Simone Inzaghi

[YoramG]

Eh, I thought we were set up well enough yesterday. Very interesting subs, as usual, but what’s new.

 

[vex]

Inzaghi can take the blame for not training any kind of new attacking patterns, it seems more like free flow but he can't take the blame for guys not putting the ball to the net.

We could technically blame him for not being able to come up with a system which would produce even more chances so that our poor finishers statistically would finish at least some of them. But maybe we don't go there as there's always a limit how much offence this squad can really produce.

And what about defense? I know I'm maybe boring with this, but that's his biggest problem from day one, and if you don't fix that or even acknowledge it, then it just festers there and grows like a cancer. There is no future here for any manager that doesn't fix that. We are not some zeman style play toy where all you can think is how to have as many players in the final third and how many chances you create in attack, or even how many goals you score. With that type of football, the best you can do is fight for cl qualification.

And I don't buy it that this is some individual issue with our defenders, skriniar being pushed out of the squad, acerbi being acerbi, de vrij being passed his prime, because: a) we had those problems in his first season as well and b) it's more than obvious whoever watched two football games in his life that this is part of his system, fatal flaw even, and it can be seen from just the simple observation of how we get caught regularly when we lose the ball.

In short, I could give two shits about our attacking patterns and how many chances we create or miss, as long as we concede this many goals, it's all pointless. This club will be on its way up again as soon as we fix our defense or change to a system that doesn't allow this clown show in the back. Until then, our strikers will probably get in form again, score all the tap ins people are currently crying about, but it will not be enough for anything more than just a rollercoaster ride through the season like we had for two years now.

Don't really understand why you are not satisfied with Inzaghi's defense and his system, in season:
18/19 - Inter missed 33 goals in Seria A - Luciano Spalletti
19/20 - Inter missed 36 goals in Seria A - Antonio Conte
20/21 - Inter missed 35 goals in Seria A - Antonio Conte
21/22 - Inter missed 32 goals in Seria A - Simone Inzaghi

I really think our drop in defense performance has to do with playing Hakan in Brozo's spot and then the whole team just plays in that style.

Like those direct long balls are nice when we play counter against like Barca, but in most matches when we are not prioritizing defense, that makes us very vulnerable if the direct long balls have been shot down. To elaborate, you can think of yesterday match, the fail penetrations can be quickly pressed on and they won't be able to launch any clean counters, while when we play with the high tempo with Hakan, yea we have more threats, but once it fails we would be in the process in transitioning to attack, and everyone is out of their positions, while the opponent is still in a good attacking position, plus it requires a lot more sprinting back and forth and energy drops normally take a toll on the quality of the performance.

Nonetheless, if our strikers had a better conversation rate, either tactics should make us shine, cause normally we generate a lot more chances with Hakan's tempo.

Like for the Fiorentina game, we should have scored 1-2 goals before they scored theirs and it would be a total different game. And we led the xG through our the whole game.

Okay, now check this year.

This and Mkhitaryan not being able to keep it up defensively, exposing a weak defender in Dimarco which then forces Bastoni to sit further back and get disoriented instead of making his typical forward runs.

If you just look at final numbers, they will never tell a whole story, unless that number is something outrageous. By that logic, our best defense in the last four years was last season with inzaghi. I can't even write that down without laughing.

What you are looking for is a simple eye test, how solid and cohesive the team is, how easy we concede or how our defense looks while conceding, how much they are exposed or protected and how spread out those goals are during the season aka clean sheets.

It's a fact, I'm just pointing out that the system works, don't blame it all on Inzaghi, of course he's not a top coach, but we don't have the money for a top coach either.

 

[Inter7]

One thing can be the system working, the main issue with inzaghi is he keeps rotating defenders I want someone to compile the amount of times our defense has been kept the same. Even in the fioriantina game we subbed bastoni for de vrij its a useless sub our defense is getting worked because its never a consistent 3

Edit: not to mention is 2023 and danilo dambrosio, acerbi, and Darmian are playing as CBs (this one is on zang and marotta)

 

[pazza moratti]

Top coach like Conte made our average players good and our best players world class and Inzaghi made our average players horse shit and top players average… Only Onana, Hakan and Dimarco has been some what ”consistent” this season.

Whole defence organization is out of balance and like Parolo talked he is no leader and counts his teams leaders to lead the team and when problems start it’s downfall from there on.

Our team with right hands would get easy second place.

If you noticed, the ones who are performing good joined after Conte's departure. Maybe the group who played under Conte are having difficulties with understanding Inzaghi's philosophy.

 

[brakbrak]

Let's not act like Inzaghi doesnt get paid like a "top" coach

 

[bubba zanetti]

We need new quality players and without that we are stuck in a world od shit.

 

[Puma]

To be honest, I think that is a big part of the problem. The team's play has stagnated and become predictable. We do not have alternative players that can enter and change our game or offer anything different. It's the same predictable shit that we have been serving up for close to two seasons under Inzaghi. That is why regenerating the squad is so important and I am not saying that solely for the purpose of spending money and buying new players. I am mean it in the context of having new faces that can offer energy and something different: the ability to change our game when things are not going to plan.

 

[wera]

Well in that case Nagelsmann is the only choice for us right now, or maybe De Zerbi

 

[pazza moratti]

We just need a guy at charge who have solid system where players play at their best positions and a guy who have enough balls to keep our players at their toes!

We humans are gregarious animals and we follow strong leaders. This game is not rocket science and mostly just man managment/confidence.

[Corrode]

Nagelsmann and or William Still Reims can be considered for kick wasted-corpse players and give young energy to Inter youngster/primavera included.

 

[IM21]

We will never ever gonna win another game with this bitch.
