We would’ve won this game had Conte been out coach
Yeah this is the type of game Conte liked but with our roosters we wouldn't win with him on the bench. Conte need pacey wingbacks like Hakimi and Perisic to execute his counter attacking football which we don't have.

Our aim this season is to win the title, Milan's aim this season undoubtedly is to fuck up our aim and nothing more. Also, when it comes to a derby, they can be in the last position with 0 points and still play much better than they usually... Having ssaid this, they didnt deserve a point today. They didnt create shit the first half, and yet scored a dumb goal. This is one of those rare moments that i refuse to go back and read the rest of the comments as the game progressed (something that i enjoy doing), becuase one page, i just cant keep up with some peoples mental gymnastics here...


The same bunch of kids (and its sad to use the word kids for guys that are 25 or even 30+ year old) who cried when Calha was missing, then went into deep analytics to bash everyone who tried to play in his role, then celebrated like its fucking 4th of July when he announced that he is back for the derby, are now the same ones who are saying "bUt hE nOt, rEaDy Zielinski rEady"...

Good thing is napoli also got one point...

SMH - This is football.

Do you know how many cards, PK's have been blatantly missed over the years? Move on...

It wasn't our day, any other day it was would have 4-1. We take the point they got lucky and focus on the next game. The season is too long, its the not the big games that will lose us the league. Its the bullshit ones when everyone is tired and it is a grind and they take it for granted.

Keep Calm, this is football.

Tbh they could've get a pen when Dumfries cleared the ball before Abraham but hit him afterwards. Back in the day that's not a pen but nowadays it's given. So we should be happy at least refs were consistent to not awarding not so blatant penalty calls, they were more old fashioned in this regard.

See that Viola away game in 2022 when we won 4-3, iirc Barella did the same as Dumfries today and they gave it a pen.

What Simone is still frustrated about, imo, was the foul on Asllani in the supercoppa after which they scored. Whenever a trophy is on the line refs allow Milan to commit a foul, not give it and they score on us later.

Chiffi didn't give us one corner, booked Dumfries for only a slight push and micromanaged our throw ins too much which was annoying, if you want a free flowing game don't use double standards and really let the game flow.

Tl;dr Chiffi is a bit of a cunt, but not too many important grievances yesterday. We should blame ourselves and the goddamn left post for drawing this game.

Let's fucken beat Viola twice this week and put this shit behind us.

Don't want to discuss 3 posts and 3 offside goals or penalty. The thing that got me is that Bilan is actually shit team with a newly appointed coach. Supercup maybe they got lucky but today I just didn't see enough from us. I don't want to win derbies with penalties. I just didn't see grinta, no real rush, no organic nor fluid combinations in midfield. Stats lie for this one. We dominated nearly everything but it was mostly headless chicken. Don't forget Bilan had to work harder with 10 men, more energies spent than us who beat 10 men Lyon like it was a training game. Inzaghi is not the best out there with his subs but today I could see his frustration taking out key players cuz nothing was working from them. We got lucky Rannieri did us and himself a favour later limiting Napoli but now there's no rest and they'll be breathing down our neck to the very end and maybe even go ahead. Bilan started strong, we should have responded stronger, more agressive and killed their momentum from the very begining. Being held 1-0 from Bilan until whatever extra time was added is not the way to go if we're gonna win anything this year. We score 2.62 and concede 0.86 while these mfs nearly lost to Parma. We were 8/8 and you can't win them all but I'd rather drop points to that 1-1 draw with Monza rather than loose points playing these morts

This is not just bad luck...we piss our pants in the final third vs this cunts every time...I don't know why...it's frustrating af to watch
And Lemon hasn't fixed it in 3 games
I don't think it's Simone's fault that the ball hit their post 3 times. I think we can all agree that we deserved to win tonight, right?

I would have &fired up the team to be more aggressive and shift gears up, but other than that, the play was good and we had plenty of chances.

My only consolation is that Angelino scored a late equaliser against Napoli.

It would have been even more brutal than SuperCoppa to lose this game.

Even milanisti were like " its a fair result'

Don't have one.

No, I think we needed a totally different approach. We should have let them play their football coz that's how they lost majority of the points so far. They only know how to be reactive, hence so many results they turned around and why they were only dangerous when we made a mistake. When they try to be proactive, they are toothless.

I think those six games in a row we won against them kinda clouded our judgment and the approach. We can't bully them anymore with our quality, fancy footwork and aggressiveness like last season, we need to be more cunning and smarter. We definitely need to go to that type of direction if we face them again this season.

At least one of our boys wanted to win this after we equalised. I was also celebrating like crazy but we had them on the ropes and we wasted 2 minutes under the Curva.

Luckily the ref did give enough time for us to try to score another one. Even tho our players celebrated instead of running to our side, no time was lost. It had to feel good finally scoring.

Inter was the better team. On any other day, this could have easily been a 3 or 4-goal win for Inter

This game shows the fine line between success and failure. At one point during the match, I thought this just isn’t Inter’s season. Luckily Napoli drew their game.

MOTM: Bilan's post

Losing 2x and drawing against this uber shittards is a stained image on Inzaghi's part as well as our bitch ass players.
This cunts sometimes need a drill sergeant and Lemon is too soft for this.
Crying about the refs is weak ass shit too
Refs miss penalties all the time...against everyone not just us.
Yes we should have scored 5 but we didn't and at this point it not only lack of luck it also...well Inter lacking precision many times in crucial games where u don't get 100 chances per game like vs Empoli,Verona and the like.

Unfortunately the trend of being a free-scoring team that really struggles to score against the good teams they play against persists and I don't think it's going away anytime soon without new personnel.

Now I get that Milan aren't to all intents and purposes a good team based upon their season overall, but to be fair they have played well against us this season. We never looked like scoring against Bayer Leverkusen, barely threatened Man City and created absolutely nothing against Arsenal which was masked by the penalty winner. Domestically they failed to kill off Napoli and even against Juventus, despite actually scoring freely in that game, the main story was how many good chances they missed to put the game well out of reach.

Yesterday felt like the same sort of pattern of a lot of huff and not very much puff. I feel like a broken record when every week I am bemoaning the promising positions this team creates and then throws away because of a poor final ball, not enough guile in our around the box, or crosses that are overhit or go to the place different from where the strikers have made a run to. The attacking part of the game seems so improvised rather than structured like the defensive and midfield parts.

Barella was quite poor yesterday, Dumfries was subdued and I've had the feeling that Di Marco - the best player overall this season - has gone off the boil in recent weeks. Inter had a lot of the ball in advanced areas but Milan defended comfortably and Maignan really did not have that much to do. The next evolution in this team needs to be the introduction of a dribbler, someone who is comfortable in packed areas of the pitches.

We can never bemoan the spirit of this team however and when you have that sort of determination and togetherness then you will always be competitive.

Who was saying Zalewski was a nothing player?!
He did more in 10minutes than the others did in 85..!

We looked scared of Milans press, didnt move the ball quick enough and didnt seem to trust each other. Even some complaining between the players.
The least i'd expect of a Conceicao team is organisation, intensity and vertical football so they must have expected the press?

However, they got through it and when De Vrij scored at the end it was like a win!
