It doesn't matter if Conte is suspended for the Derby. He doesn't make any tactical changes during a match.

Yeah, his absence could be a blessing in disguise; no more time wasting and no red card.

Even with this glorius tactic, we had not succeeded to penetrate Udinese defence. What a shame.

I kinda liked Conte's passion/cunt-ish behaviour which led to his red card. In a match where our players looked low on passion/morale, perhaps something like that from the coach can fire them up for the next games. Considering our current situation - financial meltdown, delayed salaries, no investment last window, media rumours about bankruptcy, etc - it helps to have a mental, passionate coach to keep the players focus & intensity on the games.

I guess we have different perspectives here. I kinda liked his passion which led to his red card. In a match where our players looked low on passion, perhaps something like that from the coach can fire them up for the next games. Having such a excitable/passionate coach has its pluses and minuses. But considering our current situation - financial meltdown, delayed salaries, no investment last window, media rumours about bankruptcy, etc - it helps to have a mental passionate coach to keep the players focus on the games.

We can only imagine what is going on inside the club and what the players have been talking about for the last 6 months, and how its impacted their morale. But we have hardly seen those insecurities on the pitch as yet. All things considered, I think our position in the table is quite creditable under such circumstances. Its credit to both the players and the coach.

I fear if our situation remains in limbo for long, the morale will fall at some point. This cannot continue forever. So I hope our ownership question is resolved asap and positively in terms of investment.

Hey, maybe the fuckstick should focus on letting his passion shine through by the example of his tactical improvements and changes and the encouragement he gives to his players - like every other decent coach in the universe - instead of taking it out on a referee who, by all accounts maybe didn't have the greatest game and possibly could've added one more minute, but that's about it as to the extent of his failures.

Conte's a massive, petulant manchild and shouting obscenities at the refeere like an insecure bitch achieves nothing but exposing that fact to everyone who didn't already know. He was supposed to be this proven winner that completely changed the very fabric of this club's DNA, but as anyone with half a brain knew before he arrived, he's a terrible person who has never really known hardship and now is running headfirst into it, pretty much on his own accord.

Why are you so far up his ass no matter what he does?

He has the best or second-best squad in the league, Juventus are the worst they've been since 2010, and that's all you really need to know. It doesn't matter if Zhang and Zhang were throwing fortune cookies at his windows every night, there's not one single excuse that prevents from Conte doing the bare minimum, which is winning the league.

2 match ban and 20k fine for Conte.

Okay, but when Paratici and Nedved bust into the referee changing rooms after games they lose nothing happens? :lol:

Also, Maresca cannot be allowed to referee us again, maybe ever. Just like we haven't had Orsato for a very long time.

His starting lineup worried me, but he got the subs mostly right and on time. Decent job today.

I didn't like how we reacted to the red card. We played so fucking slow. Managed to get some chances for sure, but I'd say only the Lukaku's one-touch flick from Lautaro was a clear cut chance created by Inter (Lautaro half-breakway was a result of some confusion or giveway by Milan so not a systemic, built chance in that sense). We move the ball way too slow when the opponent is just defending. That's the biggest issue when we pile pressure on opponent's box. Of course the absolutely horrible crosses is another issue.

Say what you want, for once I have to agree with Conte, he said it well: we keep creating great chances, but strikers aren't clinical enough.

His job is to enforce a system that creates chances, that's all a manager can hope for at the end of the day. The system works. Obviously that system depends on one or two very, very key players without which we would be absolutely fucked - but it works. He has his favorites, some of his favorites are proven garbage players that routinely fuck up. But what manager doesn't have his favorites? Can you name an Inter manager from the past 25 years who didn't love irrationally deploying that one garbage player?

Goalkeepers tend to play games of their careers against us, so fucking what? That sure won't change any time soon so we best adapt.

Lukaku and Lautaro need to be way more ruthless in front of the goal. Sure he scored that penalty last night but he still missed plenty of decent chances. Lautaro at this point isn't even worth mentioning, his condition stopped being a slump months ago. In general I find their partnership vastly overrated, missing sitters like that will cost us dearly at the end of the season. It feels almost as if they are too comfortable and too lulled into the system. They know the chances will keep coming so they fail to stress the importance. It's the CL experience that tends to crash-course fix those habits, a string of matches where you only get one or two chances if you are lucky. If only we could get him some of that experience.

I know tensions are high, and I know Inter fans love having a scapegoat more than anything. And I will keep criticizing Conte for various things - Kolarov, Eriksen, Gagliardini, Radu, Pinamonti... various players that either should or shouldn't play. But to say that his football doesn't work is plain and simply false.

I like how smoothly we move the ball to the final third and the the struggle comes. I think it is partly related to the strikers bad movement and positioning. I didn't check statistics but I think our best chances created were when Lukaku and Lautaro were more involved with the ball instead just to wait for the final touch.
