Am beginning to hate myself for loving Inter
you were the one telling everybody here to trust this team. What happened?
We will win
you are not alone
you’ve just diagnosed state of masochism.,
fcuk Santon
dalbert in.
Milan was sucking bad with lord gattuso as their coach and didn’t even beat BENEVENTO when they beat us!!!. then now ROMA have not Won in 4 straight games and their beating us at home. This is how much we SUCK
Looks like granpa perisic lost his touch as well. Sell him asap while he has some value in him.
Come on Cancelo bring us the goal just like last time
PERISIC GO BBACK TO CROAT..!!
The fking post
Yep this is basically the reverse of the game earlier in the season
Not yet. When we hit the post 2 more times and with about 5 more chances then it will be like the first game.
At the end of the season, Bilan will be above us, and that deep hurt..
Oh come on now. Don’t be a drama queen. They won’t pass us
Lol the damn post
HAHAHAHAHA so fucking typical. We’re cursed…
XD
Éder LOL
spalleti, it is time to look for a new job …
can’t wait for this season to be over. it will end our sufferings and despair.
you mean as usual ?

Spalletti doesn’t seem to believe in this team anymorr when you look at his face
almire bolan,
I stopped believing in spalleti for some time ago
his main worry is how to kiss auslio’s ass at the moment !!!
Spalletti jadan postavlja iste igrace. Citaju nas poslije 8 kola… svako nam zna taktiku… uglavnom, bice valjda bolje… nekad 🙂
almire, to ti je inter od kad znam za njega, a ne mogu da se riješim te ovisnosti. tupavo vodstvo, osim trenera murinja sve neki papci,… uzimanje bezveznih igrača, uz časne iznimke koje samo potvrđuju pravilo.
evo opet ista priča; njema je jedan supertalentirani ceballos samo 3. opcija,… opet će biti za par mjeseci;
ko dovede ovog rafinju ili lisandra,… užas !
jebiga. uzmi malo od onog bureka što sam ga pejstao albancu ,
bujrum i za tebe važi LOL !
Oh, here comes our marathon runner named EDER. The guy is going to be good.
You better switch formation with Eder in, 442
WTF Eder? Seriously? I wait 2 weeks just to see this? this is 5.14 AM, I need to sleep
Fucking useless Eder…
I really don’t see him doing much more than that. Lacks the pace.
He could have tried to play it across to Icardi
Yeah icardi looked pretty much covered
Lol Eder… I hope he score !

I have some bad feeling …

————————-
I wrote it on “Preview: Inter vs Roma – Champions League Contenders Collide” that I had a bad feeling about this game … WE ARE NOT GOING TO QUALIFIE FOR CL.
if this shit continues, which I think it will, we definitely won’t. Not with this game and with these players.
and with this coach and management ?!?!
Rafinha hasn’t played a game for half a year and lord ausilio brings him. At some point ,however, in these 7 miserable years one player will be good. Am I right guys? AM I?
Well you can’t critique a free loan.
For the love of Inter, I hope he turns out better than his brother.
we should say goodbye to Champions League. its over guys
Cancelo you fucking idiot.
Pinamonti and Karamoah please !
Spalletti doesn’t seem to believe in this team anymore when you look at his face
Yea. Ican’t blame the guy though, nobody would make these shitters play even if their life depended on it.
Miracles sometimes happen… even to Inter. Let’s stay hopeful, right?
Stupid Reff?!
I feel like we’re going to score soon. But I don’t trust this team anymore.
Put J.Mario on for Vecino – yes we need goals, but Vecino is nowhere in midfield. At least Mario might have some impact, and put Karamoh on too. Need more pace
The entire MF and wingers are nowhere to be found
Damn. One two touch then lose the ball
Man. Utd win treble in 1999 only needs 3 minutes last minute. Can we hope miracle too and your pray???
miss kdog-gaglia
Rio Hermantara • 10 minutes ago
how can you guys watch the game and still write comments here??
—————–
I stopped watching the game right after the goal ,,,, such a stupid error, such naive goal, I simply cannot handle it …
Screw this Im out
Santon is a fucking liability. That is a foul no matter how dramatic he went down
This is what happens when you take off Gaglia and keep Vecino. Roma is bossing the midfield like boss.
Yeah because Gaglia added anything.
He shows his presence at least but Vecino is ghost
Yeah good presence, he was Roma 12-th player.
