Missed the game but I guess I didn’t miss much but so much negative comments in a preseason match..we played against bayern who’s avg score against teams is like what? 4-5??? 7??? We conceded 1…Their defence is world class so for us to score Icardi would need aome serious help from the midfield amd his strike partner to even consider scoring and even if you get infront of goal with a shot…NEUER soo yeah.We dominated Milan from start to finish even with starting our..well not first choice team they did a decent job..Mexes goal was a fluke.Against RM I didn’t see the game but they are very similar to Bayern and score alot on teams day in day out in la liga.We are still jelling..from the games I’ve seen I can safely say this season we shoud finish in the top 5…top 3 depending on how the luck goes and results as you can see from preseason that the best team doesn’t always win so have some faith in us guys.Forza Inter!!
I don’t know if it’s only me who see Montoya as the best buy so far. Inter almost conceded nothing from rightside and rarely make mistakes. Also He don’t seems nervous or tired and also run over bothflank to save our defense. He just here for weeks and already made impact as the most safety position in pre season. I hope he can continue and develop to be better day by day.

We played quite badly. RM system of play seem much better and most player plan as if they have been playing for quite a while under Benitez.
From what i’ve seen in the friendlies so far our top priority should be a quality left back not Perisic.Juan was out of position more often than not.
P.S.:The fact that we’re giving an ultimatum to Shaqiri and not to Guarin is laughable
I Agree with you. As we can see Guarin was useless. But we really need Perisic and the only player who can be sold above 15 million is Shaqiri. Guarin should be given ultimatum too so we can have atleast 25 million from both. We didn’t scored in China and really need someone like Perisic who can play many position and have better ability to play as attacker rather that Palacio, Hernanes, and Biabiany. He can pass and score with both foot, have speed above average good jump and header and Kovacic says he is the most talented player in Kroasia national team. As for left back is also a must buy. after sell guarin we must buy a new leftback. Forza Inter!

Icardi really need Perisic and Jovetic to provide him assist and doing blind pass. Hernanes only good at trequartista, not a winger, maybe put in brozovic position should be better. Guarin, D’ambrosio, Taider, Longo can go from Inter. The rest of primavera should doing better to develop as decent as Gnokouri. Let’s hope for a better Inter! forza inter!
Yes , Icardi is a good goal poacher but not a technical passer nor a Good dribbler. He is only an end station of the attack. He is not good at creating chances for others. He needs others to provide him chances.
Yes i agree. I was thinking about playing Hernanes – Kovacic – Kondo .. – Jojo – Icardi – Perisic . But we also have Medel Gnokouri Brozovic. Won’t be easy to find place for evryone, that’s why i think Medel might be sold and Melo is pointless
imo melo is better than brozovic atm. brozo can learn:)
THat is beacuse Brozovic sucks! Lol.
When Gnokouri/Medel comes in Kovacic moved into CM which i think both position is good for him, Kovacic and Kondogbia can play one two before pass into Icardi or other player who has more space or try shot from outside. Kovacic and Kondogbia must train longshot skill from Hernanes or Jovetic not Guarin. Either Kovacic behind Kondogbia and Hernanes or Medel/Gnokouri/Motta/Melo behind Kova and Kondo. Frontline must be Jovetic Icardi and Hopefully Perisic.
im happy that i didnt watch the game xD
Handanovic is good at penalty and crucial save, but not good at Jump. Montoya is our best sideback so far, second is Nagatomo. Andreolli should be ahead Rannochia, He is the real Captain. Murillo is good but really need new leftback who can defend and attack to help him. Santon is good as backup. Kovacic is our man of the match, the most progressing Inter player by far. Brozovic should be replaced by Gonokouri, must compete with medel though. Kondogbia too much lob ball, Its good only if our attacker is Jovetic or perisic who has better body balance and ball control, not Palacio who almost always fall when he get touched.
kovacic is good at this position as long as he dont flick the ball just in front of our penalty box. he can do that as many times as he like in opponent’s half. i think hernanes should play in midfield 3 with kondogbia and kovacic. if we play with 4 3 1 2 position. then jovetic as treq. but i hope we get perisic. for the goals i thought it is not rano’s fault. for the second goal, there are 3 or 4 madrid players there. and only 2 players were defending. one of them is rano. i saw jj just stand still and didnt even try to defend. santon, i remember he played quite well last season, his crossing is quite accurate. but i dont know why a lot of fans want to sell him? can someone tell me? in the match against madrid, he didnt do anything. but i thought it may be caused by other players? no one did anything in the second half after the subsitution.
