Antonio Conte

[.h.]

more than anything i cant imagine us spending 40-50mil on tonali and not having him be a starter. Like B arella, he'll probably get 5-10 games to bed into the midfield, but the aim would be to be a de facto starter after that.

It'll be interesting if we think Tonali can partially replace Sensi... might be Brozo out? There were links with like Liverpool... he's one of our best plusvalenzas in the team right now, and with all this spending...

Tonali is a non stop player. Brozo's main problem is his his chronic lack of motivation along with other weaknesses. But he manages to hide it with his useless running around. The combination of Barella and Tonali would be a huge upgrade to our current midfield. If I were Marotta I'd definetly sell Brozo asap because he won't improve and can be replaced with a younger cheaper midfielder.

Long project or not, the objective of every coach every season is to win games and finish as high up the table as possible. That means playing your best and in form players, playing to their strengths and adequately preparing the team for all games. i didn't see evidence of any of that yesterday. I saw an inter bereft of ideas, players out of position and uncomfortable, our opponents confident and running riot and our defence exposed time and time again. With Atalanta just a point behind and 10 games left to play this was not a game we could afford to lose. None of us were expecting a perfect performance given injuries, etc, but we shouldn't be playing at a serie B level. Unacceptable for a club of like Inter. I know we say this every other weekend, but this was one of the worst Inter performances I've seen.

As the highest paid coach in italy and as an experience, title winning coach/player we should expect much more from Conte. If our only tactic is Kaku hold-up plays and endless crosses, then Conte isn't going to win a trophy with Inter.

In other words, you wanted Conte to win scudetto right away. Like other clubs don't train at all...

After the last games, Bro can't be sold. He's too important for our playstyle. One can only dream to see

---------- Lukaku --- Toro/Replacement
---------------- Eriksen
---------- Bro ---------- Barella
----------------- Tonali
Bastoni -- De Vrij -- Skri --- Hakimi
--------------- Handa

and a sexy bench.

Seriously, selling Bro but keeping shit like Vecino, Gagsy, Borja, .. on our books is just dumb

I' talking about the formation we have, not the one that we dont use.

Tonali recently said he prefers playing as more of a box to box mid than to play position he currently plays in brescia, or in a position you put him in that formation.
Brozo must play in his current place, thats the only way he is effective and we shouldnt mess with that.

Highest point total at this stage of the season since 2010 :notbad:

In diamond formation, Brozovic protects the defense as it plays more to his skills as a long range passer, tackler and offensive opportunist. As LCM, more will be asked of his speed, dribbling, ability to use his weak foot to set up plays.

This is very impressive on paper and completely unnoticeable on the pitch. Great job however and hope we start looking like Inter at the beginning of the season soon.

 

[firmino]

if anything, we tend to rely too much on brozovic, so much so that our opponents have figured out that if they limit his freedom of movement, they have done half the job in controlling us.

Results wise Conte is no different to Spaletti so far, but Conte has made Inter play some good football post treble. I think for example the first half against Barca at Camp Nou or the first half against Dortmund,
These games showed a small bright spot at the end of the tunnel that might turn into something, we shall see. The transfer of Hakimi and potentially Tonali makes that bright spot a little brighter

 

[DARi0]

When will FIF members stop comparing Spalletti to Conte? Different era, different cojones. Spalletti was happy not to lose, while Conte wants to win. Spalletti barely had a couple of players he asked for, now the club is pumping millions into players.

That was huge Inter problem a long before the arrival of Conte. And i think it will took a while until he resolve this issue.

True. Easiest way is to buy top mentality players and drop the weak ones in the process. This takes time + money and now we have the money

Do you know what is wearing thin? The repetitive reports that Conte keeps pushing for the likes of Giroud and Vidal and his preference for experienced players. My general feeling on this is that there is an element of truth to these reports.

What I find baffling is that Conte wants to try and replicate what he did with his former teams by using the same personnel, ignoring that fact that they are several years older, would be playing in a different league (in the case of Giroud), and would arrive at a club that is unlikely anything they have ever experinced before.

Right now, I cannot get away from the feeling that Conte feels there are no other players out there for him other than those that he knows and has coached in the past. It is starting to piss me off and part of my problem comes from the fact that we already have the likes of Valero, Godin, Asamoah, Candreva and Ranocchia on our books, players that have stuck around like a curried egg fart. We do not need more elder statesman coming to the club, giving us a 6 months to a year at best and then sitting on our books being paid exhorbitant wages.

And that's why it's a good think we have Marotta. In the past we had blindly gone for the players the coach had asked and in the end we regretted it. The only costly player Conte demanded and got is Lukaku.

I wouldn't mind someone like vidal tbh, especially if we get tonali. People who think we don't need that kind of experience when you have midfield full of dudes who are in their early twenties are beyond delusional. If we want instant success we need those types of players, not to have full team of them obviously but just to sprinkle them on in some places, where they can help. And I don't think we have budget big enough to buy someone who is as experience and good as vidal but younger.

And I wouldn't mix up someone like vidal with some of those people you mentioned, who weren't even in their prime fit to wear inter shirt.

Not sure how much of this is reliable information and what is media bullshit. If Conte wanted only experienced players he would never have replaced Godin for Bastoni. He also gave minutes to Agume and Espositio with older players ready on the bench. It's possible to insist on some players like VIdal with whom he has been working before and he knows how to use it immediately.

 

[SiamoNoi]

Where exactly is this on him? We were creating chances and we scored almost 4 goals. Conte is not responsible for individual fuck ups. For Gag to be a crippled scumbag or for Young acting like a bull in a china shop

Isn't Conte that magician who turns shit players into useful ones?He was advertised like that when he was coming,I don't see much of that almost one year later.Now we are again talking that we lack better players.Which is absolutely true but Conte is supposedly that magician that can work even with shit ones.

I dont think anyone said, but it's pretty common these days to create a non-existent consensus.
