Parma - Inter (10 Feb 10)

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

he wasnt that bad

can somebody sum up Mariga's performance today. didnt get to watch the whole game due to bad streams. and i agree with most of the post here about the midfield, it really worries me for Chelsea game

Confident and Dominent... Hit a sweet half volley which really tested the keeper.

yea, what I noticed from Mariga was he won a few good tackles retrieving possession, had a half volley type shot that forced the Parma keeper to dive and knock it out for a corner, and sent a great long pass to Balotelli into the box who tried to volley it first time but messed it up. I didn't notice Mariga giving possession away. he looked fairly relaxed though, would have been nice to see him be a tiny bit more determined to close down the other team but a good performance

 

[zhfzanetti]

Mariga has already exceed lack-of-form Muntari, IMO

Balo was also impressive!

A frustrating draw it seems but it is still a point gained over our rivals. Good to see Mariga doing well, we really need some midfielder after Motta/Muntari not cutting it. We will bounce back next game.

 

[Inter Inter]

It's not a good point gained. It's 2 points lost. With the quality in our squad, we should have won. Even a 2-1 would be good. Did we get our tactics wrong this time?

 

[InterBigMac]

Good to see Mariga is settling in nicely. he had a good game and so did Balo. Pandev and Milito need a rest soon if we have any chance of beating chelsea, there's no way tired pandev & Milito plus an off-form Etoo are beating chelsea's mean defense.

 

[Vic]

I am not worried about this result, if anything the defence was sloppy specially in the second half. I guess Matrix was injured, also guys do not forget Sneijder was missing! We reach different levels with him.

I knew we would struggle the moment I saw cordoba as lb. Sorry he just doesn't cut it as a lb. We always struggle at tardini so its not horrible to get a point, I did expect more but its not a disaster. Mariga was impressive.

I think Mou inserted Cordoba there to deal with the speedy Biabiany. Thta's according to the report on football-italia.net.

Santon the best player today!

Balotelli second best!

Mariga also good

Pandev was fantastic in the first half!In the second run out of fuel(That should be nothing strange after 6 months...)

Milito ialso tired.I meen i love him but even milito needs rest sometime.

So it was not that bad.Its good that we saw this yhings now not ageinst chelsea.Now we can rest pandev and milito.Give mariga some playing time.And then everybody at 100% kick chelsea out of CL.

FORZA NERAZZURRI

Saw the game at a Sports Bar here. It was a great atmosphere, and I felt like being in a stadium.
Pandev and Milito need to rest. Balotelli saved our day with that goal, Grande Mario . Santon played a really good game!
I'm glad with the draw tbh, we could have lost...

 

[pazzainteramala]

maybe mourinho is using mariga to wake up motta and muntari to fight for the spot and play better

 

[QvsQ]

maybe mourinho is using mariga to wake up motta and muntari to fight for the spot and play better

Or maybe to replace them both
Still +9 points

Filikaqa?

The game after the red card was dreadfull. Most of the blame goes to Parma, as obviously it suited them playing man down, but we also didn't do much to take advantage of that.

Rather than playing quick, we should slow the tempo down, focus on making passes accurate, and take advantage of the fact, that they couldn't cover the whole pitch as well as with 11 men.

Matrix injury was ofcourse a pity and had some hand in this, but we did play some minutes before that happen with a man advantage.

Going back to Matrix, I think he did more bad than good over there, if we speak tacticly. He stayed in the position on the field, that is vital for us, and instead of having someone who should take the ball, spread it around a little, Matrix just lost the ball over and over again.

Having said that, big applause to Matrix playing with the injury!!!

Also I haven't notice before how much Cafe got old lately. When Biabiany was sprinting past him in the first half I was just astouned, as I don't remember something like this happening.

Cafe lost one of his biggest advantages - that is speed. I'm now more than certain, that if someone will leave Inter from the deffenders, it will be Cafe.

Filikaqa?

Yeah, you were there too?

 

[Pico32]

The best moment in the match when we conceded and Mourinho called Santon and Balotelli, and when they were going to go on the pitch, I had a good feeling and I was proud of Inter too, two young club trained players were going to enter the field to change the result of the match and the fact that they did make me lose anything bad about the match.

 

[Xoonky]

Nope, but i go there in derbies, or when i have power-cuts disabling me from watching matches at home. I was there for the matches against Juve, Roma and Milan.