I think fans don’t want Inter to sell Santon, in fact it’s the management who was trying to cash in on Santon earlier in the mercato.
Guys, chill. We started the pre-season later that the others. The team this year will be full of new players who will need time to get used to one another. The important thing is we got some fantastic players this mercato. This match’s score means nothing. We didn’t make a lot of mistakes, but they are good and took advantage of most chances they got. Have faith in Mancio. Inter will look different at the start of the season.
Finally, somebody with an optimistic and I would add realistic view. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can believe we are so result focused that we even want to win the pre-season friendly games :).
Positif things from last 3 games is our defence were fully tested and Murillo deserve his place for the first team, and the midfield composition were defined, kova and kondogbia are irreplaceable, medel should be played along with them.
Actual problem is attackers, we cant score a goal in this championship…
Have faith my ass, we should be worry. 5 preseason games 2 unconvincing win against amateur team & 3 loss without scoring a single goal.
we are simply just playing too slow,that is the only problem and i hope these defeats does not integrate in our players mind’s.As a team we have a long way too go before we reach puberty.
Forza Inter
Spot on analysis!
thanks bro,and one more thing we are putting ourselfs under pressure it’s not the opposition that is doing that to us we are just too weak mentally at the moment,perhaps a few positive results/wins and with some luck and no loses in Serie A can help us become a true great team.. perhaps.
Forza Inter
the pitches in china have been terrible, ball is bobbling everwhere
Big improvement in midfield with Kodogbia, and kova was great i think our main problems today were with jj, guarin, and palacio. we have to sell taider!
and need to stregthen the attack, i think jj shouldnt be considerd in the line up santon naga and even di marco are all better choices to start.
Montoya impressed.
It was a shame performance. Only Santon who played decent in the RB so the Right side was attacked rarely. I don’t know if the coming of jovetic can make big improvement because the Creativity is the most we need whereas we don’t have that kind of player.
Kondogbia reminds Pogba with his long legs dribbling, but he lacks on passing technique (but we knew it). Overall, I like him. Brozovic, Medel, Gnokouri.. idk who’s gonna play next season but Gnokuri 18yo is a amazing talent. Montoya: We saw him playing only a few games but if Barcelona sold him on a 2 years loan with 8mln buy there’s a reason. Doesn’t look better than D’ambrosio. We play good but when we have to score it gets hard. Jovetic and Perisic (if we get him) will be very useful. As for Hernanes.. if he wasn’t good at free kicks/corners .. how useful would he be?
Guarin made me remember why i want him out of the team. it took him less than 2 minutes after he entered the pitch with that left foot “”””shot””””
3 games zero goals! We are not entertained. Lots of passing errors. It is very annoying to watch! Hopeless, Real was 2 classes better than us. There is no team chemistry. Lack of end pass. And bird shooter Guarin was a disgrace. Icardi can’t seem to time a proper header on goal. Murillo was outplayed by Jesé. The Major problem is the tactics of Mancini. The midfield is not in control.
We’ll look a lot different when the whole team gathers. The attack will look a lot better with Jojo and Icardi and hopefully Perisic. Midfield will improve when Kova and Kondo start linking up better. And Miranda can bring stability in the defense. As for the fullbacks… god help us 😀
We got Jesus the savior as our left fullback
I hope so! I think that we should better play with 2 defensive midfielders. To get control on the midfield. Medel can assist kondogbia as duo. We definetely can use proper full backs. Buy My greatest concern is the is the balance of the team.
The problem is the defence, Miranda – Murillo hopefuly will fix it but imo we need also a good fb, especially at defending. And the other problem is we don’t score, but with jojo perisic things gonna change, trust me. Today the midlefield considering we were playing rm was in control, except Brozovic who did little worse then others
I hope we get back stronger from this.
☐ Not REKT ☑ REKT ☑ Tyrannosaurus REKT
0-6 without Handa. Could have been a lot worse. Plus, blaming Ranocchia and Guarin helps 🙂
We still need a full back and a winger and we got a bunch of useless players that needs to go
I an honestly eager to see our final form in serie A. And I am highly optimistic about it 🙂 as long as we can remove those deadweights. Now it’s all up to Mancini
Man of the match: Messi. 😀
Very bad friendlies. But that means we’ll be good at official games. 🙂
Don’t worry, there are more friendlies to come.
Friendlies against what team? I thought only trofeo tim left
I think there is still Galatasaray to play August 2nd if I’m not mistaken.
Aek athens
Aek athens
Aek athens
I think there is still Galatasaray to play August 2nd if I’m not mistaken.
I don’t really remember but there is more. Not sure if it is olympiacos or some german side..
