I don't know, people that keep saying our squad is so much better and we are doing so bad and in regard, which team's position would you rather be in?

Napoli? No CL? And leading only 3 points in the league and just abandoned Copa (such good sportsmanship)

JUBE spent crazy and draw most games? CL not too 8?
BBilan? Look at the table? Also CL not too 8?
ATA? Buy cheap young players and never win anything?

I don't know exactly which team you want to trade our position with.

Not to mention, how much new elements were we able to introduce this season? Cause we spent so much on the transfer?

Keep saying we have the highest wage on the team, yea Correa, Arna, Taremi, Frattesi all have high wages we know, but you guys choose to shit on the low wage Asllani LMAO.

I didn't get to watch the game yet though, so Inzaghi might fuck something up, I don't know, but evaluating the season position this moment and go Mayhem for what we have, seems retarded.
Even your first sentence makes no sense. Why does unhappy with team performance have anything to do with swapping teams position?

It's like asking us, Vietnamese, to compare our footballing situation with Thailand or Singapore and be content with what we have (?!?) Reality is all suck; must aim higher than Sea Games to win anything significantly.

Inter aim should be dominate Serie A for a while and come closer to the real powerhouses, not only targeting Napoli or Jube or Milan or Atalanta. Serie A hasn't won CL for 15 years, and still far there.

The focus shouldn't just be on depth and quality but also on mentality. Too often this season, I've seen Inter play without the drive or belief to win.
My personal opinion (it's just a feeling, I know nothing) is that Inzaghi is a great manager, but he might be too easy on this team. You can see it during games when the going gets tough, the team misses grit and determination. Inzaghi needs to find a better balance between being a 'nice guy' and an 'asshole'.

Realistic expectation, that is what it has to do with it.
It is a league table, a zero sum game, also other teams that are participating provide a good reference; you cannot have 10 teams that is having the same points leading the table with half of the table all losing to them.
Also if you think it has nothing to do with swapping teams position, then why the comparison with Napoli ahead of us? Cause if you look at the points we have so far, and being top in CL table, it is not deserving the reaction here at all.

I am not comparing us with a EPL team in the league, nor am I comparing it with some Demark league team.

"not only targeting Napoli or Jube or Milan or Atalanta." - sure they spent more than us LOL; if we are aiming higher should we spend more?

This is the main point every one needs to get. look at man city for example, they only bought savinho and washed gundogan in the summer and they had the worst season in pep's career. This january they spent 200m to help him. Now obviously im not saying we can spend like that but at least do something to help the coach/team. You know taremi's been a flop, correa can't stay fit, arna is useless. you're basically asking lautaro and thuram to go superman and carry the attack. that's obviously not sustainable and when they are off, we get that fiorentina game. and that's only the attack, we also have issues with midfield when the starting trio is not playing.

the thing is though - correa arna taremi is probably 30mil/season in expenses. god only knows what the midfield is, probably 30-40mil/season for the backups there alone?

we've spent money, quite a lot of it, they just havent performed. the fact that we have Zielinski, Frattesi, Asllani, and not really a viable midfield backup option is just shocking

We still keep talking about these potential amazing "backups" out there waiting to be snapped up, but who are these people that are willing to play 2nd fiddle to Hakan, and aren't far off of him? (And even worse, back up to Mkhi)

Zielinski and Frattesi were some of them of the most highly rated mids in the league, and even they're not cutting it.

They aren't spending more. We are topping the salary ranking (not to forget agent and commission fee) with 40m pa above the second, that aren't money in your view?

You guys are supporting to pay top salary for e.g. Lautaro and co. You also want to sacrifice nobody. You treat Primavera products like fire and aren't willing to grant "mistakes quota" on them. Then zero transfer fee surplus, live with it.

Yea that extra salary is going to Correa, Arna, Taremi.

I am all in for trying Primavera kids.

We have failled in a lot of big games this season and this says a lot about the mentality. Normally it should be the opposite. Even in Banter we often managed to perfome well in Derbys and big games. This season we are struggling a lot against good teams.

Actually past 10 years, That's why it was called as banter era because Inter got most of shitty results against top teams... even struggled against relegation candidates. (Palermo, Novara, Siena, Catania, Carpi, Crotone etc)

Since Simone terms, Inter can defeat Rubentus, Napoli, Roma, Lazio etc with ease actually.

The people who want to pretend we have the sort of team that can compete in 4 competitions are high. That sort of depth is only for the Reals and Man Citys of the world.

It’s frustrating because it feels like 1-2 more quality players away from being that but I don’t see how it happens without losing any of the key pieces we already have.

I hope Simone will sacrifice the Coppa game against Lazio. Just play with full backup or Primavera players, there's no point to waste our energy on that competition. Serie A and UCL are the only ones that we should focus.

Bro, Inzaghi and Primavera don't fit in the same line. Just give up this idea.

My Goat!
It was actually amazing on fixing the issues against Fiorentina, I don't think they changed the tactics much, but we did.
First game, people should give some credit to Palladino, but some our set up didn't help ourselves in some ways. If I really were to blame a player it would be Frattesi in the first game.

