Simone Inzaghi

[Helenio Herrera]

That Porto tie is very important now

As is that Juventus matchup in the Coppa

 

[Helenio Herrera]

Getting top four, giving us exciting CL games and avoiding embarrassing results in the Coppa would easily give him another season, as it should. He should find ways to either motivate or replace his players though, or he won't survive the next season.

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

His inability to keep the team sharp is my only real gripe with him. He sets up the games well enough, the real problem is the constant and inevitable drop in focus and composure we experience on a consistent basis. I’m afraid that’s a thing that’s not so easily changed.

People are critiquing Players , yet they forget that two years ago we had
A winning coach called Conte
A defence with Skrinar dvrij bastonj
Midfield Hakimi barella Broz Eriksen Perisic
Att Lukaku Peak and Lautaro
Bench: SANCHEZ, VIDAL , ASHLEY YOUNG,DDA PEAK,
And Zhang investing
This year we have Acerbi,mikhitarian,Correa,LukakuFat,Inzaghi,
No hakimi,perisic,Sanchez,eriksen,lukakuPeak,dvrij anddddd CONTE


yet we arent satisfied with 2nd place
Strange

What kills me about Inzaghi is he is very close to being a top level manager. However his ability to motivate and inspire his players is virtually non existent.

He is tactically a phenomenal coach. Very rarely do we play a game where we’re vastly outplayed. However holy shit when we aren’t vs a top side and he actually has to fire the squad up he is atrocious.

Conte was an absolute master at man motivation. Players treated a game vs Cagliari like a derby. With Inzaghi you can physically see the lack of fire and frustration vs lower teams. I still have faith in him to win us the Coppa and potentially reach the QF of UCL. Hopefully he does.

If we miss top 4, he has to leave.

We are lucky that our rivals are worse than us. But in an extreme scenario of us missing out on Champions League football for next season, eventually sacking him would mean that we would bring in even a worse coach.

The only positive scenario which I could predict is that we try to remain competitive under Limone and escape out of this mess with a new ownership, and if Limone fails to deliver at expected results with the eventual new ownership that is willing to take Inter back to success, then we bring in a better coach meanwhile we are still a team that plays in CL.

This is the main reason to sack him if he misses top 4. Our rivals have worse squads than us.

Are you sure we have better squad than the rest ?

Yes. Jube maybe have better, but they are so behind, and this should be fair enough to compensate. Milan have like 3 players, who made their play, Theo, Girou and Leao + sometimes Tonali and Bennacer. Lazio and Roma are worse no doubt about it. And on the top of that, we need to get one of 3 spots to do it. There are no excuses if he fails.

I think we were plenty fired up in the first half last night. And generally we start the games with the right mindset, even against smaller clubs. The problem is the half time break, by that time the opponents have warmed up and the impression factor of facing a big club has disappeared plus they are employing a contingency plan for whatever we are doing. That's when Simone shits the bed, he doesn't adjust well on the fly, and of course like you said, he doesn't motivate the squad at that point at all. And this is not something you can change, you can't fake charisma and character. He is one of the boys instead of someone the players will yearn to impress like with Conte.

I feel like he has a very "fire and forget" approach to his management style. What he does up to the game start is what we'll get, then during the game itself its all up to the players.

The amount of poor crosses or cross attempts last night reminded me of prime "Spalletti Out" time during his time at Inter. Completely lacking any idea what to do other than cross cross cross.

 

[vex]

I don't know about that. I think overall that's his biggest issue. His starting setup is more often than not good enough, as you have said very rarely we get outplayed, but devil is in the details and often times we don't have one more higher gear to go cos we always start in the highest possible one.

And we have seen it last night, players instinctively know if we don't score at the early stages we will slowly but surely lose momentum, hence the frustration and arm flapping. It's one speed, one setup and if it doesn't work or the opposition coach changes something we regularly get in trouble. There is very little sophistication there, you have one solid and on the eye good-looking setup which has close to zero depth and variation to challenge for a league title and maintain a certain level of continuity.

