No, I enjoyed this game. Personally, this game had everything for me, close to perfect except some flaws.
+Clean sheet, this is the most important part for Inter
+No defensive blunder
+Decent attack
+Spot on substitution
+Transition from older to younger generation
I know our attack is shitty, but that's because we don't have Iniesta-Xavi-Messi, Arteta-Cazorla-Wilshire or Borja-Jovetic-Pizzaro. We only have makeshift central midfielder who has spent his entire career as defensive midfielder and other worker midfielders. Then, why would Inter play like them ? 1-0 is the best score.
If it is come to Inter, I would have 1-0 trollwin like today rather than 3-2 goalfest. 2 most succesful era for Inter come from defensive mindset and such tradition must be continued as long as possible. I would be glad to see another 5 seasons or more with Stramaccioni if he keeps doing this scheme and having trophies.
Yes, I am serious.
1.Just to clarify my point, I always enjoyed the old counter attacking style Inter, but this team is nowhere close to what I used to see. Ofc there are bad times, but I don't remember us having such awful forward and midfield for over 3 years. Maybe the older fans do (fan since 2000).
2.I agree that a clean sheet is the first and most important, but it has nothing to do with my enjoyment. I am the happiest man alive that we won, especially with a clean sheet, but I can't genuinely say that I enjoy watching Inter of last seasons (Ofc there are some exceptional games like in every other team)
3.I agree. Decent attack, but that is not capable of creating thier own chances most of the time, so we must have some good passers to create chances for them.
And without Cassano, our attack looks awful, barely can't create any chances against mid-table teams.
4.You don't need any of these players you mentioned to have a decent midfield. There are plenty better midfielders in the serie a (for example) that cost less than 10% of what we spend in every pre-season marcet. Yet, we don't sign any, and it has been like this for over 3 years.
5.1-0 is never the best score, especially when your defense is shaky. You can't rely on such scores with such defensive and attack ability, we've seen it after Ranieri's troll win run, and we see it now. 1-0 or 3-2 is the same thing, you can win titles either way. If you enjoy watcing troll 1-0 wins with a few shots on target, then that's your own opinion. But It can never be better than a deserved, 1-0 or 2-1 win that could easily turn to 5-2 or 5-3. Because when you're capable of scoring more goals than you'll concede in each game, eventually, you'll not only be the better team on paper but also in the table. Once again, there are exceptionals, not always the better team wins the title. But in league seasons, in the long run, the better team wins the championship MOST of the time.
6.Indeed, our 2 most succesful eras came from defensive mindest, but also good midfield and forward, much better than what we've seen in last seasons, that's for sure.
Also, what has happend in the past belongs to the past, and the books only. The modern football is diff, and apparently, It's harder to stay on top in the long this way.
Teams who pretty much troll win the biggest titles, will NOT stay on top in the long run. There are miracles, but they don't happen constantly.
7.And lastly, I really can't see us winning anything this way. I don't mind Strama as a coach, but we must start working on our midfield and forward that goes from non-existent to dieing.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I'll just say that's my own opinion and just because I think I'm right, it doesn't mean that I am.
Have a good day.

Who art thou kidding Irequis.
It's one thing to enjoy a defensive minded game where two teams take patience and skill to carve out chances. But come on...it's almost how many games in a row now where we can't even create many CLEAR CUT chances. It's fucking embarrassing.
Go look what's happened to the teams we drew at home and lost to away. They've been shithouse. Atalanta, Caglairi etc.
I'm disappointed and let down.
Indeed, just like I said, we can barely create any chances when we have such mediocre midfield (or maybe team in general but I won't go that far), especially against counter-attacking teams like us. The only reason is because we need an open-game to create our chances, and no small team in Italy will come to our home to play attacking football.
Oh and I am glad we're talking about this after winning, especially after winning, because everyone complains@complainers after losing.
lastly, inb4some1 saying we've not had good midfield when we won titles either, then that's because we have had world class forwards who were capable of playing in the midfield too, and creating chances not only for themselves, but also to thier teamates. Milito & Palacio are nowhere close to that nowadays. Cassano is the closest player we have to that but he isn't showing up for every game, even when he can play.
