Simone Inzaghi

[varmin]

Don't worry, they will most likely leave next season, we will need 6 new center backs and 3-4 new forwards))

It's not on the players, as we had almost same players during Conte's tenure here.

 

[Il Drago]

For me it's not a formation issue, but more a lack of balance between defence and offence. Actually our defence is disaster. I just recall how Udinese wasted a golden chance when it was still 1-1. When we get a detailed view, we'll see that this team is leaking huge chances every fucking game.

Spezia had 3 chances last night. One hit the post, and the two goals. It's about time we stopped blaming it on bad luck and individual fuckups when it's a common occurrence in our away games. It's also a system problem.

But we have the same system with almost same players when Conte was here? For me, we leave huge gaps in midfield and when the ball is transitioned forward, all of our midfielders go there to find an position. We don't have a coverage of the defenders and we are really vulnerable to counters. But the mentality of the whole team is down as well. Against Monza we conceded after elementary cross in the penalty area.
I'm more and more convinced that Inzaghi used the inertia left by Conte last season, and now we see "his" Inter.

Inzaghi announced ritiro

With his barbie girl voice?? Naah, man.

We have the same formations. The two systems are quite different. Conte played with a low defensive line, compact lines, counter-attacking football and he was very strict with players positions on the field. On the other hand, Inzaghi plays with high defensive line, a possesion based football and he gives freedom to his players. In terms of tactical setup the two systems are basically polar opposites.

 

[RotterdamNerazzurri]

Is he gone yet?

He is the definition of mediocrity. What did he actually achieve in his career that was supurb? Something that was above expectations? Nothing.

He hasn’t a clear vision and he hasn’t the ability to motivate or manage a team. Also isn’t willing to develop youth. Totally useless manager. Imo worse than the Spalletti’s or Pioli’s in this world.

We completely dominated them from the beginning to the end. Us conceding 2 goals was more of a miracle (for Spezia) than our system failing.

It was specifically individual fuckup by Acerbi to let them score the opening goal. 2-1 was the fuckup by Dumfries. What systemic issue we had there? We overrun them totally during the match, but our players just couldn't finish, including a fucking penalty.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Still I'm gonna say Inzaghi is not good enough for Inter. He lacks that something which pushes our players to win games week in week out. It's not the system but more of a mental thing. He's too much Lazio.

Dominating means shit if you can't convert your chances. It's not one time thing where you can blame it on bad luck or a miracle. It's a common occurence in second round. We dominate, we waste our chances and then we concede at opponent's first chance. When it happens so often it's a system shortcoming, not just a bad day.

 

[brehme1989]

It's a mental thing.

Half the team are mental midgets.

Coach needs to find a way but he doesn't have the entire blame here.

 

[CafeCordoba]

How it is a system shortcoming if players cannot score? Explain.

So we lost 8 times by a miracle?

 

[Glass box]

He bottled the Scudetto on an easy mode last season. Now this season he's even bottling a top4 while on easy mode, even though everyone lowered their expectations from a Scudetto to a top4 cause they learned he is a fraud.

 

[NimAraya]

Inzaghi is not good enough for Inter. The players are not good enough for Inter. The owners are not good enough for Inter. It's a perfect match.

 

[Harpsabu]

How it is a system shortcoming if players cannot score? Explain.

Miss chances = players drop the head and panic
Eventually concede first chance = players go into ultra panic mode.
Fail to win = "we are sorry. We gave our all. We will try make this right"

Rinse and repeat. He's got the players in loser mode. It's now acceptable to lose.

And system wise. 24 goals conceded away from home is all you need to know about his so called system. There is no defense for that (or inter away from home)

Stamina control is #1 coaching skill that wins a league. Which Inzaghi completely lacks. Let's say, you have 10 eggs for 10 days of omelettes; but if you swallow 2 at once then you starve the day after. That has happened with Inzaghi, not only at Inter, for 7 years straight. Such a common pattern.

Conte's "terror" football is how to win week in week out. Not "sexy" football bullshit. Players aren't robot and can't run tirelessly for three races at the same time. Not that Inzaghi does not scream enough during the match (i.e. "mental" reasoning) or players don't convert their chances (i.e. "bad luck"); but our coach simply has no idea how to do a marathon. He should do well in another career path, such as national teams, probably.

How it is a system shortcoming if players cannot score? Explain.

System shortcoming is the defensive display.

We take risks in attack, we play with lines high and there's big distance between defence and midfield. This helps us create chances in attack but it comes at a cost. It leaves our defenders exposed and unprotected to counter attacks and we basically count on opponents fuck ups or heroic last min clearances from our defenders or GK saves to get away with it. But when our opponent has the quality to make a decent counter attack it's very easy for them to create a clear cut chance. Then they usually score at their first chance and we wonder how that was possible. We blame it on bad luck but it happens way too often to consider it just a bad day. We blame it on GK for conceding every shot on target. We blame it on cbs individual mistakes. But the reality is it's a collective problem. A system problem.

As for our wastefulness in attack, it's a result of many factors. Our forwards lack the quality to finish our chances on a consistent basis. Lautaro is hot and cold many times during the season, Dzeko can only last for 6 months, Lukaku only contributes to build up play and Correa doesn't bring anything when he isn't injured. But we also lack the player who will create on his own and bring a forward in an advantageous position at opponents box. While our passing game is pretty good we lack the final pass in the attacking third. So we resort either to crosses from midfielders and wingbacks or shots from outside the box. But this kind of chances are harder to score. So while stats look good on paper in reality we create chances but we don't create clear cut chances.

We have only two ways to move forward. Either we bring the necessary quality in attack to outscore the opponent or we tighten up defence hoping attack will bring the one goal we need to win the game. Problem is first needs a lot of money while second needs a new coach and a new system with all the risks that entails.

How it is a system shortcoming if players cannot score? Explain.

Because the system represents both offense and defense, and not just concentrating on how shit our strikers are. In a different, more cohesive system, lukaku penalty goal would have been enough for us to win it last night. But for that to happen you have to have proper stability in the back and not let fuckin spezia caught you with your pants down not once but twice.

 

[varmin]

How it is a system shortcoming if players cannot score? Explain.

It is happen to not score, but we are leaking chances almost every game. Our players are shaky in crucial moments. If you want call it mentality issue, because with Conte we had some similar games indeed. But, we somehow were able to get the points (I recall one Sassuolo match). Now is the opposite. I get worried every time when the opposition comes closer to our penalty area, because we are conceding goal opportunities so easily. Every set piece is a small disaster for our defense as well.

 

[rfU]

Dominating means shit if you can't convert your chances.

So it's a personnel problem?

Imagine for a moment if, during Contes era, Kaku only managed 2 goals with 10 or so games to go? Do we still run away with the title? Conversely, give inzaghi Perishit and Hakimi for the WB positions. Give inzaghi prime brozo, Defry and motivated Skrinair and maybe we wouldn't be so vulnerable in defence.

I'd love to hear some of your solutions, I keep reading 343 and 433 but where are the wingers to execute? Coupled with the fact that we have a bunch of low IQ players, how will we implement these changes?

It's like the Juventus game, players don't execute/score, opposition is emboldened and goes all out to score.

We score first and second we win. Players need to convert. Kaku is on high wages, he should find away to feed off the scarps from our pitiful wingers and execute. Toro needs to score 100 penalties minimum in training or no one goes home. Our setpieces are dreadful and rarely dangerous.
