Not saying the players don't share some responsibility. But the buck always stops with the manager.

The issue is given Inters finances there isn't a clear improvement on inzaghi.
But we can't continue like this. We can all agree Inzaghi is a limited manager in some respects. Namely managment and motivation, but the players need to rise to the occasion. We're all adults and have a job to do. No need for Inzaghi to micromanage, telling dumfries to work on his crossing, reminding barella to track back, Lautoro to work on his finishing etc. These are their fucking jobs.

We're into round 16 of CL and only 5 points from second place. It's not all doom and gloom.

Yes, results against top teams are worrying but we could turn that around after the WC.

I blame Limone same as ours world class midfielders and defenders that were again eaten alive by mighty Rabiot and co.
His decision to sub off Skriniar for Darmian still baffling me. Calha for Correa was also a mistake in my opinion

Basically he repeated the same mistake against Milan. He'll never learn

1)He set up the team right - how @CafeCordoba addressed it
2)We were unlucky - see above
3)Certain individuals could have done better
4)He showed signs of learning - how he said he is all about the details in these matches: e.g. instruct or yell at Barella to foul?

Also, I actually found him courageous when he did the 3-4-3 thing, and the subs, I hope he wasn't doing it purely for the yellow cards, but he was really taking risks at that point.

For the argument, he should have trained the players better in shooting, decision, concentrating etc. I mean there is so much he can train and improve a player, or else we don't need to buy anyone, just train any of our kids. Also, it takes a way longer period to see the improvements than just a few games, and like people always said we don't have the luxury to train kids here, but I would say he had done a pretty decent job balancing results and letting kids to have some play time.

I remember we used to hire a locker room manager or something before, maybe just hire one if he is not really good at motivating them.

The most annoying thing now is that because we qualified in CL, he gonna get huge credit from our management clowns, we fucking lost to every team that in our "level" in the league, fucking pathetic..
Just wait. It’s gonna get worse when he beats Porto to get to the QF.

Don't have one.
I was reading a comment by Di Canio that Inzaghi should have instructed Barella to foul Kostic, and i 100% agree, cynical football wins
Lol you know what would have happened if barella fouled kostic, he would have gotten a yellow card and probably be taken off, knowing inzaghi policy.

I agree about cynical football, that's one of the main things we miss with him as a coach, but there is no cynical aka winning football without balls and courage, and the stupid yellow card rule of his is the quintessential opposite of that. You can't implement that type of football and then pussy out every time someone gets a yellow. Mofo literally panics in those situations...

Think about it, he can't even say to players to play hard, on the edge of yellow card, without saying in the same sentence that there is an ultra-high chance of them being subbed off exactly because of that.

I concentrate so much on this robotic rule because it's such a nice summation of why he will never be a coach you can count on to win big things, and I only mentioned one. By the time you get to all of his faults, you get a clearer picture of why we regularly shit the bed against higher level teams.

Mmm, they might sack him you know. I thought he was definitely safe but another loss in the next two games puts him in danger. Marotta and Zanetti haven't been complimentary today.

There is no way they sack him before the end of the season. And that's only if he misses the top four :yao2:

Budget was wasted on Lukaku who's been a non-factor, we have added young players who cannot make any difference, we're relying on older players that shouldn't have such a role (Dzeko, Mkhitaryan), Correa is a bust, Brozovic is out for a long while, our management is trying to sell half of our defenders and some players have the coming World Cup in their mind, whether or not that adds extra presure to them or just makes them more complacent during this part of the season.


Unfortunately for us and Simone himself, results are bad in the league. We do not have the luxury to play two competitions with 10 usable players yet we have to field 11 and do subs as well.

Honestly I much rather focus on CL and try to grind 3 points from every Serie A game to reach top 4 and hoping for the best vs the top 6-7 teams. It's been a long while since we had a good CL run and this club needs it more than it needs to finish 2nd or 3rd in Serie A. And honestly, as long as we have the full team available I believe that Inzaghi can genuinely get us far in CL, even if we have to face City or Real in the quarters.

There's nothing more to do here than back the team and coach up. There's still points to be missed until January which is a shame, but pointing fingers should start with the ownership for handcuffing everyone, the management for failing at every possible target set this summer, the players for not executing properly in front of goal and of course the coach himself for not addressing known issues like defense leaking.


I don't think he survives the season but not sure who replaces him, it all depends on a potential ownership change. The Chinese aren't happy with the offers they're getting so far.

Yeah. Very different tune from Inzaghi and Marotta. Inzaghi said we didn't deserve to lose while Marotta claimed loss was deserved and also raised the concern that 16 of the 19 goals conceded have come in away games and talked about how important matches against Bologna and Atalanta are. Sounded like an ultimatum.

Obviously Inzaghi will be the coach till Bergamo but if we drop even more points i wouldn't be surprised with anything.

yeah it's not like the owner has a lot of crazy idea...like bring reputable free agent coaches like Pocchetino, Tuchel, Zidane??? minimum idea the owner can done is appoint Chivu and it's like "add cold water into the burned area".

We had problems with keeping full focus for the entire match before Conte (he used to fix that issue a bit), but now the things are out of control. It's not only jube or Milan (1-2 last season), but numerous games where we have control, take the lead and then just shit our pants . This is a thing, which shall be resolved by the coach. Unfortunately Inzgahi hasn't showed even a sign that he can do it. I'm not for a new coach though, as we don't have money for a better replacement. Sadly, this is reality for the moment. With new owners, I'd strengthen the squad first, and then if there is no significant change in the results, I will replace Inzgahi as well.

I don't know if people have realized it but there's an actual danger of missing on top 4. Not just a theoretical doom and gloom narrative. Right now we're 3 points behind. And Inzaghi's Inter can't win big matches in Italy. How exactly are we going to finish ahead? Just hoping our rivals will fuck up against small teams a lot more than us?

Match at Bergamo is huge for our season. If we go into World Cup break 4-6 behind top 4, before even facing Napoli, then situation could be very problematic.

To be fair, our only chance of finishing top 4 is relying on other teams choking. We have been shitting the bed badly against the top teams in the league, we're yet to play Atalanta and Napoli in the first half of the season, Napoli is a guaranteed loss if you ask me.

But at the same time I don't know how we are going to sack him and hire a new manager with our financial situation?

It just turns out extending Inzaghi's contract was such a bad idea.

Other top4 teams not winning every match is not choking. It's normal. There are usually no 100 point seasons, not even 90 point seasons. And that's for the winner, let alone top4 finishers. It's expected teams above us will lose matches or drop points. Historically past 5 years top4 finish has been achieved with median 72p and average of 73p. At the moment we have budget for 86p finish as 5D1L. We can add 3 more losses and a draw to that and still get above average 4th spot finish.

I agree with @brehme1989 and what I've also said, that we should focus on CL now. We need to try to make as deep run as possible there. Just survive Serie A (top 4) but if it comes to a decision to pick either tournament, it's gotta be CL now (because our odds to QF are higher now).

Management should beg Zhang for reinforcements in the January window. For the CL but mostly for the depth, to secure that top 4 finish.

Is second place now the aim for Inter? We are out the scudetto race by the start of November.
We have conceded 16 goals away from home, 20 if we count cl. We can't beat any big team in the league.
That's very much doom and gloom for me.

INZAGHI is a mid average coach, look at his previous hsitory.
he managed to improve his numbers last year based on the team strength, but the meracato was a shame he didnt get the suitable replacement for pericis and sanchez!

if we will replace him, lets only hire a manager with atkeast 2.0 ppm
and strength our team, otherwise..we are back to morrati hire and fire.
