Inter coach Luciano Spalletti and his Fiorentina counterpart Stefano Pioli, have decided to start tonight’s Serie A fixture at the Stadio Artemio Franchi with the following 22 players when referee Paolo Valeri blows his whistle at 20.45 CET.
Spalletti has decided to make a few surprising changes such as benching Antonio Candreva and replacing him with Joao Mario on the right wing who is joined by his compatriot Joao Cancelo who plays on the right hand side of defence. Davide Santon starts to the left og the defence where Andrea Ranocchia and Milan Skriniar form a central defence partnership yet again.

I want to see Gaglia cover someone without fucking dropping them for a foul.
should sell him for the price we got him for
At the moment we spent nothing. He is still on loan but we have obligation to buy at the end of this season. I think it os €12m but I may be wrong
u are wrong is twice that money
so many mistakes
Would really like to see J.Mario’s lost ball stats. Pretty sure he has lost 3 out of 3 attempts to pass his man
I feel we’re the biggest drama queen team on the planet. When we lose a match we don’t just lose a match, it destroys the entire team’s mentality for months to come and we look like crippled retards until we change coach. -_-
thats the problem coz we dont have a leader… the mentality of our team is a joke except candreva, eder maybe but they no leader… we are lacking some of those characters….
bring materazzi back
Really miss matrix-like players
couldn’t have said it better!
quit the bitching
Coach left and anothers came, but without management support. If spalletti fired, i am affraid nobody will come and we stuck with shit coach and shit players
I think Vecino and Valero are the problem today, you can’t expect really much from Gagliardini, he’s rather known for his defensive abilities than creating something.
Also J.Mario far away from his best, sad to see him like this even tho I like the guy. And we just don’t have proper wingers. Perisic isn’t constant and he’s not even doing those runs anymore that he’s famous for.
I’d rather try our luck with Karamoah before he turns into J.Mario or Gabigol…
when was the last time icardi scored from open game!? the guy being bad since interbell.. he need to forget that song.. LOL
Dont talk bad about Icardi, he has the mighty stats to back him up lol
i would say what i see.. if he’s bad, he’s bad. if he’s good, he’s good.. i’ve never bias to one player if you know me. i even defend him from you, remember!?.. LOL
Yeah I know, I just don’t like him because he has the skills, if he tried every match like he does in some matches against Juve and other big teams, we’d have secured CL a long time ago.
But there are matches like this and the ones we lost where we can win by a goal, by half chances u know and he doesn’t show up.
That what makes me mad, he can play so awesome some times and then he goes and doesn’t do anything for 4-5 matches in a row.
And he wears the captain arm band so he should be the example after all!
I’m not saying he should be captain America but at least give his very best every match. Zanetti wasn’t the most talented player but he always gave 200% each match and that’s why I loved him and still do !
And Icardi showed up, better late than never ^_^
How can our players lose their heads this bad after couple of bad results? I mean c’mon. Get a grip, be men. Losing/drawing a couple of games isn’t such big deal. Get on with it. Don’t be such a bunch of chickens.
They haven’t lost their head..they’ve been doing what they did all season..exactly the same..that’s the problem. No change just one dimentional
Nah, they even played quite well in some games.
Because this team, except of few players, has no quality. They are mid table team players such as; borja, gagliardini, vecino, naga, santon, frog, ghost dalbert, eder, mario, cancelo (though he might prove me wrong). Should I go on?
But they are not this bad. Pathetic to watch right now. They are all over the place.
That was spaletti’s magic that they were performing well. Now, every team knows the strengths (lol) and weaknesses of these players.
No man, I swear give them a Lazio or Croatia or whatever shirt and they will stop shitting their pants on the pitch.
quicksell j.mario & gaglia from this squad, so annoying to see after they lost the ball and just walk like nothing happened
At least Perisic will run to get it even though he don’t usually get it
hahahaa lmao
its only 750coins if you quick sell and galia 350 coins
Yeah It is more useful than gave the ball away and conceded
I want to see at least one goal from Inter and then I can sleep happily. One can only wish so much lol
Forget the goal i want a win :'( even an own goal win and I’m happy haha
hehe how about offside goal? At least i will cheer for something for a minute .
