I largely blame Conte and his one dimensional football for our failure against Shakhtar (and for going out of CL at a similar stage in similar fashion last year). It is very frustrating to see him doing the same thing in Europe and fail the same way without learning anything. However this limitation of Conte was well known when we hired him (one of the many reasons I was against hiring Conte), so what is happening now is not really coming as a big surprise.
I don't agree with some of the stuff being said here, some people are way too biased. Let me address a few of these points:
1. Sack the coach: Calls for sacking the coach now are immature. Despite the CL failures, Conte still overachieved with Inter last season and is performing at par in Serie A this season so far. Taking this call before the end of the season will be really moronic for Inter. For some people, "sack the coach" seems to be the instant solution for every problem, its really not.
2. Great Squad: Inter do not have the best squad in Italy. We had an average squad last season with at least 4 major gaps (LWB, RWB, DM and poor bench strength). This summer we have addressed only 2 of those - Hakimi for RWB and partially improved our bench strength due to cheap buys (Kolarov, Vidal, Darmian) and some players we could not sell (Perisic, Nainggolan). Juve had a much better squad than us last season, and they committed serious amount of money this season (almost 250m!) to improve it (Kulusevski, Morata, Arthur, Chiesa, etc). The gap has only increased this summer. Just consider the crucial CL game - our best players on the bench were Sanchez, Perisic, Eriksen, Dumbo, Sensi, Darmian. Juve against Barca had a bench including Bentancur, Kulusevski, Dybala, Bernerdeschi, Chiesa, Rabbiot. The only reason we are ahead of Juve in Serie A is the difference in experience of our coach vs their new coach. If we sack the coach, we lose some of that advantage so this quality gap may start to show.
3. Conte fucked Eriksen: While I agree with the hypothesis that Eriksen was a Marotta hire and not what Conte wanted, I disagree that Conte did not try to integrate Eriksen or give him enough chances. Conte changed our formation post lockdown (from 3-5-2 to 3-4-1-2) to bring the best out of Eriksen. I don't blame Marotta either for this particular transfer failure - that opportunity was too good to miss. I can only blame Eriksen. I have seen this before - a great player comes to a club, his skill level is above anyone else (which it is) so assumes he just has to turn up to succeed. Eriksen just didn't try hard enough. At a top club (and we are the most prestigious club Eriksen has ever played in) you don't get unlimited chances. You have to prove you deserve to start, and Eriksen got enough chances to do that. He failed, IMO due to lack of effort. Maybe this shock therapy of Conte will fuel Eriksen's hunger to succeed at Inter, or maybe not. But ether way, the blame for his failure so far is largely on Eriksen himself.
Inter decided against spending money this summer, while other clubs like Juve, Napoli, Milan invested. For once I would like to see how Conte performs with Inter when we don't have huge gaps like playing Perisic at LWB or Gagliardini as DM. We still need at least a quality LWB, a top DM and a vice-Lukaku to be at a place with reasonable expectation of silverware. I can only hope that Inter give that to Conte soon so that we can really see how far Conte can actually take us in Serie A.
1.We need to sack him now,we need manager who can turn this players and fit them in their best position,play best system that is suitable to best players we have. So,no fkn Gags,DAmbro and similiar shitters,we need Eriksen,Sanchez,Skriniar,even fkn Ninja to play. We need our best quality players to play,not to destroy them,only to play shitters like Gags or DAmbro who cant and will never improve. We will never beat Rube,Barca,Real with Gags,DAmbro playing in first 11. Cunte showed that he can't do that,and his results are shit this season so far,plus he is lunatic and his behaving is not worth of Inter,plus he is gobbo merda.
2.Rube has better squad yes,but thats why we need coach who can do things,who can beat opponent that has better roster. Cunte failed to deliver that and he wont deliver,he failed not only to beat any better squad than ours,he failed to beat Shaktar,Sevilla, BM,lost every big game..You are telling me that there is no coach that can do that? Simone Inzaghi beat twice Rube last year,beat us with inferior squad,Gasperini also did that,friggin Gatuzzo won the cup. So you are saying that we need to have roster like Rube,and than we will beat them and win scudetto?! LOL,bring than Cambiasso,he'll do that,no problemo.
3."At a top club (and we are the most prestigious club Eriksen has ever played in) you don't get unlimited chances. You have to prove you deserve to start, and Eriksen got enough chances to do that. He failed, IMO due to lack of effort. Maybe this shock therapy of Conte will fuel Eriksen's hunger to succeed at Inter, or maybe not. But ether way, the blame for his failure so far is largely on Eriksen himself. "
LOL,what about fkn Gags?Can you explain me why is he playing every single game?He proved himself,is that the case here? That guy gets unlimited chances,still he is failing non stop,guy is definiton of failure,and he still plays every single week. Thats why we can't beat shit in CL,and we choke against any stronger team in CL and Seria A.
Cunte is overatted,overhyped,mediocre,one dimensional coach and he is the one who doesnt deserve another chance. Not Eriksen,not Sanchez,not Skriniar...Cunte needs to go,take his fucking money,and donkey Gagliardini with him..That is what Inter needs... We will never achieve anything with Cunte.Anything.
