Roma - Inter (20 Oct 24) [0-1]

[bubba zanetti]

questionable decisions from barella with that shot and that cross to thuram when dimarco was wide open

That was classic Barella.

 

[brakbrak]

The most important thing about our win today is that we didn't concede.

 

[Javier'sSon]

How did we only score one goal is beyond me but good game from the boys also taking into account the early subs, maybe they shouldn't have started in the beginning but who knows. Frattesi showed up big time even though I dreaded seeing him coming on so early. Thuram played good and yet was extremely wasteful.

 

[Atech]

Physically and fitness wise, we have an issue.

 

[brakbrak]

Great result but we were not good at all.

Neither are any of other contenders. This whole international break bullshit is the culprit. Just look at any top team in every league, they didn't have proper preseason yet they are forced to play in some stupid international friendlies.

 

[nerazzurro4ever]

I think losing hakan did hurt us, but the defense stepped up and We got a clean sheet. Overall we should be putting more of these chances away and getting better looks on goal.

That being said. 3 points is 3 points and great to see lauti score too. Forza Inter

 

[bubba zanetti]

Frattesi was shite first half but really improved in second, Dumfries must be a starter. Barella and Bastoni were best players for me tonight. Poor Dimarco cant catch a fucking break.

 

[Besnik]

I know you aren't talking about Barella skill but calling him poor in this match is just not true. Saying words like vulnerable without actually pointing when or which situation he was vulnerable in is not right. Of course he looked good, he was playing in his position.

I'm too lazy to make an edit of pics/clips, but he was caught off guard many times. Playing deep requires a lot of responsibility and tactical discipline. I already said that it isn't entirely his fault, but we say what we see in pitch.

Our midfield was poor tactically tonight, and that's because of Barella's incompetence on that role and of course Frattesi is a non-factor for most of time. It made even Mkhi look lost sometimes.

I'll try to bring some moments if I get to browse from desktop.

Couldn't care less we didn't look great offensively, a clean sheet for a change is all that matters.

This is a scuddetto winning team mentality win, even more so than winning convincingly against some minion team, especially given the early injury problems we had.

It's a chicken and egg thing, is it because of Barella or because the other midfield did not make their runs to create spaces? Anyway, don't bother, you saw what you saw and so did I.

 

[Jnr]

We have to be close to Conte, can't let them have a big gap. They will drop points even without Europe.

Such a good win that relieves some of the pressure. Roma didn't look much , but we suffered. Dovbyk was nicely in thepocket all game, but as always, Dybala danger was like a drone over our heads all game.

Im expecting Taremi-Arnautovic vs Young Boys, give Palacios 30mins when winning safely. Just no more further injury before Gobbi MF's

It's a team play, but Barella had more responsibility tonight. In first half things looked even worse in term of tactical aspect, therefore Roma managed to take over. Maybe second half to a lesser extent, but still, there was plenty of times while our midfielders were tactically wrong.

Now I don't wanna pick up details, but speaking honestly, Barella was far from his level, and it isn't entirely his fault.

I also said in match thread that with Frattesi in pitch, we're sacrificing tactical discipline for offensive threat.

Being tactically good is an advantage even when you're playing out of your position.

This is how scudetti are won. Let's keep not conceding

 

[andrei]

I think Inter fans have a weird view of what a DLPs is. Maybe because our last 2 DLPs (Brozo, Hakan) were actually box-to-box players pigeonholed in that role. They certainly weren't Pirlo-type DLPs.

We shouldn't even call it that at this point. Just call it a "box-to-box midfielder playing in front of the back 3".

That`s not only at Inter. Pirlo was also an attacking MF converted by Ancelotti in DLP. And so are the most of them. Modric (you could call him a DLP) was the same.
DLP is the most difficult position arguably to learn and master. You don`t see a 20yo kid bossing in this position from his first seasons. Probably the only one I remembered as a pure DLP from the beginning was Xavi. And even him needed a few years until he became worldclass.

 

[ElDuccio]

very important victory especialy considering our 2 big loss (+zielinski). Let's hope to have them back before Juve game.

btw. maybe someone already said it but Lautaro is first with nyers in the "non italian inter players with most goals" ranking list now.

Yeah but once he switched Pirlo stayed deep. Brozo and Hakan get forward a lot more. They remind me of Bisseck in CB, who starts deep and defends deep, but gets forward a lot more.

Barella interpreted it as the classical regista staying deep, but it's very hard to influence the game offensively from deep, unless your passing is 10/10.

 

[Campione]

We showed some balls this time. Losing two of your starters in the first minutes because of injuries is fucking bad. Fortunately the defence stepped up and did great.

What I did not like is that we were too wasteful after we got the lead. Roma basically went all in and left such huge free space at their back but we still failed to convert any of the created chances - Denzel twice, Thuram tried to run through the whole defence and Barella wanted to kill the goalkeeper.

 

[Alex de Large]

Correa made a succesful pass, good game by him i guess..

 

[Glass box]

It's been a few years now, and our coach still does the same mistakes on substitutions. We better mantain this result, otherwise we never scoring with Correa in pitch.

Carlos Augusto has always been a safe option as LCB. But then again, shouldn't have rushed with three subs right away, there's still plenty of time for many things to happen.

He made three subs at once because two slots were already used when Calhanoglu and Acerbi went out.

Still, it stands that Inzaghi doesn't have to use all subs every game, especially in circumstances like these when you only lead 1-0 away at Roma, and you play without a regista, perhaps shouldn't tweak so many things at once. Luckily we won, Roma were possibly the best opponent we could face today, they are in crisis.
