Roma - Inter [ Scores Inside ]

[Hammoudi]

It wasn't some player's faults, it was a collective thing. If the guy in my avatar was our coach when we were 3-1 up, then we would have won. But Mancini is different and he is an attack-minded guy and we have to accept that. It will take some players some time to shift their mentaltiy. On top of that, we still need a real good defensive LB.

Hamed,the guy in your avatar would not have got us to 3-1 though!

So true!!! That's why i prefer Mancini's style. With Entertainment you attract more fans and improve your image, with result coming first of course.

Nonetheless, i still love the guy in my avatar!!!

Highly entertaining match, can you say something else. It´s funny how different the new Inter looks like, when comparing it to the Cuper-era. We definitely are the team that is build to score once more than the opponent. There is plenty of work to do with our defence. It just sucks too many times. It hurts to see how we make winning so difficult to us.

Wins really are what we need. Somehow I have this strong feeling that when we will win couple of times in a row, it´s not going to stop very soon..

 

[Noodles]

Cambiasso is cultivating himself to quite important role in our team. It´s not going to be easy for C.Z. to get his previous role back. And it´s not a bad thing at all. It will be interesting to see how things will be shortly after..

45°+2 Burdisso is presented with a scoring chance inside the Roma box but fails to coordinate.

fück him ...he sucks....!!!!!!!!!!!

Admin edit: Anymore of those comments about players in a negative way, and action will be taken.

Yeah he sucks. He just our best defender on the pitch but he sucks. That was just unfortuante that it fell to a centre half and on hsi weaker foot. He had to try and controll it on his left which is his weaker 1.

Overall it was an entertaining game, but it definately wasn't one for the week hearted. Roma hit early which really put the team on its heals but luckily it scored before halftime keeping the game close. So during halftime I'm thinking to myself "ok Rich, stay calm, the side is great at coming back from a poor 1st half and really bringing it to the opposition in the 2nd" that didn't really happen but even so the side went up 3-1. So I'm celebrating, hoping for the 4th goal from Adriano, ending the game just like I predicted. Then Totti scores an unstoppable FK. But then the midfield and the defence deteriorate making it easy pickings for Roma's attack.

Its pretty obvious the teams problem isn't the attack because the team manages to score. Though before I go on to explain the defensive problem I'd like to bring up the 2D attack scheme this team seems to have. Its either the players try to blast shots from way out and score or the ball is constantly played on the RW and crossed into the middle for someone to score off a header. Sure the team is scoring, but if the side meets an opposition with strong wingbacks then that only leaves blasting long shots and at times it was evident that the Inter attack had no other way to score. Too many times for my liking Adriano simply got the ball passed to him and he tried turning around and blasting some 30-40 yard shot on goal.

Seriously, when is the last time the team scored due to a give and go play down the middle, inside the box? Hopefully the team just continues to score since I guess thats all that really matters.

Now onto the midfield which I still see as a major part of the big problematic defensive picture. There is no defensive support. Too many times Roma easily caught the side on counters with only 2 man back. 2 FREAKIN MEN! Il Cap was going up a lot, and he also switched to the right flank a good deal leaving the left really weak. Ze Maria also attacked a lot, and waaaay to many times there was no help from the midfield. Stankovic, Veron, and Recoba are in no shape or form defensive helpers and I'm sad to say it, but it doesn't really look like those 3 can all play together in the mid without the defense suffering big time.

That is why I was actually sort of relieved when Davids came on for Martins because he gave the support that was lacking, though even so the midfield support was lacking.

I actually think that Cordoba and Burdisso did allright under the circumstances they were put in. A lot of the time it was only them 2 back against 3 or 4 Roma players. Though once or twice weak back passes were performed almost costing in goals. Javier was also a weak performer on the left.

And then there was Toldo who was just not at the top of his game. Sure he couldn't stop the Montella, Cassano, or Totti blasts. But he was still unresponsive at times and just not there when he was needed by the defence to rush and get some balls. Which is why I also would like to see Carini get some playing time or even Fontana because Toldo has not brought the goods this year.

So there was my long anaylsis of the team.

It was an entertaining game, but that was the problem. Roma should have been stopped from coming back or even scoring in the 1st place. The only goal that couldn't have been stopped is Totti's FK.

Anywayz here are my ratings of the players.