Both should be off
No one is bossing anyone, our entire team is playing at midfield. putting no pressure
2nd half is worst than first and gaglia wasnt good but vecino is non existant
Just stop man, you’re talking nonsense
To be honest it doesn’t matter which scrub goes off. All of them are shit equally, thus, nonexistent midfield and wingplay.
Yeah but with vecino we are automatically one man down
i nicknamed them both slowmo. They don’t have the brain power to think and act faster than what they currently have. Can’t imagine the shit scouts saw something spectacular in these guys. They probably wanted to be promoted and brought shit players.
gaglia was one season wonder and Vecino is average at best.
Sharawy should be an actor
We’re playing too deep
How many offsides
Take Peresic off. Enough of this shit.
We have no LW to replace him
Change the formation. I don’t care. Nothing is working.
we have no one though. This poor little team doesn’t even have backups to play with while the master, the guru, all knowing ausilio says the team is good.
People are saying goal but i dont see no goal
Icardiii
Are you lying?
how can you guys watch the game and still write comments here??
its magic
Haha
0 pressing from our midfield. We are letting them play the ball
Inter will shut you all up
hopefully
Trust
I desperately hope you are correct
Just watch
how about we start a go fund me,every inter fan donates 20 dollars to the team so we can by a good midfielder and fullback.something has to change
Shit im down
nope. These morons will still spend your money on wrong players. I trust my money to stay with me more than this turd management.
That was the worst passing half i think ive seen in a long time, our mid is playing terrible
Put Rafinha maaaan wtfff spalletti youre the worsttt maaaaan naaaaahaaahhhh
I’m reading a lot of comments and we really could make a revolution. Sell all the valuable players we have from Icardi and keeping only the likes of Handa, Skriniar and Cancelo who’s looking very good and start from 0.
Our youngsters can keep us in Serie A and then just rebuild from that totally and have some sort of decent team that actually gives their all for Inter. I’m tired from this dig golder players that don’t give a shit.
If you go back from 2010 and earlier what made us Pazza was that the team was united in the field, but now you see a disorganized team that doesn’t have a clue what they’re doing.
We definitely have great youngsters who can become quite big, just look at Bennasi for example, we’ll probably end buying him back from Fiorentina in a few years…
I agree. play pinamonti, odgaard, zaniolo and coldido.
play Pinamonti and Karamoah
Thank you
not pinamonti but karamoh for sure
The way Roma defenders abuse Icardi on the penalty box I would be surprised if this match end without a penalty.
This team is actually making me go mad. Sub par players in a system that we cant perform in. Just play a new formation ffs. Heck play 4-2-4 with Pina and Icardi up top
Gaglia out. Good.
the team clearly performed above their potential in the start of the season. looking at the overall squad this is the 7-8 position squad in serie a.
nah bro not that low, with rafinha and ramiries hopefully we can hold down 3rd
Stop it. People overreacting like crazy on here.
This Game will end 2-1 who will come for a bet for inter
I’d put Dalbert for Santon and our defensive mdf who hasn’t been signed yet for Gaglia
Tha El Shaarawy goal just proved that Santon will continue to cost us points. I wonder when Spalletti will realise that.
I dont know what are Maxwell and Chivu sins so our LB cursed like this until now?
I think we got the wrong Atalanta player. Should have got Kessie instead of Gagliadini.. We could have used him!
Nope we got the right one
Gagliardini is better than what you think.. this first half you see him a lot, with a couple of mistakes here and there, because he is there asking for the ball, looking for short plays, and running all over to retrieve the ball.. did you see anybody else in our midfield? sadly no…
The guy has not just played bad today but has done so consistently over the season. It’s quite obvious. He continues to make mistakes and seems lazy/not aware of his surroundings. He can play way better but hasn’t shown that this season.
Only Skriniar and Cencelo did good job, others are dummys
I bet you do know how to kick a socksball
Said all-knowing guy haha
Miranda was good at first half
Y’all just shut up football is 90 Mins not 45 mins just hold on and watch inter win 2-1
irony is cancelo is our best player
He fast, has vision, good touch, and better cross than candreva. Can we clone him to fill LB pos?!
he saw our retards and already want to get out of inter XD XD
I wonder why is Santon starting.
The guy cannot defend (remember due to his marking Fio scored last min goal)
Cannot cross
Have heavy touch
No speed and no sense of positioning.
no clue either,why cant our coach just play dalbert
We sold our primvera lbs for peanuts. Bought Dalbert and playing with hospital patient.
