Inter coach Luciano Spalletti and his AC Milan counterpart, Gennaro Gattuso have decided to field the following 22 players for tonight’s Coppa Italia quarterfinal clash at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milano’s San Siro district.
Both coaches have made many surprising selections, starting with Inter who plays Handanovic in goal instead of Padelli, whilst Gigio Donnarumma is not even on the bench, with Storari starting instead of him in AC Milan’s goal.
Spalletti has opted for Gagliardini and Vecino in the middle of the pitch whilst Joao Mario plays behind Mauro Icardi up front who is flanked by Ivan Perisic and Antonio Candreva. Andrea Ranocchia starts next to Milan Skriniar with Yuto Nagatomo to their left.
Line-ups:
AC Milan (4-3-3): Storari; Abate, Bonucci, Romagnoli, Rodriguez; Kessié, Biglia, Locatelli; Suso, Kalinic, Bonaventura.
Substitutes: A. Donnarumma, Soncin, Musacchio, Paletta, Zapata, Calabria, Antonelli, Montolivo, Calhanoglu, Borini, Cutrone, André Silva.
Inter (4-2-3-1): Handanovic; Cancelo, Skriniar, Ranocchia, Nagatomo; Gagliardini, Vecino; Candreva, Joao Mario, Perisic; Icardi
Substitutes: Padelli, Berni, Lombardoni, Santon, Dalbert, Borja Valero, Brozovic, Karamoh, Eder, Pinamonti.
Referee: Guida.
Assistants: Meli e Crispo.
Var: Massa.
Fourth official: Pairetto.
the team IS MELTING AWAY and it WILL LAST … :-(((
URGENT CHANGE is a MUST,…
f*** Perisic, Mario, Valero, Brozo
We literally didn’t trouble their goalkeeper for 120+ minutes..
this is worrying
remember when we had adriano vieri recoba martins cruz and crespo as our strikers now we only have icardi
its simple when icardi is off we can never score ask j mario he agrees
Agree, last time milan scudetto they also have ibra, pato, borielo, robinho, ronaldinho, even casano..when juve start their winning streak, they also have more than 3 strikers. Not talking quality yet, but at least with more attacking option were not too predictable by rely to much on icardi n eder
Please dont call Eder an attacking option, the guy is a joke. All he does is run, literally does nothing in terms of attacking play
I hope ausillio is moving fast. As soon as window open, I hope he can land pastore, mikhtryan or texeira. The faster the better. Pastore is preferred since he will gel quicker in theory. We have much important matches in January.
Joao Mario got an open goal chance yet he chose to shoot it right to the goalkeeper, i’m sick of our subs
he must be discarded. he is iresponsible in defence as well…
That’s a shame, he was one of our best players in the beginning

I wouldn’t even blame JM only…not his fault we bought an attacking mid with no finish.
yea me too i wanted to agree with this post how the hell we couldnt do what verona atalnta and benevento did !!
I dont mind if he have no finishing, if only he could provide more assist like ozil or xavi or penetrate like iniesta.
I have a solution : give everyone pay raise again it works magic see Perisic and icardi as an example
Perisic just trying too much, he should think how to make more assist than score goal.
our gameplan is predictable now.. we need to change our system a little bit.. most of the time we just play from the wings, especially on the right side.. it’s very predictable,because our opponent know that our AM would not cause too much damage from the middle, they just focus on candreva.. lock down candreva and we’re impotent..
Indeed, we desperately have to buy pure no 10.
I really wish we buy a player like Sneijder. He was the best attacking midfielder we had in recent years and it seems that we need a player like that right now
Zaniolo maybe?? The next no 10.
maybe, but i doubt spall would do that.. he’s not known for promoting young players..
didn’t I write that Inter is melting and “worned spalleti” LOL that
SOMETHING VERY DEEP INSIDE INTER IS GOING WRONG ?
——– some fooled optimists didn’t want and still do not want to see that
“WE HAVE A PROBLEM, HOUSTON!” … my wake up call is still on !!
