Did anyone see/ remember the long shot from Mario? If he adds shooting to his skills, I’m proposing. I’m getting down on a knee & Proposing.
sometime I miss brozo
I’m off. It’s 2.30 here. Late. YAWN….
Now for some mediocre, manageable matches. Hopefully we’ll win them & keep our run going. If we can keep Napoli away out, Juve,… huaaahahaha, prepare to get played-&-slayed.
I do hope we take Ramires on loan in the winter market, & not spend our money on that drunk Vidal. Then, we spend next summer with our usual top notch scouting & intelligence. No need for outlandish spending in Jan. Take that tall left footed defender from Man City & Ramires on loan, + maybe a smart purchase, maybe perform a miracle & sign Gimenez to a pre-contract for the summer (I got my eye on you), & we’re good to go.
By the way, I doubt we’ll sign Cancelo in the summer. 35m & we’re not even starting him at RB. Plus, Dambro is doing a decent job.
P.S.- And keep Mario. I still love him.
Could easily see the the dif between napoli and bbilan
I still don’t understand why we call them bbilan with double B ? Enlighten me, please
Serie b
😀 alright
thats why we call them rube too D
Hahaha no, it’s because they are robbers
Is the only time im happy with the draw
Passing skriniar was like freeing palastine in this game
wow how did u even thought of such comparision rofl
a point that would keep us on 2nd place even if rubentus win against udinese and lazio win against cagliari.. XD
Ambro played really well. Sometimes he cover skriniar as well.. i honestly so proud of the team, candreva and perisic are helping defence non stop! Gaglia and vecino did awesome as well. Miranda and miranda are so solid and ambro naga didnt make any stupid mistakes. Spalletti is genius. He face sarri with eye to an eye instead of heavily defending against greatest attacking force in the league. Kudos to everyone!
I’m proud of the team and Spalletti. I wished a bit more going forward, but this was a fine performance.
interesting that both sarri and spalletti subs their best player in the final 15 minute, like they are already agree with the draw result.
i thought napoli would wont not to lose their perfect start at all costs but seem they were happy with the result which proves our team improvements!
Spalletti sub in Eder in the last 5 minutes shows he still want to win this match. That is a winning mentality for sure.
Skriniar is a beast. What a purchase. Shut the Napoli team down, cut off their power, switched off the mother-board; shut them down.
Should Handa get a statue from Inter? We haven’t won anything while he’s been here, but he’s been a beast, a Durex INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH Condom, letting nothing get by. Now that he has Miranda in tow, it’s like he’s enjoying life again. That last season aged him horribly.
so handa = Durex INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH Condom!? LMAO.. XD
He’s kept our ‘virtue’ intact single-handedly in a lot of the matches.
Give everything handa wants..
When is BBilan vs Napoli? I bet 6-0 for Napoli against them.
Samp game will be tough we shouldn’t overlook them
ya
samp are last season atalanta at this point
Agreed! I remember most of us agreeing we’d be happy w 4 points after Bilan, Napoli and samp games, hope we can make it 7 points now
And I hate that guy. Quaglirella. He has triple motivation when facing us.
milan skriniar is hard as rock
*Guitar intro*, like in the AC/DC song…
First half I liked. Second half we just soaked up the pressure – and did it well, although I was close to heart attack the whole half. I would have wished more bravery attacking wise, but I guess Spalletti thinks we are not ready for more/the players couldn’t do more. Good game defensively and good result. I can’t complain too much.
At least we put an end to their win streak. To keep a clean sheet against Napoli is the highlight of tonight, don’t forget they put 4 past Lazio. I think we really deserve our spot in the table based on tonight’s performance.
cool!
We are solid. I don’t see a great collapse in results coming like in so many previous seasons.
Absolutely, I think our defense and much fewer goals against will be the reason we meet our CL goal as opposed to previous seasons
Vecino, Skirniar, Handa we’re top 3 for me.
Nagatomo good game
Great results we just ended Napoli perfect run while at the same time we’ll still be second place. Let others play catch up while we focus on our objective rather going all out and risk losing just for the sake of media’s scuddeto shit talk.
Vecino-Torreira-J Mario partnership seems perfect for UCL
Candy was a monster today. No assist but he defended a lot, & made some stunning runs. Ran his ass off. Couple this with the Milan performance & he’s topped up his support credit from the fans,
Inter played like a team. that’s for sure! Proud of this Spaletti’s team. Dedicated, work ethic, and team work= Foundations of the glory that has yet to come! Forza Inter!
D’ambro + Candreva understanding was enjoyable to watch.
If we play against juve, not napoli tonight, there will be tons of controversy! But tonight there were only 2 yellows and no one is hoping for controversy call
Enjoyable
This is so true. I bet when we play rube there will be VAR controversy.
A valueable point..it’s good to continue our undefeaded status against probably the strongest in italy at the moment…motm handanovic and skriniar too
Skriniar proves himself in each match. Napoli have the best attack but we cope well.
Motm
skriniar >>> milan’s bonnuci
Bon what?
bonERA
Waaaay better
BBilanista bragging whole summer that they have best defence in europe and laughing at skriniar purchase. Now, they have no face in front of us
satisfying results and good performance from all of our defender. liutenant skriniar once again doing a good job
Well deserved draw, Skriniar best player on the field for me. First team to steal point from Napoli this season. Still the best defense in Serie A so far. Forza Inter!
Great game, thanks to Spalletti and the boys…
Draw is a fair result. FORZA INTER SEMPRE!!!
Wow never thought before that we are going to have a high level and play in the same par as napoli. Everyone gave their all and so proud of them. Bravo spalletti
I’ll take the draw. Juve will catch up to us tommorow, but we’ve already seen off Roma & Napoli away + Fiorentina & Milan.
Solid performance.
Handa, Skriniar and Candreva did well today.
ambro did quite good as well
Vecino is surprisingly good. Someone said that a fiorentina fans are more devastated to have lost Vecino than the lesbi Bibierdeschi.
MOTM = Skriniar + Handa
Candreva
Yeah, loves his hardworking and the superb effort. But this time, I give my double thumbs for Skriniar for shutting down Napoli’s dynamic attack. Considering his age, I am so surprised to see that He was so calm.
Scout and director did a good job
Nagatomo
I gave it to D’ambro.
Literally perfect.
Not a single mistake.
see you in san siro!
good result for us.. handa and candreva are our best players tonight.. but all of them played well..^^
Well take it, great game. Very tactical and no controversies, no BS. Napoli are just too good.
draw is a fair result thou.
We should have won this, they are tired!! Bad game for me
lol
It’s a good result for us.
But I’m disappointed Joao Mario didn’t preform well.
Probably because he is not 100% fit. But the majority of people here were expecting him to come from the bench. Some people here do agree that he’s been good when coming from the bench. Also, Valero can’t do anything in the last 30 min. Brozo is still injured. So, Mario is the only option. I was expecting Eder to come as AM though. But it might be too risky.
great game!
