Join us over at @SempreInterCom and @Interstats for the live coverage of this important midweek game
I am okay with the bad final 30 minutes as it was clearly tired legs after Milan and Napoli game with the same starting eleven.
Samp’s first goal was lucky. And their second goal was because Santon didn’t mark Quaglirella.
I disagree with Spaleti’s sub choice though.
But anyway, Forza Inter.
We need to add a warrior-type midfielder to give a breath for Vecino. Playing Borja until the end of match shouldn’t be wise decision. In alternative, we buy high technical-mid, like verratti or torreira, to keep team’s ball possession.
This is Inter now under Spalleti, we are a team. we win as a team, and we suck as a team!
Best comment ever!”…,and we suck as a team!”
Perisic need to be more clinical
Why the hell is spalletti refusing to use the bench,you cant keep playing the same players for the whole year.he needs to grow a pair and give other players opportunity,look how well karamoh played and then he hasnt had a chance to play again,fuck off
Just checked the result again, LOL, I was sure Quagliarella scored both goals, but he won’t. Great 1st half, shame about those posts & bars, and unnecessary 2 goals for Samp. Valero and Mario should never play with each other. Vecino is criminally underrated. My MotM is Skriniar anyway, for 1st goal and many clearances.
…”criminally underrated”… LoL.
nevermind xD
WTF SPALLETTI? We could have maintain our balance if spalletti introduce new players earlier. ffs
Putting tired borja into the middle is equal to asking gaglia to work alone and instant conceded 2 goals!
Im so pissed off right now.
Is spalletti really is going to rely on only 13 players for the rest of season??????
he is an idiot when it comes down to player selections
no he is not…
kind of,he doesnt know when to put in certain players
I wonder why he gets easily paid 5 -6 millions a year and is on top of his profession world wide, while you…..whatever
I have some idea of who the actual idiot around here is, but I am not going to say it.
Facts speak for themselves.
Inter on top of Serie A.
Lack of concentration on the 2nd half, Mario really poor add nothing to the team, should’ve subbed off Gaglia instead of Vecino. Thank God we still got the three points. Spalletti has some work to do, at the beginning of the season we only plays good 2nd half and now since the derby game we keep losing focus in the last 45′.
Congrats for the win….meanwhile it was heartbreaking. Forza inter!!!!
Great win, but oh so poor sub decisions. I’m losing hope for J. Mario. I’m sadly asking whats up with Dalbert… And I’m hoping for Karamoh atleast against f-ing Verona.
Yeah, Santon over Dalbert seemed a curious decision.
Mario expected, but so, so bad…
i think he just want to give santon a chance. but sadly to say, santon don’t looks good at all..
Aside from the heart attack I almost had, I’m not sure it’s an entirely bad thing we won this 3-2 instead of 5-0. Yeah I know goal differential is a thing, but those last 30 minutes will hopefully keep the team on their toes in training. I mean a couple seasons ago we were in 1st place at week 18, then plummeted to 5th, finally finishing in 4th. Let’s not repeat that please.
It should have been 5-1 or something
Pffff
mario got his chances, but he is so slow
spaletti need to give warning to the players, never let loose in a match or they will comeback to bite you.
terrible2nd half.. Vecino is the only one who has defensive awareness in midfield.. Gagli and valero was asleep and not helping the defense at all in 2nd half..
Samp’s first goal was too easy, should easily be prevented by Handa.
F you Coach, toying with our heartbeat… Congrats, you succeed..
supposed to be easy win but we have to made it difficult end ourself
This is what we call Pazza Inter Amala..!! Forza Inter and good night guys..!!
Pazza indeed
This was largely down to Spala not subbing first and then making all the wrong calls. Should’ve taken Gagliardini out for Joao Mario as he was all over the place. Dalbert in for Nagatomo. Also Karamoh or Cancelo earlier at the start of the half to give Cavdreva a breather.
