Juventus - Inter (13 Feb 11)

[Choppin Onions]

Why isnt leonardo using all 3 subs btw.

He hardly ever does that, i know there isnt exactly abundance of great players waiting to make a different on our bench, but seriously wtf is up with only using 2 subs every game.

Becaus he's a terrible tactician. Go see what Milan fans think of him abilities as a manager. Great motivator but one of the worst tactically in mind.

I don't even have anything positive to say about this game. Inter once again play like scared little puppies against Rubentus. It's pathetic that this club, who's won so many trophies in the last 5 years still give the Old Whore so much respect. Kharja, Motta and Cuchu were beyond dreadful. Especially Motta who mis-hit almost every pass. And I never wanna see Cordoba and Frog play together again if it can be helped. Their communication is terrible.

With 10 minutes still to go I would have subbed either motta or zanetti or even cordoba for coutinho. We needed attacking options and coutinho was an option to run at a tiring defence.

Hell, even Obi could do more than Pandev. We all know dude can dribble.

Zanetti was not coming out, nor were we going to play with 3 defenders. I guess this is just me and Leonardo having one view (that Motta was a better option than Coutinho) and you having another.

What's the point of having 4 defenders agains 1 and ½ strikers?

Seen mou play with 3 defenders at inter on quite a few occasions by throwing on a extra forward/attacking midfielder when needing a goal. Don't see how it would hurt in this instance seeing as we are behind and time is running out...Losing 1-0 or 2-0 makes very little difference imho...

Motta was terrible this game. We wouldnt have lost anything by bringing on Cou for him in the last 10-15 minutes.

I guess we weren't watching the same game because we were still giving up quality chances to an injured Matri.

We had nothing to lose having 3 defenders... the attack was poor for this game.

 

[JJM]

Not the end off the world if we lost, fuck it we didn't have no luck at all today and they played like there is no tomorrow, we should have too but we get very small sometimes in this situations just a mental problem of ours i guess,especially against rube...like we were afraid of them...but it ain't lost,the scudetto race i mean and because i have great faith bbilan will fuck up soon...against Napoli for starters

And we lost to them last season at their ground but we went for the top and they got ZERU TITULI

 

[La Bling]

And Coutinho would have done nothing. We all saw him the last game. Completely ineffective. He is good when he has a lot of space to dribble and take his time passing. There was zero space in this game.

And no, we did have something to lose with 3 defenders. Another goal. And don't say there's no difference between 2-0 and 3-0. With ten minutes left as some of you have suggested, there's a huge difference between 2-0 and 1-0.

Disappointing appearance, Campionato is over.

Do you get extra points for losing only 1-0... We aren't going to finish level with juve so head to head makes very little difference. Going for a win was needed.

Coutinho was poor the previous game but when you are behind you are throw on your best attacking option, in this case he was it.

 

[Suneet]

Cou would have added pace and maybe a fresh mind and also drawn out one of their defenders from our strikers.... or if Cou played deeper, maybe a little more space for Sneijder. He deserved a shot, maybe then Motta woudnt have got the yellow or I woudnt have to endure another Pandlevon d'or performance.

Mancini used to do it too and sometimes it actually worked. This is a league game and like you said no difference whether you loose by a goal or two.

This game definitely changes my judgement on Leo, I agree with you, what a poor tactician!

What I'm saying is with 10 minutes left,you shouldn't go all in. Think about corner kicks. When there's no time left, a team may push its keeper up because if the other team scores, the game is literally over. No team starts pushing their keeper up with 10 minutes left. (Obviously an extreme example, but they don't even push a keeper up with 5 minuts left). If we take off a defender with Juventus still threatening and they score with 10 minutes left, we have no chance. However, we can still salvage points if we are only 1-0 down. If Eto'o put that chance away, we wouldn't be having that discussion. The only legitimate complaint about the last 10 minutes is against Eto'o.

Also, it would be more like playing with 1 defender than 3. Yuto was at midfield and Maicon was near the box.

inter's remaining games:-

brescia, cesena, fiorentina, samp, napoli, parma (A)
cagliari, catania, chievo, fiorentina, genoa, lazio, lecce (H)

milan's remaining games:-

brescia, chievo, fiorentina, juventus, palermo, roma, udinese (A)
bari, bologna, cagliari, napoli, samp (H)

on paper, we will only lose points against napoli, while milan will realistically be expected to drop points against roma juve palermo and udinese, so the team should just focus on the upcoming games and not drop points against the weaker sides because inter's schedule is MUCH easier than milan's who have been dropping points during their "easy stretch"

and those who have been complaining that leo should make 3 subs, there is literally no possible 3rd sub that would not have crippled the team, but lucio and deki are finally going to be back so we should expect that 3rd sub very soon

 

[Suneet]

It was a gamble, what if he would create space/fluke chance? The odds of that were higher since Jube were tired and not really looking to attack just kicking the ball out of play.
