Season appears to be taking it's toll on him, unfortunately we can't really rest him for Milan or probably the Sassuolo match either, hopefully his mates can help cover for him as needs arise.

Sassoulo isn’t in great form compared to previous seasons. If Acerbi is gonna get some rest at any point the rest of the season, it should be against them.

Inzaghi has managed him poorly. He considers him as an option both for cb and lcb so he always plays. In Serie A he hasn't started only two times in the last 15 games.

In comparison, Bastoni got rested every other match in Serie A in the same period.

Acerbi needed rest a lot more than Bastoni.

Sassuolo is the last match where Acerbi can get rested. And he badly needs it.

Weird isn't it? The two players that originally I was dead set against getting; Darmian and Acerbi are two of the valuable and versatile players Inter has.

Because he is 35 and has more minutes played?

As a rule of thumb that makes sense but Bastoni looks gassed a lot this season for whatever reason - long covid or something, I dunno? Acerbi doesn't...

Maybe their roles a different? LCB gets to run up and down the pitch/flank more than our CB. Acerbi doesn't look tired or anything.

He needs to change his boots. Been slipping left and right lately. Can be costly vs Leao/Giroud next week.

On a side note, what a beauty it'd be if he had buried that long range shot

I had never seen him speak before but during the press conference dude straight up sitting next to Simone goes "if we do go through this game, the entire season turns to shit" :LOL:

This guy is a machine!! He’s ridiculously solid! Like others I was livid that he joined us but his performances are just brilliant.

He’s nuts and a man of emotion, he is really a player that you like to support, because his heart is all in there.

I’m very happy we can still praise him as his action against Tonali had the potential to turn out to be the dumbest stunt since the slippery shit at Lazio against Milan.

Honestly, imperious in this CL run.

And the man LOVES playing against Giroud, goddamn. Didn't even let him see the ball.