I want to sleep but seeing inter played like this have made me cant sleep. Hahaha
been a while experiencing that butterfly feeling going to bed when Inter wins hehe
We should sell joa mario and buy pastore for that money
Remember ffp…i am little pesimistic nobody will come
im so done with ffp. psg and city spent billions of oil money and they never get caught
ffp is just an excuse for suning not to spend any money on this team. There is always a way around that rule whichever way you look at it and the FIFA/UEFA are incapable little babies who are too scared to punish teams who find ways around it.
if we manage to sell jao mario, somebody would come..
I want to see Cancelo and Karamoh playing together of the right side and maybe candreva CAM for the 2nd half
me too
#MeToo
Me too
nice idea
That of Icardi wasn’t a push for a penalty guys, don’t be pathetic now.
He should have maintained his balance better.
in this case i agree with you.. he should maintained his balance.. he can do better than that.. he just lose his balance.. that miss kick was pathetic tbh..
I mean, I go after referees when they wrong us. But I prefer to not turn into juventini that want even mid pitch fouls as a penalty lol.
Everybody turned bad. I dont get it
of course if thats a penalty my fart is a penalty as well
our defense looks good.. our attacking department looks bad..
There’s no movement at all any team can defend easily against us.
its our midfield that makes our attacking department looks bad..
Really sloppy in the midfield and no urgency to attack. Hope spaletti can fix that for second half
wing problem also, need to call rick ross
i like how santon play today too..
That powerful semi shot-cross from the corner was quite something, that was a half chance created from that cross and he’s being very aggressive and smart in defense.
Bring back Gabigol!
Flopinho
At least I’d see a rainbow or something creative instead of side passing and no urgency…
Yes, our attack is so one dimensional,no creativity that we used to count on perisic and Valero for
Too much work for perisic…they’re doubling up on him plus he has to run back to help cover santon…they know the other side is not really fruitful unless cancelo decides to make a run
True, but nobody will drive at the defense to open space. We predictably pass wide and cross and pray icardi gets on the end of it
And plis no eder this time
i hope so… sub in karamoh, so he dont end up like gabigoal
You know where we fall apart? Gaglia and Vecino. They don’t link up well. I would Mario as AM. Valero back with Vecino and bring in Candreva in the wing.
So many passes but no movement upfront to make the pass to so we end up losing possession and they counter.
Bring in candreva as trequartista and karamoh as rwf.
Inter “no idea” Milano: We are attacking too slow and predictable. I’m really bored to watching this, again.
P.S.
Gaglia wake up!
Bring in candreva. The guy is obsessed with crossing all the time, but he is also our only creative minded player. He opens up spaces for others to use and will be more helpful than that scrub mario.
i see we’re obviously trying to play with less crosses and more interchanging passes. but there is not creativity to our passes at all, just a bunch of dumb side passing.
C’mon Vecino is clearly underform since vs udinese, just put borja there and add brozovic. At least we start to play a combination in final third but lacking a shooter.
Inter did nothing on the first half. Hope spalletti bring karamoah for perisik and one for icardi.
cancello is good.. mario need to step up his game.. he look confuse..
Mario looks uninterested
The only one that played good so far
Skriniar too
WHO MISS CANDREVA NOW????
Put Candreva on. Yes we all are tired of countless crosses, but at least we may score from them
can we just score galldangit! i miss the spam of messages when we score
i got to say I’m a bit disappointed with our holding midfield (Gagliardini and Vecino). Fio got to much space between the midfield and the defender.. good thing we are playing fiorentina now.. if we are facing roma or rube with the likes of naingolan, florenzi or pjanic khediera in the midfield, we are done for..
First our wingers have downgraded and now our midfielders. Next our defenders. This inter really getting not interesting anymore.
yea, i hope some divine angel comes in this winters transfer market and save us from becoming a boring team to watch..
Can’t believe how bad we’re playing
is just a bunch of people on the field
we really need to sell j.mario… he cant play one position for real. not one. right wing ofc not, offensive or defensive mid – no right requirements^^ physically and shooting are just not good enough and the passing is also nothing special^^
only position he can play a bit is CM but also there nothing special… and such guy is wearing number 10 here.. what a disaster 😉
another flop 🙁
ye really we just spend too much millions for nothing the past years :I
and barbosa top of all
he just has horse stamina but thats about it
The midfield is non existent. It is just a matter of time when their forwards calm down and score.
