I just finished watching the match in replay and I don't understand why some fifers claim we didn't deserve 3 points. What is it? Excessive sportsmanship? Unnecessary gentlemanism? Only Inter fans disdain this kind of victories where players give their heart out to win. Bravo Samir, he did the maximum possible in that occasion to correct the mistake of De Vrij and there was no foul. By the way, De Vrij's display in the 1st half was probably his worst performance in Inter jersey, I counted 4 similar blunders from him, luckily for us non of them led to a worse scenario.

Dzeko easily man of the match.
Dumfries was defensively sound, and was decent in supporting the attack. Could have performed even better, had players exploited his flank more often.
A truly deserved hard win achieved thanks to a champion character, bravi ragazzi!
Well, until the dzeko goal, we were completely mess, sassuolo players make our players look like bunch of amateurs, we couldn't even reach to thier half and handa save us from concede at least 4 goals at this game, after dzeko goal it was totally different story...

well what did you expect, we were playing against Sassuolo - an Inter's kryptonite of recent years if you forgot. Also we didn't look that toothless as you describe, we had some decent chances in the first half.

Our results against sassuolo in last recent matches are turn to our favor, but still, they very hard team to play against, especially at their stadium, beside that, we had one good chance that barella miss and another half chance for barella also, i dont think that change the fact that sassuolo totally dominated us almost for a hour..

you are overrating their performance while underrating same efforts from Inter players. Also you first said we were not reaching their half which wasn't the case. We were not only reaching their half but also were easily penetrating their penalty box. Their threats came from De Vrij's back passes which he was making horribly and set pieces. If that's a domination I am afraid you will get a heart attack when we play against Napoli.

Because we didn't deserve it really. Even if you dismiss Handanovic-Defrel occasion, the chances for both sides were equal at best. But Sassuolo were robbed because there was a contact between Samir and Defrel. Handanovic actually realized what could happen and tried to move away, but he touched the forward which is enough to be sent out. If this situation happened with opposite sign or let say in favor of Jube, everyone would have been crying that we were robbed and the referees and VAR are corrupted.

Handa was stretching his hands backward and wasn't intending to elbow him. No conscious movement of any part to make a foul. The contact came as a result of Defrel's inertia. Comparing this incident with how rube were robbing whole serie A throughout decades... are you serious

As I've said, Handanovic tried to avoid the contact and most probably this is the reason why the referee and VAR didn't reward a foul. But the fact is that he couldn't do it. Defrel passed him over and could have reached the ball afterwards. Samir touched him enough for a foul and a red card. And please don't twist the narrative. I just gave a particular situation as an example, don't compare a decade robbing.

Intention is an important decision factor, such decisions are always a judgement call. Handa looked like he tried his best to avoid contact. Infact it seemed like Defrel was looking for the contact. It wasn't a red, even after looking at replays in slo-mo. But perhaps it was still a foul, maybe even a yellow depending on the referee's interpretation.

Yeah, I was 100% expecting at least a yellow. Defrel is a moron, he basically launched himself at Handa instead of just trying to dribble him.

Please don't. This idiot plays well to get him a starting place at CL and then ridicules himself and our team during the cl game.
honestly i don't care that much about CL as long we would win again the league. What would piss me off is doing bad at both competitions and after that's why i was mad after the first half against Sassuolo. Destroying Scudetto chances afte already making it difficult in CL would be a disaster, considering we are only at October.

For me it's never a foul. Lautaro or Barella, don't remember who exactly, fell down in their penalty box in the first half. There were contacts too but they weren't intentional. So was Samir's.

Sorry about "twisting the narrative" but I think you shouldn't have mentioned rubentus name in the first place. Because this incident is nowhere near what rube has been accussed for. If Defrel was wearing rubentus jersey then yeah, the ref would have shown a red card and probably pointed at the spot as an extra bonus for them

The Ref was right at the Handa-Defrel contact, many "experts" are confirming it too. Honestly i was sure that it was a red card. But anyway, it still need to be said that De Vrij made a big mistake there and the defence was crap for almost the whole game. We really need to improve before were getting destroyed from some top team. Sassuolo isn't good this year, this was just sad they still could make us so much problems.

At least second half was much better. And slowly im starting to think that some of the players that went off (Chala, Dumfries, Correa) are maybe A. Not good (Hakan...), B. need to improve defensive (Dumfries) or C. can't play without a true striker (Correa. Lautaro needs to improve as main striker, they both need a number 9 at their side...)
I also like the Perisic-Di Marco combo. Don't know how it would look like against a good team, but they can both defend and both giving something in the offensive. Vidal made also a big diffrence, much better then Chala who was again invisible.

Guys, stop saying top teams will "destroy" us. Real Madrid is probably stronger than every Serie A club and we were the better team against them and was unlucky and wasteful to not get the 3 points against them. Every match has its own story. Inter and Inzaghi are not gonna stand around with their dicks in their hands while some top team running a hurricane on us!

yeah but im talking about our recent form. Against Shaktar and the first half of Sassuolo we were ridiciolous. If we hold this perfomance is gonna be hard

after this game we can say that our third midfielder is Vidal... he's doing really good, now and befores he's injury. Sadly it's not he's last injury and we don't have alternatives. You can forget about Chala Vecino and Gagliardini, theyre simply not good enough for a top team....

You forgot about Sensi but who can blame you
