Just reviewing the last match, I understand the Lukaku and Brozovic subs, to get their fitness up in match situations, but why leave Dzeko on for 90+ minutes and why Gags at all? Even I'll give a pass on DDA. Fear of losing points and thinking the youngsters would blow it, I reckon.

Games is where YOU can assess if the player is good or not. Inzaghi or any coach spend 10-20x more times with the players in training field than in the matches.
Managers have been assessing Gagliardini every training period for like five years and keep seeing something we don't when he's on the pitch. Maybe the eye test in training doesn't translate one to one on game day.

I'm not gonna criticize inzaghi for not playing asllani, caboni, etc. But what's up with him putting them on when we are losing? That's the part I don't understand.
I think for youngsters, fucking up a winning game might end up more devastating (costing the team more, and fans are more unforgiving) than fucking up in a losing game (seeing people blaming Inzaghi instead of the player, even fans would still shit on them, think Bellanova); also in an another perspective you don't lose anything when it is already lost (given you cannot find a solution at that moment), but if it works out it is a bonus.

Plus I think in losing games that the coach cannot find a workable game plan that can deploy in the reminding minutes, the tactical understanding, movements is less important, which are also areas where juniors would be the most behind compare to more senior players, and granting the players more leeway to do their own thing, like dribbling, and beating players etc. which are the areas talented junior players thrive at, like flair, pace and agility. These plays are normally more restricted, if the situations are not dire, and the turnover can be devastating.

Speaking of which Zanotti, is a bit different from the other juniors, his movements and tactical understanding seems to be pretty good compare to other youngsters; quite typical for our academy players, so if they have something else standing out or physicality is good enough normally they could be playing first team football.
Zanotti has good dribble, passing and pace. His demonstration of understanding where to go and what to do during when is quite remarkable so far; still remember his tiki taka play from before (under Conte time). However, he is not the type that create something out of nowhere.

Coaches like Inzaghi put an impossible barrier for young players to pass. Think about how many dogshit games even experienced players have. Leaders like Barella and Lautaro have had shockingly bad games and they play games in and out.

Youngsters almost never play, get super rusty, and are expected to be perfect to have any chance of seeing any minutes. Even when they do play well, it doesn't guarantee them a starting spot because other players have seniority.

My issue is not asllani not starting, that is perfectly understandable.
The issue comes when he is not subbed on but serie c level scrubs like Gagliardini gets the minutes he should be getting...

Italian Media Highlight Inter Milan’s Dismal Away Record In Serie A With Porous Defense & 40% Win Percentage​

Inter’s away record in Serie A has been a massive problem for them this season, with the team winning less than half of their league fixtures away from the San Siro and shipping an average of almost two goals per match on their travels.

This is highlighted in today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, who suggest that this inability to produce the same performances away from home as those at the San Siro has been the Nerazzurri’s principal issue.

At the San Siro, Inter’s defense has been quite formidable in Serie A, conceding an average of just 0.47 goals per match.

In away fixtures, by contrast, the Nerazzurri have conceded at a rate of 1.8 goals per match in the league, certainly a worrying trend to have gone on over the course of the entire season.

Meanwhile, the win percentage in the league is 84% for Inter at the San Siro, who rarely fail to send their fans home happy.

However, on their travels, this drops to a quite dismal 40%, which means that it is not hard to see why the Nerazzurri have fallen so far behind Napoli in the Serie A title race.

“There is too much difference in pace between Serie A and the Champions League or the Premier League,” Frattesi reported.

“Scamacca tells me that in training they always give it their all, even when they stop for a drink break, they never really stop. Here maybe you take two or three minutes between one drill and another and it shows on the pitch. And then we are years behind in terms of gym work.”
Fratessi after speaking to Scamacca about how they train at West Ham! Just wanted to share this with mister, perhaps he can take note.

Maybe he should also mention how many hours each player is at training for.
And what the West Ham players aren't doing that the Sassuolo players are.

I don't think that this is actually some huge advantage. English clubs are stronger generally, mostly because of their TV rights, which give them big money and therefore more quality players.

or, every other coach has a different thinking of how the team should train... You can't tell me Conte's Inter trained with low effort/energy.

Its also pretty sad that even after training so hard for almost a year, Scamacca sucks balls.

Ashley Young had said Conte's training was the hardest he had ever had. And the guy had trained under freaking Sir Alex!

Different coaches. Different schools. Different methods.

This joke of defending should be on the coach. 2 central defenders are busy with Nzola, and there was no coverage by the rest of the team.
