You know what, this team play is extremely boring. No idea at all, zero creativity, slow motion pace. We can argue, where’s the problem, tactics, coach, preparation, players, part of everything combined, etc. Football is supposed to be entertainment for the fans, but this team can bored you to death. They really can made you, to give up watching football. This is disaster. Icardi can play hundred games with those players behind him and won’t score, because they can’t create even one miserable opportunity.
Let just we all hope mancini make the subs in time. That’s the only thing I am worried about now.
for Him in time means 88
Clearly the midfield has failed to break bologna’s defence and now they’ll play very defensively wasting time as much as they can. We need attacking minded players-jovetics,biabiany for Kondo and brozo
No draw please!!!!!
Lol and people blame Icardi for not scoring XD
not for not scoring, but for not trying anything! He doesn’t move or try to make a run, is just wainting in the box all the time!
I understand that and if this is how the mid plays, then mancini shouldn’t use icardi alongside them
With this awful team play, even Messi, Ronaldo and Aguero combined can’t score. Icardi’s job is to be in the right place in the penalty area, because he’s central forward.
I know I know!
Icardi ?? I haven’t seen him lately, he was on the pitch really XD ?
Tragedy. If someone doesn’t know the meaning of this word please watch Inter. No idea whatsoever
An urgent sub should be made, Jovetitc In Brozo Out, Biabiany In Kondo Out
why kondo lol?
I think kondo play well… brozo juz like disapear… we need jojo
He did a quite good job, I just saw that we needed some movement while Kondo, Melo and Brozo were more defensive ones, and we were playing against Bologna … 😀 last of the league
Leave kondo XD we won’t have a mid
Kondo has actually been playing quite well in the first half, bounced back from the really bad Palermo game.
It has nothing to do with players that we’re lacking. It has everything to do with the team play. NO ONE attacks space in this team to give an outlet to their teammate for a pass. It’s always two players playing with each other while the rest of the team watches and waits for something to happen. Absolutely no fluidity. Mancini’s fault at this point
Sack Mancini and bring Mourinho back
Always no idea how to fight “Bus Parking” tactics
I think our wingers forgot how to wing.
I think our midfield forgot how to midfield, they are all defensively oriented players with no creativity.
At least Ranocchia still remembers how to Ranochhia. But atm our best midfielder is Melo, and I don’t think that’s a good thing.
true – the only quality player on the pitch!
Actually I think Kondogbia has been the best midfielder in the first half.The opposite of last game vs Palermo.
I expect a lot more from him, he made several mistakes in the beginning, but endured well from then on. Melo, however, has been surpassing my expectations from day one.
Yeah I get that we expected less by Melo and more by Kondogbia, but that aside, they played about the same so far today.
I don’t expect much from felipe today… he’s afraid of the yellow
not the best, Melo has been not loosing a single ball I think, but true Kondog is trying a lot and going forward a lot too! Broso, Ljajic, Icardi, Santon have all been crap!
Yeah.. worst than palermo game..
Yeah if Guaro was playing, Bologna would be already celebrating hehehe.
same old shit different day..
Always no clue how to create chances.. ffs what are we playing? passing competition?
let’s face it mancini is clueless and so the players..
even bologna have more dangerous attacks..
Alright I think we need to bring back Wesley sneijder, we need more control in the midfield and I think he would be a perfect attribute, sell rano, naga, and other players we don’t need and we will have the funds for him
I think Sneijder has burned some bridges with us :3
deffently – and have you guys seen him play lately??
I definitely haven’t… so I don’t have an opinion on him
saw him twice against Iceland for Holland – and he is so slow, always taking 3-4 touches on the ball! He won’t bring anything to this team..
we can’t afford his wages, but Xhaka is a perfect guy for that role
If we sell everybody we need to and not have so many extra players we could afford him
Or maybe bellerabi
bellarabi is a right winger
i think we need that Turkish free kick guy
We cant create chances against a team fighting relegation….this is a new low
It’s not really suprising. We have no connection between attack and midfield. Icardi and 2 wingers waiting for a good ball that will never come because our midfield plays with 3 defensive mdifielders.
plus our team is build for fighting – that’s why I think we will do well against the big teams, but we are struggling against the teams parking the bus
Yeah. Its good vs big teams, defend well and compact, but it won’t fucking work if the other team locks down as well. Then you just get a draw like in the last few games.
Bologna is really parking the bus were more doing that
What is our passing accuracy? Like 50%?