Toldo 5

Ze maria 5.5
Cordoba 6
Burdisso 7
Javier Zanetti 5.5

Cambiasso 7
Veron 6
Stankovic 6
Recoba 7

Adriano 6.5
Martins 6

Davids 6
Cristiano Couldn't rate
Cruz Couldn't rate

Mancini 7.5: To me atleast he made the right moves, especially in bringing on Davids for Martins. It was the side that didn't bring the goods, not him.

I understand your point, and it's very valid. However, the Recoba goal was kind of an exception to that trend. It was a nice through-ball from Stan after, I think, Adriano passed it back to him. I really hope it's the start to another dimension of our attack, not just the outside-shots or low crosses.

 

[cool_cuchu]

yeah, it;s a dispaointment....

somehow when we're up 3-1, i was so afraid that we could not hold on to it.... I saw we're not very bright... defensively and our attack was not too strong... at the moment, i was afraid we lost of concentration and it did happen...

roma is certainly very strong, and we need to point out that we played them in olimpico...

we also found out that mancini hasnt completed our playing scheme, we need to find more ways to defend, last time in brussels he found one way, he just need to discover more...

it;s really tough being defenders under mancini, since we are very attacking team now...

yeah, like you guys said, we are just too crazy to field three attackers together against roma, our midfield was suffering.. and adriano looked less strong (understandble when you play game after game, his shoot was fast..., if it was accurate, pelizolli would go in together with the ball)..

I am pissed with del rosi, his tackled against martins was really uggly, I hope martins will heal soon... and his injury wasnt that bad..

our missed chances were normal, we werent nervous or anything... roma's defense was shaked by recoba and adriano....

I am happy for recoba to score such a wonderful goal..., just be patient...
if we are calm and not losing... we should not complain too much as long our team scores a lot... mancini just have to find the right ways to defend, one day, we could have the ballance..

besides, mancini has lost to del neri twice on the opening season, this season at least he didnt lose

 

[Jimmy]

Does anyone have any idea of which situation that Mancini is so upset about that it didn´t become a penalty?

 

[Pravesh]

It was such a disappointing result. 0-1, then 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 !!!!
Can’t believe that we gave up 2-goal lead.

I wudn’t write in detail abt the match, as most of the guys have already done that part. I cudn’t believe the way we passed the ball, it was too bad to see inter passing the ball like that. We didn’t play a good first half, but it was coz of the fact that we didn’t pass well and never tried to get in to the Roma box, instead we took long-range shots all the time.

Too bad Martins got injured and had to be substituted, but that tactic indeed helped us to do well in the second half. And after 3-1, I had thought that there was a very good chance that we will get at least one point from this game, but I was very hopeful for the 3 points as well. I have lost trust on Inter after the 3-2 defeat against Milan last season, and Inter still hasn’t changed on this one – giving up lead. We have been giving up so many goals this season like this and yesterday was no special night.

# It was good to see V.Meyde’s reaction after we scored goals, that’s the spirit….

# Burdisso played well, and Matrix wudn’t have helped us on this, so lets not say that Matrix wud definitely have helped us. there were some stages when Matrix cud had been helpful when roma made crosses, but still, I don't think that made that much difference. Instead, I am expecting much more from CORDOBA.

Lets also hope that he takes his chances in front of goal, as he missed yet another chance to score goal from a very easy position just like in the game against Anderlecht. It would be great to see him scoring goals.

# J.Zanetti cudn’t play that well in the LB position, but for this, lets wait for another game, coz it cud also had been a tactic to stop Mancini (J.Zanetti didn’t help in attack that much). And I won't mind if Mancini agains trys our the same back 4, Ze Maria as RB and J.Zanetti as LB, as I think that it can work for us.

# Cambiasso played yet another good game.

# Too bad that Martins got injured after just coming back, which wud mean that Recoba/Vieri would partner Adriano now, if it’s a long term injury, but hwo the hell didn’t the referee see that tackle??

# I also agree that Carini should be tried now, very soon. I am not trying to blame Toldo for the goals, but we all know what toldo can do, sadly, it doesn't seem that Toldo is at his best, so why not give Carini a chance, after all he's a good goalkeeper as well.

# I still can't believe the way we mis-passed....

 

[cool_cuchu]

Does anyone have any idea of which situation that Mancini is so upset about that it didn´t become a penalty?

yeah, I saw it... martins was tackled near the goal ... but this things happen a lot to us actually... I dont know why mancio keep repeating it..

we are screwed a lot by many of this kind of episodes..

 

[snake]

De Rossi is a fucking moron for that challenge, then later on he elbowed Adriano to the face!

