Inter - Genoa (11 Jan 15) [3-1]

[CafeCordoba]

Wasn't this excited for a long time. We should all pray nothing will go wrong in this match, cause we really need to keep that enthusiasm and the only way it will happen is with a win and not some unlucky draw.

This is even more important with a switch to another formation, that is always tricky. Fingers crossed everything will go our way today, like couple goals on our side in first half, so that in the second we could see #91, Puscas or Bona and maybe M'Villa.

Absolutely. It's clear there is big moment now for this team. Juve draw, specially that the good half for us was the latter one, IMO gave us big boost and now Shaqiri signing boosts this moment even more. Confident win now, and the spring looks much better for us. Football is also a mind game.

Still I'm concerned about the level of our defence.

PROBABILI FORMAZIONI:

INTER (4-2-3-1): Handanovic; Campagnaro, Vidic, Andreolli, D'Ambrosio; Medel, Kuzmanovic; Guarin, Hernanes, Podolski; Icardi.
Panchina: Carrizo, Berni, Donkor, Mbaye, Dodò, M'Vila, Krhin, Obi, Shaqiri, Palacio, Bonazzoli, Puscas.
Allenatore: Mancini.
Squalificati: Juan Jesus (4), Ranocchia (1), Kovacic (1).
Indisponibili: Jonathan, Nagatomo, Osvaldo.

GENOA (3-4-3): Perin; Izzo, Burdisso, De Maio; Edenilson, Rincon, Bertolacci, Antonelli; Iago Falqué, Matri, Kucka.
Panchina: Lamanna, Prisco, Antonini, Rosi, Tino Costa, Mandragora, Sturaro, Lestienne, Fetfatzidis.
Allenatore: Gasperini.
Squalificati: Perotti (2), Roncaglia (1).
Indisponibili: Marchese.

ARBITRO: Russo.

So apparently Kuz was supposed to start with a 4-3-1-2 but I am seeing the suggested formation now and it shows Kuz on the bench with Palacio starting. Wasn't Palacio injured or sick or something? So we are going with 4-2-3-1 with Medel and Guarin as CDMs. I think I like this formation more as it's more attacking.

Last time Inter played 4-2-3-1 was (i think) with Benitez..

Numbers of previous encounters.

Inter under the protection of the Germans, Podolski will start at the San Siro for the first time
Only Muller lost his first game with Inter from the Germans who played for Inter
Luthar Mattheus: The reviving of Inter depends on Podolski and Shaqiri, it's the same as me and Brehem in the late 80s.


And the same pic in Corriere

FRESH AIR IN SAN SIRO
Podolski and Shaqiri triggers excitement among the crowd, more than 35 thousands are expected in today's match.

Gasp: Training Inter was a mistake. It's good that we are ahead of them by 5 points.

I seem to remember he played it a reasonable amount. I dont remember if he changed between tactics a lot or not, but yeah..

He definitely used it a lot in the Primavera, too.

I worried about this game. Inter without kovacic so brainless and Andreoli-Vidic-Campagnaro not convince me. Well, Mancio know what he doing. Forza Inter!! Play Shaqiri please in 2nd half :megusta:

 

[morrisama]

a must fuckin win game

 

[.h.]

is it just me or have we suddenly had a shitload of new members the last few days?

Seeing as how everyone is getting free thanks (Am I supposed to capitalise Thanks?) I may as well join in.

Carrizzo
Jonathan Silvestre Palombo Chivu
Kharja Muntari
Schelotto Forlan Zarate
Rocchi

No thanks for you this time, Mister! You are playing Palombo out of position okerface:

yea, i know. Thats why i worried about this game. Inter desperately need 1 new RB/LB in this winter transfer.

 

[Pipka]

Quite a starting line up.

Let's see how this defense goes though.

I know it won't happen but it would be interesting to say the least if we didin't concede

 

[Devious]

I've been here for nearly a week morri, quit smoking dat shit


I hope they wont ruin the celebration atmosphere tonight, I want to see Pedo and Shakira play tonight but most of all I want a fucken win!

I'm streaming on a shitty PC at work, so dont make worse please.

Forza Inter!
