I never knew his position is that deep. Always thought he is more of a winger/attacking midfielder.

The assist and goal were handy, but he looked sloppy and totally spent after 70 minutes and probably should have come off.

Inzaghi keeps using Mhkitaryan so much that the second year in his contract will be activated. AFAIK it's 50% of the games played but not 100% certain (as I don't know 50% of what games, Serie A or all games)

Wanted him off late, but he stumbled into scoring the winning goal. Guess, in hindsight, it was good he stayed on.

MKHITARYAN: ‘WE’RE STILL NOT THE INTER WE WANT TO BE’
Speaking in a press conference, Mkhitaryan first spoke about how far this Inter team can go this season.
“We want to go as far as possible, we’re still not the Inter we want to be, we can improve and we know that. We have to work harder, at all levels, there is great potential and we are not yet satisfied.”

He commented on where he thinks the team have improved this campaign.
“What we write on social media is not what we think. Before the match with Sassuolo we had won with Barcelona and even there I said it was starting a new page, we knew we could still improve game after game.
“With Sassuolo it was difficult and then with confidence we went to Camp Nou, everyone saw how much we wanted to win.

The Armenian midfielder touched on the Nerazzurri’s ability to bounce back after conceding, something seen in the recent win over Fiorentina.
“I’ve only been at Inter for four months, I don’t know how it was before but what I can say is that we talked to each other and understood that we have to play until the end, no matter what happens, in football you play 90 minutes plus extra time.
“It also happened in Florence, after conceding a goal we didn’t give up, we put our heads down and kept playing, it was the game of life for us.
“When Dzeko controlled the ball I sprinted, thinking that even if he had given it to Barella it would have come to me anyway. I was in the right place at the right time.”

Mkhitaryan gave his thoughts on the return of Lukaku, who has been out injured for around two months now.
“He is a very important player, as is Brozovic. We miss everyone, this team is not only made up of the starters but all the players. I hope he can give us a lot, he has personality and experience, he wants to win and score goals.”

The 33-year-old spoke about the growth of Kristjan Asllani.
“The coach has found the solution there in the middle, he is the one who chooses the team, we try to help each other and do the best.
“Asllani has great potential, in my opinion he is a player who wants to improve, to study, and we also try to help him. We know we need all the players, no matter who is playing we all have to help each other.”

He reflected on the Nerazzurri’s disappointing start to the season.
“All teams have ups and downs, including us. It is possible that we started at the bottom, now we are at the top and want to go even higher.
“That’s life, you play good games and bad games, we started badly, but now we are finding our game and I hope we will improve further.
“We know we don’t have any wild cards left to use and we want to win every game without making mistakes. They always happen, but we can improve.”

Finally, Mkhitaryan commented on where he thinks he’s best suited in the Inter system.
“I fit very well on the pitch, no matter where. The closer I am to the opponent’s goal the better, but playing as a centre midfielder is also good. We know what to do, we are a very good team.

“Calhanoglu or Brozo? It makes no difference, they are two perfect and good players, we understand each other very well. We’re waiting for all the injured players.”

I like that he said “We know we don’t have any wild cards left to use and we want to win every game without making mistakes.”

I don't like this signing due to no chance of improve and value gets every day less, but he is much better than PRIME VECINO...
He came on a bosman deal with a low gross wage, what value were you hoping to retain?

Low gross wage? i'm not sure about that. I always rather to get a young cheap player a chance and see his value grow. Dumfries for instance.

His gross wage is 5m, it's relatively low for a bosman deal and he's been playing pretty well.

True, we should have kept Gnoukuri instead of him and Pinamonti instead of ceko

Inter is really not a club which is looking for such deals ie. trying to grow the value of their players. Inter is looking to win so we need impact right away.

Like Besnik explained, Mhki was free, relatively low gross wage given the tax reduction still to be used for him. We don't need him to improve, we need for him to give performances right now.

Given how much he plays now, the second year of his contract will get activated. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

The fact that he keeps Gagliardini on the bench is already a value. He is an indirect replacement of Vidal and so far he is more effective.

He is good lately but he was trash at the beginning of the season. Anyway he got a lot of credit from the coach to adjust himself to the team despite his shitty performances. Asllani has never gotten such a chance for example.

starting to like Miki.
dude is calm but a constant threat to any opposition, at least in our last games.
saw him in good striking positions in several occassions in many games, especially in our build-up plays.
agreed with the posters above, besides the explosiveness, he offers much more than Vecigod or Vidal.

No Milan player
he played lots of minutes these past 2 months. probably be subs again when brozo start playing regularly but inzaghi seems do not have any alternative to him for sub.

perhaps need to buy player as alternative to him ex aouar for rotational purpose as gags and asslani is not suitable for attacking
