Samir Handanovic

[Sawyer]

This. It's incredible D'Ambrosio has more saves than Handanovic this season. We have played 3 games and he has yet to make a save.

Candreva's cross not considered a save?

It wasn't on target. Ball would just go sideways. Handa blocked it just to be safe.

ok.

It wasn't on target. Ball would just go sideways. Handa blocked fumbled it just to be safe.

FTFY

(just a bit of a joke, relax people)

 

[Candreva Crosses]

Well itachi, i hope he retires before he will turn himself to a total clown, im sure all inter fans want remember him as top tier gk and not as handicap gk that cant jump for air balls or jump aside, unfortunately not only he does idiotic mistakes, its like every shot to goal sides is potentially goal we can concede..

Even if he turn himself into a clown it won't change his past. Are you guys mentally challenged or something?

Reminds me of the catcher from Major League.

We all watching Roma’s Rui Patrício’s performance against Sassoulu and thinking how different yesterday’s Sampdoria match result would have been different if Handanovic wasn’t past it.

 

[crzdcolombian]

You guys just find someone to hate weekly. Handa is the funniest since a week later everyone’s like omg this guy is god!!!

Guy is def better than Muso which would have been us burning money.

in December 2 pretty good keepers are available for free wonder which we will get. Even then Doubt we have money to buy a keeper in the winter.

he is our starter till next season unless Radu plays out of his mind and gets a shot in champions league or copa Italia

This thread has turned into one of the FIF lows.

It's as if whenever people comment here they forget that they're not playing on their video games.

Yeah, this hate for one player is almost like incredible, specially as it's our captain.

Well, having the Inter captaincy doesn't save anyone from being picked on or hated on. Not only Icardi and Ranocchia before Handanovic, but even Javier freaking Zanetti was called out a lot here for random (non)reasons.

With Lukaku gone and Gagsi, Vecino and Vidal on the bench, someone had to take the negative emotions

Why should the captaincy exonerate anyone from criticism? The criticism needs to be looked at in a case-by-case basis too.

At the end of the day, there's only so much you can change a player. I remember people criticising Zanetti for not "doing enough" (and Cambiasso for being a "traffic cop" and only pointing). But those particular criticisms were misplaced. Zanetti was never some Modric-like midfielder, he wasn't even a fucking midfielder by trade. People expecting him, or Cambiasso, to start pinging the ball around and make plays were obviously misplacing their frustration in our stagnant Stramaccioni football.

Likewise the criticism of Icardi of being too static is one thing - because he is what he is. But I think it's more than fair to question whether we were better off replacing him with a more involved and functional forward, and fair to criticise his captaincy - and his classless whore of a wife.

You'll go to extraordinary lengths to blame, no, even worse actually, take credit away, from the likes of Marotta, Conte and Lukaku, all of whom I've also heavily criticised too. But you'll go to equally extraordinary lengths to exonerate Handanovic for every thing he does. It's incredible.

Even if you take the "questionable" or "debatable" errors out of the equation, you're left with the undeniable fact that his inexplicable, unforced errors (where there is no possible culprit other than Handanovic) have increased significantly.

I suppose Handanovic passing it straight to a Verona player was Brozovic's fault. Or last season at the same ground when he dropped the ball at Skriniar's feet from a completely innocuous cross, that was Skriniar's fault too.

Handanovic is donezo like funzo. Half the time these days dude won't even stick out a hand by 20cm to save a perfectly saveable shot. His instincts seem to be fried. Or perhaps his body can no longer follow or obey that instinct.

It's very strange to see Handanovic being treated like the biggest source of trouble in the team. maybe he's having a tough time or has dropped in quality but Handanovic can never be claimed as a major factor in our poor result. he has contributed so much, made so many great saves in so many games. I mean the positive aspects he produces far outweigh the mistakes he makes.

his commitment to Inter, his income that is not burdensome financially, and his much more stable performance than a number of minor errors are the reasons why the excessive criticism of Handanovic feels odd and illogical in this thread.

 

[.h.]

great saves in great games doesnt mean errors in bad games arent errors.

You need to look at him as a whole entity, and decide for yourself if his great saves in the last 12 months offset his errors in the last 12 months. But please dont somehow act like the history of good contribution offsets current bad form. It does only if you think he'll recover from the bad form.

People change and players change. They 'lose it', they lose their confidence, they get too old, whatever it might be. No one is taking away the great things Handanovic has done for Inter - simply highlighting that it might be time to replace him.

Come on man, how you can call his errors "minor"?! His errors cost us at conceding goals, you can look in last seasons also, this kind of errors are lower the defenders confidence too, so "minor" is really not the right word to use here, no one doubts his commitment to inter, but people need stop being blind, i like him too, in the last 2-3 seasons he have massive decline in his reflexes and his decisions making..
Look the game against samp, 2 shots at our target and at both of them he was at statue mode, samp didnt do shit except this 2 shots, so basically handa was there only to help our great build up play at back..

what you said about seeing Handa as the whole entity is exactly my argument. i dont disagree with fair and objective criticism here. i just cant get the excessive blame on him. he might cost us some points but he doesnt cost us championship. last year maybe he was not great but we are kidding ourselves that without Handa we could have kept rather stable defense and some nice counter attacks. and if we see the bigger picture namely his tenure at Inter then Handa is one our best player for a long time.

 

[brehme1989]

Everyone can blame Handanovic for the Verona hiccup.

No one in their right mind should blame him for either Sampdoria goal. Just because they didn't have another go doesn't suddenly mean that he should be expected to perform miracles.

@.h. you'd be right if you said last 6 (active) months. In the last 12 calendar months, Handanovic won us a Scudetto with +4 vital points over Napoli and Atalanta that came out of nowhere. And a bunch of other significant moments that added to the tally and gained momentum for the entire squad.

He's not going to survive the next couple of seasons even if he's at his current level, no one expects that. What we expect is less paranormal expectations from him, because he gets crucified for not being superman here. He's still a top 10 GK worldwide.