Yes hope pastore and deulefeou join
Juicy
Pastore is another playmaker who can’t score and we desperately need attacking midfielder who can score. Because Candreva except that he’s clueless, he’s scoreless as hell, Perisic is in bad shape and we can’t rely only Icardi to score, that’s pathetic! About Deulofeu, first he’s nothing special, second in who’s place you expect him to play? Perisic? I don’t think he’s better than him, even when he’s not in shape! Candreva? I don’t think that Spaletti will put Candreva on the bench and I’m not sure how effective he can be on the right side, even if I think that almost everybody could be more useful than clueless Candreva! We need attacking midfielder who can make the difference and who can score. We don’t need another new players, only to say that we bring someone!
Your Brozovic is one problem
he is not mine, but he is a problem. I’ll tell you why; inter wants him to be what he is not ! he has never been a playmaker, not even when he was playing in lokomotiva, in dinamo, in any national team … it is PURE INTER STUPIDITY to collect so many runners without enough brain in club. why did they take gaglia, vecino, wanted to keep kondog (God saved him!) … I would rather take som smart, young, responsible and perspective CREATIVE player and HAVE PATIENCE WITH HIM, rather than forcing any of “runners” to do creative job they are not capable of. yes, there is valero, but … he is too old and not a PROSPECT! inter cannot live only on crossing balls into the box, trying to find icardi or perišić, it is too much simple for opponets to read that kind of inter attacking game … the reason is having no real creative player, or better two of them in team.
i can just say isco then
that would be a DREAM.
yea he fits your requirement
SPALLETTI: “WE NEED TO CHANGE DIRECTION”
The Nerazzurri Coach after Milan-Inter: “We need something extra, we lost
confidence and courage. We’re not making the most of our quality”, “We did things with less courage … 28/12/2017 – 00:43
____________________ thank you spalleti ! LOL.
Now we need to find a proper CAM and winger ASAP. I hope deulofeu and pastore are coming. Even texeira is fine. No more brozo and JM as CAM.
Why not playing 433? I see perisic and candreva often on their own if fullbacks is late in helping. The mids should offer some help
And what different will bring benchwarmers Pastore and Deulofeu? And how much they will cost us?
Both are available for loan. No more brozo and mario as CAM. No more brozo or eder as RMF. There will be subs for perisic if he become perishit. Do you need more reasons?
Anyway, I have neither the time to discuss this team’s faults anymore nor the will. Have a good day guys. The only good thing about this team now is that we, like minded individuals, gather up and have conversations with each other.
Later on the weekend maybe our 4th lose in a row.. embrace yourself
We are back and thanks to suning for jm and gabionegol..they are really useful players..
jao mario should be played as CM, gabigol was a big mistake by inexperience sunning at the time.. they fall for that snake(kia).. this team still in big dept since thohir make some loan in his era.. now we just hope thohir would sell his share to sunning..
No, i prefer him to play in candreva position.. recently we have too predictable
I prefer him to be sold.
his cross is worse than candreva.. the real problem is not candreva though.. if we have an AM who can do something in the middle, the opponent can’t be focus on candreva.. we’re predictable because we always play from the right side.. even if ronaldo is our right side, he would be impotent too, because the opponent would already know that we would play from there, just anticipate him from there..
Candreva is clueless and scoreless as hell! If you think that our team is Candreva’s problem, look how terrible he was at Italian national team!
he provide us with many assist too.. he’s a traditional winger, crossing is his main job. italian squad have the same issue with us, they don’t have creative players, and the most creative player was on the bench all the time. tbf italian have no good trequartista and regista after totti and pirlo.
