Inter went to Scotland to play against Celtic in this years first match in Europa League and round of 32 at Celtic Park with kick off 21:05 (CET).
The coaches Ronny Deila and Roberto Mancini have chosen to start with these line-ups:
CELTIC (4-2-3-1): Gordon; Matthews, Denayer, van Dijk, Izaguirre; Brown, Bitton; Mackay-Steven, Johansen, Armstrong; Griffiths.
INTER: (4-3-1-2):Carrizo; Campagnaro, Ranocchia, Juan Jesus, Santon; Guarin, Medel, Kuzmanovic; Shaqiri; Palacio, Icardi
For me it’s now clear as crystal that our problem is in our players mentality. Been too long under negative-mazzari changed our team mentality. we lost our focus too easily, we lost our fighting spirit too much and we easily cracked under pressure… i hope mancio can change this fast as this team is already good enough but only missing confidence, focus and fighting spirit (mentality problems)
I believe in Inter…FORZA INTER!
Substituting Icardi was the biggest mistake of the match, they simply focused exclusively on our half after that sub.
Mancini knew that our defenders couldn’t contrive to lose the game for us. He took off Icardi, like it or not, there’s no need burning him out since we have no one to fill his boots if he gets injured.
More so, Cagliari game is upon us and we need 3 points from there as well – so the substitution was justified in the end.
If the horror defenders can’t defend a 2-0 lead, how the hell do you expect them to defend a slim one goal lead? The attack did well by scoring 2 good goals at the start of the match – but the idiotic headless chicken in defense gave 2 goals away in 76 seconds.
I mean 76 seconds in the same half! Enough said.
We desperatly need new defenders …
If AR and JJ plays every game, how bad must Vidic and Andreoli be in training…
Santon is ok, needs match fitness, Campagnaro needs retirement , Dodo did well in Roma, DAmbrosio injured to often, Nagatomo never again. Since when can’t an Italian team play defence?
What’s why I im worried about there will be a couple of out of date midfielders and forwards in the summer. We must sell the dead weight…
Andreolli has been injured for a while and Vidic is not fully fit – that explains why the idiotic Ranocchia keeps playing. JJ can still be pardoned, he is just 23 years but the headless chicken Ranocchia is like 27 yrs and still full of school boy, elementary mistakes.
He had a hand in all the 3 goals the team conceded today. He is the most useless defender I’ve seen since I started watching football.
Mancini hates Hernanes?
We missed brozovic tonight
SHAQIRI IS A REAL BEAST THAT’S THE SPIRIT WE LOST . SIMPLY THE BEST OF THE ALL TEAM
The only thing I concern in next two matches, cagliari (away) and celtic (home), is fatigue. Mancini didnt rotate players a lot. We will play away on monday and play again on thursday at san siro.. i can sense fatigue from medel guarin and shaqiri even in the first half even they’re still carry on. Oh men it’ll be a very important week for us.
Anyway, regardless of the result. I think we have found some continuity. I think we played decent just as when we played against palermo and atalanta, except at this time the opponent more aggressive and motivated.
Our Defense is so poor in positioning
that’s it, I’m learning italian, english commentator was so biased towards anglo-saxon teams. all he said was this celtic, that celtic, celtic has to do this, that, fuck even their obvious offside goal was mention as “seemingly” offside.
BASTARDO!!!!!
all the hard work for this at the end and for the 100000000th time
San siro is our hope!!!!
Hope Murillo is good, outherwise we will watch the same scenario next year
Ranocchia was fucked up the game and he wasn’t like a leader!!!! So poor~
finally someone who look a game from more points of view!
Am i the only one who is a little worried about the 2nd leg ?!
Im terrified
Not worried at all tbh 🙂
Shaqiri was so good. So much pace and willingness to play. If we can get at least one more player like him in the summer it’ll be great.
We will win at San Siro. Celtic’s fans are their 12th player and Inter is better at home.
