Stefano Pioli and Massimo rastelli have decided to fiedl the following 22 players in today’s Serie A fixture at the Stadio Sant’Elia in Cagliari.
Inter revert back to a 4-2-3-1 with Miranda returning after his suspension to join Gary Medel in the middle of the defence and Ever Banega being picked over Joao Mario playing just behind Inter captain Icardi up front.
Cagliari (4-4-2): Gabriel; Isla, Pisacane, Bruno Alves, Capuano; Ionita, Di Gennaro, Barella, Padoin; Joao Pedro, Borriello.
Substitutes: Rafael, Colombo, Crosta, Dessena, Miangue, Farias, Sau, Murru, Deiola, Ibarbo, Salamon, Tachtsidis.
Inter (4-2-3-1): Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Medel, Miranda, Ansaldi; Gagliardini, Kondogbia; Candreva, Banega, Perisic; Icardi.
Substitutes: Carrizo, Andreolli, Joao Mario, Palacio, Biabiany, Sainsbury, Santon, Eder, Murillo, Nagatomo, Barbosa, Pinamonti.

Don’t bother bro. The guy is just a K-dog hater. No reasoning there.
Don’t get me wrong Mario is one of my favorite players. Just that for the trekuartista a player with Banega’s attributes is more suitable.
He can make those passes all the time, players like him, Sneijder, Xavi, Pirlo are just made for that you know.
I’m not saying Mario is bad in any way just that he’s better in other positions.
For me Brozovic/Kondogbia should stay out. Especially Brozovic because the most of the time he brings confusion rather than clarity to our play.
It’s more than clear, history tells it and now this time with Pioli.
U can’t play without a regista, trekuartista or whatever. Mazzarri has done this, has failed, Mancini has done this, has failed. A midfield full of muscles is just a poor choice.
Happy to see Pioli learning from his mistakes. Banega is not the best but he’s all we got. He should get resting time but rather than that he should always be in the lineup.
man banega is one of the best available in the world we havnt seen the best of him yet
But Mario and Banega are not the same type of the player. It’s not like they carry out the same tasks.
Banega is a pure trekuartista like Sneijder was meanwhile Mario is a midfielder that plays everywhere,at both wings especially.
we dont win the decisive matches that is our weakest link
it is good we have 3 points, but it is only cagliari
After loooooooooooong time Inter wins 5-1. 😀 Maybe after 12 years.
Keep this starter. But change candreva with joao mario. All set!
Very good idea. Support
Only 2 players who didn’t attempt a shot today are Medel and Handanovic. Cool (beside nagatomo he came in late… and also he isn’t a player)
u forgot yogatomo mate
Nagatomo came in because Ansaldi was injured and limping.
Otherwise it would have probably been Gabi time
Pioli was right to use the true,serious subs he had on the bench,the serious team, Keeping the pressure high.
That way we even saw a goal from Gaglia.
The Pioli haters should really take a good rest and shut it for a while here.
He is making us into a team.
Gagliardini has finally found the net. We really missed a game like this where we used to have- a goal from a direct free kick (everyobody knew we had Adriano, Recoba, Cruz, Mihajlovic-to name only a few who were extremely good at this), a goal from distance by our midfielder (we had Stankovic, Cambiasso, in the past) and a penalty :). Next week, we must beat Atalanta so that we can surpass their position. Hopefully Lazio won’t win against Bologna. I thought Roma could have beaten Napoli but they were the one who were defeated. They just let Juventus stand firmly as usual. Roma and Napoli have been meant to challenge Juve for the last few years, but they didn’t have the mentality to grab the scudetto. Anyway, Belotti scored three goals against Palermo. I really want Inter to sign this kid. THIRD SPOT IS A MUST.
he uses too much power
Five Star Inter
Gaglia signing of the season!
lady’s and gentlemans this is King Banega for you
medel is a great CB , he is the next cordoba
stronger but not faster
his positioning is beast
its beyond beast he knows where to be, there were many doubting him i told them they were dumb
what a time to be alive gagliardini scored
Gaglia gol? I just go out.
Juve draw against udinese, is that makes you feel better? hahaha
Not really course Roma lost yesterday and we not anywhere near Juve
good display.. but why pioli to scare change candreva?? wtf
because ansaldi injured himself
Pioli supposed to change Candreva with Gabriel much earlier, before Eder!
scared? it’s tactical choice
tactical choice? lol
What tactical choice? We was leading 1-4 against Cagliari, not 0-0 at Camp Nou! If Gabriel isn’t good enough to play last 15 minutes, when we lead with three goals, probably he will never be! Let alone, that Candreva is our most clueless and ineffective player since winter break!
I don’t remember when last time we won by that goal difference.. maybe Sassuolo?
When last did we score 5 :'(
Against Sassuolo when we won 7-0?
