I feel like fans only think he deserved a yellow because it was Vidal. Reputation thing.

Kind of how D'Ambrosio commits like 10 fouls from behind each match but they're so minimal that no one really mentions it. Also he seems to have a generally good relationship with Italian refs as they constantly fall for his awful dives.

You're right. I'm aware that Conte deserves so much criticism specially for his Kolarov masterpiece, but that doesn't mean we have to shit on every Conte player just for the heck of it.

He shouldn't, but that is exactly what's going to happen. Until he makes a tired, desperate tackle onto someone's shin or kneecap.

Please let that someone be Cuadrado, revenge for Alexis.

Good signing so far, if a bit loose.. at times. I would fine him €50,000 every time he makes a tackle where both his feet leave the ground. I appreciate his true grinta but enough flying Kung Fu please.

this guy can't play 4 games in 10 days. we need to bring radja into the mix.

Nainggolan could be a wildcard for us but he looked absolutely unfit and unmotivated during that brief single appearance. It would have been better for the club to completely cut ties with him and Perisic. Relics of a best forgotten era even if they both had some quality moments as individuals.

As for Vidal, he’s been quite good. He made a tackle the other night that was vintage Vidal. He’s still in great shape for his age but I do worry about burn out. He can’t play 90 minutes every fixture.

Totally at fault for the third goal. I would give Dambro some slack because it was an exquisite through ball and any defender in the world would lose foot race against Vini. Vidal, on the other hand, should have awareness to mark Rodrygo once the through ball was rolled into motion.

Isn’t this what we would expect from Vidal? In fact I expected Inter to concede a goal through Vidal.

I think that we must expect much much more from Vidal! That's not enough! Wake up Vidal!

Honestly, given Vidal's age defensively he makes tackles late, is late in marking people, giving away balls in crucial defensive areas. Can't we just play him in an attacking role like he was doing last season at Barca? He was their 2nd highest scorer I think.

He is finished.

He is solid but very aggressive, sometimes unnecessarily.

His main problem is that Conte sees him as irreplaceable and doesn't give him a rest. Barcelona - and even Bayern - wasn't using him all the time and used him mostly in important fixtures. Conte is milking this guy dry and it's barely 2 months into the season.

Solid defensively and leaked two goals already. Solid and Vidal don't collocate. How many goals did he score for Barcelona? Was he worth his high salary? Sometimes I can't determine who is worse some fans or Inter administrators. We can't even accept a simple fact.

Yup Conte is burning him out. In record time too. You can’t have a 33 year old midfielder play almost 90 minutes every fixture. Inevitably his performances will get worse as he gets more fatigued.

The problem is that Vidal is not a DM, but Conte is using him like that.

All other coaches at Barca saw that and played him in a more attacking role, but noooo, Conte knows better.