I hope you are right…but even at home…when we get pressured…we collapse
Oh man this defence. another injury time goal conceeded mind you with 5 back line. I dont know whether to laugh or cry
Its sad guys…to think ALL our goals were by luck and ALL their goals were also handed to them by us…BUT their goals required their team to still do stuff…so in reality they had they edge…sigh we shall see what happens
All in all, it’s a good result. What I don’t like is the fact that we let them tie the game after being dominant and going ahead by two goals. Then we go ahead once again, and them tie the game once again in the ending minutes. Our game play is improving, but our defense…..smh
I disagree about out game play…lol all we do is chuck the ball when pressured and are so disorganized
I said improving, not perfect. We create chances. We no longer pass the ball pointlessly without connecting with our strikers.
Hopefully in san siro we will have d’ambrosio and icardi will be in form and henanes instead of kuz (not that kuz sucked, he was only decent)
Campagnaro is our weakest link
I was thinking for one last subtitute just to waste time, and at the exact moment we conceded. Simply amazing now we have to give maximum effort in san siro
Kovacic, Dodo should be benched for a long time and Palacio should play only one half
palacio should be sneijderized or osvaldoized period
Kovacic should be benched for a long time? Based on what? He had fiftheen minutes of play..
He played 15 games as a ghost
He was on the bench 3-4 games already, he played few bad ones before that, but who in the team didn’t.. He was one of the few bright spots during the first period of the championship..
What use would Inter have from benching the player with most potential in the team.. If Inter gives up on him then Inter is giving up on the project that everyone are talking for the past year.. If Inter can’t develop youngsters then it won’t be big ever again..
Agree, Palacio should sub with Puscas in second half. Kovacic? He need to gain experience.
small hopes to win at sansiro…fuck all those defender !!!
oh well atleast we not roma
JJ is good, but damn, his positioning sucks. He must get that in order, he is good at tackling, fast, good jumping, but that doesn’t help if you are not in the right place.
True but positioning is learned through experience. Talents that JJ has are way harder to acquire.
True, and yes, he is still young, but I would have hoped he would have showed a bit more experience considering he has played quite some games for his age.
mancini need to learn how to make right subs!!! and that subs matters!!!
or maybe pick the best starting lineup
thats true!
Is it Brozovic can’t play for Inter in EL?
Yep, he’s cup tied.
Hernanes instead of Kovacic would have been so much better.
I do agree.. Kovacic make not necessary move on Celtic’s third goal. He should let the player in front of Celtic’s player, take the ball.
Rano need to learn open his eyes when challenging high ball, Kova struggle make impact when he only have 20 min and JJ always seems too late after he run forward. last but not least, Mancio still have to find a way to make 3 winning streak
Nice game but enough is enought! Ranocchia is a Serie B player. PLS never ever this slow motion defender! PLS MANCINI NEVER EVER! #RANOCCHIAVATTENE
He actually played decent…Campagnaro is the slowest player in Serie A Lol
Yes Campagnaro we all know that he is shit but he earns 600000 in year, isnt captain came for free and isnt starter only sub. This motherucking Ranocchia is is desgrece!
What match were you watching!? It was kovas fault in the end
Frog is great today..just shit campa !!
Thats why you chear for 90 minutes… We should do the same at san siro
I don’t really care about us scoring 3 or drawing on their stadium. Conceding 3 goals to them, now that is something we have to worry about.
after all i dont think its a bad result although we werent able to clinch a W.
The subs threw away the match. Dodo just go away…
Ranocchia should first go!
In my opinion, Rano played quite good in this match. Yes, he is slow but he can read the game. I think it should be Hernanes paired up with Guarin, instead of Kuz. And the sub of Dodo and Kovacic is not good. It better to change Kuz with Hernanes and changed Palacio with Puscas.
Actually, substituting Icardi was the bad move of the match, he should have given Puscas a chance in order to keep them at alert at their half, this way they completely moved to our half
Fucking hell, all we had to do is keep the ball…. instead Kovacic did 3 fouls and just handed them the ball to score. I’m disgusted
