Simone Inzaghi

[Il Drago]

It will be interesting to see what Inzaghi is going to do now that Brozovic is back? Returning to previous status quo of Brozovic regista and Hakan mezzala? Sticking with Hakan as a regista and Brozovic in a more advanced role?

Whatever he chooses to go for, at least we won't have to see Mkhi starting every single game.

bench Calhanoglu and still play Micky.

This might be true.
Inzaghi won the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana in his debut campaign after replacing Antonio Conte and fought to the end with Milan for the Scudetto.
Unlike Conte, Inzaghi has been able to twice qualify for the Champions League Round of 16 and the upcoming clash is with FC Porto.

Inzaghi’s record on the Inter bench is of 54 victories, 13 draws and only 15 defeats, his team scoring 164 goals and conceding 78.
In comparison, Conte oversaw 65 wins, 23 draws and 15 defeats, scoring 214 goals and conceding 102.

I personally think Inzaghi deserves better funding to put his ideas into practice. I can imagine him winning Scudettos with the kind of funding Mancini and Conte have enjoyed. Given the recent transfer campaigns AND key players injury, I think he is doing an acceptable job.

» What I don`t like:

• playing Gagliardinho ahead of Asllani. G5 has no future in this club
• lack of consistency in preparing league matches: (fuckups like the one against Empoli) where players did not feel the pressure and were not driven enough. They need to have a 2 goals lead before relaxing like that. This costed us last year`s Scudetto and seems that we`ll have the same result this season
• rotation: not playing enough certain valuable players, like Gosens. This costs us in the long run (championship)
• Correa obsession: the fact that he wanted him puts him on a dangerous cycle where he keeps playing hopingt that Correa gains confidence/form/justifies his value. Obviously this will never happen at Inter
• not developing players/helping them reach top form: we could all witness the Conte + Pintus effect on certain players. How many players levels have been elevated by Inzaghi and his staff? I can only think of DiMarco, all the rest seem to have regressed
• young players: not much playtime, but we could argue that we have a very limited number of talented young players in the current squad. Just like you, I would rather prefer we allow 10-15 minutes for likes of Carboni instead of Gagliardinho - especially when we are leading, as we are already out of the Scudetto race

Last season, Inzaghi tried to rotate the squad and would make his subs early. After the loss to Milan, he was criticized for taking off Perisic and Hakan around the 60-65th minute ( can’t recall exactly. He changed this policy, after what appears to be some internal criticism. See Hakan’s comments regarding his substitution, where h publicly mentioned this.

Also, after internal criticism, and the media, he also changed his policy regarding subbing off players on a yellow. What’s funny is that if he followed through with his way, Skriniar’s would have been subbed and that loss to Empoli would likely not have materialized.

 

[CafeCordoba]

What? Skriniar got his double yellow in the first half. He hasn't been taking players off in first halves apart from Udinese match which was about getting a reaction than because they had yellows (surely picked those guys who had yellows but it wasn't the reason)

I don’t think Inzaghi really had or has a rule that a player on yellow should be subbed off. I think he tries to play it by ear but this was incorrectly interpreted as a blanket policy.

Now I think he thinks twice about it because he probably received criticism for it.

In this way he is the opposite of Conte, who suffers from being too stubborn in his ways. Inzaghi is maybe too open to change.

Inzaghi has said countless times he has taken off players because they got yellow cards.

Acerbi even said recently he had to convince his coach to leave him on the pitch after getting a yellow.

In an interview with Italian television broadcaster DAZN after the match, and as reported by FCInterNews.it, Acerbi admitted that he had to speak to Inzaghi and reassure him that he would remain disciplined, with the coach deciding to leave his defender on for the remainder of the game.

“He’s afraid of being left with 10 men due to those random chances that happen on the pitch. Today I didn’t know if he’d take me off or throw me down, but I told him to stay calm,” the Italy international claimed.

“A defender’s skill is knowing how to play with the yellow card. Attention is the main quality of a defender, with a yellow card you usually play with more care.”

I read this morning that Inter recently held talks with Diego Simeone as a replacement for Inzaghi in the Summer.

I can't see it happening though due to Simeone's wages and the fact that he would in all likelihood not be keen on building a free agent team.

Didn't he also say right after Empoli game that Skriniar's case was exactly why he takes off players after their first yellow?

Nah. I thought so as well but it was just a FIF argument.

The only thing he said was he never had a player getting two yellows so fast.

True.. I think we are in the right direction with him as a coach..

To fix our problem.. got to start with the owner's pocket (Zhang is a decent owner, problem is his pocket when COVID hits).. I don't mind he stays if he gets his pocket fix (very unlikely tho) else we need a similar owner with a bigger budget.. coz inter, in fact 70%-80% of top clubs are not making money..

For me Inzaghi's coaching team is on a good path to be like Arsene Wenger.. if he can fix his petty² issues like what you stated.. I think he can be Alex Ferguson if given the time and chances..

Wack me

 

[Jane The Virgin]

The manager embodiment of Nagashit.

 

[OkiOki]

I really don't think coach could do anything tonight. We have more then enough chances, but simply we don't have players who can finish the action with the goal.

 

[rfU]

20+ shots. The coach isn't the problem.

he had 8 days to figure out how to beat the 19th team in the league and he failed

also that was some weird defensive trio and even though they weren't problem by themselves, dropping Bastoni who offers something in attack doesn't make sense

 

[Harpsabu]

If we lose against Porto his time here should be over come the summer

 

[kurt0411]

How is the manager not at fault? We are the only team in the world that makes substitutions and the team plays worse after. And no it’s not a one off thing, it’s constant. He can’t read a game to save his life.

Taking off Lukaku and Barella with the way both of them were playing is criminal. Lautaro and Calha were completely off it from the get go, it’s obvious to see to everybody but this moron.

The issue with him is that he pre plans the game in his head and has all the subs already planned before a ball is kicked. It’s the only possible explanation for the constant nonsense we see. If we’re happy with getting out of the CL group and winning a cup every year then keep keeping going with him. If you want to win a league title then get rid because this guy won’t win the French league with PSG. He’ll fail to win the Bundelsiga with Bayern. Heck he wouldn’t win this league if you gave him a 20 point advantage

I'd like to agree but we can't afford anyone better AND no one will want to come work in these conditions.

I don't understand him, at all. No Dimarco OR Bastoni against a team where we'll have the ball for 95% of the game? Barella off instead of Mkhi? Lukaku off for Dzeko instead of taking a CB off? It's idiot AND cowardly coaching, all at once.

...and YET, I blame mostly the players. They're petulant morons who need a sergeant type to kick their ass, and if you constantly need that level of input to motivate yourself then maybe you're just not that good of a football player. To be honest, Top 4, Supercup, a CL run and a Coppa Italia is going to start looking like a miracle considering the situation he's in.

(Goes without saying that this is primarily Suning's fault, all of my posts carry that sentiment)

 

[ADRossi]

He better win the Coppa.

 

[Il Drago]

He better win the Coppa.

I care more about CL which brings prestige and money to the club. We have a golden chance to reach at least quarterfinals this year. He better deliver. Only way to save the season.

Well of course. But it's gotta be both.
