Italian Serie A 2022/2023

[ElDuccio]

I'll pick Lautaro any day of the week. Always there when it matters and even when he doesn't score, he can still be decisive for the team. Besides, he has great numbers on his shoulder and it will only get better ahead of the season.

 

[DiegoMilito22]

We're below a Europa league level Juve with half their squad injured. Hahaha.

 

[Besnik]

Great of you to judge him individually in a game where the whole team collapsed and looked like a bunch of losers.

Bro Lautaro is 25, Osimhen is 23. Lautaro doesn’t excel at anything while Osimhen got speed, incredible movement, very good finisher and can also head the ball amazingly well.

Lautaro is good but Osimhen is on a completely different level

 

[Besnik]

Difference of age between Lautaro and Osimhen is very close, but the latter one came as a high-profile transfer in Napoli, meanwhile Lautaro came as a long-term solution so his playing time was very limited in his first season. And you're so wrong about Lautaro not exceling at anything, in fact, Lautaro has better attributes than Osimhen IMO.

Like what kind of different level are you talking about? Osimhen is for sure a great player, but Napoli as a whole is very creative team and they tend to score a bunch of goals in every match. Meanwhile Inter is going through hell atm and we are too limited in attacking phase. Football is a team sport you know... there are many factors to be included when judging a team's run of succees or failure.

Lautaro gets too much hate for not being a Messi in every match. I mean, historically Interisti are pretty harsh and impatient when it comes to delivering. If it was a situation where a player is sucking balls for a long period of time, then okay, but come on, Lautaro has been doing nothing but an amazing job ever since joined and we have to appreciate that.

We are just unfortunate to not have a proper coach, because the core of this team is great.

What does Lautaro excel at?

 

[ADRossi]

What does Lautaro excel at?

Pressing is the only acceptable answer.

 

[Besnik]

What does Lautaro excel at?

Scoring goals, creating chances, getting himself into opportunities, assisting. He's exactly how a striker should be. There is plenty of room for improvement, but he has been fantastic on his adventure with Inter so far.

Victor scores tons for Nigeria too. Nigeria are hardly a creative side...
I like Toro but he is not at Victor's level. Goes through too many goal droughts during a season.

Lautaro still has better numbers on his shoulder even if you compare with Osimhens since his arrival in Serie A.

Lautaro has been pretty effective with Argentina as well, and the opponents he gets to play are far superior to Osimhen's Nigeria for example. I mean, no point of comparing these things but if you put Lautaro in this side of Napoli, he would do wonders.

The actual numbers disagree.

Since Victor started playing in serie a he has 22 goals in 2718 minutes. A goal every 110 mins.
Toro 27 goals in 3375 minutes. A goal every 125 minutes.

 

[Besnik]

I don't know where you get these numbers but you are incorrect. Since Osimhen's arrival in Serie A to this day:

Lautaro: 44 goals, 9 assists
Osimhen: 32 goals, 7 assists

Osimhen: 32 goals, 7 assists

I think Osimhen missed months due to his Skriniar-caused injury in 2020 and then some other stretches of games last season.

 

[Alex de Large]

I didn't gave up on scudetto chances until now. But there is still a good scenario that may happen:
Napoli wins Serie A above Milan and Ruventus. Inter enters the top4 and CL qualify. Napoli-Milan-Inter-Roma (hopefully not Ruve)
in CL: Inter makes it into semifinals, beating Milan/Tottenham/Napoli in 1/4's-
Next year we are 2seed on CL draw. Unfortunately we don't have money to fix squad problems and we still start Dzeko and Mikitarian.....

 

[Besnik]

In all honesty, I don't think we should have any problem at getting into the CL zone even though we suck balls in these matches against top teams of the league, but I'm sure eventually we will get our shit together. That may be too late in the Scudetto race as we are too far behind, but as for top4 we should be fine. We are capable of doing better than likes of Lazio, Roma and Atalanta, but the problem is our team needs to quit being naive.

Let's remain constructive though. Our team is too moody. In our best day we are able to outplay any team out there, even beyond Italian football, but the problem is that our coach still think he's at Lazio.

Hopefully recent Marotta's words in the media are gonna have an impact and a reaction from the team because we seriously need to reflect in this area. We cannot afford to drop points like nothing. I don't remember the last time Inter had such a terrible record of losing every tough duel.

 

[Il Drago]

For me the only way to salvage this season is a top 4 finish, reaching at least CL quarterfinals and winning SuperCoppa or Coppa in order not to finish season trophyless.

If we fail to qualify to CL then not even CL semifinals could make up for it.

 

[Besnik]

I have pretty low expectations in CL though, same goes in the league, it's not like we are gonna do big things anyways, but at least getting into top4 would be the most realistic and achievable thing considering situation we are in.

We need to see out the season at top 4 then get a coach who knows how to make three world class defenders actually defend

There's no coach who can deliver while we have shitty owners like now.

 

[.h.]

Right. Because having three top/world class centre backs is a problem of the owners not the coach? E.g. not conte who did a pretty amazing job with the back line?

If our defense was ranocchia, Silvestre, campagnaro, we could talk. But it isn't. Probably two of the only 7? CBs in the world worth more than 60m in that backline. I expect much better.
