The lunch match against Chievo on Sunday is fast approaching and it seems Roberto Mancini already has a starting lineup thought up. Seeing as Miranda will not be playing the coach is thinking about giving Kondogbia a rest and giving Brozovic or Gnoukouri a chance to play. But he might ask the French midfielder to power through and play. In attack it seems that Mancini is intent on giving Ljajic the chance to play while resting Jovetic.

They are tired after only 3 matches?Are you kidding me.We will play with very tough opponent and usually we have big problems with Chievo.We need to play with our best players so Jo Jo and Kondo must be in starting eleven.Only Ljajic can play instead Perisic after his weak debut in derby.And maybe Telles if Juan is not 100% fit..
the coach who watches his players training everyday doesn’t know that his player is tired and you dickhead know that!!!!!
as i know, Mancio always plays his highest-paid player in every match, like Toure in City. So i guess he’ll play Kondo and rest Jovetic.
The line up should be:
Handa-Santon-Murillo-Medel-JJ- Kondo-Guarin/Brozo-Melo- Ljajic-Icardi-Perisic
Only mancini and the staff know if a players fatigue would get the best of him. So if kondo isn’t up to, I say rest him
I just hope we can field our absolutely first team lineup vs Fiorentina. That stuff is the deal breaker when it comes to competing for the top spots.
Me too, I would give anything to beat those A-holes and continue the streak. I agree on resting players for a more important match, especially player like jojo who are injury prone
So Fiorentina are a new member of our hate list.. lolll
They actually said we should drop to seria b because we were trying to negotiate with salah. Fuck em.
I don’t really hate them.. but they need to be taught a lesson (after their pre-season salah drama).. and i only hope that we will be up to the challenge..
Mate, they’ve definitely moved up the hate list…..at least to 3rd!!
Nah, not really, I hate Jube and Milan the most, no doubt, but Fiorentina are that pesky team that always gives you trouble and ends up leaving you with 0 points and with the feeling “we should have won this, they are not that great”.
agree.. this is why it doesn’t make sense to rest player (unless they risk an injury) on sunday and field them on wednesday and then they will be dragging themselves against Fiorentina
I agree with playing Ljajic and Brozo on Sunday.. but Kondo you can relax him during Wednesday’s match against Verona.. yes we won the derby but don’t get cocky
I won’t be able to watch, what do you guys think, keep off internet and watch it when I get home or check the score via phone? I definitely hope we can win this, 4 win streak and 12 points would be freaking amazing. But it will be a really tough one if Chievo perform like they did in the last 3 games.
I say keep off the net – but I know curiosity will get the best out of anyone 🙂
hehee.. when i know i can’t watch game live.. i switch off my data connection.. I have absolutely no willpower
it’s gonna be a challenge and good test against a very solid mid-table team.. and I’m totally with Mancio’s decision to start with Ljajic.. we need to diversify our attack.. brozo from the middle and Ljajic from the side.. the 12 points would be great.. but 12 points and and lose for Jube would be a much much better night
IMO this is a rare momentum for inter fans right now. we just won 3 straight games including a derby. for me it feels like i want to watch every second of our matches because its so beautiful to watch inter right now. so if i were in ur position and i have the possibility to watch it later i would watch it later instead of watching the score online. 🙂
I agree. I will watch the game in any case, I just hope I can hold off from seeing the result before I watch it, it isn’t the same magic if you know what will happen.
Btw, I posted this one day but Serie A is testing a streaming app, which is set to start this weekend only streaming three matches and Inter’s match is one of them you can try downloading the app 🙂
Eh, the problem is not that I can’t watch, my TV program will broadcast it, the problem is I wont be home to watch it and I can’t exactly watch it via phone where I’m going hehe.
I rarely can watch the live match because of my work and i always record the games when i can’t watch most of all, i watch the tape later and i didn’t check any news regarding Inter on the internet before it, it just won’t feel the same..
Chievo smashed Lazio and got robbed versus shitventus. I’m not sure about resting but our players are good and i think we should win again.
exactly.. i saw their match against Jube.. they were really good and organized.. very hard to penetrate their defence.. as Zoki said I also hope Mancio doesn’t underestimate them
Chievo will be a hard opponent, and I hope Mancini doesn’t underestimate them. It will be quite a test.
