Antonio Conte

Its a good example, but you are forgetting the full story. Before Pioli, Milan tried the same with the likes of Inzaghi, Miha, Montella, Gattuso & Giampaolo. In these 6 years, they have invested more money on their team than Inter, easily over half a billion. They are yet to even qualify for the CL once in these years, their revenues decimated. So you still think their strategy of rebuilding with a "cheap" coach makes sense? IMO Inter have done better.

This is true but how are we in a better situation? Financially? Domestically? In/out of Europe? Squad depth/quality? Management?

And that is what is wrong with the likes of Inzaghi or De Zerbi (even if we assume they suit our current squad) is that they are unknown at this level. Qualifying for CL would be an achievement for them and I think Inter need to aim higher than that at this stage. We have already tried the Pioli's before, we call that the banter era.

Like I asked earlier, is that down to Pioli or Inter's lack of a recruiting plan? We knew Gasperini was adamant on his 343 and that we didn't have the players that suited his tactics. Same story with Conte. Maybe we need to sort out our hiring process before blaming the coaches. And trust me, I know all the shortfalls of hiring an inexperienced manager (Strama and Terzic at Dortmund), they maybe unknown at this level, but an experienced coach guarantees nothing except for a huge wage bill. From Lippi to Benitez to now Conte, we've seen it all before.

I'm guessing you're keen on Allegri, he was a nobody coach once upon a time too, fired by Cagliari after a poor run, the following season he won the scudetto with Milan.

Giving credit today, but management has to see Inter through..

There was also a moment in the last minutes where he could not stop to laugh. Dont know why, maybe because of Lukaku that wanted a impossible pass from Hakimi but im not sure. He was never that happy while a game

Why do you keep saying BBIlan spent more when it s simply not true? Since the season 14/15 we ve spent 801 mio on players in the same period bbilan spent 676 mios on new players. Not that it s a bg deal but you ve claimed so before and i really wonder why....
There also is no argument to be made when comparing pioli vs conte as we ve spent way more on players since those two coaches are in charge...
So what exactly is your point?

BBilan spent less on players and less on the coach and yet their ahead of us......

Net spent is what matters. Since 14/15 Milan spent 390m and Inter 330m so yeah, they have spent more than us.

They are atm 3 points ahead of us but we have been ahead of them 10000 times since 14/15, and yet people here are already panic. We have earned tons from CL while Milan earned zero. Why don't you count?

Fifers ask for coaches' (Pioli's include) heads all the time. But when he goes elsewhere and succeed, people praise Milan for trusting him. What a irony. Imagine Conte leaves us and joins Juve back and win Scudetto there...fuck Inter for recruiting rookies, watch and learn from Juve I guess.

I said invested more, which as I have explained before, is a bit different from spent more. The indicator I am using is "Net Sales" and not "total spend". For example consider Lukaku - you could say that Inter invested 74m on strikers and ignore the fact that we sold Icardi. Or you could say that we invested 24m (Lukaku IN for 74m - Icardi OUT for 50m) on strikers, which IMO is more reflective of our investment.

Last 6 years, if you only look at total spend, then Inter spent 790m to Milan's 648m. But if you look at net spend, Inter have invested 322m into the mercato compared to Milan's 384m. Milan have invested more.

BBilan spent less on players and less on the coach and yet their ahead of us......

LOL, the season isn't over. Milan haven't qualified for the CL once in these 6 years of big investments. Not once. We have qualified fro the last 3 consecutive seasons. Maybe our experienced coaches (vs their rookie ones) had something to do with that?

Conte: we are 1 point closer to the first place. Lads showed up and did their best; luck just wasn't with us in this game.

 

[Il Drago]

The match against Udinese indicated one of the reasons i want him gone. His subs are late and even when he makes them he's too scared to take any risks. Finishing the game with 3 cb when you're desperately looking for a goal is ridiculous.

 

[Shark]

Why did he say "E sempre tu Maresca"? What made this clown so angry at the ref (besides the usual questionable decisions made by Serie A referees)?

That's his downside since day 1: Conte has no plan B. If it works like vs Juventus, so far so good. But if the opposite figures his 3-5-2 out, well, we could play the same shit for another 180' and waiting for luck.

There is a reason Conte team always shit in Europe. Mourinho completely abandoned 4-3-1-2 to 4-2-3-1 and gained glory. Conte...3-5-2 to dead.

 

[bubba zanetti]

Play fkn Eriksen and Sensi vs Benevento,we cant lose Broz and Barella cause bookings vs Bbilan scum.

"Sempre tu Maresca"

Conte vs Maresca, only available data is as Inter coach as he wasn't around before.

Cagliari vs Inter 1-2 (gave us a late penalty to go ahead)
Inter vs Lazio 1-0
Torino vs Inter 0-3 (in too much rain iirc)
Inter vs Milan 4-2
Parma vs Inter 1-2 (we turned the game around with two late goals from De Vrij and Bastoni)

The only episodic game was vs Parma where Stellini got cautioned and Berni was sent off.

What the fuck's his issue with the guy?

Don't want to ruin this #sackConte party here, just wanted to point out that we started with our strongest line up today. A coach cannot do much if a striker (Martinez) misses sitters or if the RWB (Hakimi) forgets how to control the ball for a night.

We had a bad night. This one is on the players.

You can make that arguement if only one or two players were bad. The whole team was bad, even barella who usually is our best performer played like turd today so it is on Conte, as usual the team had no vision on how to attack.

Players underperformed tonight. There's no doubt about it. But what did the coach do from the bench to help the team? He waited till 70th minute to make his first sub and even then his subs were: Perisic for Young, Sensi for Vidal and Alexis for Lautaro. Zero risks. That's when you need a good coach during a match, not when the system is working and the players are playing well.

 

[Lui]

Udinese were parked, didn't matter what we did. Conte was right to go for the same lineup vs juve.

I'd like to once again remind everyone, that with 4 minutes of stoppage time after Udinese's great period of play had receded and we regained control of the game, we finished the game with 3 centre backs, and a chance to go top, and Conte chose to argue with Maresca.

Goodnight.

 

[brehme1989]

Apart from a few attacks from Hakimi, which were a couple of counters and a very nice one-two with Sanchez, our most dangerous attacks were a shot by Lautaro which was a chance gifted by the Udinese defense and a Barella shot on the volley after a set piece.

Zero creativity and zero urgency. That changed slightly with Sanchez and Sensi but you cannot remove your most mobile striker when you do that shit. Just don't play with 3 at the back ffs, add more creative or attacking players.

Do people realize that Udinese had the final say in this game with like a mini barrage of potential chances from having the possession in the final 2-3 minutes?

 

[Ethor]

This match was a total failure by the team and management. It was there for the taking, but no, a listless performance.

 

[Jusef]

If only Conte had that player who can shoot from outside the box.
