Fiorentina - Inter (28 Jan 24) [0-1]

already said that but i like to remind you everyone with what kind of players Juve playing and still fighting for the scudetto. Cahla or not, no excuses please.

So far, alegri masks their inadequacies really well. Inzaghi on some level needs to start doing the same. Between tiredness, important players missing, this will be the right match to do it. Basically needs to see what asllani offers compared to hakan and what fratessi offers compared to barella and make proper adjustments.

Juve have been nurturing them with 1500-2000 minutes, each, last season, so they aren't immature despite their younger age. Can't say the same for Asllani.

Yup that's our fault too but you can't say Juve wins with kids so we should. Hakan and Barella missing at the same time is going to be a huge problem.

Most of Juve's younger players they've introduced recently have experience in Serie C level, Serie B level, some even Serie A.

its not exactly what i mean. Im saying that you can't say for example that Frattesi is shit compared to Miretti Nicolussi Caviglia or maybe even Locatelli. They have a lot of mediocrity in the team but they still manage to win games thanks to the individual quality of some players. It should be the same for us. Yes, without Bastoni, Cahla and Barella the quality is missing. But there are still players like Dima and Lautaro. If this team struggles winning game when 1-2 important players are missing, then it's a big problem. We have an improved bench this year, it should be enough. No team has stars on their bench, you can't improve more then that. Only good strikers are missing, but its anyway a good bench.

Nicolu Caviglia was benched at Salernitana and didnt played a lot until some month ago. Juve still managed to win when he was starting.

This game will say a lot about this season. I don't care how we play, just win. When Lautaro and Dima was missing, we draw against Genoa with the excuse that they are too important. + Sanchez/Arna is shit, which is anyway true. But with Lautaro playing, Dima, i still expect something to happen upfront there. Cahla missing in the defensive part could become a problem, also with Miky and Acerbi that are risking a heart attack. Its gonna be important to drop back when its necessary. Sometimes i wish we could play Allegri style instead off going offensiv and conceding too much....

Chiesa is a bench player for them. Milik too. So basically their attack is not off when Vlahović and Yildiz come out. Meanwhile we are stuck with comedy duo upfront. The thing is that they can replace two or three players during the game and it is enough for them, cause they play every seven days. They are not tired. Meanwhile, we have CL and had that idiotic tournament in Arabia. We need to rotate more than them. So far our subs didnt proved to good enough.

Sure, the offensive is better. But if we talk about the midfield they are playing 50% of the season with some bunch of clowns, and still win. Even when Rabiot was missing the last games. They still know how the win with their Allegri football. Our team is like a clock, you take away something and it stops working.

Well if you are right then our way is not good enough and it wont bring us scudetto.

Without Calhanogu we got 2 draws and a loss this season, so good luck.

the ol’ Brozovic syndrome is still around I see.

We have an improved bench this year, it should be enough.

But do we? I'm a fairly stupid person so the chances of me overlooking something are very high, but I see this a lot around Inter circles - "our depth has improved" "we have a deeper bench now", etc. - and, like, am I missing something? We have names on a piece of paper, our midfield and forward depth is genuine crap. The only area on the field where we can have an injury or two and be able to mostly replace without a drop off in play is with our CBs and WBs.

 

[bubba zanetti]

Nico Gonzales is also back.

We have the best midfield in the league right now. You can't have 4 starting forwards too. We are much better team than the last year, no question about it.

Massive game for frattesi & asllani. Time to swim or sink.

Name a better 4th midfielder then frattesi, he would start for all other Serie a sides.
Midfield & defense has good depth.
Strikers is were the issue is.

Fio are without Dodo, Castrovilli, Biraghi and Kuoame. The main threat is Nico Gonzales perhaps. Fio are not doing great in the last 3-4 games. Dont know why we are so pessimistic.
its not like we are playing against Napoli or Juve.

 

[Jnr]

Mikhy gonna play deeper tomorrow and babysit . Close to Asllani at all times.

Without Calha, we absolutely need Bastoni's creativity. He must start.

If we can win in Florence, we will gain huge momentum before Rube. Even without Nico and turk, there's no stopping of our front 2.

Lautaro will bring it home.

Asllani starting as a regista against the 4th placed team in Italy, despite hardly playing at all, is a bit of a worry. If he had been getting more game time and shown positive signs, I wouldn’t be so concerned, but there is no Calha or Barella to bail him out. He needs to step up big time here.
