Empoli - Inter (21 Sep 16) [0-2]

[JJM]

Empoli are struggling hard...to score
They lost their first two games against Samp 0-1 and Udinese 0-2,won 2-1 against Crotone and drew 0-0 against Torino yesterday.
So they only managed to score against a lonely Crotone...
Their threat is Saponara as trequartista buy with players like Zielinski,Paredes,Tonelli and some others who left last season they struggle to make scoring chances
Macarone is getting old and clumsy(Palacio style)
Their two goals were scored by their 2 CB's with a headed goal.. Probably corners or long FK's
Their regista is loanee Jose Mauri from.Bbilan and their colpo di mercato was Gilardino,also Puciarelli caused us some trouble last time around...

We should win this one without even conceading but we are Inter and our FB's are mediocre af

 

[Batman]

Imp this is a real test. We usually get carried after a huge win and then lose deservedly the very next game against a small team. Lets how determined we'll gonna be for this game.

 

[Provenzano]

Provenzano opened the thread. Of course we are gonna struggle.

If we don't win I will never open game thread again... I swear!

 

[surripere]

We should beat Empoli & I expect we will. I watched them away to Torino, they're not great, Hart only had one save to make. They're organised & know what they're at, but have no real quality accept Saponara, he's not in good form though.

Lots of critical decisions de Boer has to make for this match. Banega suspended, who to replace him? Fitness of the players is already shite with the the team playing a match almost every 3 days so rotation is a must, what formation to play or more precisely what is the most effective one to get the best out of the players he opts to put on the field (those who are fresh).

Dare I say it but this match weighs heavily on how our 1st half of the season will look like. Get 3 points here and the belief of the players will only grow stronger and with all of the aforementioned circumstances they will surely trust de Boer a hell of a lot more than they already do which could only be a positive.

I hope Jovetic features and has a big impact too.

Straight up replacing Banega with Kondogbia is a fantastic way to play like shit. de Boer isn't an idiot though, and I can't imagine he would do that and expect the same results. No Palacio or Biabiany please.

 

[Jassa]

+1

I think Jovetic is the only replacement for Banega,maybe Gabigol,if we just go YOLO and attack them with a 4 4 2 formation.

This would be a perfect game for Brozovic to play with Joao Mario, too bad he's acting like an idiot right now.

 

[Ronin]

I think J. Mario can replace Banega while Kondogbia can replace J. Mario.

 

[surripere]

The simple fact is no one can replace Banega.

 

[tanorini]

I back jovetic starting this , either as the amf or even better if we play 4-4-2 mario can be a trequartista infact I remember he said this was his best position but I dont want melo to start with kondogbia since its unnecessary we should try to play the fresh ones who won't play in the europa league but we shiould be careful not to lose quality while doing that biabiany palacio and co shouldnt start anything.

 

[Wallace]

Kondogbia is a really defensive alternative to Banega.

I don't like it at all, not against Empoli, they are going to sit back and park a big bus in front of their goal. We really need something special up front, Jovetic is my choice.

My Friend and I watched the match and talked about the sending of Ever, and what option do we really have, I thought of having Jovetic op there I think he will be very well positioned up there. If Brozo didnt do the stupid mistake after the sub in the EL game then he would most likely. I will like to intreduce Gabi second half where Eder will come of as a sub so we have decent option upfront.

 

[Alex de Large]

I would play

Medel
Candreva - J. Mario - Perisic
Icardi - Eder


It's fucking Empoli.

 

[Ed.]

We need a little bit of rotation this match because we're gonna play 2x a week and that will be for 3 weeks in a row with Roma at the end. I know Roma is not in a good state, but I wouldn't want us run out of fuel before meeting them. A 4-0 gangbang win against Roma before the International break will be :datass:

 

[Doffy]

well, we cant say juventus is stronger than us anymore. we'v all seen it, we are class. even santon is doing good lately. just find a replacement for dambrose and cl here we come.

was loling hard when fdb picked miangue and santon in front of naga. this is how it must be done

 

[danz]

Is gabigol available for this match?

 

[tanorini]

Is gabigol available for this match?

Yes he will get called but he mite not play.

 

[Deva]

Curious to see how we handle a smaller team like Empoli, especially after a good performance against Juve.
Hope to see the same desire to fight and win as before, independent of who the opponent is, or how big the stage is. Also, hopefully FDB plays Jovetic. Would be nice to watch a game and feel like we can score with other means than "Icardi"...

 

[Universe]

I think J. Mario can replace Banega while Kondogbia can replace J. Mario.

But who will guard the guardians?

It's fucking Empoli.
