Simone Inzaghi

[Harpsabu]

Yeah he out coached allegri in fairness. We were so negative second half but. You can't totally rest on a 1-0 lead.

 

[Tamirk]

We simply not have attacking play style, we just pass to who is avilable, we just have pussy approuch, we lead and we stop try to attack and our back lane is very lame this year...

 

[brehme1989]

Our main issue is that we don't have that extra midfielder to run in attack and we cannot rely on our right wing backs on a consistent basis, so add some pressure to our left side and it's done. Plus, we miss calmness next to Brozovic that Eriksen provided. Vidal could do that when he's not anxious to get cautioned, but Hakan is shaky with the ball near the defensive line, Gagliardini cannot pass and Vecino likes to run forward.
We basically need Sensi to reinvent himself and we cannot rely on that.


We had the exact same issues last season whenever Young and Gagliardini were playing. And with Kolarov in, it made it even worse.

 

[NimAraya]

I don't understand the criticism. This was by far our most disciplined showing thus far, and we completely nullified Juventus to almost zero chances bar some long shots and Dybala's free kick. We could've put more emphasis on the offensive end, but chose not to as to solidify the organizational balance - otherwise it could've ended up like in Lazio, or against Sampdoria. We were a soft, soft penalty away from winning a massive three points, but alas...

Regarding the subs, I don't see anything wrong at all. Moving Darmian to the left made sense, and Chiesa did nothing all game. Gagliardini did well, physically. Dumfries' shouldn't have given the ref the chance to blow for a penalty, but did well against Sandro. Barella had a cramp, and who would you substitute him for if not Vecino? D'Ambro and have only two midfielders?

We can feel very hard done, but Inzaghi had Allegri in the bag.

People just love to bitch. When we played attacking football they moaned that this is suicide and expose us in the back. When we play more reserved trying to nullify the opposition's attack they call it pussy football and moan about why we don't attack! Then they moan about why Gags came in! Well, who fucking else?! Do you guys even see the players name on our bench?

People really need to make up their mind about what they like to see on the pitch and be realistic.

We haven't won shit against a single top team this season. I am tired of reading people excusing for "satisfactory performance" but the fact is that when you draw (1 point), you are closer to a lose (0 point) than a win (3 points).

It is not good enough to draw or lose all the hard matches. We need win, 3 points, period. Everything else is a disappointment.

It is not good enough to draw or lose all the hard matches. We need win, 3 points, period. Everything else is a disappointment.

So you're totally ignoring the match that I assume you saw with your own two eyes? Gotcha. This match has next to nothing to do with other 'hard matches', and, by the way, is the best we've seen Inter play against Juventus for close to three years, bar the 2-0 victory.

The performance in this match warranted three points, and would have achieved them had it not been for a typical Juventus penalty extravaganza.

That doesn't mean that I don't agree that the Lazio match, for instance, was a disappointment. But to me, this match showed maturity and willingness from Inzaghi to learn and adapt.

 

[brightbackground]

I hope all these criticisms about not winning big matches aren't from the same people that would want Conte back. Remember that the first match we lost under Conte was Inter 1-2 Rubentus, except we didn't lose due to a dubious last minute penalty, he was thoroughly outcoached by Sarri.

 

[uny_arturo]

It's clear we're lacking a quality LCM and we desperately need Correa to be fit.

As far as this game is concerned, Inzaghi has no real option on the sub. In hindsight he should have moved Perisic up to replace Lautaro. Then drag Darmian to the left and put Dumfries on. There's no need to sub Hakan off (especially when your only alternative is Gagliardini).

The red card was great though. It's like a right of passage. Hope he understands coaching Inter is not "just another job" in Italy. It's a constant crusade against the scumbags from Turin.

Man, it is very simple. Has Juve played well? No. Have we won? No. Then it is not good enough. Especially at our fucking home.

I only see you are trying to nitpick the slightest positives out of nothing. I can agree on the "deserved to win" argument if we either missed tons of sitters, hit the bar, ref fucked over and such. Did we? No. Except the goal we created as nothing as they did. How is that called "3 points warranted"?!?

Let me remind you. One of the things you regard as positive "Gags did well, physically" was where we handed the ball to Juve. I don't care if he won a couple of duels. I only care that that guy offered nothing on the pitch regarding game flow because he has zero quality.

While i don't disagree there was an improvement with Inzaghi's pragmatic approach in the game, at the end of the day it's the result that matters. And the results show we have got just two points against Atalanta, Lazio and Juventus, two of which at home. Simply not good enough .

Would we have won if the penalty was not awarded? Yes or no.

