Atalanta - Inter (14 Apr 18) [0-0]

[CafeCordoba]

Inter is simply not good enough. We cannot even compete with Lazio and they played in Europe league when Inter had only series a.

Now when you needed to get the results Inter got two points from Milan, Torino and Atalanta. Zero goals. Defence is working but attack is completely depended on Icardis individual skills and he isn't like ibra who could win games by himself.

There is still slight change but Spalletti needs to somehow find a bigger change to Inter attacking game.

Yeah, it seems we simply don't have enough leaders and character in our team. Derby and after that it was supposed to be 4 wins before Juventus. But derby draw and then defeat and a draw? With no goals in any of those three matches? Come on. That's just fucking pathetic, you're suppose to compete for CL spot right now! They just don't give their all, they don't sweat blood for the shirt on the pitch.

IMO it comes down to Icardi being our captain, since he simply isn't a captain type. Yeah, he tracks back some days and fights and shit and that's great, but mostly he's just hanging out there, waiting for his team to do something. We need more character players and obviously more skill. Now it's just "doing my job" kind of thing, no real cohesive fighting for every ball, helping each other, giving surprises to opponent. Everything is just too ordinary given what the team's goal is for this spring (and for the whole season).

Of course coach has its role too and Spalletti has indeed given some defensive stability to this team. But that's not enough. He hasn't brought more, what is required to be even fucking fourth in this league. Team lacks overall skill but he seems to be a coach who can't draw maximum 100% (and sometimes more) from his squad when needed.0 goals in the last 2 games goes for Spalletti (in derby we created enough chances for Icardi).

I'm not really sure I agree that this should have been a win for us, both in the sense we didn't deserve to win or expectations before the game. Keep in mind, this Atalanta team also made Juventus, Roma, and Lazio drop points. I agree that we need points to secure top 4 but Atalanta away has never been a sire 3 points especially now considering they're a Europa league team.

Yea, Atalanta away is hard but no where near being a game where Inter should be pleased with the point. Resently Inter have only won against two bottom placed teams Crotone and Benevento. You won't get to cl if you can only win against those and Cagliari. When cl spot in on the line you need to win against Torino and against Atalanta. Even away those should not be anywhere near of impossible wins.

Now Inter didn't manage to do that so now they need points from against juventus and Lazio. The odds for cl is getting slimmer.

An interesting stat in our last 9 away games we just won 1 game just 1!!!

As an histrionic Italian football journalist would have said in very vintage fashion (Franco Rossi - RIP), this battle for the CL spots looks like a game of "Ciapà no"*.

["Don't catch it" in Milanese dialect... it's a trick-taking game where you have to avoid valuable playing cards to win #themoreyouknow]

Seems to be just like this.

Di Francesco has significantly underachieved apart from in the Champions League this year. Roma finished with 87 points last year, which a lot of seasons would win you the league. Even if they win all their games until the end of the season, which they won't, they'd still be 6 points behind last year. He's managed to do really well in the Champions League but the chances are they won't win it and then, effectively, it's for nothing. He has a much better squad than Spalletti has. There's no way you can compare his Roma with Spalletti's Inter.

Di Francesco lost his team's main attacking threat last season Salah, on top of Emerson Palmieri, Paredes and Rudiger, and of course it's his first season at the helm of a top club. What he has done this season it's remarkable, not only he just beat Barcelona after going 4-1 in the first leg, they also got first place in a group with Chelsea and Atletico Madrid.

The level of passing and touch on display in this game was abysmal. I'm not sure what Spalletti is meant to do when his players can't pass to another's feet.

Unless Roma collapse and end up missing the UCL, there won't be a single Roma fan upset with the results EDF has produced this season.

I think this goes to show that the success of a club is not dependent on the manager. The problem is Inter. We can point fingers and accuse but we'll never know the truth. Looking forward to next December dip in form in the next season.

Yea, the problem is here:

Eric Thohir 30%

I think it's dependent in our incompetent management choosing incompetent coach after incompetent coach, the only decent coach we has had since Mourinho was Leonardo, a guy that doesn't even really want to coach.

I thought Spalletti was a good coach, clearly I was wrong. He's mediocre, average at best.

This season we has been shit all season long too, we have only played like 5-7 good games under Spalletti.

Leonardo a decent coach? I think you've mixed up "most of the time enjoyable to watch" with "tactically incompetent. Everyone attack". As much as I actually really don't like him Mazzari was a way better tactician than him. And Spalletti whilst has his fault is leagues above both.

Well, it'd go in order Mazzarri, Spaletti, Pioli, Leonardo, Benitez, Ranieri, Stramaccioni, Vecchi, de Boer, Gasperini

Hopefully I didn't miss anyone

 

[Kenny]

No, you didn't miss Mancini.
