Got absolutely everything wrong. Asllani is horrendous. He is unplayable vs any non bottom table team. I might get it if we're 3-0 up in the second half, but not at 0-0 in the first half. Barella shouldve been slotted into holding and Z come up for RCM. Fail. Next, You take out the anchor to the defense in SDV, and move Bastoni who never plays there, to that role. Fail. Next, you take out the best player in the team in Barella for Frattesi who is useless as a midfielder when you have the worst player in the team, Asllani, behind him. Fail. This was Pep in a final levels of overthinking. Football can be complex but sometimes, you have to understand you have to field your best players. Milan have match winners on their team. That means they can score at any time from single handed brilliance. And thats exactly what happened. I'd give him a -5/10 performance for today as he clearly learned little from the last time Milan beat us.

He learned absolute nothing from last defeat.

I think it’s time to go to bed reading the comments. What’s that he should have done? Preserve Hakan from injury? Score the shitloads of chances we had? Tell our players to not get carded left and right when playing the paciest team of the league? Did you guys count how many clear cut chances we fumbled?

Sure Asllani got fouled before the first goal, but the tackling by Mkhitariyan should never happen in that area, that’s not the coach on the pitch that decides.
He didn’t decide to have both Dumfries and Bisseck run up the pitch at 2:1 to leave space for Theo to cross it in for Pulisic. He didn’t decide to let Leao walk through towards the end of the game.

A coach does give the players the system, but part of having experienced players is having them decide in certain situations. Ours were not able to stay cool enough and composed enough against a Milan side that simply wanted it more. It’s as easy as that in a final.

to be fair, he could have kept barella on and risked him getting a red card, instead of being so cautious about double bookings as he is, for one.

I don’t think so. In fact I’d go further and say that 90% of the guys calling him out right now would have called him a genius for putting in Frattesi if dude took his chance in front of the goal.

Barella was fantastic, but was pretty close to a red card which would’ve cost us the match 100%.

its not the first time inzaghi's adversion to having players on a booking stay on the pitch has cost us, tbf. he needs to accept his players are grown adults and that, while there is a risk of a second yellow card, we need to trust adults to try to manage that risk for themselves

But you can see rosso for Barella miles away tbf. What I didn’t like from him today is Asllani instead of Zielinski for Hakan. It could make a bit better because I didn’t see intensity and drive from all six midfielders. Or missing Thuram causing that, they’re overloaded by Milan.

I just come here to see stupid people having meltdowns while not understanding the real underlying reasons and shit on Inzaghi.

Like if the subs are the problem, then there aren't even any players to rotate or use, blaming Asllani is hilarious, he came in at 0-0 not 2-0 and lost to 2-3.

If you ask me the results is more on a weak transfer summer other than anything else, with that said, the most direct impact of this match was the non call fouled on Asllani, and the wasteful finishing.

Cause the game could have been killed before Milan can fight back.

The only truly mind-boggling one for me is taking De Vrij out when he was doing a decent job keeping the defense together.
He was injured, De Vrij felt something, so Inzaghi subbed him out. I don't think he really had a choice.

All in all, everything that could've gone wrong, did. Let's just hope De Vrij, Thuram and Hakan will be okay soon.

Well there you go, that one is also explained. You can argue that Barella should never be subbed out, but even I felt he was heading straight into a red card yesterday.

Sure, we were not good, but like you say, everything just lined up for Milan and not for us yesterday.

Seems like not much have changed since I stopped following Inter closely. He didn't learn and he will never learn from his mistakes. If thrashing shit teams with high margin scores is all we need, then yeah, Inzaghi is just perfect for that role. But when it comes to really decisive games against serious sides, his cowardice will always take over. I didn't watch the game, but let me guess, did we lose because he made coward decisions as he usually does?

I'm going to explain this yellow card sub thing. It's not fear of "grown adults" not being able to handle the situation. Players surely understand when they have yellow to not make reckless challenges. But that's precisely the point. When you have the yellow, you cannot do the reckless challenge. Player without the yellow can still do it and it might make the difference at the latter stages of the match.

And obviously, on top of the lack of yellow-deserving-challenge on your sleeve, our midfielders are usually toasts at the end of the matches. Can't make many sprints anymore, tracking the ball carrier is slower etc etc.

But besides that, obviously Inzaghi is responsible for the loss too. We again made the mistake of exposing ourselves to counters when we were leading.

I get that argument, but I've never seen a coach so keen to sub on a player on a yellow card as Inzaghi. We cant deny that? Mourinho, Mancini, Conte, etc, never did it to this level

Not substituting Darmian in for Bisseck was a bigger factor than Asllani's influence in midfield IMO.

Darmian knows how to handle these situations, and he managed to shut Leao down many times. He's tactically great, and has experience of course. We were still leading 2-0 with Asllani in the pitch, so the issues were quite obvious even that his poor positioning caught us off guard.

Leao was having a cakewalk on our right flank. The team needed a spark on defensive side, someone like Darmian to get things together and prevent conceding chances that easy.

Bisseck isn't faultless. No doubt he had great impact lately, but you cannot underestimate Leao on his best day. The latter took a full advantage of our incompetence, especially in our right flank.

Last goal is all on Asllani, but they were getting chances so easily, whether it was an issue from midfield or defence.

He has btw kept Dumfries on at least few times this season already on a yellow (including yesterday).
