, especially considering the limited outlets he had. Again, nothing spectacular was asked from the team today. He found his targets.
-Ayew did caused us problems with his height. Ranocchia might be a better challenge for him but his lack of concentration sometimes causes second thoughts.
-Our genuine lack of flank players continue to restrict and hurt us.
The 3rd sub:
-Milito was part of the stabilizing tactic that Obi achieved. Also, most likely he was going to take Forlan's place and not have two strikers like most suggest (wish) but Forlan actually got on with it.
-It would also be difficult to judge how Pazzini would've performed but looking at how the team was set up I don't think he would've added much at all.
-Other than that, the team looked defensively sound so why change the defensive unit around?
-Also, the idea of running down the clock before the last corner and pretty much just using the sub since we still had one, the ref would have had OM take their corner anyway and that would mean that a player would have to leave the box area and OM would take it before the other player was anywhere near the box, quite pointless but they still scored.
Man of the Match: Moratti. Just the fact that he was there speaks volumes.
Until next time,
Forza Inter!!!