I love how fans think nagatomo is an actually good defender,he is average at best,dalbert is much better but spalletti is being hard headed,he needs to use the bench,we just played Saturday and now he will call up the same players to play again this weekend.we wont win with the same starting 11
I’d like to see dalbert too. But Spal had to choose what he thinks are his best eleven against an in-form Samp
fine i agree but you cant use 14 players for the whole year,on saturday i would start karamoh dalbert and cancelo and jm
gaglia was good but in last 5min did a lot off mistakes…i totaly agree that spal should made changes earlier but was spot on with first eleven.
three points stay at home so its all good!!
FORZA INTER
Tired legs cost us 2 goals, thanks God its not 2 point fly away…
Congratulations to all interista. Have a nice sleep. 3.43 at this moment.
I’ll take the win. 3 more points in the bag. On to the next. Let’s hope Napoli & others struggle. And Milan are now considering Gattuso or Sousa to replace Montella. That should put a smile on our faces.
Sousa is not a bad coach in my opinion.He has his own style and his own ideas,a bit unlucky on his second season with fiorentina!
No No… Fassone put 100% extreme trust on Montella.
Mario is never an AM, he doesn’t play well there.
Like to see him in CM, role like Valero for some games… He’s def not a AM, he’s been given alot of opportunities and has one good game (Roma).
Poor decisions by Spalletti… Both fullbacks needed to be subbed earlier and we shouldn’t have allowed them to put that much pressure on us.
it’s like watching a romance. sweet first, cloud with a slight chance of tragic end :/
frustrating final minutes
i turned it off at 3-2
POOR 2nd HALF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VECINO WAS OUR BEST PLAYER!!!!!
fuck you mario
Why do I need to have a heart attack before we win?!?!
Today’s game was an absolute run-over for Sampdoria, we dominated the game so hard. 15 shots in first half, 3 posts hit on top of 3 goals… Or so it seemed until their first goal when Inter turned to Pazza Inter mode. It’s rather shocking how close we were to a draw considering we were even closer to being like 5-0 up before their first goal.
D’Ambrosio has been playing like prime-time Zanetti the last 3 games, Nagatomo has been playing quite good as well. Škriniar continues to impress game after game. Icardi putting goals away as usual. Great match for Valero, we have found some good midfield consistency with that Valero, Gagliardini, Vecino setup. The latter one has been low-key one of the best transfers this summer. Not a flashy player but so brilliant – hard working, regaining possession, calmly distributing ball, occasional great box-to-box runs… Candreva is also lookine like at his best the last 3 games, really useful. Perišić was so unlucky not to score, hit the post 2 times, and one of those shots was almost from the halfway line.
Overall, strong performance for Inter until their first goal, then rather shocking moment of Pazza Inter.
frustrating ends to the match
Even with 3-0 lead, inter make you stress till the end of the match
what the f*ck happen with handa?? hope just not his moment. but the team are f*cked up after 75 minutes…??
midfield was tired,didnt have enough hunger to score and outplay samp…in my opinion spal would need to sub in j. mario earlier and should off brought borja off and maybe put eder in for candreva so our tempo would not drop…
Poor Santon, it was his job to mark Quaglirella.
This is really hard to watch. We thrashed Samp pillar to post for 70 minutes, & yet we’re under severe attack right now.
please please please
I think Mario won’t be at Inter next year. It is early to say but he really doesn’t suit Spalletti
It’s so weird. He looked amazing to me when we first bought him. So it seemed like everyone was figuring he would break out this year, but he’s looked really bad lately.
I don’t see him being able to play in the middle he did had his chances but he is realy inconsistent when playing in the middle he should be placed in the wing IF he gets another chance!
We haven’t played Mario in CM yet, I would atleast like to see him there. Essentially role Valero plays when he’s there.
Mario is invisible, Vecino subbed off was a mistake.
Valero+Gags in MF is bad paring, especially when tired
3 min added time
Hold onto the freaking possession ppl
I want to cry. Fck.