At the end of the match we will hear fucking mancini saying we played a great match
This is a truely “year zero” – I guess we sould have been one down with Stramma now…;)
Play like this and we will get destroyed by Roma fml
or not .. it could go both ways.. I’ve seen that our team is responsive .. but they don’t provoke anyone ..
we gon get rekd
This team needs to depend on more than just jojo… I really hope we can pick up someone great in the winter transfers
Ljajić with a shot on goal in the first half extra time so we atleast have one shot on goal…
my thought excatly!!
i believe this team lacks a Modric or Pirlo type of player.. no one beyond the Ljajic creates something nice
a world class player you mean or a “regista”? The regista was what Mancini wanted this summer remember, but didn’t get…
no, mancini wanted only cdms
a regista is one of these … the wanted the dude who went from Atelico to Fiorentina (and isn’t playing) and Thiago…
you got me wrong, mancini wanted only cdms with strength and phisicallity not even a creative one
thiago is a creative one… and the ex-atelitco is
a regista… but if the regista could be a WC player that would be great.. I have to agree with @disqus_Z3ZcJxDjfY:disqus .. Plus thats how he likes to play perhaps he created his own chances while playing so he doesn’t understand the fact that a striker needs to be fed
I think he knows that fact – him being and old “feeder” himself 😉
And then their coach goes and says “We played good or deserved the win or tie”, no you didnt play good, you played like your usual self, a serie B team, we played like shit
2nd half brozo off Jovetic on .. all team will be looking like a star stud team
and medel on for Ranno – Bologna is waiting to overrun him all the time (knowing he is slow as fuck) and eventually they will score! Plus Ljajic has been invisible!
Wow this team plays so poorly
I hear that Jovetic guy is pretty good, maybe he can enter in the 2nd half?
Mancini:”Guarin to be subbed on you say?”
or Palacio.. loll
Mancini be like: “No need, we controlled the ball more than them”
“Posession wins the games, right?”
Mancini be like :”I’m sure Icardi will score soon”
Guardiola quote?
Why only Ljajic and Kondogbia cares about the result?
we are jojo addicted
oh boy…..
Boooooring first half.
Isn’t it always?
Derby D’Italia was very nice.
Lol when I sent my comment, Derby D’italia instantly popped into my head and I was “please don’t say derby D’italia please don’t say it”
Watching Inter is not exciting anymore… but this love…
well done santon.. wtf rano.. and kondo no need to kill any players today
Taider receive bullet hit or what
Suiting name for Ferrari
Ranocchia might need a new pair of legs after Ferrari made a fool out of him.
or a skirt
he just led him pass him!!
what the actually fuck
Rano hug attack
enoughof this Brozovicshit. Sold him asap
yeah more time for guarin … lol
Guarin is better than Brozo anyway
…only in that one good game of 10 matches played.
Brozo confused himself lol
Great first touch by Brozo /s
Game after game No improvement, same old shit team same old shit mentality
if it’s same old shit I won’t be angry.. but we are going from bad to worse with every match
so 35 mins not a single shot on goal.
well done JJ
Rannochia you Dumbfuck
Haha the rano dance. How I’ve not missed it
I still remember when we lost 3-0 to Bologna at home all goals by Di Vaio or who I don’t recall, that bald man and all because of Rano blunder.
We need Mourinho lol
Anyone missing Kovacic’s dribbles?
Kov who?
Me and my dad were talking about that right now, we should’ve never sold him, I think we should’ve just kept our players from last year and just buy the defense and maybe jovetic
He had never been using those dribbles in order to create goal opportunities. He played his tricks randomly and in a very sensless way
If it did anything in matches that weren’t friendlies…
I juz thinking it
We dont need a dribbler, we need a play maker like Sneijder because the team looks clueless
ohhh sneijder.. how much we need someone like you now..
First 30 minutes over… time to score XD
based on our current performance.. we will not get many chances.. so when we have one make it count.. wtf
what a miss!
retarded perisic
That was an easy header Perišić, cmon.
Seriously… we need someone other than jojo to start some real attacking play
When you have so many wrong passes from players like Perisic it’s not a lack of skill. It’s a lack of motivation.
agree.. it’s frustration..
or maybe because he has played VERY game this year! When will he be rested?
20 minutes and we are awful….no, we suck!
Kondo really good,,,,!!!
yep he is getting in the game now!
And Perisic once more thinks that he is ambidextrius
Perisic is dumb as Nagatomo, only veeery high cross to nobody…
We are soo shit i cant believe it
Peresic…. get your head in the game
He’s playing brutal right now
I dont understand how small teams that gets relegated every season such as Bologna play the game of their lives, we are just unlucky faak
They’re not getting lucky we are the ones getting lucky, we should lose every game. We play like absolute shit
i think someone should tell them it’s not a friendly match
defender passes to midfielder, midfielder to fullback, fullback to striker, striker to defender
We are literally having pass practice between defensive midfielders and defense ffs.
Kondogbia barely walk. Its good he has sense for positioning
And some people from this site said 4-2-3-1…
I was laughing back than like Im laughing now.
Go forward steadily, get blocked, pass back to the defenders, long pass forward, lose the ball, repeat. Great.