the main problem in our team is we have 3 players who responsible to become our machine in attack, but sadly only one who constantly in the work.. and crossing won’t be effective if you only have one player in the box most of the time. we have been playing like this from begining, and our opponent have read us like a book.. they know how to close down candreva so he can’t find a good space to send a perfect cross, even if he did, there’s always one or two players in front of icardi to intercept the cross. that’s why i said we couldn’t blame candreva entirely because our left side(perisic) almost dissapear all the time. icardi being isolated alone and being man mark by 2 defender all the time in penalty box how can candreva find him!? the only way to break the the opponent defensive line is to attack from left, right and center which we rarely see.. most of the time our players are being lazy to take the responsibility and just send the ball to candreva, and hoping something to happen. i don’t know if this is spalletti order or not, but if it is, something need to change. all players should take more responsibility in creating opportunity, not just candreva. because it’s predictable. if team like madrid always send the ball to christiano and hoping him to do some magic all the time, christiano would become mediocare too, because the opponent would have predict this move and stop it all the time.. this is our main problem.. not just individual mistake, but the system need to change, because we’ve been exposed since the game against rubentus..
For 80m we paid for those chumps pogba was a bargain at 100m
Gattuso outsmarted Spalletti wow never taught I would see this day
Wrong. JM, Brozo, & Eder who do it!
If the best attacking option off the bench is eder than you’d have to be more than a magician to make a good attacking substitution …he isn’t even a super sub..just that player you put on when your front line is tired.
And the couch doesn’t has courage to put primavera player on instead.
Ahhhh but who? It makes no sense putting on prim players if they aren’t any better..don’t change for changing sake..it has to be an improvement.
We have to learn from Milan who dare enough to put confidence on Donnarumma. There are options such as: Pinamonti, Odgaard, Zaniolo, Colidio, or Merola. The first three have regular spot on primavera team.
and crutone too.. btw, i think odgaard deserve his chance to become icardi’s subs..
None of them is ready. Trust me.
If “ready” term means guarantee to win, I agree with you. Nevertheless, a “ready” player need preparation. And getting minutes to play is one of that preparation. Let the young feel the Seria A atmosphere.
Lol he did not…our players are just incapable of following simple instructions…the midfield is slow and lethargic…you can do as much tactics as you want as a manager but if your team cannot follow your orders you will fail.
Any coaches. Any. Would outsmart spalletti if spalletti and ausilio do not change anything.
Yes we are lacking depth especially in attacking department. When icardi candreva perisic play like shit, all we have is FUCKING EDER.
from the beginning of the season a Roma fan was telling me ..soon all Italian teams will find a way to stop inter cuz spaletti is predictable, and when they do , winning becomes so hard especially if u don’t have a player like niagolan…I was like…let’s see…inter;s diffrent,,,
Now i see what he meant…
he also said ,spaletti can never succeed in champions league…just like mancini
yes but then again inter is very different team than Roma spalletti inter is not the same as spalletti roma with all my respect to your friend
Well that’s accurate af
not really since when were roma good in ucl or even won a scuditto its their team tradition to reach the ucl thats their best
I was agree on predictable part.
u don’t remeber roma beating the shit out of Madrid and barca??
i remember roma 7-1 man u
6-0 barca cannot remember them beating mdrid or barca :p
Lol
roma 2-1 realmadrid….2008
this year 3-0 win over chelsea lets see howfar they can reach and how accurate your friend was
he’s not happy with this roma either…he claims , schick was a bad investment, since he’s been injured all the time..and schick said some sh..about leaving roma in the future…plus he missed a 1 on 1 against juve …
they need a good replacement for salah..they haven’t gotten a decent one
I’m not even thinking about the CL, I know Spaletti sucks at it. I just want for him to get us there, we will get another coach once we are in, I’m sure
seriously wtf is happening with our wingers, they were so deadly but now always make wrong decisions all the time
That’s because they’re playing for themselves…Perisic these last few games has either been 1.selfish or 2.MiA…Candreva is well…a workhorse..he crosses and crosses and eventually finds someone.
agree, Perisic is too selfish and yet Candreva is on the contrary, crossing all the time when his shot is actually better than Perisic
can’t blame candreva though.. he don’t really have many option.. and no matter how good a RW is, if the opponent know that we would play for that side 70-90% of the time they would know how to stop him. and icardi most of the time was alone in the penalty box, make it easier for the CB to block all the cross to him..
All i can see about Candreva is that he can’t jump on his defender even if his life depends on that. And this is one of the most important qualities for a winger! Let alone his decision making!
