Manchester City - Inter (10 June 23) [1-0]

[magnesium]

To be honest, our match very positive despite our defeat. We create so many chances, just unlucky not get in. I am positive with some better player than Gagliardini, Correa, and Bellanova we can do better. We already top level club in Europe, never i imagine in 6 years we can get CL final and almost winning it. Credits to Marotta make this team even without budget.

We create our squad from free transfer and loan and plusvalenza. If only we have more budget next season, maybe we can win this.

The most heartbreaking moment for me is when they can sub in Foden and Walker and still have hundreds million worth of players on the bench. Meanwhile our "gamechangers" are Bellanova and Dambro and don't let me start on Correa, Gags, and De Vrij. This is like barehand David versus gunslinger Goliath with a nuclear warhead. It is such a miracle we can reach UCL final and almost beat a monstrous team.

Lautaro should have scored or just pass to Brozo that was coming. He was the player i expected to do something and finally confirming what he is becoming in the last months, a world class striker. Instead it was the Lautaro that we all know, inconsisent, not good enough to be considered one of the best strikers, like Milito was, like for example Haaland is. Yeah Haaland was also bad, but he did not have much space against our defenders.

Did anyone create that chance for Lautaro? You are ignoring that Lautaro ran after that ball which was moving fast and if Ederson wasn't so shaky last night, he would have redeemed the ball before Lautaro could have even reached it. He created that chance by himself, it wasn't something that was produced by some Inzaghi mastermind tactic. You can blame Inzaghi for making all the midfielders focus on defending.

Where is Brozo here? Brozo is well behind and all Lautaro saw was Lukaku who was already marked by two defenders. He tried to curl the ball in which could have gone in, but it didn't. That's football, sometimes you score such miracles, oftentimes not.


We had a far better chance with Barella:




We also had this a decent opportunity when Brozo skied the ball which Lautaro was trying to roll for Barella who was running into it with nobody in front:






See those moments are the result of lacking the experience. Don't blame only Lautaro and close your eyes to others' mistakes. They all wanted to win except for one person.

same for me, when i saw dambro and bellanova coming it was game over.

Damn it I'm sure am not the only who clicked thinking it will start playing..

It is easy to analyze what happened yesterday. Physically we are up there with the biggest teams in the world. Tactically - to me - we have been the best team in Europe this season. Every opponent bar Bayern had a bad game against us, and this cannot be a coincidence. It means that Inzaghi figured them out.

Technically though we are still levels under the best teams in Europe, which basically cost us the win. Our player‘s effort cannot be argued, but the sheer difference in technical quality cannot always be compensated by effort. Only Barella, Bastoni, and Onana are really up there when it comes to the very top of football. The rest is good to great, but not allround.

Nevertheless it was a fantastic journey and even though I am sad about the outcome given the game‘s flow I am very proud of the guys doing what they did.

Well, he could have passed to lukaku. But after the shot you see Brozo coming, he could have waited for him.

Did you even read my post a few pages back? Like seriously... I've given credit to a few parts but a few small decisions, in practice, lost us the game.

As someone else said, inter lost this game, city didn't win it, and that's the real shame. It doesn't take away from the fact that we exceeded manyz including our own, expectations, but maybe 5% difference here and there and we could have won it.

Did you remember what have you posted last night during the game? Every post was spitting and bashing Inzaghi. Whole fucking game. Go and check this thread if you want. And delete them cause its embarrasing.

Yeah like I said he made some mistakes. It still pisses me off now. Dropping lukaku for a grandfather who has scored 3 times since Jan is just a fucking joke. A player on absolute fire then doesn't start him for two cup finals. What a joke.

Anyway I'm done arguing with you. Peace. Don't resort to personal attacks and insults.

Would Ederson wait too?

You are still picking on Lautaro and ignoring other counter arguments. Did anyone create that chance for Lautaro in the first place? Why are you taking Lautaro's effort for granted? What is your say about other opportunities we had, cause you singled out only Lautaro's as if it was the only one.

First of dropping lukaku? Dzeko was our starter arguably all year and for sure in CL...
Secondly starting that grandpa in the semis worked quite fine......

If anything you calling it a joke and acting like it was an/is an unacceptable decision is what really is the joke...

Remind me how many games did dzeko start kn the last 3 months? And how many goals did he score since Jan? Then give me the same numbers for lukaku?

Who fucking cares right now? Did Lukaku proved last night that Inzaghi was wrong? No. He basically killed us. And dont give me that crap that we started attacking when Lukaku came in. We started that after they took the lead.

 

[vex]

I would add brozo there who was imo our best mid last night. But yeah, It's really hard to compete with them on this level when most of our players were brought on some kind of really low to completely free deal. It really is a miracle that we even managed to get to the final, especially when you see other clubs and how much they spend.

But Dzeko was playing on those two situations and it was his fault that we made bad decisions. That didn't involve him, but whatever...

 

[brehme1989]

Well, he could have passed to lukaku. But after the shot you see Brozo coming, he could have waited for him.

He was waiting for a good move by either Lukaku or Brozovic that never came.
He took his shot because it was the only option.
If he managed to squeeze a low shot instead of a high one, maybe that's 1-0.
It is what it is. Blaming Lautaro for that one is insane.

 

[.h.]

Okay then I'm wrong and losing 1-0 vs city in the CL final is tactical genius and the best possible result we could have ever had and we should accept the Tottenham mentality

 

[Cittadino]

Might actually have been easier to stomach if we had gotten hammered 5-0. Very proud of the guys.
We will win something next season.

Man now your just acting like an idiot your so much better than this nobody says that an argument for Lukaku to start cannot be made...
But your acting like it was an obvious blunder to start Dzeko which is ridiculose

Also obviously the tactical genius was not starting dzeko the tactical genus was nullifying city and being able to play the game in a way where we have a good chance to win. Now ofcourse you know that but you have to stick to your argument cause otherwise how could you bash inzaghi...

On your previous question pretty sure dzeko more or less started every second gae even n the last three months.... Yes he did not score much...
But again he probably was in worse form before the euro derby dude scores the opener with what 6 mins into the game...
Dont see you calling inzaghi out for starting him there...
