Parma - Inter (10 Feb 10)

[Nyall]

haha what's with all the Eto hate, you idiots? If Balotelli was there from the start parma would have found it a LOT easier. their defenders could have jogged around with the ball as much as they like with Balotelli their as he refuses to press the defence. sure Eto's ability to shoot on goal was crap tonight but so was Milito's. apart from Balotelli's stab at goal from a few yards (which eto could have made, just lucky positioning from balotelli) then he wasn't any better than Eto. Parma played good.

also good to see Mariga at least making a pretty good impact. Mariga > Muntari, for now

Finally some sense. You'd think Mario scored a wonder goal or something. Btw, it gets like this everytime we draw a match and Eto'o plays. This same idiot comes here and places the entire blame of us not winning on Eto'o.

Very impressed by Biabany and Jimenz today. To bad Jimenz never could play as good at Inter. Mariga was also good.

Jimenez was great in 07/08 season then wasn't part of Mou's plans in 08/09.
He was always injured and was somehow less preferred to Stankovic as AMF :wallbang:

Gay game, gay result and Matrix is injured too, hopefully nothing serious.

I want to see Santon SHOOT from now on sometimes after one of those long runs..

 

[rockball]

1. 424 is definitely not the way for us.
2. Cuchu-Motta-Zanetti is not the best midfield for us.

 

[thorn]

is it me or anyone noticed that mario has improved his attitude very much..i saw a little smile in his face for the first time in my life on the pitch..hope he keeps improving.santon was great and Mariga did well and got a lot of potential.

anyways as rfU said we cant win all the matches.i am not too dissapointed

 

[AndyLT]

what is the Balotelli hate, you idiot?

thats an offense...

there obviously wasn't any Balotelli hate from me if you read more closely. I said he wasn't any better than Eto. and i was defending Eto so that's impossible to be balotelli hate

 

[CafeCordoba]

Sneijder-dependant, that's what we are. Cagliari-match just disguised that fact since our three-pronged attack was able to deliver against injury/absence-ripped team.

 

[Interista nr.1]

Maicon, Milito, Pandev needs some rest. Eto'o is out of form, he was really never 100% since he joined. But next game he should play from start again, because othe needs rest.
Next game like this;
J.Cesar
J.Z. Lucio Samuel Santon
Stankovic Cambiasso Muntari
Sneider
Balotelli Eto'o

 

[Nyall]

Difference is they had a great season so far [except for Maicon, who was average], while Eto'o didn't. He just keeps dissapointing those who had expectations from him lol.

I liked Mariga and Jimenez. Something was wrong with Cambiasso. Hopefully Eto'o won't start against Napoli. He needs tu pull his shit together.

Great seasons?! WTF! Milito yes. Cambiasso, not really. Pandev has played 5 games so far how has he had a great season? You simply don't like Eto'o no matter what he does. It's not a developed hatred, it's been like this since day one, and you try to spread this hatred with ridiculous points that make yourself appear to others as deluded.

 

[Jnr]

Lavezzi>>>Biabany, Quagliarella>>>Bojinov, HAMSIK>>> Jimenez

Oh my..we had huge trouble dealing with these guys, look whats waiting on Sunday..

The squad needs a breather its obvious..And Sneijder..

Eto'o is one of the best attackers in world football period. He will show why in two weeks time. He takes one for the team by being put as a winger in the 4-3-3. Hes not 100% but still presses up and down the lines more then Pandev or Mario. Eto'o in a diamond midfield playing with Milito is much better then him being on the wing. Mourinho realizes this but we have a lack of midfield without Deki or Sneijder. Eto'o would be ten times more lethal if he actually could play in the middle of the park where Milito is. Eto'o first touch is world class, Milito is a better finisher ahead of Eto'o but Eto'o you know he can produce in the big game that's why hes one of the best stop the hating come on people. Please remmeber when do u see Milito running up and down for most of the game hell do it in spurts but nothing like Samuel.

