In a game Inter completely dominated, it took Inter 85 mins to be in the lead. The result was never in doubt once Icardi scored. Find out who fared well tonight.
Handanovic – 6: Didnt have anything to do in the 1st half apart from picking the ball out of the net, made a few regulation saves in the 2nd. Wasnt tested really!
D’Ambrosio – 5.5: Typical D’Ambrosio performance. Made a major mistake that silenced the Meazza. Nothing good came in attack with him and Candreva tonight
Murillo – 6.5: Our defense wasnt tested much tonight, but Murillo looks like he did at the start of the last season. Strong, moved the ball well and brought solidity
Miranda – 6.5: Commander in chief of our defense. He kept going on and on and was impossible to beat tonight. It scares me that we dont have backup for him
Ansaldi – 6.5: Great first half performance and used all his experience to create lots of opportunities on the left side. Sacrificed when we went chasing a goal
Gagliardini – 7: What a debut! Certainly doesnt look like he doesnt have enough experience. On another day he would have opened the scoring. Onwards and upwards!
Kondogbia – 7: Fantastic performance, he was impossible to beat tonight. The only way you could beat him if he made a mistake. Strength, technique and discipline
Candreva – 6: Not his best performance and drove the Meazza mad with his constant crossing attempts with his left foot. Great crosser when he gets its right.
J.Mario – 6: Had a great start to the game and dropped into spaces to create trouble for Chievo. Was poor in the 2nd half though and right substituted out
Perisic – 7: Invaluable to Pioli’s Inter. Ran for 90 mins, ran for 2 men. Played as a left wing back when we went chasing an equalizer. Scores when we need it most!
Icardi – 7.5: He won the ball that led to Perisic’s winner while chasing in minute 86. Oh and that was after scoring past an unbelievable Sorrentino tonight. Capitano.
Eder – 6.5: Did exactly what Pioli would have wanted him to do. Never stopped running, won a lot of fouls, ensured more space for Icardi and Perisic. Impactful.
Banega – 6: Added the hustle that J.Mario couldnt bring in the 2nd half. Also tuned in to the same frequency as Icardi and Perisic. Fantastic option on the bench
Palacio – 6: Ran and ran and closed down at every opportunity. That no look pass towards the edge of the box was all because he was closing down in Chievo’s box
Stefano Pioli – 7: 6 wins in a row. The mentality he has created is nothing short of world class. We are fighting to each and every ball and playing fast, direct. Perfection!
Piero Giacomelli- 6.5: Got most decisions right. His assistants should have helped him better with some ricochet’s but that about the only fault with him tonight
Inter – 7.5:Best 45′ I have seen this season in the first half. Played like a big club tonight and each and every player gave 110%. Cant ask for more that that
