I understand the skepticism and poor morale given the recent few matches but I'm 100% confident that we are steamrolling Sassuolo.

Inter's appeal for Bastoni was rejected. He's still suspended against Sassuolo.
How have Marotta’s mystical controlling powers failed us here!

Sensi play 2 x 90 minutes in Sampdoria.

I just feel Inzaghi not trust Sensi just like Conte trust Eriksen in first months he come.
Yeah,that "he can't play 30 minutes" thing was always a pure bullshit.


We kind of shoot ourselves in the foot here and that was clear to me from the beginning (while also acknowledging that loan can be great thing for him). He is perfect midfielder to have and I hope he is back and ready for next season. We need new midfielder and still another one if both Vidal and Vecino are out (and hopefully Gagliashit also).

Is Correa fit? I would put Correa Caicedo upfront. Cant be worse than Dzeko and 007 combo.

Just a few thoughts:

I have been struggling since the result against Milan.

However, I have still been following our progress. What stands out for me right now is that we need a convincing display and three points against Sassuolo. Even though the results have not been terrible against Atalanta, Milan and Napoli, the displays have not been overly convincing. We need a commanding performance against Sassuolo and need to play a full 90 minutes without giving up the game and three points. It is a major sticking point at the moment and this is what our priority needs to be in this game: no playing for only 74 minutes, no conceding shit easy goals, and no dropping of heads when we concede.

Another thought I have had relates to the way Inter are and have been spoken about recently. Alot of commentators have been complimentary of how we have been playing but I honestly feel that their comments and views are about eight weeks off the pace. The team that they have been talking about is the team that finished as Winter Champions, not the team that returned after the break. The worst part is that I feel our players or the team are starting to believe what is being written about them which is not serving us and our defence of the championship.

There is a real disconnect in relation to the way commentators are talking about Inter and the way that Inter are performing on the field. Inzaghi is at a crucial juncture of the season. He needs to steer the team with confidence. We need to block out all the noise, distractions and hype. What happens in the Champions League is irrelevant. Our season hangs on winning Serie A and the team needs to start performing if we are to have any hope down the home stretch because right now, it feels like our competitors are in better shape than we are.

It is time for Inter to get back on track and play as the Champions of Italy rather than a banter era throwback.

I like how that's phrased. "Rest will be given" to Dzeko. Just conjures up images of water being given to a dying man.

Anyway, despite Brzovic's difficult match against Liverpool (quite frankly I thought he was atrocious), we may struggle without him here. Hopefully we can grab an early goal because this team has got to be feeling the pressure from just 1 win the last 4 games. We joke about crisi Inter and all that but fail to win here and it really will be fucking crisi Inter.

Considering we will be without Bastoni and Brozovic in this match, Dimarco definitely needs to start.

Lolitaro must step up his game if he want to stay here. Its ironic 36 years old Dzeko outmatch him in every aspect.

Would you rather have Hakan in Brozo's position or Barella / Gagliardini? I'm on the fence. Somehow I'd rather see Hakan playing there when we build the attack and Gags when we defend, but I'm a fan of Gags in attack at all.

Definitely Barella. Hakan would be a complete waste as a regista. He has good passing but he isn't a playmaker, he's defensively sound but not strong enough to play in front of defense with Inzaghi setting the midfield a lot higher than Conte and he's a lot more dangerous on final third.

Gagliardini has been terrible whenever he was used as #6. He's a very limited box to box, not a DM.
