He is affected by injury and by the situation, these are strong factors.

Imagine yourself at his place, You love club, fans love you, you plan to be here for a long time and suddenly you are treated like a real estate that is on market to make profit.
I remember when Conte was trying to get rid of Skriniar,he was looking kind of similar but he was still fighting,focused, working hard...Now he just looks tired,slower,unfocused..He is not even cheering his teammates as he was always doing in the past...

That was different, Conte wanted to get rid of him because he thought Skriniar will never adapt to 3 defender system.
When somebody is telling you that you can't do it, it may become a motivation for you to prove that they are wrong. He proved it.
But when they try to sell you for just capital gain, that's a different story.

Still doesn't look himself. He can be happy Handa was in rare form today, most chances for Torino came on his side

46th minute, he goes to cover the byline.

Vlasic made him his bitch multiple times. He is too slugish for back 3.

he can be good enough for a back three

he is just making more wrong decisions than usually, De Vrij had a better game, that says something

Perhaps his not so good form have something to do with the fact that 2 player that usually play in front of him are also play bad, Barella and Dumfries? He maybe doesn't get enough help like he use to..

People are acting as if this is his first season in a back 3. Sure he's at his best in a back 4 but he can play a lot better in a back 3. We have seen it. The problem is a lot bigger than just formation. It's about the way we play with the back 3, it's about the poor pre season that has made most players look in terrible shape and it's about the uncertainty about his future and the club in general.

He doesn't prepare well for this season and it is exacerbated by our offensive strategy. Skriniar is much more protected under Conte because the latter employed more rigid shape while Inzaghi is more fluid. Consequently, we do not have player protecting him whenever we lose the ball and we often see Skriniar is exposed to players running full speed.

Because he had better preseason.
And I wouldn't call him a beast last season. He was still worse than he was at 4-men defence during Spallo's tenure.

Skriniars best season was probably under Spalletti. First year with Conte he was average and being benched a lot, then the next season he was very good, just as last season. This year however he has been horrible. Whatever the reason is, he better start playing better. Either he is getting destroyed by quick players or he is nowhere near a player when he shoots. This form would perhaps be ok, if our other 2 defenders were doing great, but unfortunately they have also been poor.

Guys, have you every played in defense yourself with a bad partner? If yes then you know the answer.

Cooking. Club has until January to have it signed, so there is no rush. Why would the club pay more than the current deal for the remaining months of 2022? :giggle:

According to Sportmediaset, Inter are confident of securing Skriniar’s signature in the coming weeks, making him the highest earner at the club (after Lukaku who is just on loan).

The Nerazzurri will offer Skriniar a €7m-a-year deal, according to the report.

I have read his reply in a different context, but at the same event (UCL pre-match conference):

Skriniar was not keen to discuss his future when asked about a possible Inter departure in January.
“I have never spoken and I prefer it to stay that way. We came here to play this game and I don’t want to talk about my future and my contract, I don’t think it’s the right time and place.

“When there is news you will hear it from me and no one else, I have never spoken and I prefer to stay that way.”

This is the full version of what he said.

And why would you post the full interview? The narrative was that he played like shit because of the whole transfer rumour and that he got distracted not because he had a long injury.

Can play on left, can play center, and now on the right. Holy smokes, Inter better resign him.
