Man, It's time for Lukaku to do something. The hell with that hold up play, receive a ball, quick pass or shoot.

I'm with you, but you're asking a lot!

Lukaku and Dzeko starting together is going to be a disaster.

Sky report the same so it will probably happen. They also report Dzeko-Lukaku in attack. Inzaghi has clearly prioritized match against Porto.
Inzaghi is playing with fire and his job...

Out of curiosity i checked if Inzaghi had done anything similar before a CL KO game in the past. And the answer is no.

Last season we were playing against Napoli before the first leg against Liverpool so he couldn't really rotate. And he didn't. But we were playing against Salernitana at home before second leg. He didn't rotate in that match either. Similar case at Lazio. Before their two matches against Bayern they were facing Sampdoria and Crotone. No rotation either.

This is so unlike Inzaghi. Maybe management told him reaching CL quarterfinals is a must so he is focused on that. I don't know. The thing is if we don't win tonight he will be under a lot of pressure.

Probably, though I remember being pleasantly surprised seeing them start together. Can’t remember what game it was (probably a friendly).

So what's the plan here; slow buildup and pump crosses into Lukaku and Dzeko with plenty of arm waving by Barella and Brozovic. Lord help us if Udinese scores first. What's the over/under for the number of offsides? FORZA INTER.

this is probably the worst game to start Lakaka and Dzeko. I don't undestand this coach at all.

Yeah, it's a weird decision, probably Correa is still hampered with an injury. Mkhitaryan will be gassed by HT. Then Handa will be blamed for poor distribution and letting in a goal or two. This has all the makings for plenty of smoke breaks and heavy drinking starting ca. 70 min mark.