Thank god they are as good at shooting as we are, but give them enough chances and one will go in. We need to sort this out. Whatever the gameplan is it is not working
We’ve lost countless balls in dangerous areas, can’t believe they haven’t scored yet
Get Mario out asap and sell his ass. He’s going Kondogbia on us
what an amateur miss by icardi
Got a subtle push. Threw him off balance
he is too strong for that push, needs to fuck less
Can’t afford not to fuck. Wanda might cheat on him with Nagatomo
i pass on wanda any day i dont know what he sees, she hypnotized him
That has to be a VAR shout
We are inter no VAR for us
That’s a push.
With banega this team was at least playing more from the center. Borja is continuously regressing to the point that he is now a waste of space and a complete trash. The guy is incapable of creating anything.
Banega was ass
he was better than what we have now though. He wasn’t a leader, however, he could control the flow of the game better.
We’re in top 4. Banega was invisible 75% oh his career at inter.
At least Borja is present
Iol god lord Ranocchia what a pass.
I hate this inter
no ideas
ghosts running in the field
Ok
i would have kept Banega
Obviously. If only we could sell bozo instead
they let him go for peanuts while brozovic and gagliardini are still here enjoying their stay.
So would anyone with a brain. We sold him for what 8-9m… we could have got that much for brozovic instead
damn frog is injured what now?
blessing in disguise
Not if it means Santon as a CB
santon should really play in serie b
play icardi as cb
vecino needs to calibrate his gun
Buy Chiesa man
One season wonder. Can see it a mile away
i never liked his father much neither
he actually messed up already some situations in this game
those transfer stories with chiesa are just to stir up some emotions, thats all….. i hope…..
Kudos to Santon for that defense ^_^
From these 30 min we can safely say we will not miss J.Mario if we sell him. Seen him with the ball twice and he has either lost it, or got it trapped under his own feet.
The guy needs a 4-3-3 formation. Give him to United or PSG and cut our losses
Yea im beginning to give up on him
we took the midfield from fiorentina and still somehow ours is still worse than theirs… what is it with our club.. i just dont get it ffs ;D
cause they went for fiorentina players lol. Neither borja nor the slowmo vecino will save us. They don’t have the quality.
true. i disliked them from the beginning. both. never was convinced about them helping us but still just saying its somehow ridicolous. at least our midfield should be better than theirs now. but it just isnt. so funny to me. its slap stick already^^
I had some hopes for borja, cause he was playing well in fiorentina. Now though, I have lost all of it cause he just can’t dictate any of the attacks.
funny santon
We attack less from the wings without candreva or its just a feeling?
Nah it’s true.
Candreva knows when to run and where to stand. That’s why he gets the most chances
Santon: I’ll put myself in a corner! That seems like something I should do everytime I get the ball!
we have to attack them their defense sucks
Lol they have conceded amongst the least goals in Serie A.
in this game , specially how they defended vs perisic on that header
Boring match for inter fan
Great cross, too bad Perišić couldn’t get a better finish off, although a tough position.
Skriniar is our best midfielder
Thank you again Thereau
Rano forgets he has legs sometimes. the ball is coming to his feet and he bends down to head it.
hahaha with his size ;D
Wtf Rano…
Good ol’RAno
Braindead
I can’t stand watching Gaglia. What a downgrade from last season.
we need ramires
I doubt he’s the answer tbh
same here. i dislike gaglia so much since a certain time… and im also not convinced bout ramires… we are really kinda stuck again if we dont get a mentatlity boost again somehow…. :I
i feel you
He gets turned so easily
Yeah have no creativity. Just played the ball simple
first time pericic cross to icardi in a couple of games
Perisic hanse done shit since his hat trick
his celebration mode never ends during holidays
Perisic suck
Cancelo really staking claim to RB. I see him as first choice over DD now. Hopefully Dalbert will be next
this team needs to practice on breaking defence during the whole week
thats what they probably doing. problem is often the balls^^ but how to practice growing balls ;D
they should practice finishing till end of the season and nothing else. maybe brainstorming the opponent 15 mins before the game but focus should be on shooting hahaha lol
mean rly we only have 3 players icardi, perisic n candreva who can really shoot… thats ridicolous for a whole team^^
has candreva even scored this season lmao
No
i think he has some other roles now after his downfall^^ hes playin different now but those assists he did were actually the goal heheh they were omg
but come on we all know he can shoot actually.
