Milan - Inter (23 Nov 14) [1-1]

[Hugo Boss]

Hate to see this forum complaining all the time, we are actually improving, apart from that goal, did Milan get another chance...
It takes time dude...

 

[Andysam]

I don't want to hear my dad say that our problem are our players, but probably yeah.

 

[yoszee]

Either Nagatomo or Ranocchia is the suspect fpr the first goal.

1+1

 

[Forzaforlan]

I agree with you with Obi but not when it come to Kuz. To be fair, he has played good during the whole first half...

agreed, kuz hasn't made mistakes but he's not taking charge of the distribution at all.. the fact that JJ and rano keep pushing up and he's sliding in behind them make me think he doesn't have confidence.

 

[Devious]

Crap derby, it makes me feel as bad for bilan as well.

 

[Doffy]

how is kova a natural cm if his defending and workrate is so bad?? he should learn how to am tbh.

 

[Kakaroto]

I hope Mancini doesn't force the issue with Kovacic at AM, at first I thought that was his position but I've realized it is not. His best position is as CM to the left.

 

[bibonzo]

I'd signal Obi, Kova, Kuzma and Palacio as culprits for bad performances so far. Guaro has been decent and somewhat involved as for Icardi he did very little but to his defense hardly anything gets to his feet so he can be forgiven but that early chance had to be a goal.

Defense is solid and broke out only after a few fuck ups from midfield so not there fault in reality that we are behind.

I'd say Hernanes for Obi shod be the prime move early on and see if we improve with Osvaldo for Palacio a bit later if we build up the momentum. Lots of stuff needs to be done by Mancio but i would signal individual fuck ups in the danger zone as something that needs massive intervention. If we continue like that nothing is gonna help us unfortunately regardless of formation.

 

[Bluenine]

Kova has never been a trequartista. Not sure why managers see him as one.

I see him as a regista, and hopefully Mancio will use him as one in the future. This game, with Hernanes and Osvaldo not fully fit, we don't have an option. I much rather play Kova as a trequartista than Guarin.

We have played decent football so far, one freak goal notwithstanding. I like the increased intensity about Inter's game. Passing is more purposeful and direct as well. And a couple of errors apart, the defense is already looking more organised with one CB less. Progress will be gradual, we all know that, but the early signs are all encouraging. At least Inter are not trying to bore us to death.

Hopefully we will see some attacking subs, specially if Osvaldo and Hernanes are fit to play 30-40 minutes. At least one of them should come in soon in place of Obi.

 

[Pravesh]

We had a pretty good 22 minutes, then they scored and have had better possession than us. As already said by all here, Obi has been terrible. M'Vila and mainly Hernanes should come in along with Osvaldo in the second half.

Can't expect big changes right away but we are atleast not holding the ball for long and avoiding those useless back side passes.

Lets hope for a better second half. Damn Icardi should have scored

 

[interista4]

We can't say Milan has been dominant. I like what I have seen so far after only a week of training.

Nah, no team was dominant, both are shit but we are shittier. Well atleast they scored a nice goal, Icardi missed the only chance we had, which was a gift by Milan. Not to mention their most important player in the centre, De Jong, is missing. But atleast they're not missing the rest of the team like Inter. Painful to watch, but you're right, we can't really expect miracles after a week.

"No player had more touches than Kuzmanovic(48) in first half."

 

[Y&h]

You know, I've been going through personal problems lately, and I'm looking to be reasonable and calm in regards to things like football. But no, we have to endure the shitty childish trolling during a manager's tenure, the ridiculous anti Mazzarri and anti Mancini posts could be fun for small laughs but not on a fucking daily dose.

We were good you blind fucks, just like the first half against Saint Etienne. Granted the finishing is still a problem, and the only way Milan caught us was from an Obi slip and a Juan positioning mistake.

Get over the 3/4 man defence and the Mazzarri defending shit.

 

[Jane The Virgin]

Fuck Obi and Useless Kuz

Kev, before saying anything about Kuz, there are tons of trees in line and one fairy.

Kuz has been better than Rano, Icardi and Kova.

Oh yes, forgot about Palacio :facepalm:, what is he doing even further in the back than nagatomo i dont know...

 

[Choppin Onions]

Were everyone healthy, I think our best midfield would (assuming Mancio rolls with the 4-3-1-2 for the time being) be:

Medel-Kovacic-Guarin
Hernanes

Kova simply needs to be in CM where he sees a lot of the ball. He's a possession based player.

1+1

 

[Maslany]

Hey football experts! Guess what! Back 4, everyone's magical wonder formula, that was supposed to change our entire game instantly is as shit as the back 3.

Motherfucking surprise!!! :epicwin: You didn't see that coming, did you?

One half to go. And no, we didn't think that suddenly we were gonna play better than the whole italian league together. But i see definite improvement.

Win or lose, we look different.
