So the world assumes he's a top 6 GK but FIF is adamant that he's bottom 5 in Serie A.

That last goal was peak Handanovic. He starts to jump, then decides "nah, why bother" and stops halfway through. Then he stands still and watches the ball go in 10 cm away from him.

remember kids, its always handa's fault. Inter twitter says so, so it must be true... God forbid someone blame our 3 defenders that have been dog shit all season long.

if only he could have covered the rebound...different ending perhaps. Still plenty of finger pointing around for this one, a total team loss.

It's obvious that Handanovic isn't the sole culprit when we concede. The point is that, when Felipe Anderson scored, he should have pushed the ball anywhere other than at his feet (he did the same thing in the first half and we were bailed out by Skriniar). When SMS scored, he should have jumped, instead of not bothering. He doesn't do the things a keeper should do, and he makes these mistakes constantly.

Lol did you see how Felipe was all alone behind 4 of our guys and how Brozovic didn't even realize he was there? The GKs job is to stop goals, he did that. It's not his job to stop the rebound from going to an opponent, the chances for directing a parry where you want are rather low.

If you think this is 10cm, I don't want to know what you tell girls about your size... Just hope you're not consistent with your measurements.

I think this goal shows that Inter players lost the plot chasing to yell at the Lazio player not putting the ball out of play rather than playing to a whistle or what not.

Like I said, but it's really so obvious that it goes without saying, Handanovic isn't the only one responsible when we concede a goal. But he is responsible, lately more often than not.

Yeah I think the players were caught by surprise when the Lazio players kept on playing. Hence the poor covering and heated reactions happened afterwards.

Not professional, but that's how I see it from the reactions.

Hey Cap what’s up?

This is your last year as Inter captain and GK starter, can you please try and perform well vs these cunts for a change? You’ve always been our weakest link in the Derby D’Italia, you’ve always performed really shitty in this game, so how about you become a champion just once in this derby for a change cap? One more good thing to remember you with bud.

I do not want shit on Handanovic. I am grateful for him and everything he has done for us, especially in our darkest moments.

But the fact of the matter is that if you are sitting in your loungeroom as a supporter, watching a game and you are fearful each time the ball goes into the box, then there is something wrong. And that is without even mentioning the ping-pong ball dangerously bouncing around in the box.

Obviously, there are other relevant considerations, for example, the fact that he is our Captain, his years of service, his experience, the possible lack of a successor, and Inzaghi's reluctance to change him.

However, I feel it is a very simple test that translates into a pretty easy question: Does he give confidence to his team and teammates?

I feel the standard, in terms of what is expected, varies between the public and those that are outside of the club such as supporters and football commentators and those on the inside like Handanovic's teammates and the coach.

There is an obvious problem but I do not think action will be taken between now and the end of the season as it will undermine his coinfidence and perhaps render him useless in the even Radu was to come in and perform poorly.

Ultimately, we are going to have live with Handanovic in the starting eleven until the end of the season.
