Toldo -5.0: Gone are the days of the wonder saves. The veteran goalkeeper was helpless for all three goals as his defence let him down. He couldn't do anything to stop 'Doria from scoring on the night. He did look a little suspect at times though.
Cordoba -5.0: No-one really knows what Cordoba was thinking on Sampdoria's third goal. He showed some defensive uncertainty as he tried to clear the ball by back-heeling it when he should have blasted clear and Pazzini said 'thank you very much'.
Materazzi -5.5: Some things just never change and it's not hard to see why. The Italian was more interested in pinching Pazzini in the backside rather than focussing on matters more important. He made some strong challenges and was booked for his efforts. A clumsy and less than effective display.
Rivas -3.0: The Colombian defender was nothing more than ridiculous. His defending for Cassano's goal proves just why Mourinho doesn't play him on a regular basis. At times he was so bad that even his boss laughed when other coaches would have cried. Calcio's Titus Bramble.
Zanetti -6.0: Zanetto reminds everyone of the diesel engine which never lets you down. It ticked over positively even when other parts of the Inter mechanism stalled on a cold and wet night in Genoa.
Vieira -5.0: No longer the presence and leader of the middle. The Frenchman just isn't the same any more and, with performances like these, it's little wonder as to why he plays a bit-part role at the club. The former Arsenal man ran around looking lost and made some rash challenges which didn't help him or his side.
Muntari -5.0: The Ghanaian was not the powerful driving force on the night for his side. He consistently failed to stamp his authority in the middle of the park and he wasted a number of good chances. His mind seemed elsewhere tonight.
Maxwell -4.5: Unfortunately for Inter he was not the max everyone expected him to be. He just didn't get going this evening. His runs were futile while the passing was non existent. He just couldn't handle the pressure which Sampdoria applied and, like his side, he ended up choking.
Mancini -5.0: The Brazilian is a shadow of the player which helped lead Roma to Coppa Italia glory last year. On this performance, it seems as if Mancini will not be taking another medal home this season. He was less than perfect and his shooting reflected this.
Adriano -4.5: Adriano looks lost without the support of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The big hitman was isolated up front and the partnership with Mario Balotelli just didn't pay the dividends Mourinho was looking for. It took him 45 minutes to have a shot on goal. Hopefully, for Inter's sake, he will be different against Genoa on Saturday and Manchester United next week.
Balotelli -5.0: There was some concern for the striker as a freak accident with the wood work left him dazed, luckily he was given the all clear, but had to go to hospital as a precaution. On the pitch he was left on his own out on the left and he didn't produce the results which were expected. He was a little greedy at times, going for personal glory when his side needed a team performance. Looked a shadow of the Balotelli who played so well against Roma.
