Simone Inzaghi

[vex]

Goals conceded after the first 5 league games since 2013

After you see that, you gotta fucking ask yourself how much our players are kinda overrated and actually need a strong hand to guide them. It's indicative that during that time when we leaked goals like crazy with conte we played very similar football like we are playing now with inzaghi.

And only after conte said fuck this happy go lucky approach and your freedoms, you gonna play now like I control you and if you deviate from that i m gonna strangle you, we saw major improvements especially in defense. These players need rigid structure, something to save them from their own stupidity. I'm sure it's much more fun for them to play like we are currently playing, but we ain't gonna win anything significant as long as we don't found some discipline and rigidity.

We were conceding too many goals because Conte played Kolarov as LCB. I guess Inzaghi is trying to do something similar by playing Dimarco there. Anyway, remember Kolarov had several blunders. Skriniar was also missing. After several experiments with Kolarov, Conte decided to quit the idea and our defense improved since the moment we started playing Skri-SDV-Basto regularly.

Nah man as I remember our defense started improving when we started playing deeper and on counter-attacks. Kolarov was just a victim of our defense being higher on the pitch in those first few weeks. It was not just that skri basto and sdv started playing, it was a whole different approach of sitting deeper when defending.

lol there are 3 CBs but the victim is Kolarov. We didn't sit that deep, cause I remember Basto was playing almost like a winger crossing left and right. We scored 89 goals that season.

Perisic and Sanchez carry Inzaghi team last season, without them our team not same. The left flank become liability, defensive or offensive without Perisic. Our offensive will predictable without Sanchez.

This guy will drop points so much, he cant train Gosens. Bellanova looks like pointless signing.

 

[wera]

Give Bellanova time. He might only start playing more regulary next season, but it is important that we also bought him. Darmian can't cover for both DiMarco/Gosens and Dumfries, and also since he'll probably leave next summer, Bellanova being here is a good idea.

Lol sanchez hahhahaha dude did not carry anything other than his fat paycheck.....
Was useless and overly selfish in most games but sure sanchez carried inzaghi....
39 games and 9 goals and he carried us....
I ll give you perisic but sanchez?

 

[Jusef]

How you play matters! Hakan’s misplaced pass to Brozovic, which lead to Milan’s equalizer sucks, but I would rather Inzaghi play a more offensive game than playing defensive and conceding anyway (Conte style).

Also, why are members hating on him playing Dimarco instead of Bastoni?

What is the point of playing 3 CBS, which is defensive and is nonetheless leaking goals like the Giroud one (literally three v 1 in the box).

Rather Inzaghi plays Dimarco as LCB and allow for more offensive play than Bastoni who is not playing well defensively.

With regards the Conte V/s Limone debate i believe staunchly that Conte only won the league because we finished bottom of the UCL group.Our owners and mgmt have given both Conte and Limone good starting 11s with 2-3 decent subs and that is it.With a squad of 14 good players all we can manage is 1 good game per week.And perhaps the formation model also counts here.Recall that Limone challenged for the league only once at Lazio and that was when they went out in the group stages of an EL group to Celtic and Rennes.Similarly Conte only managed to do well in the EL due to the special nature of the post Covid stoppage schedule where we only had 1 legged games.

You give both managers 2-3 games in a span of 7 days and their teams struggle unless they are given a proper bench.In this i feel both are very similar.And the owners and mgmt should have given Limone a deeper bench this season because of the special nature of the season with the Winter WC.We have already screwed Limone up here and set him up for failure.

If anything we should have learnt from the experience of the past 3 years and known that we won the league due to a special circumstance like having less games.We only had Lukaku,Lautaro and Alexis as forwards that season and i don't recall Pinamonti having played much.

Even now i believe that if Limone were to only have 1 game per week you will see him win the Scudetto.Anything other than that and his 3-5-2 takes away too much and he will need a proper bench to win.We have not given him that.

And i believe Conte left because he knew this too.He had gotten the max out of the players and he knew with 14 good players there is not going to be the same success because the demands in Europe will increase without the commensurate increase in the depth of the squad.

We are handicapping our coaches and hence why the demand is basically make 4th spot and whatever happens in Europe can be a bonus.

Conte got lucky and left.Limone will be stuck with a withering and ageing squad each year and be asked to work wonders whilst also not being as capable as Conte in many aspects.

It absolutely had a positive effect on us we didn't need to concentrate on CL anymore back then. It also gave team extra motivation. Even if it was only 2 extra games last season, the focus gets distracted and it affects many games.

I totally disagree. Only a deep run in EL, similar to Conte's fist season could have threatened the title. But, two more games in CL, provided we finished 12 clear ahead above the second? Don't make me laugh.

I can apply same argument for first season of Conte - if there were no Covid (midweek games) and EL, he would have made Inter champions from the very first attempt.

Not a bad point but we only played Ludogorets before Covid. The rest of the opponents were in the summer after the league ended.

I meant that it was mix between EL and championship midweek games, which affected the team after all. Without all of this, Inter or even Lazio could have won it, but with 3 games per week, the better bench of jube was crucial.

No he wouldn't. Even before the Covid lockdown, we were far behind Juve. We had lost to both Lazio and Juve consecutively. This is the table after week 26, when the Serie a was cancelled for three months.

Juve 63 pts
Lazio 62 pts
Inter 57 pts

Inter also had lost the h2h against Juve, which increases the gap to 7 pts.

Could Lazio win the scudetto? I'm not sure, but I think the Covid lockdown significantly affected on them, they were on a good run before it. I believe they could go toe to toe with Juve until the final weeks if the lockdown weren't around.

Also when that season finished I read a lot of comments about Inter losing the scudetto only by 1 point, which is not true. When Juve secured the title, the gap was 7-8 pts. They just took their feet off the pedal after that as they didn't care. They lost a good bunch of points, which made the final table show only 1 point gap between Juve and Inter.

We were hoping to stay 3rd when covid hit because Atalanta wad coming with fury.

Covid destroyed Lazio and it rejuvenated us because it allowed us to have 5 subs. Conte was struggling with 3 and changing both wing backs basically was what gave us the boost.

Lazio didn't have more than 3 players to sub in, let alone rotate. We had 17-18 players to pick from for 1.5 years under Conte.

 

[surripere]

I heard Conte’s Spurs described as constipated recently =D

For now, I still prefer Inzaghi’s Inter to his.

 

[Jusef]

Never understand why members defend Conte. He barely achieved the minimum during his tenure. Actually, Conte didn’t qualify past the group stages in CL in both years, which means he underachieved.

Inzaghi, in his first year with Inter, and 73% of of Conte’s first team, overachieved compared to Conte, considering he lost the MVP player.

Cmon, that was tipical Inzaghi's meltdown.

7 points in 12 games to go is not so huge advantage, considering that Lazio were only 3 behind jube as well.
With one match per week, we definitely could have done it, or Lazio.
Yes, jube secured the title much earlier, exactly because their depth. Midweek games damaged Lazio the most, but Inter too.