 

[pupivn]

He’s ok even the subs were good with players in hand and how was the match going.

I think this season is unpredictable. All main threats from last season are improving, except Atalanta. Out of three direct replacements for our departure, only Dzeko has done well, Dumfries, Hakan are not good as Eriksen and Hakimi. We still have problem with balance of wingback, one good one bad, not all good at same time. Moreover Bastoni has not progressed much if not less secure than last season. So yes, our squad is worsen.

There are two things which does stand out so far are stamina and concentration. I think those two need to be fixed before winter transfer window, if not we don’t have a shot at Scudetto for sure, top 4 is also in doubt.

He said he took Perisic off because he had taken a knock or something. Said Perisic was in the massage table at half-time.

Taking out Perisic made no fucking sense to me but that explains it all.

But this is the game I've been looking for. We controlled the match, scored the goal and didn't let the opponent to have chances, hardly at all.

Too bad for the result but Inzaghi couldn't do anything about that. We got one great counter also but Perisic fucked that up, 2-0 would have won it for us for sure.

He also added Perisic had a yellow card and Chiesa was coming in. The guy has a fetish with taking off players who have got a yellow card.

We went too negative IMO and made a lot of mistakes. Needs to find that balance but certainly much improved defensively.

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

I think people are being a tad harsh. I think Inzaghi got his tactics spot on for this one. We need to be able to grind out those 1-0 results, the type of win Allegri loves. Today was that type of game and we played appropriately. Juve would have never scored if it wasn’t for a pk or set piece. I’m content chocking this one up to bad luck and poor judgement from Dumfries. I think we took steps forward in terms of team defending today. It’s a shame but there are still a lot of games to play and we stay +3 on Juve. Milan/ Napoli will start to slip up eventually.

Inter boss Simone Inzaghi gave his view of the contest in his post-match interview:

“That was the only way we could’ve conceded a goal. We’re disappointed because we managed the game well from start to finish without giving anything away to Juventus. We’ve dropped two points and I’m not pleased about it. The referee was a couple of yards away, said everything was fine and was then called back.

“It’s disappointing for our fans who got behind us for 95 minutes and it’s disappointing for the players who controlled the game against a top side.

“We were never under the cosh. We managed the match well from start to finish,” added the boss.

“We can build on the performance because we did very well. In the first half, we pressed all over the pitch. We worked hard and knew that Juventus could bring on some dangerous players.

“We were more compact and played deeper in the second half, but we really gave away no chances to a very good side that can hurt you on the break.

“The whole team pitched in and defended well. The only disappointment tonight is the result which is harsh on us. As for taking [Ivan] Perisic off, he had a bit of muscle fatigue and was on the massage table at half time. He had signalled to me that everything was OK, but he was also on a yellow card and [Federico] Chiesa had come on.

“It’s disappointing to concede a penalty with a man advantage a few minutes before the end without giving anything else away. Seeing the referee signal that everything was fine made me angry. The red card is fair. I made a mistake, just as the referee made a mistake by signalling that everything was fine.”

 

[Batman]

Of course whining. “We managed the game well from start to finish”


No you didnt. The last 20 mins before the penalty Juve controlled the game, and if he meant we defended well then it’s pathetic to defend a 1 goal lead at home against a team who’s going through a bad run.

What are you talking about? Juventus had won 6 games on the trot. They are 3 points behind us. How is that a bad run? They recently beat Chelsea and Roma. We were on our way to the same type of 1-0 victory they have had to suffer for in recent matches. In fact we gave up less today then they did in those games. There was no Chillieni celebration from a last ditch tackle. The difference is the referee gave them an out today. The same way they did last year.

I’m not a conspiracy theory guy by any means. I don’t think that Calciopoli is still in effect but I do think old habits die hard. There is a culture in Italy where Juventus always gets the benefit of the doubt. If you’re going to make a call against Juventus you better be 1000% right. Any gray area is not allowed. No one in the league would have gotten that pen against Juve, especially not in the Allianz.

Inzaghi was 100% correct. To control the game doesn't mean controlling the ball.

We controlled the game from start to finish most of the time. There were these few moments in the second had when it felt we were not in control but even then Juve couldn't create SHIT.

I count their only real chance being that Morata shot in the first half when the ball bounced off from Handa. And I don't really know how good of a chance that really was. Not A level chance at least.

We should have won that match and really shame about the VAR decision. Only way Juve could get a goal, by a penalty.

We didn't have to score any goals anymore since we were leading the whole time. We controlled the situation. One odd situation which was not a created goal scoring chance gave them the penalty. That's how well we defended our lead.
