We all know what should be done. I think even Spalletti knows what needs to be done (I hope he does; if he doesn't that's even a bigger problem) but he is hesitating. He is trying so damn hard to make his tactics work the same way they did at the beginning of the season. We need to reshuffle the team, fresh tactics, fresh strategy. Think of it as if we got a new coach if you will.

I don't understand why Spalletti just doesn't do it. Maybe he is afraid to ruin the work he's done so far and change of tactics end up being even worse? But what's worse than this?!! Anything would be better than this! He is trying to avoid the inevitable. It's not going to work and he needs to realize this while the season is still salvageable.

Please just let go, start afresh. Whatever worked at the beginning of the season is not working and will never work! Change! How long are you going to keep doing the same shit over and over again without a result?!

So giving Karamoh a starting chance...is not enough,giving Pina time isn't enough...what should he then do?! tell me...please...because nothing that he does is working!
He sent Candreva to the left...he gave a chance to everyone...changed to 4-3-1-2 a couple of times...mid games! we change formations mid games if you notice...

our player are just not fit mentally and lack the skills...well the majority of them anyway...and then those who are actually are good enough get dragged down with the rest of the ship!

I don't understand why he insists Icardi is better when playing alone upfront, when we've seen him partnering up nicely with Palacio. It's one thing to say you don't have the personnel to pull that off (i.e., "I don't trust Éder"), but quite another to say Icardi next to somebody else doesn't work in abstract. He should try it sometimes in second half, specially when Icardi is browsing the match on private mode.

I remember reading about him trying Candreva as trequartista in trainings. I honestly don't remember if he tried that in a match or not. Would be nice to maintain Candreva away from the wing, I doubt he'd be much worse than Borja Valero and at least we'd be spared from his constant crossing.

Dalbert has yet to show his full self. We all know he seems to be a little shell-shocked from having so many defensive duties, so why not give him a bit more freedom to do what he supposedly does best. Dalbert on the left, partnering up with Perisic (who does his fair share of defensive work), and D'Ambrosio and Cancelo on the right (one more defensive-oriented, the other free to attack).

The squad is limited and not as talented as so many thought during our good run, but there are still options Spalletti could pursue. I just don't know what the fuck is so special about 4-2-3-1 with Borja Valero as AM, that's all.

Spalo is good this season..

He build Skriniar and Cancelo to become one of the best in Serie A.

But Unlucky, we already had so many deadwood, who can't be revived like Santon, Ranocchia, and Nagatomo.

If i become Spalo, our team key player are Icardi, Handanovic, Miranda, Skriniar, Perisic, Cancelo and Rafinha.

Candreva, Valero, and Vecino are rotation player at the best.

I will loan Dalbert and Gagliardini to regain confidence, because they are infected Inter Virus.

Sell Brozovic because bad attitude, if he want stay, he should change attitude.

At last we must replace D'ambrosio, Valero, Candreva and Vecino from starting line up.

Because they are rotation player at the best.. if we want become good team.

And buy Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG or Manchester City bench or youngster, because they are fucking good.
They are bench player because the first team are world class player. So I think if they come, we can get world class talent.

Listen, nobody saying LS is a bad coach. He just cannot turn the bad result around. When your same tactic and formation doesnt work for certain amount of games, you should try other option. This option including play some youngsters if required , but he was too scared to do that. The one irritated me alot was he was so persistent with his player selection which obviously didnt work and he failed to realise.

I think Spalletti has tried a lot of options, he has been quite flexible with his tactics in recent games. No coach is 100% flexible, they all have some tactics/style that they cannot change. Some are very rigid (e.g. Mancini, Pep) about what kind of players they want for their tactics, some are less rigid (e.g. Ancelotti, Allegri) about specific type of players. Personally I think Spalletti is closer to the less rigid category. But even the least rigid ones are not 100% flexible i.e. they also need a few specific type of players. Spalletti is no different - from what I have seen of his previous teams, I can understand why he was so desperate for Nainggolan for example.

What Inter have done here is got Spalletti promising him the world (i.e. #InterIsComing), and then taken away the budget from under his feet. So not only does Spalletti not have the type of players he needs to develop a team that makes his tactics work, he also has a very thin squad with few tactical options. He initially did well by just continuing Pioli's Inter with better organisation, but once that team was found out, Spalletti is just trying out different tactics in desperation because there are no options. The problem at Inter is that some people are expecting a perfect coach who does not make any mistakes, someone who can get consistent results with random players who don't suit his style. That coach unfortunately does not exist. So we just keep scapegoating and sacking every coach.

People here complain about not using 4-3-1-2 in the last few games, but with Rafinha not ready to start, who the fuck can Spalletti play behind the strikers? Brozovic? He has been shite as AM. Valero? Please, no!

we can't count on a sophisticated gameplan, but we have a decent amount of technique on the attack and we have two talented midfielders like brozovic and rafinha. so we should use two midfielders for the dirty work (vecino, then either gagliardini or valero), then i'd say brozovic (or rafinha) as a trequartista.

We have already tried Brozovic as an AM multiple times, and it all depends on his mood. It rarely works, most of the time he is just fucking around. Maybe when Rafinha is ready to start, this might be an option.

The last thing we need right now is a new manager,. Especially while we are on a shit run of form.. can the people who are rooting for Spalleti to be sacked , please nominate a better replacement who is currently eligible to take over ?
I am seriously curious?

during last match i said marco materazzi. and i confirm it. we don't even need a coach now, more like someone who with his charisma can hold the pieces together for four months.

it's not like i want spalletti sacked, but if i had to judge by the last two months and his lineups, i would think he's begging for it. i don't see any reaction, no improvements. and after our only victory in this period, he reverses back to the old gameplan. i really don't understand him anymore.

i would be more than glad to see spalletti prove me wrong. let's start with beating benevento in san siro, baby steps but it would already be something.

Look at AC with Gattuso. The guys love playing for him and it shows. He is one of the lowest paid coaches in the league, and this goes to show you don't need a big wig to come in and run the show. The guys at least played well for Vecchi when he was caretaker for a brief stint. Materazzi, Vecchi, or another unknown with Inter roots.

I like the idea as Candreva as AM atleast he can run.

Candreva was very good at AM for Lazio but we signed him when he is way past his prime.

Don't you think it is better to take Materazzi as an assistent coach rather to be headcoach. I'll think with Spalletti and Materazzi you got the right mix in terms of character and leadership. Spalletti could be above the team like he should and Materazzi could stand between the players and kick the shit out of someone like Brozovic during 11 vs 11 on the training ground.

Some media reports today that Spalletti may resign at the end of the season because he is very disappointed in the management board of Inter. It would be a shame because I can't think of someone who would do better and also is available.

i don't know which idea is better, but we certainly must do something and right now, i can't possibly think of someone better than materazzi at inter. let's bring him in and let him kick some asses for good.

Didn’t Materazzi insult Ausilio? I’m pretty sure there is some tension there. Don’t see this happening for that reason

If that is the only reason Ausilio should man up and only think about Inter for now. We don't have the luxury to have this kind of tension. Not in the squad and not in the management team. Nobody is bigger then the club.

But i'm like Nurko also curious what happened between them.