The thing that hurts is 4 draws and from them Chievo was the only one i thought we didnt deserve a win. But Parma, Palermo and today all should have been won, thats alot of points lost.

6 behind Juve that isnt very good, anyway
im very upset we didnt win, we deserved it. Did any1 see when Burdisso was sheilding the ball so toldo could pick it up. Toldo just stood there!!! so burdisso had to kick it out for a throw.

Also Adriano today and agaisnt parma, and anderlecht looked so depleted. He should rest, its a shame he flys across the world now to play more. And instead of resting him in easier games e.g. Anderlecht we cant do it anymore now cause we have udine and milan.

P.S. Would any1 like to have the dude in my avatar back? and i dont want to hear his not fit cause we all know his ready, he playd many practise matches in pre season and is always training with the squad.

[cool_cuchu]

you're just talking trash and nonsense dude,
you shoudl respect people's opinion and it's common that we differ in opinion, it's just as simple as that...

 

[snake]

Yeh i have to say, im truly a fan over every inter player out there From Mihi to Adriano. Its just someone elses opinion not to like some players but hey they fail most of the time but im still fans of them.

I think its great Burdisso is playing and evolving, im happy to see the hammer recover from his injuries. Wether other people like these players or not, there wearing an inter shirt and that goes str8 to my heart.

[Antti]

Roma's third goal was a very good example about our crappy defense. Careless and undisciplined. It was 5 vs 3 battle in area Totti send free kick. When Dellas had beat Cordoba and Davids in header, there were 1 vs 2 situation in front of goal, that's completely incomprehensible how our players let 5 vs 3 turn to 1 vs 2. One midfielder (maybe Stankovic) was next to De Rossi when Totti was about to kick but when the ball touched Dellas' head De Rossi was alone in front of goal. Unbelievebly lazy, undisciplined and careless defending by the midfielder. Another midfielder who was on the area did basically nothing to clear the ball. Burdisso didn't mark neither Mido nor De Rossi. Goals like this, due to undisciplined defending piss me off more than anything.

My ratings:

Toldo 6

J.Zanetti 6

Cambiasso 6,5

Cruz and C.Zanetti played too little

Mancini 5

VERGOGNA INTER!!!!!!

 

[Johnny Ludlow]

That's really pathetic bull$hit Marco. I don't know, you may be right that there are just few people here that make sense, but I'm positive you are not one of those. It's your own mental weakness that you have to attack other people for your dissapointment. And the fact that you probably can't admit this is the reason for your childish outburst is also you own weakness. So I think it would be better if you would just shut up.

 

[Ziyad]

The whole game yesterday went from bad to good to tragic...

What the hell can we expect with a defence like this...??

Toldo looks like he isnt even interested at all..

Ze Maria had his worst game ever with us maybe its not so easy when u have to defend instead of just run up the wing!!

JZ...What the hell is wrong with him he isnt anywhere near what he used to be nor am i or many fans are confident with him there anymore..He is the leader he should assume command. Yes he was played out of position but he allowed Mancini to run all over him in the first half in which they scored and allowed a couple of mistakes in the second in which their third goal i thought came from...He tries to fix other defenders mistakes but exposes his position and they hit us from there.

Veron...Worst game ever for him with us i just fear that it doesnt end up like with Chelsea where he started very well and deteriorated slowly.I know he was behind that goal but i mean his passes werent as good and he wasnt assuming command as he did...If u read any of my posts u would know i am one of his admirers in earlier games.

Stan and Adriano definately need to rest u can see it all over them.Ther usually give loads more in a game rest them for the Milan Derby PLEASE
The thing i however applaude about Adriano is that he tries over and over and yesterday for the first time he brilliantly went to the right side(something i critisized) and shot at goal to get us a corner,great work on that ball because all the defenders expected him to go left...That plus the free kick.

Cambiasso was actually the only bright thing taken out of the first half...He assumed command of midfield batteled their players and took initiative and turned the momentum to our side after we looked really bad with his goal...This is a great game for him.

Recoba ,as much as he was brilliant upfront i saw many balls taken from him and he nonchalantly stops and doesnt fight back,this was even when he was played in midfield...

Davids another good sub because before he came in Mancini was torturing JZ and Inter,after that Mancini was not to be found...Mancini didnt even attempt to dribble when Davids was close..

These are jsut few points i wanted to put here so u guys later as now i am really upset as much as i was yesterday