Agree, when dalbert play he never make mistake that lead to a goal !
imagine how bad dalbert is in that case if he loses a spot to santon.
If an offer of 180 mil for icardi arrives we should sell him. He is good, but we can use the money to buy 2 solid players and actually rebuild unlike what we are doing now. Like it or not, the cheapskate owners won’t be spending much.
FFP and chinese goverment restriction make us difficult to splash money
FFP, an outdated excuse for not splashing the cash. On the other hand we have a communist government which doesn’t let much spending outside of its borders. That’s why you should never sell to a commie government. It brings only trouble.
read the article about FFP again then you would understand what happened.. stop spreading bullshit without knowledge..SMH
I am not afraid to lose Icardi but I am afraid Baldy will waste it on sturidge and kdog v2.0
Check the past few articles on sempre to find out why we can’t spend
if we sell icardi we will get 110m. but any striker we try to bring will be equally costly unless we improve our scouting and buy some ypung unknown striker
also we have too many players to change. we will have to nearly change the whole squad barring 2-3 players. where is the money to do that? realistically we are a team which can finish maybe 6-8 in the league
this team hasn’t seen progress for 7 years. At this point someone smart should realize that spending shit ton and paying whatever FFP fine there is will be more beneficial rather than trying to “fix” the finances of a club that doesn’t even have its own stadium.
Everyone please shut the fuck up already…
Even if we lose, damn… I can’t stand your bitching. It’s okay to some point… But, man…
We are pazza, not ten-years-old-mama’s-boys
I’m not one to complain but when a player single handedly costs us 6 points (at least) then it kinda gets to ya 🙂
It does. But it doesn’t turn you into a whiny little bitch like almost all these dudes here.
we want a group of winners like in 2010,glad that rafinha is her to put gagliardini on the bench.
finishing 17 and 8th are the same. so ww should rather sell all these useless players other than Handanovic and Skrinier and play with our youth team for the rest of the season.
Agree
I dont mind suffer if inter really involved primavera player rather than played the same squad every single game but guest whatt. Still suffer
No one in the bench could bring any difference on the field.
So doing the same shit every single game. No changes no improvement
Brozo should come in our midfield are all scared to shoot. It’s as if they’re not supposed to score goals.
The italians are dead I wonder why there national team is sow dead gagliardini candreva santon.
this is off topic bunch a boring group of players italy has And Im a italy supporter what happened to totti,del piero,inzaghi ,pirlo,vieri. even players like Iaquinta and quagierella are better then what italy has now attacking wise.except maybe balotelli. Italians want teams like juve roma napoli inter milan ect to get more italian.but the players are picked for skill and to be honest the italian players this generation is bad
Delbert is on the bench he makes mistake but can cover it with he’s speed but Italian coaches are possessed some times like some kind of demon inside them going with the same player
The reason for shitty national team is that too many foreigners are bought to Italy and put in their youth academies instead of concentrating on raising italian prospects.
like I said should of kept banega and gabriel.also should start dalbert.
Lol if spaletti starts Santon over Dalbert then clearly he thinks Dalbert is worse..js
He thinks that Borja can be trequartista too, but that’s the biggest bullshit in the world.
Dalbert wouldn’t even try to head the ball if he was in Santon’s position back then.. so sadly, I do think that at this time he is no better than Santon..
Ironically not heading the ball might have been the better option but I get what you mean
well it that case if dalbert was playing then it would still be 0-0 because santon did not need to do that
1. We should quit playing with Icardi only, see how Sharay helps Dzeko out
2. Which is the most important, there is a player or a group of players that ruins the harmony of the team, if you don’t have that team spirit, you can get the best team ever and still suck. So I think someone should be sold and made way to a team that actually fights and cares for one another, Icardi complains, Perisic complains, almost everyone complains WTF
We need another better plan than 1 striker formation. Pinamonti, Eder, or Karamoh can be Sharawy role.
Yes I agree, especially Karamoah I think can do well since he’s technical and physical as well. We’re too predictable with this formation and we don’t have the right players for this formation.