Next Match (August):
2: Galatasaray
8: Atlhetic Bilbao
12: Trofeo Tim | vs Milan & Sassuolo
16: AEK Athens
I think we’re owning. All hail Lord Ranocchia and Lord Guarin, may they rule forever.
I fully expect us to score 4 goals in 3 mins and show those jokers how it’s done.
i wasnt expecting us to win bayern and real…but this is awful…palacio after brunico looks like walking dead…ranno,jj must be benched…at the moments we play ok but at the moments we play like amateurs….mancio have one month untill season starts…he must change something because whit game like this it will be hard in serie a
Yes i agree… From inter last 3 games, we can see that rano, jj, brozovic, guarin, palacio, must be benched.
yup..and gnoukari deserves place in first team…that boy is good
What i cant understand is mancio still want melo, absolutely gnoukouri way more better than him and 10 years younger… Fiuhhhh
and cheaper mate
Oh man that shoot, makes guarin wanna burried himself immediately on the field. Guarin is a disgrace in conpare to his national conrade murillo and james
he killed a few birds tonight thats for sure
Well at least we didn’t let Ronaldo or bale score, so I think inter accomplished their mission lol
We know with this squad we have a good chance to do well in the league.. not to mention with the arrival of jojo and perisic, we will have a good attacking squad as well. But still, it’s embarassing to always lose and not able to score even once in this prestige friendly.
I blame Ranocchia for the loss… and for the Hindenburg disaster, and for the Titanic disaster, and for WW2.
!
and for rannos bad games i blame guarin
I blame Ranocchia for Guarin’s birth!
hahahaha…
LOL.. You really made my day mate…
You describe my feeling amazingly bro…
but other than the score, i see some hope this season..
Once we deploy wingers attack will shape up. I’m 100% sure.
agree with you, this match show us why mancini want 2 more attacking players..
Palacio and Icardi are in front of the box, swarmed with defenders while the flanks are empty. You can’t play football like that today. Not against teams like Real madrid and Bayern.
guarin…THE BIRD ASSASIN
The return of Bird Shooter…
I’m counting 3 birds died so far..
and 2 are fighting for their lives
I fear the birds will soon be extinct like dinosaurs if Guarin keep shooting like this.
put a bird in front of the goal, and he will score 30+ goal, that’s the best solution for bird shooting thing
Nagatomo, Popa, Taider and master D’Ambrosio. Best substitutions ever when you are losing to Real madrid.
we need to sell them afterall.. so no need to risk our first team.. 🙂
guarin the master of shooting…
Birds public enemy…
hahahaha.. feel sory for the birds..
Send guarin to the moon, maybe he finally can score a goal from that distance :p
he should an american football player instead be a football player
Guarin ends up knocking down Icardi for the shot and he still ends up shooting for the birds , what a fucking lad! Lol xD
Simply the best
I love to hate Guarin’s shots 🙂
It’s like he wants us to wanna murder him 🙂
Imagine how the birds feel
birds in china will remember him for a long time
And he thinks he is worth the inter shirt smh
did they found guarin ball in earth’s twin?
i don’t know why he hate so much bird, maybe he had a trauma with birds, and dedicate his life to kill bird as many as he can. or we need the psychologist to heal him from his trauma
Maybe he has seen Hitchcocks’s film ”the Birds”
and from that movie he got his trauma, poor Guarin 🙁
Anyone else thinks 3 man defence is the answer now… it feels that way to me…
I think that 3 forwards is an answer because midfield has nowhere to pass upfront.
Good answer 🙂
So sad to watch last 3 inter’s games and cant score a goal…
Forza Inter…!!!!
guaro start shooting the chinese bird..:)
Despite the score you can clearly see improvements and many things have been put into prespective. Palacio won’t cut it, gnoukori should be ahead brozo in the pecking order, miranda will be a god send, our full backs just suck… no question about it.
Medel/Gnokouri/Guarin will claim Brozo’s spot.
Miranda will claim Rano’s!
And Jovetic gets Palacio’s!
Problem will be solved 😉
Miranda won’t claim.. he’ll get it! Bro we spent 15mln on him andhe’s 30 (or 31 don’t remember) to put Rano on the bench. If rano really will play it’s rather instead than Murillo not Miranda. But i think we’ll play Murillo – Miranda
Murrillo is faster than Rano, and is better with the ball (he reminds me of Lucio) Rano is better in not getting out of position, and in aerial duels. Overall, I think Murrillo is a lot better, IF he doesn’t make JJ style mistakes.
there go the birds
Guaro still got it <3
rano… hahaha
Rano had fallen even before the ball had reached him. Great job there, skipper.
fucking palacio man
It was kovacic that flicked right back to them
but palacio reflect is too slow and his speed is like an oldman speed
He’s so slow today.