skriniwall
Im really enjoying Skriniar and Cancelo
Gaglia needs to wake up
nowhere near DDR level
nice shot from gags
Lmao Gaglia and Vecino are the worse two man midfield. So much space in front of the defence. Where are they going??
my stream always 3 ,4 posts behind
omg. thank u for directly shooting……
lol froggy fucked up big time.
no candy after Christmas ? , how?
Cancelo still impresing what a move
Ranocchia needs one full moon to turn around
Rano is gonna kill us.
Cancelo, always with the nice tricks and the weird decisions
Sweet Cancelo
He has been the only positive from the last few games. To think people were judging him on his first few games where he played out of position and for around 10 min
Yea he made more run in two games than Dumbo in half a season
Can Santon actually help in the attack at all. Perisic with the ball and Santon just stands around.
I actually miss Nagatomo and his overlapping runs
Such a stupid yellow to concede….
i see u starting to dig the new one;)
If only he could defend man.
If only.
i see him as un upgrade over the very dull dumbo
Much more dynamic
yea
Open field for everyone today. Missing Miranda.
Vecino afraid to shoot or what
indeed. skriniar is more dangerous in front of goal than our whole midfield together 😉
Santon always looks like he doesn’t want to play. Looks to get the ball away from him as soon as possible, and doesn’t want to provide an option for Perisic.
Arabic Commentator calling Skriniar , “Shick-Ir-Niar”
beaastniarrr
watching online?
Nah, Bein Sport
How did we not concede.
My heart lol……..
Whoa Joao Mario replacing Candreva in starting XI?! This could be a last chance to redeem himself and any transfer value we as ask for — pls dont blow it JM!
did it start or my stream is late as alwys
Mario used to be the supersub in a way, maybe Candy will take that part this match. I believe for the better, given his legs will be fresher than his markers… maybe.. Actually what I wanted to see this match, Mario on the wing. The team also seem to be set up by language,
Im glad we have a different starting lineup today, tired to see candreva, but I really want to see karamoh and eder play from the start
any streaamssss
try gooool(dot)org
OR..firstrowDOTxyz/soccer/xft-fiorentina-inter-milan-fyz3cbc52?l=1335921901
This game will say a lot about our mentality. The draw against Lazio stopped the bleeding, but we need to find our form again. Need the team to smash in a decent number of goals, and a clean sheet is needed to.
Ideally another 3-0 would be perfect
3-0 will bring my day
I wouldn’t say that Candreva deserves the bench more than Peresic tbh.
Candreva benched for JM on the wing, now thats fucking new. It seems that Spalletti kind of noticed that our attack hasn’t been working for 5 games lol. Lets see if it spices up our attack.
fair enough.. candreva deserves the bench and joao mario does need a full opportunity to show that he is worth the no 10 for us. hope karamoh gets to play a couple of minutes too..
don’t see pinamonti tho.. i guess he is leaving for a loan then..?
Don’t see how Pinamonti can add anything to this team. He needs the loan.
that leaves us with eder as the only forward sub…does that mean we can expect some striker to come in this winter market?
I think any primavera forward adds the same as Pinamonti IMO.
But you might be right… A third option is needed
Wining is a must… good luck to the team and FORZA INTER SEMPRE!!!!
Mario… Please for the love of God redeem yourself.
Big like on the fact Mario finally gets a shot as a right winger and with fellow Portuguese Cancelo behind him it really looks promising
I’ve never connected the Portuguese dots.
Did not look promising at all.
I want to share with you my “San Siro virginity loss” from last week. Shame to not see a goal, but either way, such a beautiful and out of this world experience.

one day
i will be there
is always good to be there the home of all interistas
Have never been to my ‘mekka’ either but like every other true believer, I have to make the trip one day…
Only Serie A to focus on, let’s secure UCL. Forza Inter!!!
Forza Inter… would have prefer Karamoh for the wing though, well may be JM will be decent bcos I am already tired of Canderava.
