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.