Only one reason too much pay raise made them feel comfortable and their mind is on the islands they are gonna go for the new year
I blame the lack of depth of the team.. no depth no real competition in earning the first team spot. the only fierce position that is up for grabs are the wing backs, and the players on that position show more and more quality each game. as for all other position….
Players who did okay: Cancelo, Ranno, Nagga, Vecino, Borja
Players who were awesome: Skriniar
Players who we should see ASAP: Mario, Brozo, Eder
Players who were on the pitch but didn’t do a thing: Gagliardini, Icardi, Perisic, candreva
Swap Eder for Verdi or Torreira. Sell brozo to Arsenal and JM to MU or PSG.
Hell yeah – I´d even take the 124 mil from Real for Icardi if Benzema gets included
And we still have Pinamonti, Odgaard, & Colidio.
And Merola I think.
I´d take that money and invest in a midfield general like Strootman who has a 45 mil relise clause, Alex Sandro from Juve who wants out for around 30 mil, Verdi as a back up to Perisic, Cicciritti from Benevento for a couple of mil, Mikhi from Utd on loan, Pastore from Psg in exchange for Mario
for candreva, i couldn’t blame him too much.. because we’re predictable.. our midfield most of the time would just play the ball to him, and all serie a defender have read him like a book already. to make it worse we can’t do a shit from left side and from the center.. leave candreva to be our only option to create something.. and icardi couldn’t beat his defender too in the last 3/4 games now.. even if he did, his finishing is shit lately.. perisic become invisible too..
If Skriniar has a dip in form, that is when the real problems for Inter will arrive. The guy saved at least 2 goals last night
We deserve to lose. I cannot see us winning with this kind of tactics. Every time we rely on Icardi too much, that’s the moment where we fucked up. So easy to handle him by cutting the support from wing. Please spalletti do somethinf
The simple solution is to get a proper CAM …this is why I can’t blame spaletti..he’s working with what he has and none of them can play in that role.Brozo is probably the closest but as you can see he’s still pretty disappointing…
we rely too much on Candreva’s 1:100 crosses
Candreva is a 1 trick pony, like a weak version of Figo
So what now?
3 consecutive defeats and 4th almost confirmed.
What will the Genius Guru Aussilo do?
Sack Spalleti or bring quality reinforcement. Let me remind you this shit is all on this clown, we all knew this team had gaps but yet somehow he was happy. Then he insulted prodenone and the fall started.
what do you expect? That piece of shit ausilio learned from his older brother branca. They all use the same mentality.
Reallu hate this guy, he is the cancer and I really hope sunning show him the door.
We just have to deepen our bench. No for SACKING.
I hope so mate. Sacking Spalleti will be madness even if he lose another 5 matches.
There are talkes about Pastore and Delfoue from Barca on loan and Bastoni coming back from “loan” plus maybe Ramirez – whose players arriving would do the trick
Those are some quality players. I am more excited about delfou Spa really knows how to get the best out of pacey wingers.
I heard that mika loan deal is more possible than pastore. But at this point, ill take any of them
But only one of Ramirez and Mika will come through
If we sack Spalletti i will never watch a Inter game again….
yep, enough of these turds. But I doubt they will touch spaletti. The guy is untouchable at this point, and rightfully so.
As long as that clown is operating along with gardini or whatever his name is anything is possible.
caretaker will do no better because the problem is Spaletti doesn’t have other option on the bench, that is why always same subs every game, always same strategy intended to maximize the potential of each player has and clearly everytime he try to do different with the team it never work. we’re limited
He did miracle with limited squad but the lack of depth can hinder teams. I said it before the season started that if inter failed this season the loss will be on management and no one else.
