Not saying we will or should fire him. We won’t but it’s still a failure looking back.

Inzaghi is anything but a failure at Inter. In fact he's been excellent, but errors as such have happened and will happen as long as football is being played.

No matter what happens in this season, sacking him is not a solution. The best solution is, giving him proper players in the bench aswell. Our schedule is quite busy, and with the current roster we can't remain competitive in two or three competitions.

This guy should get a new blood. Not Palacios, Buchanans and Asslanis. But bench options that will give us advantage, not disadvantage. Eat shit vulture scum Oaktree!
Ya exactly i can't blame him for the subs, Lautaro was tired he ran his ass off non stop and Dimarco couldn't even walk anymore. We lost points because of shitty depth again..

I know that there is obviously a quality difference between our starters and reserves. However, at a certain point we do have to question the position Inzaghi has put some of his players in mentally. It seems impossible for any reserve to crack the starting line up without an injury, and even then it’s temporary.

A lot of our back ups have lost confidence. Taremi, Buchanan, Arnautovic, Frattesi. All of these guys are playing scared for some reason. I feel like it has to do with integration into the team.

There are certainly quality issues there as well. Arnautovic should not be at Inter, Asllani should not be at Inter. Buchanan has never been given more than a game in his preferred position but he probably should not be at Inter.

However when Frattesi and Taremi are missing sitters and the former wants to leave it does make you wonder.

The board have failed him but he’s also failed the board. They have not given him good backups but reality is players like Taremi, Z, Frattesi, Augusto, SDV/Acerbi, Bisseck/pavard, etc are players who walk into most other starting elevens in Serie a. Even shitters like Taremi probably start at 12 other clubs. The squad he has is not perfect but it’s miles and miles over any other squad in Serie a. Juve, Milan, Napoli might have a few players who would start here. At Napoli they’re top of the league rn. who might start here in that team? 2 guys maybe? The difference between Conte and Inzaghi isn’t even the brand of football they play. Conte can take scraps like McTominay and turn them into useful players. If you swap Conte with Inzaghi there’s probably a ten point difference between the clubs with us way ahead of them.

Okay now that I’ve calmed down I just wanted to say grande Inzaghi. I got to see Dumfries play LW for a bit today. Elite tactician. Who cares that we drop points as long as I get to see center backs playing as false 9’s. Applause to this man.

To me it just seems weird we don't prepare better for these matches where we know we have struggled. Ended up getting 2-2 just like last year...

I think we do prepare for these matches. A slip up was bound to happen, I was expecting it already against Venezia.

Also we have more games soon, otherwise I don't think he would pull Lautaro out and also he couldn't know Taremi would shit his pants so badly...

Considering what he has on his bench, 2-2 doesn't look that bad considering Bologna looked better for most of the match.

This draw complicates it just a little. We had to win the Fiorentina match anyway, and if we do, we are still on pace with Napoli. We just must not lose against Napoli for the head to head.

I have a feeling that Simone and Beppe delegated to someone to but a sub players.

Otherwise I can't understand, we are getting absolutely the best starters mostly for free and we haven't been able to but even a single impactful sub?

Did you check out their schedule and compare with ours? Oh not to mention you want a manager explicitly dropping off a tournament cause he can only handle 1 game per week?

Or you are just a Conte fan boy?

The thing with Inzaghi is that he developed a very specific module and playstyle which is not easy to interpret and almost impossible for some players.
Speaking on a general level, as a player you are used with different attacking/defending movements, position changes, transition and everything related. You cant play in today's football without a very developed muscle memory. Game was already fast back in the 90s and even as kids we were asked to play fast, one touch, play and go and stuff like that.
Now if you put that in context, I feel this is the problem with Inzaghi's system. As innovative as it is you will not find players specialized for it. You get players used to 3-5-2, you get specialized wingbacks and whatnot but they still need to get comfortable with how the team moves as a unit. If you watch a game from a tactical point of view the amount of position change and movement our players are doing is crazy. I honestly think I would not have managed to keep up with what is asked of me if I was a midfielder, then again I was a striker. This is why pretty much all players besides our GK. central CB and up to a certain point strikers take so long to become effective.
Bottom line is we need to understand the pros and cons of his system. We can beat any team, any time, anywhere with our first 11. This comes with the cost of having an aging squad and replacing any starter is a very difficult job, way more difficult than buying a great prospect and just expecting him to slot in after some accomodation. Some players simply just never really become effective and you need to restart the search. Is this on Inzaghi ? Well not really .... I expect he has player profiles ready and the club is then just balancing with what he needs and what he can get. Being on a tight ass budget obviously doesnt help.
My main concern and cause of annoyance is the fact some players have overstayed their welcome and after all this time we still have no reliable backup. The ammount of games, all this traveling and less and less recovery time led to the huge rise in muscle injuries and shit like ACL tears which means you really need 21 first team players if you are to challange on all fronts because anyone can get injured at any time regardless of age and physicallity.

We either need to be tougher in the midfield to have control, or we need to get at least one pacey wingback that can be subbed in for Dumfries that won't shit his pants.

Hopefully we can do both. Our bench doesn't have enough punch to do anything. It's all about how good we do with our starters and obviously that's not enough, especially in later stages of CL or against our main rivals.

Like the tweak he did today to accommodate Frattesi, a bit more risky but more rewarding, also Frattesi put a bit more effort than just trying to score goals.
