Harambe could, if it was still alive today. RIP.

R.I.P.

I wonder if we'll ever see a Medel-Miranda CB partnership and Banega-J.Mario in front of them

At this point it might be worth giving it a chance. Murillo has been shite the last couple of matches.

 

[Pimpin]

as has been miranda, I dont know why people are giving him a pass.. he has been awful

 

[Glass box]

Everyone sucked at least in one occasion.
I know Brozo being a dick recently and all, but I hope he really apologized and FDB finally puts him in, had 2 good assists for NT last night. He is desparately needed right now. He has a wrong approach of proving so tbf.

 

[Bluenine]

We need a big win to boost morale. Maybe an all out attacking 4-4-2 will not be a bad idea at home against Cagliari. Give Icardi a partner upfront (Jojo?), with Perisic and Candreva supplying width and crosses. Lets try a creative midfield of Banega-Mario. That should give us enough passing ability to impose our game and take control.

But its unlikely, FDB will want the extra Medel protection for the defence.

We now have some players who can create goals... Maybe when we start scoring, we will score in bucketloads!

We can always hope. I hope FDB changes to a 2 striker format, and gives Jovetic a proper chance.

What is a 2 striker format? A lopsided variation of the 433/4231 were currently playing? A 442 in either flat 4 or diamond midfield? 352?

As you know there are many 2 striker formations, even though most are not popular these days. I just feel we are missing out by not trying out a Icardi-Jovetic partnership, which could improve them both. The basic logic is that Icardi is not very mobile, and everyone has realised that if they mark him out of the game Inter will struggle to score. Having someone like Jovetic playing next to him with create more space for Icardi. On the other hand, I still have faith in Jovetic's talent. FDB is discouraging him from holding on to the ball too long, and if he starts passing a bit earlier, he can be lethal in himself. Jojo has the talent to create and score goals out of nothing, but I don't think he is a lone striker anymore - he is now more of a fantasista, the creative one who plays off the centerforward.

Looking at Inter's squad, there are two formations that come to mind. Both are a bit aggressive, which can be tried against smaller teams.

1. 4-4-2/4-2-3-1

Icardi
Perisic - Jovetic - Candreva
Banega - Mario
Santon - Murillo - Miranda - Ansaldi
Handanovic​

2. 3-5-2 and its variations thereof:

Icardi - Jovetic
Perisic - Mario - Banega - Brozovic - Candreva
Murillo - Medel - Miranda
Handanovic​

Yes, I have deliberating made the attacking choice of players. You can always make them more defensive by changing a player or two.

 

[Dylan]

I'd almost prefer Palacio to create space for Icardi. Even if he has forgotten how to finish his movement is better.

 

[Ronin]

Who knows, maybe Gabigol can be the new Palacio.

your first formation is my favourite one. defensively it's quite fragile but we've been showing a significant increase on ball possesion and attacking movement. under FDB we dont seem to prepare much in defending. we even attack aggresively against roma and rube. why dont we just accentuate this style by playing Jovetic? knowing FDB so far i'm quite sure he'll experiment with it.

Premium Sport's new journalist for Inter.

P.s. Poor Icardi having to see her everyday after waking up with Wanda...

I can fucking finally write a probable formation for the game

INTER (4-2-3-1). Handanovic; Ansaldi, Miranda, Murillo, Santon; Joao Mario, Medel; Candreva, Banega e Perisic; Icardi.

La Repubblica's guess and I expect nothing else tbh.

 

[Wobblz]

Black hair, blue eyes... a fitting appointment.

What's her name?