We never have trouble against low block, unless we are trying to reserve energy; but Palladino wasn't do a low block, even they only start defending in their half, the idea was mostly shut down forward passes pathways then cage in the ball holder and press him, the issue already kinda obvious is with Frattesi and Thuram and Dumfries they are running into spaces that either don't exist or the passage is blocked, meanwhile there are no lateral pass options to rebuild or change angles (second game we had much more midfield present for lateral options); one interesting thing is normally most Serie A team would like to make sure all 5 space (Channels, half spaces, Central Zone) in the final third being defended, but Palladino just left the wing Channels wide open and concentrated on around advanced mid zone Channels where a lot of our crosses normally comes from (Bastoni wink wink), and out paces us whenever we tried to attack the open wing Channels; they did the same again this game, but Carlos was much stronger, and the shuffle before they set up was better, which there wasn't a clear target for them to outpace; the other thing was their attacks and counters draws us to the middle and then hit on the flanks with overlapping (which is a big weakness of ours, cause our midfielders have to cover middle and side), yea, we were more cautious on the flanks this time. but more important is we stopped it in the center before it even gets to the flank thanks to Acerbi, he just beats it at the first contact point, amazing!

Fuck the haters!

Do you feel that the title race is becoming more heated in the media?

"I only said that I was angry after the Milan match because, after four or five incidents, we are human, and I was thinking about my Inter. When something happens to Inter, it is barely talked about. I raised the alarm, and we saw proof of it on Monday.

People are still discussing the corner awarded to us when the ball was out, yet I remember Leverkusen, where we were given a corner against us in the 90th minute from an offside position. We lost that match, and no one said anything, even though it forced us to play an extra game to qualify and put us lower in the group standings, which also hurt us financially.

When it's about Inter, people talk about it for days, while for others, it barely gets mentioned. I'm not talking about referees or coaches—mistakes will always happen. I just wanted to defend my work, my staff, and my players."

Did you feel pressured by Conte’s comments on refereeing issues?

"I already answered earlier. Mistakes happen, whether by referees or coaches. I was upset about the different treatment Inter receives. After four or five similar incidents, we are human, and I got angry.

I’m very calm. Sometimes I make mistakes too. On Monday, I was rightly booked, but I was very invested in the match after Thursday’s game. I didn’t want us to repeat the same mistakes."
------------------------------
Fucking right.
They - everyone, from the media to the while social media - are making a miscalled corner, which can't be retracted, of all things, seem like the new Muntari against Juventus. They're calling for changing of rules, for reprimands for referees and indirectly for referees to not call things for Inter.
Pavlovic barges into Thuram from behind. Not much is said.
Baschirotto handles the ball in a situation that's similar to Darmian's penalty. Nothing.
Gatti pokes a ball away from a Como player. Not a word.
Politano does the Swan's death in Empoli after barely haven been touched. Not much noise is made, Conte certainly doesn't complain.
Oliveira does something similar in the ensuing match that can directly decide the Scudetto. Everyone carries on (perhaps rightly so, a tough call).
(DID YOU KNOW?!) Napoli get a corner kick where the ball wasn't out, and McTominay scores from the ensuing corner. I actually just found this out, but no one put that situation under a microscope or really cared.
We get a stonewall penalty after Anguissa stamps Dumfries just below his knee. Conte goes on a schizophrenic five minute tirade that the media laps up as if he's rightly challenging authority.
Leverkusen score after an offside that wasn't called - it's unfortunate, but barely anyone Inter-related says anything, although it costs us our first loss and could've meant we wouldn't have conceded one goal all Champions League group stage, a momentous record, and we realize VAR isn't meant for every call. Even Inzaghi says so.


We get a corner kick that shouldn't have been called, and Pongracic heads it into his own net - everything goes up in flames, Football-Italia publishes articles calling it the death of football, the championship is falsified.
It's straight up ludicrous.
We certainly aren't, in the totality of the last 4-5 years, victims of malfeasance by referees.
But we're no doubt victims of a media campaign that makes us look like the new Juventus without any of the evidence or empiric data to back it up.

while inzaghi has disappointed, imho, we're still at the limit of the players not the coach. I dont think we'd have AMAZING results with a better team, but any money we do spend should be in upgrading the team for time being.

not saying there isnt significant blame on his table, because he does make shitloads of bad decisions/subs/etc, but still.

this ''we don't have good players'' bullshit is a pathetic excuse... Napoli is first with fucking Juan Jesus in the starting 11.

trust me, i get it, and i've been one of the first people in here in recent months to say we've had the best team for the last few seasons and 1 scudetto in 4 is just embarrassing...

This summer we will have a significant - forced - clear out. Lets see what we can do with a bit of a refresh, but as it stands right now, we probably cant even afford a manager better than Inzaghi nor find one. This team is set up for 3-5-2, it'd be expensive to swap to 4-4-2/4-5-1/etc, so we need to find a better manager than Inzaghi for this formation.

The last thing we need right now is to burden the club with another 10-15m a year expense in inzaghi's salary while paying another manager, unless shit gets really ba.
