Milan - Inter (7 Nov 21) [1-1]

[wera]

It was just a joke, I like half of these players as well. The joke is that I mentioned (some, not all of these) players from EPL that might not really be players other players are scared off. The first four were intentional, the later ones are a bit more random.

It's all love between me and Brehme.

It's not about the scare factor. That's also much less frequent these days. It's about the leading personality factor.

You look at other teams, how many leaders do you see them having? Our Triplete squad was lucky to have several of those, including players who were captaining their national teams or previous clubs.

Real Madrid had that in their three year CL run with Ramos, Cristiano, Modric, Kroos, Navas, Pepe and maybe Bale plus Benzema?

You look at Manchester City, you don't see this being a factor. De Bruyne? Sure, great player, but not so confident in his leadership skills. You could argue Fernandinho and perhaps Ruben Dias, but that's about it. And this is the most hyped squad out there until PSG made this crazy summer mercato (and for this kind of effect they have Messi, Ramos, Marquinhos, Navas and maybe Verratti?)

We're not really that far behind the top teams. We have guys like Skriniar, Barella, Perisic, Dzeko, Vidal and guys like Handanovic, Kolarov and Ranocchia in the locker room. All you need is a quality coach to push them to the next level but the worrying part is that Vidal and Perisic are out, Dzeko won't have much of an effect next season and Handanovic is also probably retiring if we opt for a replacement. Not that many teams have this nowadays and we should realize it eventually. You don't need 8 or 11 or 15 leaders, but having more than a handful helps. You need a couple of great players (one in midfield and one in attack) and several soldiers (like D'Ambrosio, Darmian, Dimarco and upgrades over Gagliardini, Vecino and Sensi) and you're immediately a CL contender.

This is so spot on and why the shit posting about lukaku scoring "useless" goals made zero sense.

Clearly those didn't appreciate the Milan derby as a big game, since Lukaku scored 5 on them in 5 games.

A shitty 0 0 match is what I call.

You were far from it, it was quite spectacular and we could have easily lost it.

+1, maybe he needs to sit on the bench to wake the fuck up. Corea deserves to start more than Martinez right now.

Unfortunately predicted that Martinez won`t help too much. But missing a penalty is something that can damage the whole team, not just the result. Now I understand why he went to Hakan and asked him to take it...

We seemed in control most of the game, so frustrating that so many chances have been missed... No Theo no starting goalkeeper and still we could not win.

Inzaghi did his subs too late, I mean what`s the point waiting until '76 to get Correa in? Sanchez only at 84'.

Team needs to be more ruthless and finish off games.
