Torino - Inter (8 Apr 18) [1-0]

[Trininerazzuri]

Gonna be a tuff one but we will come out on top...Belotti has been quiet this season bet he is gonna score against us...i doubt it not with the BOSS Skriniar in the back..i am more worried about us scoring.

 

[Peppino]

I really hope the derby hasn't tired our players because I would start with absolutely the same line-up and wouldn't consider changing. If we play like we have in the last few games, I don't give a shit how hard going to Torino and Bergamo are, we'll come out with six points. That's not an arrogance because a blow-up could easily happen given it's us, but we have the quality to go and win both games and put ourselves in a really strong position. Gaglia is maybe the weak link in midfield but even his performances have slightly above sufficient, Epic is playing supremely well and is finally giving me the impression he's on the road to become the footballer we all know he has the potential to be, that said he will probably nosedive as usual, and Rafinha is a level above most. I'm really confident going into this last straight not just for this season but also for next, I just hope they don't do their usual gig and send me back into depression.

 

[Bluenine]

I wouldn't mind rotating Candreva with Karamoh for this one, apart from that the same line up please. Its Torino, we can afford to be slightly more attacking.

we are inter.. not crotone.

Two loses then

 

[Demenza Senile]

We have kept 5 consecutive clean sheets.That is an amazing stat.I want this stat to continue at all costs.6 straight clean sheets would be bloody amazing.

Torino played very well at San Siro and we had to strain ourselves to the max to get the equalizer.This is definitely not going to be easy and Mazzari just like Mihajlovic before him is going to be fired up for this one.I am hoping we can maintain our unbeaten run and will be content with a draw.Ofcourse we should ideally win this but i am not sure we will have the legs to do it after the derby midweek.Hopefully both Roma and Lazio also drop points this week and next.

I'd gladly trade that clean sheet for 3 points.

Joao Miranda is a major doubt for Inter’s Serie A trip to Torino on Sunday due to a muscular problem.

It kicks off on Sunday at 11.30 UK time (10.30 GMT), click here for a match preview.

The Brazilian picked up a muscular injury during training and only worked separately from his teammates awaiting test results.

If Miranda is unable to start at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, then Andrea Ranocchia or Lisandro Lopez will step in.

It’s more likely to be Lopez, because Ranocchia himself is only just back in the squad after fitness problems.

 

[tanorini]

Lisandro Lopez? After his last showing, Lord have mercy on us!

 

[Ronaldo]

Oh god! Lopez will be a disaster.

In GDS there is nothing about Miranda injury.

 

[Peppino]

I'm not sure where to put this question so I'll ask it here in the hope it doesn't annoy.

If Lazio win the Europa League, they qualify for the Champions League. If they were to finish fifth, my understanding is five Italian teams then go into the Champions League. If they were to finish third or fourth, am I right that this doesn't create an extra space for the Champions League eg. if we finished fifth we'd be out regardless?

Yes.

 

[Peppino]

Yes.

Thanks.

Miranda In, Vecino out:

 

[Ronaldo]

Vecino is not even called up?! We know Valero is going to replace Rafinha at about 60th minute, then what if one of Brozovic or Gagliardini got injured?

 

[forzainter257]

Skriniar plays as DM for Slovakia, so may switch to it if needed.

 

[dax21]

I imagine it would require some powerful pharmaceuticals to get Spalletti to sign off on something so out of his comfort zone.

 

[Nyall]

What's this obsession with having Skriniar in the midfield?



He's one of our best CBs in years and he and Miranda have formed our best CB pairing since Lucio and Samuel.

Just people thinking thry know something better.

What "obsession", this is just literally thinking out loud level of things. God forbid people actually discuss things on an internet forum.
