Inter is facing Bologna today at Stadio San Siro at 15.00 CET in a game that is much, much more than a regular Serie A game. This because Inter’s recent streak of “non-victories”, currently at 8, with the last victory being on December 3rd against Chievo. During tough times like this there are even more opinions about the starting line-up than usual and here is what Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport has to say about who will start today: “Unless there is a last minute change during the final hours before the match, Rafinha will once again start on the bench. This because the Brazilian still does not have 90 minutes in his legs so should he start this would automatically mean that there will be a change during the second half. An alternative could be Karamoh, who during the week was tested as a pure attacker, giving Spalletti the option to play Icardi-Karamoh with a trequartista behind the couple.”
This is the probable starting lineup according to Corriere dello Sport:
INTER (4-3-3): Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Skriniar, Miranda, Santon; Vecino, Borja Valero, Brozovic; Candreva, Eder, Perisic.30
Benevento just took the lead vs Roma….a Benevento victory here would be a perfect end to the weekend…
Even a tie would be a good cause to celebrate
true….guess any advantage we can get would be great…
Cross fingers , not an easy one
very curious to see how Icardi plays with Rafinha, Karamoh and Eder in the same line-up as opposition teams will not be able to triple team Icardi in the box given the threat offered by others in and around the area, thus creating a lot more goal scoring opportunities for everyone. If Perisic get back on song things could get really interesting.
brozovic needs to leave that’s it; also Pastore as his replacement
Anyone, I mean I just NEVER GONNA SEE THIS SON OF A BITCH IN OUR COLORS
Does anyone know why Miranda was substituted?
injured
embarrassed
LOL
I never seen him contribute to the opponents goal 100%
Is Spalletti able to realize how SHIT Brozobitch is?
Fuck! I can’t stand watching this son of a bitch anymore
Brozo his perform n attitude, should be enough reason to bench him next game along with perisic.
It’s enough to kick him in the ass and send him to a shit hole
Eder – Icardi
Rafinha – Vecino – Valero – Karamoh
Dalbert – J.Miranda – Skiriar – Cancelo
Handanovic
4-4-2 is very safe formation for us now.
Icardi and Eder duo are crazy back in Samp years ago.
I put Rafinha in the place of grandpa Valero, and play Perisic as LM
No Dalbert I beg you.
D’ambro is still better.
I would prefer if we stuck with the 4-3-1-2 we started with today or go with the a straight 4-3-3 with the same line-up…with Eder playing support striker in the two man front line and as left inside forward in the 3-man attack. Time to bench Perisic!
Could also consider dropping Valero for Gagliardini as he has run out of steam and typically doesn’t help with his back/lateral passes against the so-called minnows. Loses too many 50/50 balls and also gets dispossessed a lot these days.
Told you spalo, better bet with karamoah than candreva. It is just me or what but maybe Spalo should try gaglia instead Vecino. He is too slow both in speed and decison making
gaglia is the reason why we losing our domination
It was changing the tactic that lost us control of the game, not the player i think. Leading with 11 men against 10 men but chose to defend is stupid.
Yup
agree, fixing what’s ain’t broken and do nothing at what’s broken is Spaletti hobby
Ok , the substitution was wrong , it did not work well at all ,but it was kind of mandated by the fact that I believe Karamoh had some muscular problems , he had a little bit of an injury ,he even stopped moving completely for a minute , just a few minutes before his sub.
maybe Spaletti was right, physically he isn’t ready, same goes to Dalbert. And on the pitch, both seem have problem in communication with teammates, language limitation maybe?
Yup! and our tactic change when we subbed karamoah (true I think he has muscular issue let is hope it is just minor issue). If Spalo want to give right determination he should play Candreva (Well at least Candreva has speed ) than Gaglia. but even before espulso Vecino did nothing to us especially in transition Def Att position. He was to slow in running, don’t have long pass to reach striker. We Once conquered europe because we were soo damn good at counter attack guys, for now our defense is so much better than last 5 campaign but still we lack player who can deliver this transation.
Gaglia is too mediocre, perfect for our gameplay
I would play Gagliardini, brozovic and Rafinha in the midfield
rafinha, karomoh and cancelo very good. lisandro lopez still shaking and the midfield duo valero and vecino is the problem. brozovic is game over no need to play him anymore.
I Prefer rano than lopes
I Prefer rano than lopes
Put in Gaglia to replace Karamoh when we are dominating is awful decision. I don’t know if Spaletti is looking for another draw, but luckily we win.
He is typical of doing so, such a coward
but I’m also tired seeing us changing coach every year.
We never had a decent coach after mourinho, so i dont mind changing this mediocre coach
let’s see
Yeah, this guy is crazy! You just can’t be such a coward and loser! We was very close to draw against 10 mens Bologna! This is loser mentality, we lost so many points, because of such stupid decisions! I can accept such a sub in last few minutes for wasting time, but with 20 minutes until the end is suicide! I hope Spalletti get his shit together in the future, because he’s begging to be sacked, which will be another failure for us!