Gnoukori!!!! 😀
I think we should give kovacic free role, bring hernenes back to midfield instead of brazovic
Murillo.really good, if Kondo worth 40M , Kova worth at least 60M. Brozovic , Juan , I am enough watching you two.
Perisic and jovetic wil definitely improve attacking play.. so sad we will see mediocre in the second haaalf. I want to see more 🙁
much better then against bayern few days ago…not sure about palacio…i dont like him…shaq was better, but now is clear that we dont count on him, so sell him and buy attacker….i prefer pato and perisic…
Pato o.o he’s still alive?!?
we are so lucky to have handa. Kova is the king of the field. Murillo was also really impressive except for the goal miscomm between him and jesus. Kondogbia has class but was losing too much ball and wrong balls, he needs to ne more aggresive.. icardi was not involve so much in the game. And terrible game by brozovic. But overall, I am happy with the players..
Kondogbia was Inter’s best player in this game in my mind. He’s a BEAST!
Please dont change the player yet, just change brozovic to gnoukouri
don’t need to take the risk bro..
Too excited in here bro…
O yeahh… Mancini can hear me haha
I think since gnoukouri came in the result is not to good, because he placed in kova, and kova place more forward. I think hernanes will be better to replace brozovic, so kova still in his place
good match.
The power of kondogbia..
Kondogbia and murillo is amazing…. kova good today but he look nervous..
Mancini has got to lay off the orange spray tan lol xD
Man a lot of bad first touches in the box jeez
Palacio’s trademark.
More like icardi’s trademark
Ref is a biased asshole.
i really like juan as LB.
am i the only one that want santon out of inter? santon is not good enough. he is too stand-still and don’t offer much really
i don’t mind Santon leaving, he didn’t live up to his potention after he left Inter, but i’m not convinced about JJ. his crosses won’t cut it
I don’t know about Jesus , he just left murrillo against two players on that last run , he makes a pretty good amount of errors
actually you’re right. i think i spoke too soon :/
actually you’re right. i think i spoke too soon :/
Stream please!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay1sfe4iOH4
now that was poor marking
Who ? Can’t watch the game
why? you can watch it on youtube
it was either Rano or Murillo (can’t tell 23 or 24, only caught the replay)
juan should play as LB
Kovacic is absolutely killing it as holding mid.
so far he show some improvement in his game..
He just needs confidence. Mancio can make him a beast.
Yeahhhhh…
Thank god we still have handa
Murillo defenitely should be first team, disapointed by how palacio and brozo played until now
palacio,brozo and jj
Yeah JJ often out of position, santon will be better
If we have learned anything by now, it’s that Mancini doesn’t see Santon as a starter. Which is unbelieveble to me.
idk why mancini still use JJ for the LB… i reallly mad santon don’t get the starting eleven tonight…
JJ is improving, he ran twice more than Montoya, his movements and crosses are better. He’s versatile, and he can act as a Chivu for us when we are playing strong teams.
These comments coming from his first and foremost critic!
sorry bro, i disagree for this, JJ can act as chivu but faraway like him.. chivu much better than JJ.. JJ is suite for 3 man defense only..
Inter left back area always empty coz JJ “tired” after overlaping n crossing.. so i prefer santon or naga in LB, not JJ or danilo.. 🙂
Naga is a disaster, and JJ definitely needs improvement. I just think JJ versatility makes his case to stay in the club despite his low football IQ. And the pace of his improvement as a LB has impressed me.
At the end of the day I like the LB position to be handed either to Di Marco or Santon.
naga bad form coz he has not fully fit yet.. but still good for backup..
and now i agree ur last sentence.. 🙂
Brozo still under par compared to last year
fuck the reff
good display today..
we already showed more than againts Bayern and Milan combined
agree mate..
Hell yeah , good game so far 🙂
Imagine if jojo play over palacio, and medel over brozovic… Damn…
murillo surely an upgrade
miranda over rano
Hahaha how can i forget about that
And santon over Juan
And santon over Juan
Why in the world is JJ placed as the left back instead of Santon.
Lol ref?!?!
madrid player keep falling down..
Rano is too slow for Bale.
His reaction time with is good with bale , but I don’t expect him to keep with him lol
who isn’t? 😀
Santon should be at left back position then we can see Ronaldo vs santon part II
Aww man Icardi miss times his jump
When did Ranocchia get Bale speed lol
Left-back……..
Australian tv just called kova ‘kovachavic’ and Montoya as a center half…bruh wth?
