A brace against Lazio incoming

Two shots on goal is too little, but as long as we beat Lazio, it was worth it

Agreed, all is forgiven if we beat that shitty team, we haven't beaten them at olimpico since 2018 ffs when de vrij was with them

That we had so many issues and rotations and still made it through the group is to be celebrated. I was there when we couldn't beat Spurs to move through.

And I repeat, still first in the league. Y'all just becoming irrational because of all the good results lately. We ONLY have two strikers....IN A TWO STRIKER SYSTEM!! We keep losing defenders to long(ish) injuries!!! What more do you want from this squad????
Honestly :lol: It feels relatively obvious that the goals for this season are Scudetto, Coppa Italia if we can, and Ro16 UCL. Everything else is a massive bonus.

I didn't have much issue with the starting line-up, but moreso taking off Thuram. I think that's what killed us.

Inzaghi knows the starters cannot perform at a high-level when playing every 3 days. We saw that last time around when the starters played against Benfica and we had no energy 3 days later at home against Bologna.

Exactly

It’s a bonus if we get any further, but better we don’t because we frankly don’t have the depth for it, the more resources we have to allocate to CL the less we have for the Scudetto race, let’s not forget Juve can entirely concentrate on Serie A

Another reason to get a striker in the winter mercato. Thuram or even Sanchez should have been given 15-20mins with Martinez.

Arna was useless and has been the case, whenever I have watched him this season (yes, recently back from injury but seems to be useless).

Now, lets hope for a win in the weekend and a better draw for the knockout phase.🤞🤞

Bayern Munich (20% winning chance)
Real Madrid (20)
City (30)
A. Madrid (40)
Barca (50)
Arsenal (50)
PSG (50)
Dortmund (50)

I hope it is either Barca, Arsenal, PSG or Dortmund.

We will probably have to play a tournament contender in the R16 more likely than not. We should have won this group on paper, but Sociedad had a great campaign; you have to give them some credit. It is what it is. You want to be the best you have to beat the best. Poor game management here from Inzaghi, both today and in Lisbon. We didn’t need to rotate as heavily as we did in these matches, but I suppose we are top of serie A as well..

Do you guys want to win the Scudetto or not…. If you want to win it you prioritise it over the CL that is after all how you win it.

We don’t have the team to play on two fronts no Italian team has.

Today result is understandable. We are tired after a bunch of difficult matches.

Benfica game was something that should be avoided. Conceding 3 goals even with rotations was reckless.

I’m honestly really disappointed about the approach from Inzaghi. I get wanting to prioritize the Scudetto but there is prioritizing and then there is what we saw tonight.

Do we think that making our road tougher in the CL will play out better for us in the long term? Just so we can be rested against a mid table Lazio?

Now when we get a big team in the next round we have signed ourselves up for two extremely tough midweek matches at a time where our rivals will most likely already be out of Europe completely. Now imagine we have City/Bayern/Real added to our schedule between Serie A fixtures.

It just doesn’t make sense to me. Unless we’re just saying we’re also going to rotate heavily in the knockouts. If I have to watch Sanchez or Arnautovic starting against a top European team I really might lose my mind.

I get wanting the Scudetto, but the money you can get from a deep CL run is equally important to this team imo. It’s what kept us from having to sell a big player just to cover our losses last year. If we win the Scudetto is that really going to have the same effect?

I'm afraid of March's City, yes
We must always be afraid of city. They can destroy each team in the world if they have a good day. For example Real Madrid last season.. the only good draw i can think off is dortmund and maybe this pathetic barca ar the moment. If we draw atletico it would be a disastrous game with simeone’s style of play.

Don't have one.

As it should be. All you need to do is look at our bench strikers. You don't bring sanchez and arna and expect to fight in all fronts.

Sounds like an interesting topic, that hopefully will be explored in the next Inter jections, by Jove!