So nobody’s talking about how Palacio had Skriniar in problems all game..shows that experience>talent.Was a really good battle to watch IMO
yup. granpa toyed with skriniar the whole match.
First win in three months or something? Damn, Cancelo and Rafinha already proved they deserve to stay here. Karamoh showing our winger how they should play. Hope Perisic is out, finally! Just can’t watch his play anymore. Rano > Lopez. And hope Eder retains his spot in starting XI. And how we miss Icardi. The curse is over, that’s great!
Karamoh plays with brain, he can cut inside unlike the donkey Candy.
still long way to go
There is an old myth that says he is still holding his shoulder
Didnt know everyone was commenting here lol, anyways so happy for the win!
Hopefully karamoh and rafinha starts in the next match with 4-3-3!
Forza inter!
vecino needs to sit for a bit imo… gaglia should start with rafinha and valero
ditto
We’ll prob go back to 4231 and Vecino and Gag should be rotating in that formation.
i would honestly love having a 4-3-3 with valero in the middle knocking the ball about and galglia and rafinha pushing forward (yes gaglia i still believe this guy has something more to give as a box-to-box threat)
i think Bennasi was a similar player to Vecino. but we bought Vecino for 24 m and fiorentina replaced him with Benassi for 10m
benassi is better lmao so sad… he can score too, no?
Fiorentina is having such wonderful season with Benassi as a starter…and without Vecino,they got so much better that they are like 12 points behind and a few positions behind compared to last season
Benassi is a very mediocre player , very limited at this level…
Excuse me, but Gagliardini was our worst midfielder, before was reasonably benched. Vecino wasn’t in his best last month or two, be he could support attack and occasionally score and won’t lost the ball easily, starting opposite counters!
As always .
Even the laziest Brozo shows a little more quality and able ball handling.
Gaglia aka Italian Kuzmanovic
I didnot liked the turtle mentality especially when they were 1 men down. They still constructed a chance or two.
Least to say but the game plan is still missing and we are repeating the same one goal up and turtle back mentality which have costed us so many points.
What signal you gave to your players, when 20 minutes before the end you sub out winger and put in defensive midfielder, when you play at your own stadium against 10 mens relegation team?
Sad but true
Valero hasn’t got 90 mins in him. hr needs to be subbed much earlier
completely agree….the last substitution made no sense…Karamoh still had the legs…it should’ve been Borja or one-arm Perisic..
Honestly that masina guy is good.
Linked with us few times.
he has been a consistent performer
and that bald guy with tail was not bad either.
Somehow he remind me to one of my hero back then
As soon as he steps into inter forget it he will be useless
We cannot keep playing Vecino, he’s afraid of receiving the ball. I’ve nv seen a CM like him before. Truly one of a kind
He never do that in fiorentina
More than that his positioning is worst and at times ghost in the midfield. Maybe he is playing in the wrong setup or something but he was much better in the start of season.
too much pressure. he might be afraid ending up like gagliardini. getting booed too much for his mistakes because he is working too hard
Ok so not the cleanest or most spectacular of games but there were some positives.
Karamoh looks like a serious player. He needs to start next week and hopefully we can see him continue his form.
Lisandro looks like a solid back up centre back. Kept things simple and cleaned up loose balls.
Rafinha is the player we need to provide that spark in midfield. May not be 100% fit yet, but should start next week.
Cancelo still bossing the RB and we need to get him on a permanent deal.
Our negatives seem to always be the same few names recently… Perisic, Brozovic, Valero, and Vecino… our midfield sucks so much it is unreal…
Perisic needs to be benched but I don’t lile Eder on the left. With Icardi back will Spalletti play Eder over him? I doubt it. There must be someone in our Primavera who can play LW better than a one handed Perisic…
you forgot d’ambrossio man.. he might be the one who broke the curse
True he was solid too. Hopefully we never see Santon again… I do still think Dalbert needs minutes to show what he can do but D’Ambrosio was decent
Agree except lopes things
Spalletti really needs to improve his read of the game…subbing out Karamoh when Perisic and Borja were crying out to be taken off made no sense whatsoever…plus moving Rafinha to the right-wing backfired majorly as we completely lost possession of the midfield with all plays coming through the center and Borja/Vecino/Galiardini proving impotent once again….should have brought on Candy for Perisic or Gagliardini for Borja ….
Perisic had another awful game but I respect him for playing through the injury.
Karamoh signalled to the bench to be subbed off. Some thigh injury, maybe a cramp.
Those fkers stamped him that’s why
Well next week we’ll see Eder-Icardi-Karamoh or Karamoh-Icardi-Candreva with the Perisic injury.
