10 years of FIF
GdS - 99 shots total for Inter, only 9 goals came from that. Extremely low conversion rate of 9.09%.
Last season, in the first seven games, we shot 32 times at goal and 102 overall (conversion ratio of ~7.85%).How many of those 99 were on target?
It'd be nice if we could compare the amount of shots to last season after same amount of matches.
And then there's the match with Fiorentina last season when we were dominated and managed only two shots on goal and five overall.
Gnoukori played more than once under Mancini?
Inter youngters under Frank De Boer [14 games] and Roberto Mancini last season [42 games]
When you have an unbalanced squad poorly built by no one other than Roberto Mancini with zero squad depth, a poor summer preparation campaign, and hire a new manager with a completely opposite approach of Mancini 10 days before season kick-off, then of course all what you get is the worst season start in 20 years. A very normal and natural outcome.
We have never had such a poor overall season preparations in the past 20 years, so yeah.
What do you mean, Mancini is great at squad building. Even Man City, most of the key players are players Mancini brought in.I know you hate Mancini
but he is obviously not to blame for this, its 100% the management.
Also, poor summer campaign. I find that hilarious, we aren't the only club that done a pre season tour in other countries, but somehow this has only affected us? Bullshit. But still, the blame lays at the management entirely for this start.
Also your squad depth comment, Frank was complaining that the squad was too large if we are to believe his brother Ronald, so not sure if I agree with your comment there. Either we have Squad depth, or Frank was looking an even more ridiculous decision by getting rid of what was the figure, around 7 players?
Signing Aguero and David Villa is not a squad building skill. I can't request to sign one of the best and most expensive players in the world and then claim myself to be a great squad builder.
Mancini has always been known to stack similar players at some roles and ignore other important ones. He has ignored the role of a true playmaker in his long 4 years spell until Mourinho came and introduced Sneijder.
Both clowns share the blame.
The poor summer campaign is not the only reason for the bad start, but an important part of a collection of reasons.

A large squad does not equal depth.
Depth is having good rotation/back up players for every position in the squad. Having a large number of 7-10 garbage players like Ranocchia, Melo and Nagatomo on the bench is not squad depth. It's called quantity of quality.
- Icardi has scored against 18 of the 20 current Serie A teams this season. Only Ac Milan remains (and Inter).
- It took Icardi 12 league games to reach 10 goals this season:
14/15] 18 games to score 10
15/16] 21 games to score 10
16/17] 12 games to score 10
