A bad display, thought Rano was ok, Campagnaro and Cambiasso were great, Handa did his thing, others did a lot of work in the back, but offensivly it just shows again that either our midfield is clueless or our main driving force forward (in this case Alvarez) isn't really a world class passer, but he does get from tight spaces into a scoring chance with his dribbles, I'll give him that, something that Sneijder and similiar probably can't...
Personally, I think our midfield still lack depth. Get rid of Kuzmanovic as he doesnt really fit our team.
Ideally, we should get Nainggolan or someone similar, and we rotate him with Guarin and Taider. Both of them looked completely drained out at 60 minute mark, we will have a tough time keeping the intensity with CL Next year.
And Jonathan's work rate isnt quite enough on the right, he is good, but not good enough. I think we will need to recall Schelotto some time and reintegrate him into the squad. He is the perfect man for Mazzarri.

Actually, I agree with you 100%. I think Schelo would fit Mazzarri's system more, as he is more athletic than Jonathan. I'm sure he could be just as good (aka effective) of a player if used right and given time.
Jonathan was poor again, and his goal (and a few times he positioned himself well in defence) was the only good thing he did the whole match. Fucked up dribbles, passes, too slow with/without the ball,... WE NEED A NEW RWB.
He just pissed off the ones who booed him obviously it was not directed at the whole of the Meazza. And they got what they deserved.
I think u can criticize Guarin after the match, but booing him in the middle of the game is a no-no. If you are at the Meazza, you are at the cheering section, there are no 'hating sections'. The crowd is there for fucking moral support, especially for 'fragile' players like him. Yes, he wasn't good, but I don't want him to be sold by Inter for 4 mil in the winter either. He was important in all our games, it's been 5 games (6 if u count coppa), 4 wins, 1 draw, only 2 goals conceded. Guarin is also a part of this team, and he is doing what Mazzarri told him to do. I just hope we will see a more inspired Guarin soon, even when he isn't a beast in attack, he is important for our midfield. We don't have world class players, but I'm afraid Guaro would spark into life somewhere else...

Some interesting points of the match :
1. Our heroes are our villain
Cambi and Jonathan might score the goal, but the former was pretty much anonymous at defence while the latter was too confident after series of good games
2. Rickrolling Tricky Ricky
MotM hands down. The corner of first goal came from his effort and gave an assist for Jonathan. Showed great defensive responsibility (which is rare for attacking midfielder) and always providing himself as passing target.
3. Compactnaro vs Juan
How many goals would we concede without Campagnaro ? Meanwhile, how many goals would we concede if Juan keeps playing like that ?
4. Down to Earth please
Just like Jonathan suffers overconfidence, so do the Interisti after a good start. Mind that Fio played without Pizzarro, Cuadrado, Gomez, Pasquale injured at min 35, and Montella made a dubious decision by hauling Rossi at very early timing. Despite all of them, Firo still managed to almost grab 3 points at Inter's own turf. The road is still far ahead folks.
5. Authoritative and reactive
Mazzari made the right decision to introduce Icardi and Kovacic into the game, but that's after Inter trailed behind Fio. Playing at home against half-strength Fio should urge Mazzari to be more proactive to the game. It was the situation where he dictated the game, not waiting the disaster happened first.