I think mancini doesn’t underrstimate chievo at all. He know that chievo is tough team and currently at 2nd place. Maybe he is more aware that jojo’s leg need rest and kondogbia as well. And after all he wants to give a shoot to ljajic and gnou/brozo. It is good because we need to make sure that all the squad is ready. After all brozo / gnou need time to play.
I agree, and I have faith in Mancio, we are really doing stuff by a plan here. I think we have a chance to see this develop. And I must give it to him, if he continues like this, he is also improving on the subs a bit.
You believe in god you believe in mancio
Now, a little test for Mr. Mancini if this team really good. Inter will face 3 matches in 1 week. Just 3 first matches Inter player Miranda, Juan Jesus, Icardi and Perisic already injured. Hope no more injured player.
Give Brozo the chance. Rest JoJo unless we need him in the Second Half and give Telles a start.
Kondogbia isn’t any better than gnoukouri. matter of fact, other than his cute little dribbles i don’t see how he justifies the 30m+ price. in kova’s case he had good passing. but kondogbia is just poor. not impressed by his defending ability nor his attacking ability.
Are you kidding me? He has easily been our best midfielder this season. He justifies every single penny if you consider his age and potential. And you would say Moutinho is world class while Kondogbia is poor? Seriously?
I can see why some people are sceptical about him.. he is a powerhouse in the midfield but he unfortunately he is showing nervousness sometimes which I believe is due to his young age and also trying to prove the he is worth the price tag and up to the expectations.. If you are reading Kondo, we believe in you.. relax and kick some ass…
According to him, MELO is our best midfielder. What else do you expect?!
Melo???Really?
stay quiet while elders are talking
i thought that was a given already. i’m sure a large amount of people would say so..
Yes. I haven’t seen anything that justfies his price. Is say we are buying potential rather then current ability which upsets me because we’re not I’m a position to waste anymore money.
But he has current ability. He is one of our best, if not the best midfielder we have now, and he is only 22. Only gets better from here on now. If you think Kondogbia was a bad purchase, we have nothing to talk about really.
“he is only 22” that’s my issue here. i just feel like it’s the kovacic scenario all over again.
do you think inter are in a position to wait on players? i just think kondogbia defines style and no substance. little of that.
i know i have an odd opinion. i was bashed for prasing melo before. my point is why buy kondogbia when you have better available options. potential is something inter can’t rely upon which was evident in the kova situation.
How does he have no substance? Thats the difference between him and Kovačič. Both have amazing potential, but Kondogbia is good right now. He is bossing the midfield and always has presence. I mean, he is our best midfielder while he is 22 and can only improve. That makes him a really good purchase, even at that money.
i disagree.
He already proved you wrong. If he keeps this form, it just means he can prove you wrong consistantly.
are you speaking for me? i guess not. don’t put words into my mouth.
i haven’t seen anything impressive from him yet. nothing at all. he may improve but i’m not sure this deal was bright. bye.
Kondogbia can dribble through midfield while sticking Gundogan’s head in Moutinho’s ass.
lolllll.. good one
Lollllll
hahahah…good one!
This is gold lol
No end product. He’ll dribble a few players and end up,losing the ball 90% of 5he time.
now you think you are always right, yeah bro?
that’s an opinion. learn to accept it.
i accept it mate, i backed you in melo talks but mentioning it in another post is not right thing
i was proving that i have an unpopular opinion. and i will always stand by it no matter what. inter cannot rely on potential which we saw with kovacic. that’s the thing.
that’s the truth
moutinho?r u kidding me?
lol right!
FIFA ratings are not reality.
What about him? Is kondogbia any better?
Y-E-S
lol.
Mark my word that PSG, City, or and Chelsea and perhaps Barcelona too will be tempted to buy this poor player for at least twice the price we bought him from Monaco, dude i’m still grieving for the departure of Kovacic too, but to said that Kondo is not good, it is not realistic at all..
Hahahaha..
Make yourself ready,next year murillo and kondogbia will be hunted by epl clubs,psg,madrid,etc..
I hope they will stay for a long time with us
Check your head dude…
