I am not sure why, but I feel like we will win 2-0 or 3-0. Maybe because we have better condition then at the start of the season. We all do remember the first game where every single player didnt know where to stand or where to run. The downside is we dont have Ever Benega, but I am sure of DB will do something about it. Maybe this match we can have Kondo in and move him where JM played today and JM will play the place where Benega did. Fingers crossed for a win

I'd start the same formarion with Kondogbia instead of Banega, and Perisic instead of Eder.

Kdog as a trequartista? You've got to be fucking kidding me!

Sorry my mistake, I thought Banega was playing as a trequartista last night, but he wasn't. He played as one of a midfield three. So yes Kdog should come in for him.

no offense to empoli but we dn't need to start tired medel against them i'd play with joao mario as a trequartista and play kondogbia and brozo if he behaves, if not lets then play kondogbia and J mario and play jovetic and icardi upfront with perisic and candreva in the wings so 4-4-2 in case brozo won't play.

A few things:
1. Will Medel, and Santon play? I would probably rest both of them, esp Medel as he had been playing non-stop. It would be interesting to see who takes Medel's place, Kondogbia or Melo. Either way, I think Ansaldi will debut this match.
2. Will Perisic start? again, depends on how serious his case of muscle fatigue was. I wouldn't mind seeing Eder start and give Perisic extra time to recover for the Bologna match.
3. Who will replace Banega after his red? My heart wants JoJo, but my head thinks Mario will play further upfield.

This is the real test.
On a serious note i would like to see Gabigol behind Icardi but i doubt he'll be fit for this one. Probably one of Jovetic or Eder(if Perisic starts) will replace Banega unless FDB switches back to 4-3-3 (i really hope not). In that case he'll probably start Kondogbia.

We've won against Juventus, if we play like how we did against the zebras, this will be a victory without a doubt.

We're 6th but tied in points with 3rd (Roma). It's important that we win, keep the pressure on Juventus and Napoli.

I legit have a good feeling that we'll challenge for the scudetto this term, at least finish third. Thank god Mancini's gone.

I think we should play a 433 formation

I'd keep Medel on the bench for this one and give K-Dog and Melo a start.

The defence will be whatever FdB chooses, but I feel our midfield should be K-Dog - Melo - J.Mario
and our attack should be Perišić - Jovetić - Candreva (or Icardi for the first half)

Gabigol and Eder should be the players to come from the bench if needed.

Empoli lost twice 1:0, so expect them to defend like crazy. I trust Melo to not fuck us on this game, while it's high time K-Dog gets some minutes. Hopefully we finally score first and not chase the result.

i'm quite optimistic that Joao Mario will execute Banega's role smoothly. his passing, movement, vision, and intellegence are more than enough as an attacking CM.

==Jovetic===Icardi===Perisic==

==Kondogbia===Melo===Joao Mario==

Santon==Miranda==Murillo==Ansaldi

===Handanovic===


i have a good feeling we'll win it. FDB's tactical display seems work so far. but the key is we must show the same balls, grit, and mentality as against rubentus.

another epic 3 points is coming :interscarf::interflag:

I think a lot of players looked exhausted after the Juventus game. It was such an intense game, that takes out a lot and the next game is coming to early for us. If FDB has any sense, this is the time to rotate a lot again. Players who really need a midweek rest are Santon, D'ambrosio, Medel, Candreva, and Eder.

My suggestion would be:

Icardi
Perisic - Jovetic - Brozovic
Kondogbia - Joao Mario
Miangue - Murillo - Miranda - Ansaldi
Handanovic​

look through my posts if you prefer, I don't ever 'boast' about getting a prediction right. Its just a typical shitty game inter will struggle with I think. packed stadium and empoli playing like there's no tomorrow and we have a lot of really fatigued players. It's empoli, so i still expect us to win, but it will be one hell of a fight for those 3 points i think.
