Simone Inzaghi

[kurt0411]

Dumfries is indeed good as gone, which makes sense given all the plusvalenza. Correa is sold if we can sell him for a price which don't bring us minusvalenza.

If we sell Lautaro, we need to buy starting striker and 2 wingers. That's very expensive. Basically it would be changing Correa + Lautaro for CF and 2x wingers (as Dumfries sale is only to cover losses for this financial year).

You're also forgetting all the money we're saving from wages with all the players leaving

If you buy 2 decent wingers + one good striker, there will be no saving at all.

All these talks mean nothing as long as Suning is here. I still wait for Sandro Sabatini's claim that Inter will be sold at the start of 2023 to come true. So far we have seen no sign of it coming true.

New players don't come to play for free. Replacing two players with three will probably cost the same in terms of salaries. Tax reduction helps here if few of those comes from abroad.

maybe Europa league or conference league ticket would accelerate that

i could care less if he stays or not as of right now. Until we don't have new owners, pretty much no coach will do shit with this team. And next season our roster will look even worse with zero investments other than giving 2 year deals to some 34 year old that's finished.

Agreed. Might as well let him run down his contract and deal with grizzled veterans, the broke owner and bankrupt mgmt. Hopefully, after 2023/24 season things will change completely for the good.

I disagree. When you have no money the first thing you need to do is tighten up the defense and hoping the attack will get you the one goal you need to win. Inzaghi has no clue how to set up a defense and only counts on outscoring the opponent. Well a good attack needs money.

I've had enough of Inzaghi's "beautiful football". He needs to go in the summer even if the replacement is a gamble like Juric.

 

[forzainter257]

Conte lead very same players to europa league final and to the 2nd place in the league. Barella, Bastoni were still raw. De Vrij was our best CB. When Darmian, Lukaku, Young joined us, most of you were crying here. We had Vecino and Valero in midfield lol. If you give Inzaghi Real or City he will still be flopping. Don't blame the players please

I think Inzaghi won't flop, if he has a strong squad on his disposal. But, he is so bad in introducing of young players, which is a problem for Inter right now.

We conceded 32 goals last season in Serie A. He has no clue?

This Juric talk is funny, as if he had any credentials to tell our star players to be like dogs. Conte had credibility for that, but I doubt Juric has.

 

[NimAraya]

I don't think Inzaghi has no clue about how to defend. He's an Italian coach afterall and defending is a big part of italian football culture. He just decided to go for a different approach than people want him to do.

Mancini used to be the same at Lazio and his first season here. Then he went full italian mode and people actually started to mock and despise his defensive approach, like using 3 DMs in midfield.

Coaching a big club requires something more than just having football knowledge. As you said, you also need to deal with star players with big egos. You need to have the mentality and practicallity to deal with this kind of squad for a full season year in year out. That's why many coaches fail at a big club and do much better at a lower level club.

Exactly.

I don't see Juric having too much credentials in front of our squad. What has he really achieved?

Specially in Juric's case, the credibility is important in front of the squad since his playing style is hard work, hard work and after that some more hard work. Conte had the credibility because of what he has done and achieved as a coach.

First of all, last season was one of adjustment from Conte ball to Inzaghi ball. This season squad have fully adjusted to Inzaghi tactics. And even last season there was a lot of criticism, even from Inter players, that we conceded too many goals. It's just a much bigger issue this season, also due to the loss of Perisic.

And yes. He has no clue. His defensive record speaks for itself.

2016/17 Lazio: 51 goals conceded
2017/18 Lazio: 49 goals conceded
2018/19 Lazio: 46 goals conceded
2019/20 Lazio: 42 goals conceded
2020/21 Lazio: 55 goals conceded
2022/23 Inter: 24 goals conceded in 17 matches

Unless something drastically changes it will be another 40+ goals conceded season for an Inzaghi team. 2021/22 looks like an outlier in Inzaghi's career.

I don't know why you keep bringing up Conte credentials. Conte isn't at Inter anymore. Club can't afford someone with Conte credentials. Inzaghi didn't have Conte credentials when he was hired in the first place.

Bar isn't Conte anymore. It's Inzaghi. For starters we just need someone who can fix the defense. The fact that Inter have a worse defensive record than Lecce and Empoli is simply unacceptable. And it isn't solely a matter of players.

Inzaghi's type of football requires a very strong attack and quality squad depth. We don't have money for either. And that's why for me he isn't the right guy to move forward past this season.

 

[varmin]

Inter needs someone who can introduce some young players in the first team, provided that we are broken.

 

[#NotForMe]

I am not sure if we should be pinning the goals leaking problem to Inzaghi; so in short, to me I think a coach is responsible when the set up leads to a lot of big chances for the opponent, which isn't really the case:


The actually goals:


However, you can definitely argue that this does not show the full pic, which I agree, cause 10 x 0.08 chances and 1 x 0.8 chance lead to the same expected value but the fluctuations are extremely different.

Still I think the reason for our defense leakage lies more on the players' concentration for the detail executions than the coaches' set up or game plan, or we are extremely unlucky.

 

[#NotForMe]

Also I want to say Inzaghi isn't that terrible in introducing youngster if you compare him to other "Italian" coaches. Even I would love Asllani and the others to play more.
One example is even Asllani said he couldn't sleep after missing the Barca chance, stress and exposure is a delicate thing to balance, and so far it is pretty decent.
Can't say for sure when the whole team has no injury though.

The only complain in terms of youngster I have is Carboni and Correa, like I get we are trying to get Correa going in order to get back our money worth, but it is almost like a lost cause to me now, and getting Carboni more involve, might get us more in an aggregation comparison of 2 years time.

Have that said, you look at other leagues, young players for the age 18-22 gets to start a lot and it works (like the short term compensation isn't that huge, like losing a game for example, like 1-2 young players on the field at the same time with other more experience player to guide them); so our way out with this budget is really to play more youngsters and use their youth and energy to compensate what they lack of, and improve them quickly if their potential is really there.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Issue in Italy is everyone focuses just on the result. If coach uses youngsters and don't accumulate wins (in a big club) it becomes a huge issue.

Ok, but when coach is constantly using players like Correa and 5G without any results, this should be an issue too?
Pioli, Allegri and Mourinho were not afraid to use some young players, when it's needed. On the contrary, we've seen how our useless trash is ahead of Carboni and Asllani, almost always.
