Inter - Roma (29 Oct 23) [1-0]

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

We should have won this by at least 4 clear goals but I will happily take the +3 at the end of the day.

What happened right after the end of the match? Seems like Thuram was having a quarrel with Roma players.

Everything aside, I'm quite saddened by how mediocre and unmotivated this Roma side has become. Inter-Roma matchup used to be one of most entertaining ones in the calendar.

Our goal was well played out but I was quite shocked by how Ndicka who had a clear sight of Thuram rushing in, just gave up tracking him towards the end. Can someone try to explain the situation...?

From what I've seen Roma players were complaining about why Thuram took the ball and kicked it in the air after the final whistle. Nothing serious really. Happen at the heat of the game.

1. did Lauti even give him hand? it seems his hand is very low
2. I think Barella didn't even touched him
3. Lukaku didn't give high five to Acerbi and his look was hilarious

sad to see the curva apparently were being the little racist pieces of shit that they truly are in their core. why did they choose a club that is called internazionale when they hate people for their skin color? https://www.reddit.com/media?url=ht...pg?s=b292d4a24df3f6f01791ded1e6e461187cfe4ef4 i guess the whistles were distributed so that other sounds would be drowned out?

Love Mou but he should give up on club career after Roma. The quality of his team play is so low that is hard to watch.

I mean they were our opponents and I was actually feeling ashamed of their lack of effort/ideas getting forward. I can't see how Roma fans don't complain more.

How do we know banana is not Lukaku's favorite fruit?

Well, his plan worked pretty much of the game. And they were missing Pellegrini, Smalling, Spina and Dybala. So, imagine us playing away against stronger team in CL (like Bayern) without Dumfries, Hakan, Bastoni and Thuram. Plus we have a good bench options, which Roma lacks. You think we would achieve something there? Mou plan was good and they were close to get the point.

seriously?

Well, it's all about implication of racism, which happens a lot in Italy. I'm wondering why would fans be so stupid to use racist chants and imagery, when they know it's going to hurt the club (and them too). Actually I expected Inter fans to go all out, whistles were the main instrument this time and that wasn't racially charged, but there were still idiots with monkey chants (saw on tiktok videos, it could spell trouble if FIGC finds out)

Our team was fired up enough against Lukaku to not need fans trying to fuck up Lukaku mentally.

14 from 30 possible points so far and beside the games against us and Milan they only played weaker sides.

Their roster is crap. One player from starting eleven injures himself and they have no proper replacement. Cant be compared with our roster.

All of the players you mentioned played in games against weaker sides than Roma lost or achieved only a draw.

And beside that: Isn't a trainer also responsible for the roster?

This Roma also beat Empoli 7 - 0. Roma is the Bayern of Serie A. Serie A joke of a league. Shut it down, shut it all down!

This Roma is only as good as it is because of Mourinho. Pretty much a typical Mou performance against, we just have more quality. Pretty sure Fiorentina and Sassuolo have a better roster than Roma this season.

I've actually read that the whistles were a way of trying to drown out the monkey chants, pretty clever - sad to see it being necessary.

Pleasant win over a pathetic team that wasn't interested in playing football. We haven't been as sharp as usual, but 3pts was crucial thing.

Need both Lautaro and Thuram to work on their chemistry because it isn't working that well. We are winning matches mostly due to their amazing individual ability rather than collectively. I'm not taking away anything that both of them have done very well as a group but if you watch it closely so far, our attack has plenty of room for improvement.

Not going to comment on individual performances, but there's a few players whom are still underperforming.

That pic is not from yesterday.

Don't believe everything you find from Internet.

Look at that picture, you see that Irriducibili ultra group banner? There is no such group in Curva Nord anymore. AFAIK the group is alive but all the ultra groups are united as Curva Nord Milano 1969 when they are in Curva Nord (in Meazza). Thus, that is some old pic.

This was wrong information. The pic is from the match yesterday.

This could have been easily a 3-0 win.

Lukaku was the worst player on the pitch and just for the laughs, Thuram scored the winner.

All papers seem to agree:

Roma striker Romelu Lukaku was the worst player on the pitch against Inter, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport and other Italian sports papers: ‘He got everything wrong.’

The Belgian forward returned to San Siro on Sunday and didn’t receive a warm welcome as Inter fans waited for him with 40,000 whistles, while his former teammates, including Lautaro Martinez, ignored the Belgian in his first game as an opponent against the Benamata.

The Giallorossi suffered a 1-0 loss, seeing Lukaku’s heir at Inter, Marcus Thuram, score the winner in the second half.

La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Fabio Licari was quite harsh on the Chelsea loanee who received the lowest rating alongside Nicola Zalewski. Both players were rated 4.5/10.
‘It could have been the effect of boos or just a bad night, but it’s rare to see such a poor Lukaku performance in Italy. He got everything wrong,’ wrote the Gazzetta dello Sport journalist.

The Belgium international was the worst player on the pitch for Corriere dello Sport as well, although other Roma players were rated 5/10: Zalewski and Rasmus Kristensen.

Corriere dello Sport journalist Pietro Guadagno wrote that Lukaku ‘was affected’ by boos from Inter fans but partially justified the 30-year-old saying that his Roma teammates ‘didn’t help him much.’

Tuttosport wrote that Francesco Acerbi ‘nullified’ Lukaku, who ‘didn’t touch the ball except for a pass to Stephan El Shaarawy.’ Lukaku was rated 4.5/10 by the Turin-based paper.

This only proves Lukaku`s fragile mentality. So glad that Inter didn`t splash 40M on him!