I like spalletti but why the hell does he wait so long too make substitute’s and why no dalbert and karamoh,is it on inters blood to always leave off good young players? match
When he first joined us it was one of the big negatives Roma fans had against him. He waits until 80th minute to make a sub
Sounds like Mancini…
santon’s a bit shaky
Spal goofed up here. Players were tired, we were up 3-0 & he didn’t bring on fresh legs. Now, we have to fight for a win. We brought this on ourselves.
wait did they draw the game?
It’s 90th minute, 3-2 for now.
I TURNED THE STREAM OFF. HOPE WE DONT DRAW
Poor rating for Spalletti IMO… stopped putting pressure and didn’t make subs correctly
Why is Candreva being run into the ground? 90 minutes twice in 4 days is much for a winger.
subbing off vecino was a mistake
Big one
Spalletti like everyone in this chat thought the game was won. Vecino is our most important midfielder and he wanted to rest him I guess
this is all because of Spalletti faults, too comfortable to do sub
Classic Inter, gonna make us shiver till the end
All subs make no sense…it’s like Spala wants Sampdoria to have a chance
lol. if we fuck this up it’ll be the fall of our run.
Fuckin candreva and his bad decisions making
Please all out defence
Wtf are they doing the last 30 minutes?
He always scores
3-3… gonna turn the stream off rn.
3-2
what a yellow
got a bad feeling about this
Fuck you, Quagliarella, sincerely fuck you
WTF INTER
Joao Mario too slow
Mario always waste a scoring opportunity..
Get Dumbo off
why icardi’s short passes still not that accurate in its power measurements :/
Stupid stupid stupid
wasted chance
too many i counted about 10
Oh my fucking god how did they fuck up that lmao.
rush of blood to the head
about fucking time!
Spalletti is mad man, bring on subs
Every attack always starts on Nagas side
Great block by Perišić.
NAGASHOCKMORE T_T
loooooooooooooooooool
yay, relieved a bit with a sub :))
Why are some of these players playing a full 90mins (for 2 games in a row) when we’re up 3-1… No need for this. Only acceptable if half the team will be rested next game, which I highly doubt will happen.
Will be rested against Verona
Karamoh, Karamoh, will you do the fandango.
Why are the commentators talking like we are playing like shit and have given up and are just holding on to the win. We are 3-1 up and have a comfortable hold on the game. Samp having more of the ball because we have backed off the pressure. This is our 3rd game in a short space of time… of course we wont play high tempo for 90min
We really need another class CB in winter.
A stand-in in the winter & get one of De Vrij or Gimenez in the summer for free.
Miranda is being reckless.
Nagatomo has no gas left get him off, no need to risk it.
STUPID NAGATOMO!
He wasn’t sure if a player was running in behind him. I would rather he did that then try and play it out and get caught on the ball in our box
WOW… Mario and Borja! That’s what I always want to see!
Vecino out? I don’t understand, but, in Spalletti we trust
what? Vecino is solid.
Who misses that branca b*tc*
his mom
LOL
thats because he brought his mom’s tupperware without permission thou
C’mon Spalletti, bring on Karamoh. It’s the perfect time for him.
okay , mario in
People calling for subs… just trust Spalletti man. The guy knows what he is doing
3-1. The kids need the time. The match is in the bag.
Sure. He is a wizzard. We think of valero, and he sub vecino.. so valero back to CMF
72 mins and no sub yet
Here you go 😀
why candy and ivan on the same side T_T
No.. they switched
aha, still, candy needs to get sub asap
Subs already
everyone wants to score rn lol
Focus.
Wow nice backheel trick feom candreva
Need fresh legs on the wings
in dire needs of fresh legs
what a yoga run
we are easily giving up when we are 3 goals up as usual and this has to change!
SHIT FOCUS BASTARDO! THAT CHANCE BY QUAG WAS DANGEROUS!
WTF!? We’re getting complacent.
Almost.. nice counter attack from samp
Borja is out of breath… Mario for Borja