THAT WAS SO LONG AGO MAN :'( leave me to be emotional lol …gg
We played great overall. We were the better team in the first half, but shaky at the back, I think the first half result was fair. We put it into a higher gear in the second half, pressuring more and it paid off, swept Cagliari aside. Nice to see a high scoring away victory, even if against 2nd worst defense in Serie A. We have been exceedingly more dominating on the home pitch this season, with some lackluster away performances. Overall, 3 crucial points, especially due to hard upcoming schedule. I don’t think CL can be reached this season, but we should still fight for 4th position, if we slip up too much we might even finish without EL due to the number of top teams this season.
Great game by Perišić, Icardi and Banega. Most of the team played well to be honest, they just stood out. Ansaldi was our worst player IMO, but I may be biased because I don’t have a good opinion of him right now. I really love the depth and quality in our midfield right now, we have 5 players (Banega, Joao Mario, Brozović, Gagliardini, Kondogbia) who can all be starters. Another assist by Icardi, his 9th, meaning he is tied for top assister. Shows how much he has grown as a player. Add on top of it that he also scored 17 goals so far, he has really been one of the best players in the league. Medel has been working out great as a CB, stopped us from going behind early in the game. Perfect ending to the game with Gagliardini finally scoring his first goal, it was long overdue, really happy for him. As far as tactics and coach go, I REALLY hope Pioli sticks to 4 at the back, it’s day and night difference when comparing to the 3-4-2-1 he has been forcing lately.
i still believe in third place somehow
i was hope roma to beat napoli yesterday, but you know what happen. and with that result , we need a miracle to finish 3rd
Me too had high hopes for that game…
Told you not to underestimate Napoli..
As someone already said: We win against napoli, and napoli loses against rube, we got the third place. If both teams win all other games. I know it’s “if we what against napoli??????” but I believe we can do that.
When is Juve-Napoli?
02. 04.
We would have the same number of points then and they have a better goal average I believe
Yes, shit, we must win 4:0 then or what? hahaha
Oh, and what if real wins against napoli? (just kiddin’)
There still 11 games ahead, anything can happen, napoli or rom can slip anytime
Big LIKE on that comment and analyses! And yes; I also agree with you 100% 🙂

If only Pioli had started at the beginning of the season.
If only We had bought two solid fullbacks instead of cute Ansaldi & Dumbo
We would be fighting for CL by now. Arrghhh…. regrets always come late.
just when i was about to vote Banega as MOTM, Gagliardini did THAT and not to mention his stability in midfield along the game, almost no mistakes
I expected a win here, but winning by scoring 2 goals on away ground is really refreshing to see.
2 goals?
you mean more than two goals!?^^
Gagliar!!!!
Last weeks defeat tastes even more bitter now
beautiful strike!
Hihi Naga over Gabi…
ansaldi was injuried..
Oh okay…
Finally… GOOOAAALLL… Gagliardiniii…!!!
WHAT A GOAL!!!
GAGLIARDINI FIRST GOAL!!!! Perfect ending to the game, so happy for him. It has finally arrived.
Gagliardini nice one!
GAGLIARDINI FIRST GOAL!!!!
It looked like Ansaldi was injured, otherwise I think we’d have seen Gabigiol today.
When? First Pioli put Eder and Joao Mario, not Gabriel, despite that Candreva for another game was terrible! And even if Ansaldi wasn’t injured and Pioli thought to put Gabriel in, that would be for only 4-5 minutes, which is a shame! If Gabriel can’t play when we’re leading 1-4 against Cagliari, when he will?
When Ansaldi came off, and Nagatomo came on, it was because Ansaldi was injured. Otherwise, some other player would come off, and maybe Gabigol or Pinamonti could play. Anyway, it was only a few mintues so it hardly matters.
4-1 AND STILL NO GABI ,, WTF PIOLI !
is someone miss Nagatomo…???
NINJA!
Seeing the table.. nothing has changed, -6 to rubbish team, -8 to Roma, and I thought Milan is lower.. they’re just behind us, I’m surprised.
Dont forget lazio, they are on fire right now
Oh yes, but they’re still playing in CI.
Lol chances for UCL are at less than 5% bro. Not much hope left but we must keep on winning
let’s buy Belotti this summer and have Icardi/Belotti on top!
Time to use the last sub
GABI !!! PIOLI !!!
Good news atalanta draw against fiorentina
The next, when we play against Atalanta, will most likely be the decider who finishes higher, us or them.
I hope pioli dare to use this formation against atalanta instead that 3-4-2-1 shit
and rube
I think it’s safe to say that Icardi most likely won’t be top scorer this season, but that is largely also due to him assisting a lot. He is tied for top assister after this game. I think he is top when it comes to goals + assists.
It will be Belotti
hope so, he’s been a revelation. at international level too
Being league top scorer or not, his value to us is huge
Ofcourse, it’s still nice if our players receive achievements like these.
how could he missed that chance?
lol, go for the power and miss a golden chance
I’m off. Night night fellow Inter fans. Sleep happy.
i just woke up after being out all night lol Im dizzy
poor finish there by Icardi…
should’ve settle for accuracy than power
Good damn it Icardi…How? Could’ve had another one.
wait.. it is that Ibarbo?
Yup
Rest miranda, candreva for the next match, play murillo and gabi
I don’t like today’s subs
Pioli straight up denying Barbosa…