We always miss the point. If your midfield can’t create shit to save their lives, it doesn’t matter how and who is in attack!
we need another striker to open space for icadi, just like Adriano and Cruz before, we can not hope Icardi as close as Milito godskill.
firstly Inter should change a formation. it’s not working properly, everyone know how to play against us. i can’t stand it enymore
I know this is old news but i feel like if we kept mancini we would of been a scudetto challenger as well as a ucl team.we had a great start to the season with him then had 1 poor months before returning to playing top football. but roma was just to good to keep up with and we lost a few crucial matches in the end.also I feel like with last years talent mancini would of done well. we should of kept banega and gotten another winger
Just stop… Mancini is average coach. We got lucky, Juve had a terrible start to the season along with a few other teams and we took advantage of that. That’s the only reason we were 1st mid way thru season.
another disgusting performance. our midfield was completely overrun by roma. and Icardi clearly wants to leave. perisic and candreva are too predictable to make any usefull co contribution and we don’t have players on the bench to make some change.
we have eder the best player in the world
haha
swap gagliardini with barella or barak or verdi , give them santon too
Just get Gagliardini off and play anyone else in MF
How about Vecino?
vecino is invisible in this game.. yes he is placed out of his natural position for Spalletti’s tactics, but he is useless there 🙁
wait…he is playing??? i wasnt noticed!
And then people say Gagliardini is useless
Gagliardini made a lot of mistake here in the first half.. but I think that is because he was battling Roma’s aggressive midfield alone..
I think he connected deffence and middfilders more than any other player.
Plus he deffended better than any other middfilder
yup..the commentator mentioned De Rossi told the press that Gagliardini could be his successor for the Italy squad.. He is not there yet, but I do see he has the potential to be there in a year or two..
Damn inter left flank getting worst
we play exactly the same every single game, week after week… what are they doing during the week??? are they practice smt different?? or just playing playstation and enjoying yoga with yogatomo???
I expect something different in the second half. bench vecino(ghost) and play Karamoah or another attacker.
would be really surprised if spaletti will change something big, lets just hope^^
We wont win this game if things remain the same way so lets hope for change.
The last coaches who has the ball to rotate and use different formation was Strama, I missed him right now, he plays inter so offfensive.
Strama is shit sorry, I don’t miss him at all
every coach is somehow good with this team but only for few first games^^
We all got carried away by our first half form. This is how we should have been performing all season long
and then there are people who actually liked our gamble transfers. Granted, skriniar and cancelo (several games only) turned out to be good, others have been horrible. Still have shit management. This team stinks of mediocrity inside and out.
I wouldn’t even be pissed if Roma played better in this half but apart from the goal they’ve barely had a chance. It pisses me off so fucking much that we’re down because of another moronic mistake from one of our lords…
Santon will have contarct extension. Damn
He deserved it! he is pure shit, so auselio should not sell him for any price and extend him till life!
cant believe these players actually deceived us that they are good
complete roma knows that when perisic has the ball he goes to the line so no promblem for them………
Must you retards touch the ball twice and perisic is doing the same thing again and again zzzZZZZZzzz
He couldn’t lifted the ball, could only deliverd ground cross. Easy to block
Ffs Brozovic… Can’t stand this weak minded player
pinamonti over icardi
Yeah
Zhang u don’t go to ucl with Seria b Players like santon gaglia or vecino
How can u make such an amateurish error? How Bad can u Be santon..
And really spaletti super spaletti yeah..every coach has Now read ur tactics Be a bit creative man
Spaletti hasn’t got players to try something new.
yes brozo in for gaglia i hope
Karamoah over icardi deserve a try
him over candreva
Fuck, Roma have had so many close calls with Icardi, if any of those chances had 5% more luck, each could’ve been a goal…
Icardi clearly has his mind sonewhere else he is just following the motions
Icardi is still resting on Maldives with his wife, where he was few days back, thinking for real madrid moneys.. money money money
We did well at the start of the season because all our players busted a gut and closed opponents down. Now we just sit back and walk back when we lose the ball
amazing pass by skriniar, his vision much better than our mid
He could be played as a mid actually
he plays there for his NT. as defensive mid
Sigh.
Gagliardini looks like a 38 year old still trying to get a paycheck. Is this guy really as young as they say ?
really on point….
Bench icardi
start karamoh,but spalletti is just another puppet to the “italian players”
4-2-3-1 does not work with these players. Just play 4-3-3 ffs
Yeah got the same feelings. This formation isn’t woring properly, everyone know what to play against Inter. Spalletti must change it, i can stand it enymore.
