IMO Santon and JJ/Telles are the sure starters, maybe D'Ambrosio in Santon's place after being fit. But tbh I dont see anything wrong with what Mancini is doing, it's nice to have lots of fullbacks with different characteristics, and what's nicer, they all performed fairly well so far. It also raises competence between the players which is imo a very good thing to do.

I mean it's pretty standard to have a successful season (whatever the objectives are) you'll need a consistent starting 11, unless I'm unaware and a team has done it otherwise before?

This is the first time I've seen Nagatomo on top of his defensive game in an inter shirt. Give that man a contract extensi

actually hes shown it multiple times against cuadrado when they faced each other if i remember correctly. this was always one of my favorite matchups
anyways great game i still feel we should keep him as back up lb with telles or juan jesus starting... he is a very nice option to have off the bench

Nagatomo has owned both Cuadrado and Lichtsteiner every time he had faced them. He also was pretty good defensively when he was playing as a FB, his 2011/2012 season in particular he was a beast, much better than D'Ambrosio has ever been with us, who is supposedly great defensively.

Solid game. Kept Bruno Peres quiet and had good set pieces

He did his job. If he performs like this probably his contract will be renewed. I am ok with this because i am thinking about Asia Money which we need...

Superb performance from Naga (as usual), just a shame he'd to leave around the 60 minute mark.

A lot of pp, felt that way, I felt that he was weak in every duel, and even if he was left by Biabia to dry,his performance wasn't confidence worthy. Telles the better of the two

I thought Murillo was better as a RB than him.

With a 2 goal lead, you had to figure Mancini was going to take Nagatomo out.

It should have been done in the summer, but he's stubborn and doesn't want to go. Don't get me wrong, he's a fine player, but neither essential nor lighting up Serie A on fire, and given his age it may be Inter's last chance to get something out of a sale. But my opinion is he shouldn't be starting because anyone else who can play RB on this team can do a better defensive job (Santon or D'Ambrosio, I haven't seen Montoya play yet).

Neither has anybody else. :lol:

his contract should expire in summer so he will probably leave for free unless we wont give him a new one
