Andrea Stramaccioni

we also have Sneijder, who was at his house making the christmas decorations

Cuz if we added Sneijder to that bench, it suddenly looks like a world class bench?

I'll just quote myself and add to this: We do have decent team and team that should beat Genoa. But don't forget we were witout Guarin, the only midfielder that can pass and bring the ball forward + Wesley as we all know who he is + Nagatomo, whos more and mre important to the team. The absence of those three hurt us much, hurt strama too... As Scotish said, playing Chivu as DLP said much, as well as brings message to moratti and branca WHAN he needs.

and coutinho, who usually gives us a nice boost in the 2nd half when subbed in

Given the whole Stramaccioni debate I have posted an article I wrote about how clubs should go about choosing a manager and how Strama does on the selection criteria.

No, but it gives Strama an extra offensive choice for choosing a great player who hasn't been the same since Mourinho was here, but is still better than all the players you mentioned

How many players do you want? Besides the ones we already had on the bench

Our bench for that game should also consist of:
Stankovic who has been injured all this 6 months
Sneijder whos not even part of the team anymore
Guarin who was suspended
Mudingayi whos injured
Obi whos injured
Coutinho who wasnt called

lets just have 40 players in our squad

Dont think I said that!

Stankovic doesn't deserve to be part of this team anymore, to be honest. Nor does Chivu, nor does Mariga.

If we have this many long term injuries - and remember, some of these were known going into the season (Alvarez, Obi, Stankovic, Chivu at least) - we should have some more appropiate depth to compensate it.


Even on 'full strength', our bench looks thin. This is part of the wage reduction policy. Where previously we had people like Cordoba, Materazzi, Vieira, Cruz, Crespo, we now have Livaja, Pasa, Bianchetti, etc.

Yes, the wage reduction policy, yet our primavera players fail to have the playing time they need to adapt to Serie A

When does coutinho/livaja play? Always when we're losing and they enter 15/10 minutes before the game ends, you can't develop that much from that ideology though

Good, because you can't! xD

I'd love to see Strama playing with a youngster this days, that are actually games that count for something, at least Serie A wise, I can't see any EL games or coppa ones, so when they do, I'm always reading the reports of the games, just that

ive said a few times, the lack f youth in serie a is inexcusable.

we need players who can contribute to our squad


edit: I'm not talking about the injured ones, but about Jonathan, Silvestre, Deki, etc

I hope Strama can convince Moratti to buy a ball playing midfielder on Janury, at least. The only midfielder who can do that is Guarin, even his passing is not that great. Maybe it will help him in arranging attacking players. As for having three attackers where one them, who is sadly not a CF, does not have the stamina to do a little more defensive duty places more burden on midfielders and defenders. We could see just how much Eto'o and Pandev help defending during the treble season.

Also, I hope he grows balls to bench players that does not perform well, individually or system wise. For example capitano. As much as I love him, in fact the only player I love, he contributes very little in attacking department. It really hurts when you play with 3 cb's and have Zanetti as wing back. Maybe give more chance for Nagatomo and Pereira to play together on each opposite side. I know that naga has better games as lb and pereira has not been consistent this season. But, defensive duty of a wing back is not as crucial as a side back I think, as you have 3 cb's who can help them. So, we need them to contribute more in attacking area.

I don't know the exact target Moratti set for him or how much margin of error he has in his disposal or how players perform in training, but I hope he uses youth players more and not give them 5-10 minutes per game. Giving them a sub in on 60's minute is not a bad idea when your on field players do not perform.

Gentlemen there are fast 10 hours after the game and I get calmer.

It's easy to blame Strama but only a few points I would like to mention:
1. Our bench today was a nightmare. Fast all of you pointed that out. Actually all the substitution would have weakened the team.
2. We miss two of the most important players, if not qualitative, at least quantitative: Naga and Gauarin.
3. Strama played courageous today. He gave up the system with 6-7 defensive players to our joy and played an offensive kind of 4-4-2 with Ricky LW and Palacio RW. The Result: Gargo and Cambiasso were outplayed by the "World-class" talent of Kucka and Bertolacci and Genoa dictated the tempo. This is the living proof that any combination of two CM's that we currently have is unfortunately too weak to rely on.

With all Strama's faults that you can find, I cannot believe that is a couch who could perform much better with this bunch of losers we have.

Sometimes Strama gives me mental shocks... How in hell can a coach highlight publicly a miss by a youngster?

Just look at his statement: "We showed a magnificent response. Clearly we're disappointed because that Livaja situation was ridiculous. Now we need to take a complete break from it all and come back ready to start again strongly."

What game was he watching? Magnificent response my ass, and then to even top his earlier comment by saying that he is disappointed (not by the sterile game, not by the 0 created chances, not by our "midfield" being shit once again, not by making genoa look like barca) from the Livaja situation... really Strama?

Livaja missed a ball that all of the world class strikers have missed in their career, there's no such a player that has not missed a sitter. And no, im not trying to defend him, but to say those things in a interview as a coach of Inter is just fucking ridiculous.

idk try to save his own ass maybe?

hes fucking losing it, were not getting youth through and our results are going down the fucking drain.

"Mourinho's agent talked to Man Utd, City, Chelsea, PSG, and Inter. Except Inter, they all said they're waiting on decision Guardiola. "

- Girls always pick the least desperate guy :datass:

He publicly defended Livaja, saying you can't blame a kid of 20 for situations like that. He never blamed Livaja for the miss, he just said the situation was unfortunate.

If people are expecting a coaching change they should lay off whatever it is they are drinking.

Not gonna happen. Unless the club is stupid.

Anyway, why would a decision be made before the season is even half way done. So nothing that can happen in the next half of the season will change people's mind.

We cannot afford Mourinho or Guardiola, no one in Italy can. The league cannot even keep star players who cost half what those coaches will demand.

theres plenty of good coaches out there. one just needs to look hard enough. if strama doesnt get 2nd place imo he should be out. idc about 3rd place we might be fucked in the playoffs.

and some decisions are made halfway through the season, i.e. lucio leaving it was pretty clear, and tons of other treble players.

Ill take Michael Cox imo. Im sure he wont demand a lot of money

If Guardiola demands wages that are too high, which I dont think he cares too much about, then what about Malaga coach?

This team is in financial misery (like some people), and look what he has done with the team.

FFS PELLEGRINI IS THEIR COACH!!!

Why is every coach Inter look at has something to do with Mourinho in some way