It’s because these players are frickin motionless lol
Mancini is playing them so defensive. Even on attack, only Icardi is anywhere near the goal. We are playing afraid vs Bologna.
Our midfielders are good at containing the ball. Perfect for when we’re winning. But we have no creativity in the mid right now, no ideas forward.
Brozović and Ljajić like “no you take it”
17 minutes of nothing promising. Lets start playing boys.
Bologna are pressing us well. We’ve been struggling against such teams for years, I hope I’m wrong but I think we might be having another bad game.
Mancini is very clever, to move Miranda as left centre back to separate JJ and Ranocchia…
No jojo no party
Mancini relies on luck.
any good streams guys?
http://sports-tv.ro/Digi-Sport-3-Online.html but it’s in romanian
awesome.. thanks.. now let’s hope we win..
Why are the players scared of moving forward!?
seems like Mancini is scared to attack in first 30 minutes each game
Mancini needs to Fucking go, he does not know how the coach, he can’t even place players correctly. All Mancini is, is a good talker. We cannot keep tying and it looks like he’s okay with tying. If he doesn’t win against Bologna by 3 goals he should go.
win by 2 goals is ok to me
2 goals would be nice but I doubt that’s gonna happen I have a feeling we’re gonna lose by 2, it feels like we’re always playing on the defense every game we play. I see teams like Palermo control the game and are in the offensive zone the whole time and were never in the offensive zone. And why play brozovic when you have biabiany on the bench, he was the star player last game.
a win’s a win’s a win’s a win!
Is it just me or is brozo’s control on the ball much better than before?
he is a very underrated YOUNG (22-23 I think) player!
I hope Kondogbia gains some confidence/gains some form fast, we need him. He was awesome in the first few games.
Rano 🙂
Rano+JJ= horror defence
Kondo is very nervous, melo should pinch him or something
Perišić is so quick, he literally got from midfield to corner flag just by outrunning on the wing. Lost the ball foolishy in the end but still, we need such pace.
Hope Icardi scores, he needs a break.
Like this line upp a lot and resting Jojo+Medel is a great move.. and having Guerin away is fine as well..
only thing I fear; Ranno on the pitch and Melo getting a yellow…
I thought so to but then somebody reminded me that Mancio may just be resting Guarin for the Roma match hahaha *horror intensifies*
Guarin is one yellow card from suspension so your nightmare makes sense…
Crucial three points! Lets do this!
I hate midweek games, I can never watch them 🙁
dont worry guys this match we already won
I hope win by 3 goals
wow this line up is very suprising, i just hope the formation plays as 4-3-3 and not 4-5-1, i want ljajic and perisic to be free from any defensive duties and focus on the attack
I’m also a bit worried, will Mancio play Guarin against Roma from the start? Then we’ll be doomed!!!
No… oh god… PLEASE NO!
Maybe after he get bench, he will become great like against Milan, LOL. The most inconsistent man.
Oh god you’re right, I hope he is not just resting him to use him vs Roma hahaha.
Jojo for Icardi in second half and a chance for Gnou if we have a 2 goals lead pls
I hope guarin doesn’t happen
Mancini this formation!
I’m not worried about Rano starting. But I’m worried about Rano and JJ playing right next to each other. :v
Dumb and dumber >:D
Finally normal and logical line uo. Lets hope it is 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1.
or even worse..4-3-2-1
Yiha, no Guarin and Ljajic play as starter. If Rano mess again this game then he really should leave in January
Even as someone who defended Rano, I believe he should leave before he loses all his value due to sitting on the bench. Hopefully we could make 7+ m from him.
10 M
we have to invest again a lot of money this winter
Who pays 10+ for a bench player?! Unless we find a EPL customer!
Rano is 4th option as CB. Even worse, if Vidic fit maybe Rano become 5th option. How we gonna sell this player?
Medel on bench? I’m pleased because of Ljajic, but Ranocchia? Oh Jesus…
Medel on bench so he can fit against Roma. While Rano let us hope he doesn’t mess this match.
Jesus ? he is LB xD
I see. One is a big problem for us, but both of them at the same time always bring us trouble.
hope this is 4-3-3 and not 4-3-2-1
I was sure that Mancio would play Ljajic in this match. He’s not that idiot to bench him and play Palacio.
On one side, Ljajić, get fucking in. On the other side, Ranocchia…
I had the same exact thought, btw do you know how many matches Murillo is banned for?
only for this match i think
I think only this match, back for Roma.
have a faith
Mancini gave Medel some rest. No need to worry!
He got a red card lol
Hes suspended lol.
You forget the Guarin part
Yeah I wanted to edit the post to include Guaro as well but by then so many people replied I didn’t want to change the original message.
Mancio just couldn’t disappoint us by not pissing us off. Hope Rano has a great game, tho.
WOW! Is that Ljajic or am I dreaming?
It was rumored that ljajic wasn’t training well or something of the sort.. I guess it’s sorted now.