Sadly he might be fired even if he reaches the top4. I really feel for the dude, on one hand his teams drop in form throughout the season, but he also does quite well in cup tournaments.
Hopefully his Inter wakes up and finishes the season on a high, because I'd like to see one more full year of Inzaghi, at least.

It does not matter who is coaching us when our owners are paupers.

As a club, Inter have done as well as they can hope for under Zhang's ownership.

We should not be satisfied with winning the Coppa Italia or the Super Copa but that is about as good as it is going to get until the club is sold. We have reached our ceiling and no self-respecting quality coach woud agree to coach Inter while the Zhangs are still owners.

 

[bubba zanetti]

I was suporting him, even after losing scudetto to Pioli. But no more, he had enough time to get to know his players, their abilities and how good/bad they fit in his Limoneball. When you put three slowest cbs with similiar characteristics in first 11 than my friend you are a fkn cowardish chickenshit fraud. It all starts from defence. Only two players improved under Limone:Hakan(and that was pure coincidence cause if Brozo stayed fit we would never see Hakan in that role) and mediocre trash Dimarco. All others decline. He needs to get big BIG result in CL to deserves staying here. Fuck him and fkn Coppa.

 

[DARi0]

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.

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

No balls to "raise the bet" and get the ball into the net! No plan B, no other formation or alternative tactic(s).
Players are out of form and not sharp enough. Is it not his team of coaches that train and motivate them? He lost any hope for this season by wasting the pre-season and we all saw how he started the campaign. This Lazio mentality of winning a couple of games is simply not enough at Inter.

What should be a motivating, morale-boosting win to build upon, instead becomes a routine marker for an upcoming predictable capitulation. The only conclusion that can possibly be drawn from this is that the players themselves are simply just cunts while Limone himself can not motivate them to approach the small games with the necessary effort.

This seems to be what Curva Nord also think:

INTER ULTRAS BLAME INZAGHI AFTER SAMPDORIA DRAW

Inter‘s Curva Nord ultras blamed coach Simone Inzaghi after Monday’s 0-0 draw against strugglers Sampdoria: ‘He doesn’t motivate the team.’

The Nerazzurri are 15 points below table leaders Napoli and only three above Milan who sit fifth on goal difference. Ultras reacted to the draw at Marassi with a statement published on Instagram where they blamed the Italian tactician.

“The dull draw against the second-last in the table once again proves that Mr Inzaghi is not able to motivate his players against ‘small’ teams,” the statement reads.

“We saw a small team mentality, especially in the second half when he stuck to his system rather than playing with three strikers. We are Inter; opponents should fear us.

“We should be aggressive and demonstrate superiority. On the other hand, we look like a small team who are happy with a draw. We wasted three vital points and three teams are ready to catch us after the next misstep.”

Inzaghi needs to change his approach towards the players if he wants to continue at this club.

I think all of FIF agrees that Inzaghi is not a world class coach and couldn't motivate a drowning man into a life raft. Inzaghi has his limits as predetermined by his personality, he's not going to change to Conte or Simeone over night so that is a pointless discussion.

For me he did enough to win last night, whether or not bastoni played instead of Acerbi or if DiMarco started instead of Gosens is besides the point. We had ample opportunity to score. According to FIF these are world class players, most of who trained under a wining coach. The blame should lie with them primarily. Players like Lukaku, our marquee player, who has managed 1 goal in 10 games and some how Inzaghi is the sole problem. Guys need to get it into their heads, no coach is perfect. The players need to be relied on when the coach comes up short.

For as long as I've been an inter fan we've always had players to carry us through difficult moments: Milito, ibra, R9, Vieri, Adriano, Lukaku, Sneijder, etc. Someone who the manager could turn to for a solution. With this squad, who is that player?

Darmian. And that just shows you how shit we are.

 

[IM21]

he's just like Conte. A man that has no plan B, and his plan A is worse than Conte's. Retard should have left Skriniar/De Vrij out at the half and put Darmian on that left spot, or switch to back 4 and go with 3 attackers. But, no, lets wait until the 90th minute, to go all out vs fucking Sampdoria.