In my opinion, Mou made a very big mistake in not introducing Mariga for Eto'o right at half-time, Parma were owning us at the middle of the field, they had 5 mids against our 2 and a half (Motta is a half), so they were double teaming on us. Worst thing was when they were down to 10 men, they were STILL owning hte midfield, that is an area to be concerned about, seeing how we will be facing 3 tenacious midfielders against Chelsea, and with this performance, we will lose 0-5.

On individual performances, Maicon was less than average, Milito, Pandev and Eto'o were ZERO, and Motta was MINUS.

Balotelli in my opinion changed the match, and played very well, brilliantly compared to his other performances. He scored a smart goal, he held the ball well, he made a few GREAT passes with vision, and he dribbled with ease, except maybe he could have hit that ball better or at least passed to Milito who had freed himself.
Santon and Mariga were very good also, some good runs and clever positioning.
And Lucio, as always a beast, always fighting...and he saved a 95% goal with that awesomely intelligent header.

Crap match. We had too many strikers who didn't deliver enough. Eto'o is so out of form he can't start a match. Pandev looks clearly tired as he disappeared totally in the second half. Today he wasn't any good as AM, like against crippled Cagliari. We didn't have much possession in the midfield other than in our half, clearly because we had Cambiasso-Zanetti playing there. Today IMO Cambiasso's weaknesses were pretty visible. He is very slow with his reactions.

edit. Mario was also more matured than before, a bit like in Fiorentina match. I'd start Mario over Eto'o in this moment.

:thumbsup:

Milito and Pandev definitely tired in the second half. I was impressed with Mariga - he could become really useful for us. Santon was fantastic when he came on.
We dropped some points, sure, but we can't expect to win every game so I'm not too disappointed with the result.

 

[pazzainteramala]

wow maicon has to stop shooting the ball at the sky...eto has to wake up..inter sometimes seems to wake up only when they need a goal... then go bak to sleep damn

 

[Principe]

Tonight's game was one of the bad ones of this season, Inter should have done much better but a draw today is not that bad and not that decisive.

I'd like to point out some of the things that I noticed from this game that I felt was good about such a match.

1) Lucio seems to still make these crucial mistakes due to his excitement and lack of patients, such as the mistake that led to the goal. He should have stuck to his man and there was no need for him to step up and double team.

2) Santon managed to have a good cross with his left, if he can send those in consistently he'll be a very dangerous LB.

3) Balotelli was cool today and thus became a game changer. All he needs is to mature and be more calm and he'll be world class in no time. I hope Mou can straighten him up. Also in one play he was back in the box defending which I found impressive for Balotelli

4) Mariga has some great vision and is fast and physical, his attributes is definitely better than what we currently have in Motta and Muntari.

5) Pandev and Milito should be rested simultaneously before Chelsea.

pandev's magic is wearing off

balotelli had a great game, his dribbles were brilliant and his goal was well taken under pressure, him and mariga should definitely start the next game and we should also give milito or pandev a rest

 

[Hammoudi]

Santon's performance was the highlight of the match for me, he should start consistently on the left now, a brilliant appearance by him.

 

[deni reloaded]

pandev's magic is wearing off

balotelli had a great game, his dribbles were brilliant and his goal was well taken under pressure, him and mariga should definitely start the next game and we should also give milito or pandev a rest

I wouldnt say that after one mediocre half ... First half he was by far the best player on the pitch

 

[InterBoy10]

so Difficult this game and one point not so bad ...!!

- Inter was tired ..72 Hours from last match

- I do not know why x inter players when faced with us playing supernatural ..??
just like Biabany and Jimenez..!??? why the don't play just like this be4

- Milito & Eto'o fucked

- Must return Dejan with sneijder to the soo fukiing difficult napoli match

 

[Principe]

It's not that his magic is wearing off, he's just tired from playing a number of games in a row. Keep in mind that he's a player who hasn't played a match and was training on his own for almost 20 weeks. He walks into a team and has been working his butt off since day 1, he needs to rest a bit his body just wasn't ready for such a jump in fitness it'll take some more weeks till he's 100% like I said both him and Milito are mainly suffering from a lack of rest they need to be rested in the upcoming week in order to be fully fit for the Chelsea game which is our top priority now.

 

[Fitzy]

Mourinho thinks it was a fair result... I have to agree with him.