Coming home from work to see this utter piece of trash. How dare they. If they lose next match against Lazio im done with them for a while. This is not good for my heart.
my A list on inter to do in january to sell brozo
Does “Pazza” has negative meaning?? I don’t have idea.
both negative and positive
If so, we have to look for another word that only has positive meaning 🙂
it means crazy, because we always (except 2010) fuck up on important moments.
if we lose against lazio ….we might have another 3-4 losses in a row before we manage to draw or win again
Then we still have to face fio n roma. Pazza right
If we lose to Lazio, I don’t think we are going to the CL next year
and Spaletti, none of our crosses work against Sassuolo and now it was clearly you told candreva to do less crosses in this game when he shouldn’t be because i saw couple of times where he should cross but play the ball instead
You thought this might be the year we finally get a break, didn’t you. You poor saps 🙂
Wow what a good time spent guys. Kudos for all of you to bear this torturing scene play. Pazza Inter indeed!
I’m so glad i stood up late to watch my heroes fail to score a goal from point blank against a 3d choice keeper.
I WOUL SACRIFICE MY LEFT RIB TO GET ZANETTI AND MILITO AND MAICON YOUNG AGAIN
That’s not enough. Give your soul instead!
still need sneijder in this team
Beloved Coutinho I think..
The fullbacks isn’t even that bad….did naga have a bad game today? Nope…cancelo was great ..this midfield is the problem..the sale of banega without a proper replacement is killing us…if candreva can’t find a player with a cross and perisic decides to be a selfish fk it’s game over because nothing comes from the middle.
just play without an attakicng mid; problem solved! 3-4-3 would do the trick!
we need an AM like sneijder in this team..
Pastore or Goretzka will do
i’ll go with goretzka..
i prefer Pastore because Goretzka style of play kinda remind me of Guarin :p
LOL.. he’s not though.. but even guarin in his good day would be a better than mario in term of finishing. LMAO
YES, we need Sneijder, it was him that glued the whole team together in 2010. I remember being so happy when we bought him at the end of the transfer window, I was like “now we can maybe win something”. We also need a Cambiasso, Borja is not even close
players like borja is a regista, regista need a strong CM or DM to do the dirty work for him. pirlo have gattuso at BBlan, and vidal or marchisio at rubentus. so far gagliardini not really up to our expectation. i think with 4-2-3-1 we can play without an elegant regista like borja, just need a player like cambiaso and motta/dejan. and a proper trequartista.. i think our tactic would depend on our mercato in january transfer.
for now, as much as people critisize candreva, he’s the only player that can create something this season.. perisic is like icardi, dissapear for almost 90 mins, and suddenlly he can produce something out of nothing, but sadly just like icardi too, he can dissapear for 90 mins.. LOL
i think we should try to sign an experience CF too, at least someone who strong on one on one against a defender, it would give us different alternative if our opponent doing a man marking like in the last 3 or 4 game, icardi rarely can win in 1 on 1 duel against defender.
so my conclusion, we still need an AM, CF, LB, CM, and wingger.
but AM should be our priority..
Brozovic, ffs. what kind of professional footballer that can’t even receive the ball right on his first touch. you lost us to many fucking possession you dumbass
Eder for Verdi. Or Eder for Torreira.
Players I can’t stand watching anymore:
All our leftbacks
Perishit (typical disappearance and 0 focus)
Jao Mario (please sell this idiot who can’t finish for sh**)
Sell these fools. They’re making me hate watching inter. I’m worried about our champions league hopes.
No fucking way we making cl
add to that eder, brozofag, and the entire midfield.
I agree. Eder and Brozo. Wtf the list includes our starters and out first sub. Fk me
ac milan suddenly forgot they are 9 pts from relegation
I’m going from Serbia to Meazza vs Lazio… First time in my life leaving my country. Luciano, you better do your magic after this.
Don’t do it or just don’t take it serious
you better bring us good luck
Just go look at spaletti’s bold head. That would be more interesting than these pos team.
Will be a different kind of match – today Milan deadly needed a win to stand a chance for Eruo – on Saturday we really have to win to keep Lazio behind us…
poor you.. good luck.. i hope you won’t see this kind of match mate..^^
we fail to score again.. smh
DAMN IT, WHY DO WE AL-WAYS FUCK THINGS UP WHEN THE TENSION STARTS TO RISE. FUCKING MONGREL GATUSSO BEAT US WITH ONE OF THE WORST BBILAN TEAMS EVER!!!!! SOOO MAAD
“mongrel” hahaah, you just made my morning sir
It’s ok to be disappointed but it is not ok to turn your backs on the team and insult an obviously limited squad with no real depth. If anyone expected anything more than a tussle for 4th place here’s a reality check. The unbeaten run was a small miracle.
no one has turned his back on inter but we have the right to turn our back on some of the players
Dude..the team has shown that they have enough quality….Milan lost to atalanta!!! 2-0 at home! They gifted rock bottom whipping boys bueno their first fking point! We should have won this game easily.
Well we lost against udinese at home. That’s worse lol
But that was luck…check every other stat from possession to corners…we just can’t finish.
So how spalletti is not to blame for our 3rd consecutive losses against team like shitty milan?
He is idc what anyone says
Remember that chance JM got? wasn’t that something? 🙂
Any chance we can do a swap with Bologna, we send them Eder for Palacio?
fuck… why i even watch this shit.. waste my time..
What a waste of sleeping time. 2 fucking hours of nightmare
LOL
haha
Sorry for u I was at work at my desk got paid too lol
Totally bs game
Unbeaten in what, 15-18 games, and then 3 straight defeats. I’m starting to hate December holidays…
What a cursed December!
Fuck everything related to inter to this shit club
Fuck you.
And fuck you klosaru jedan
Hahaha a dobar, ili nisam ti ja đubre koji jebe svoj klub ako ima par slabima rezultatima.
Jer tebe to nista ne boli kad vidis svoj klub kad popusi od jedne najjadnije ekipe u serie a.
I nije letilo nista na tebe tako da ne znam sta se javljas.
Kako god izvini ali naljutili su me u picku bre mater
Puno me boli ako vidim tako sranje ili ne bom rekao jebaj Inter. Može da jebeš trenera, da jebeš igrače i sve ili nije treba da jebeš klub sam. 🙂
U pravu si.
Izvini
hahaha vidi još nam fale perišić i brozović pa da se lepo ispljujemo 😀
Brozovic haha have a nice day guys bye
the day has already been ruined
This team has hurted me so much before I’m immune the only time it made me happy was in 2010
that gay has to ruin the game for the last one time.
Lol – Milan celebrating like they won the UCL.
I mean, we could’ve done this with our 2nd team…
hard luck guys
i rather see our 2nd team in this game, if we would lose anyway,, at least they can’t brag about beating inter.. LOL
ahahah eder
spaletti magic seems to be expired
It’s not his fault..this time it’s the players fully to blame.From Icardi straight back to handa..
yap that was his magic making those shitheads actually play some football
almost always is the players,
doubt it. This is not Pioli. I’d hate to be an Inter player tonight.
He doesn’t have any players in midfield. He is not to be blamed. The blame goes to ausilio and partially to sabatini who sold banega and didn’t even bring an attacking mid.
So, in order to get the 4th place, we should be eliminated from coppa? What a mental
These scrubs seem to not care about playing in more than one competition. How can they play in champions league if they don’t even want to take the coppa italia serioulsy.
borja bumlero do something at least scrublord.
If their 3rd choice keeper (who was only signed to satisfy his younger brother & agent asks) manages to keep a clean sheet over 120 min then we’ve hit rock bottom…If you thought the 2016 collapse under Mancio was bad just prepare yourself to relive that experience
Can not believe to experience that moment again in this lifetime. Nightmare!
if we play like this against lazio, we would be slaughter by lazio for sure.. prepare our heart guys..
Already count as a lose for me
omg cant belive gatusso is winning this over us he must be flying
We even can not beat a serie C team in a normal play.
my streaming is shit, just like this game..
Match made in heaven
this ref is a moron omg
Karamoh would give a better impact than Eder
All praise Lord Aussilo for renewing his contract till 2021
i get that he is good as a backup but that doesn’t mean he need to play in every match, especially when we desperately need creativity
A good back up that is good at nothing.
Eder should just move to China