Spalletti need 10 games without winning just to make sure that Candreva shouldn’t play
10 more games and he can sub perisic haha
XD
right in candreva’s face
And he still isn’t able to understand how deep Brozoshit is.
The good side, Perisic will rest for injury, so rafinha and karamoh could start.
congrats guys
at last a sigh of relief
90+10, boy that was too much
Imagine no wins in 8 and with one win we go 3rd..incredible..juve and napoli really are at a different class than the chasing pack.
From now on, karamoh and rafinha must play every single game, and benched that brozobitch, candreva, and perisic
pazza inter amala
90+10′ That’s it! The referee blows the final whistle
I’m dead
Credit to Bologna, they fight till the end. Miranda sucks ass. He can go back to Brazil.
Really one mistake in 2 years and he sucks already?
Who said it’s for the past 2 years?
Yeah because one mistake makes him bad… GTFO of here
Our management will release him. Don’t tell me what to do.
He still better than rano, brozo, perisic, and candreva
Of course, this is only for today.
Finally
I’m happy for the win and hope this is the beginning of our winning ways… FORZA INTER SEMPRE and happy weekend guys!!!!
unnecessarily suffered in the end because the coach lost his balls somewhere over the past two month…
MOTM is Karamoh. no excuse..!!
We won, but still very embarrassing/
Happy for his assist. And yes a win! Wtf with the add time, lol
because of VAR
Still..like watching a longest match..lol
9mins and game still in ref
finally 3 point and 3rd place..
Finally 3 points, after more than 2 months
gagliardini… was can he do actually..
GGWP
lisandro is good, I like him
think about the positive side … 3 POINTS!!!!!
What 3 points? Its not end yet
it is ended
Ok now its ended lol, congrats mates
congmice
ur stream is way behind
when we had chance to cross, we choose to pass back.. wtf
That’s plain good game management and good use of common sense by Valero and Rafinha. Who did you want him to cross to? Eder marked by 2 centrebacks or Perisic with shoulder injury marked by the right back. If it’s we are 2 goals up I wouldn’t mind that.
This is pazza inter
Damn nerve wrecking
3 POINTS!!!!!!
3 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Down to 9men
we can’t even keep possession against 9 men
wtf 9 minutes additional
Ref give 4 mins additional time but we r in 7mins game still on
give me 3 points
end the match already
9 vs 11 now
Called it. Masina red card. Thought it would be on Karamoh but still
It doesn’t look good here as Lisandro Lopez is injured and is taken off the field to receive medical treatment.
The VAR save us again
How is that not a yellow card, Lopez got stomped on
red
Dude stomped on his shin, studs up
Oh no. From a promising position Cesar Falletti from Bologna miskicks completely. Opportunity wasted.
Lisandro almost died
My nerves are wrecked! Why does it have to be this close!?
I think it was Rafinha who saved us from conceding just now, great man
both team midfield, is competing for who can make the most mistake
Borja is out of breath
This team is killing me !!! Had there been no red card we would be drawing again
I feel like hurting someone… Spalletti perhaps…!?
what can he do?? u tell me
Well maybe start using other players immediately that he uses as subs. Gagla instead of Vecino, Rafinha instead of Brozovic and Dalbert instead of D’ambrosio. He needs to shake up things much sooner…
Valero also disabled/
okay ….IF VERDY WAS PLAYIN …we WOULD DEFIANTLY LOSE
Perisic is disabled.
and a liable
Am scared now because they hv one man down n they are still miss sure goal , is keeper save us
Rafinha
Being an Inter fan increases the risk of a heart attack by 300%
Thats because spaletti decision to sub karamoh with gagli
I hate galia
i dont think i cant watch inter when i’m in my 60s, i dont think my heart can take it
If we win this game top 4
Lisandro is fucking playing striker for Bologna
Another Ranocchia
Can’t believe I’m saying this but I wish Rannochia was the one subbed in
cant believe we are struggling against 10 men… stupid sub by Spalletti to get Gagliardini in for Karamoh when we were controlling the game…
And keeps injured perishit
perisic *
So actually spaletti is a problem too for inter
lopez plays good
Fking Gagliardini header straight to Palacio
They gonna equalize soon
Watch what you wish for
stop man
Skriniar
Palacio performs much better in this match than in his last 2 seasons for Inter, he’s great today…
Im so worry
I can’t watch
Had we not subbed in Lisandro, we could’ve taken perisic out by now. he’s clearly struggling
Look at this Lisandro Lopez here did he go
Omg, it’s only Bologna but
lets make more mistakes…
Godmanovic..!!
what???
he saved us..!! from fast counter attack
oh…im 30 sec behind
Hey how about you sub out the player with one arm?
I know it’s 3 subs already
rafinha reminds me of Rivaldo
this one was checked, but the two for us in 1st half wasn’t..
phew!!!!
Stream is way behind. I’m scared.
god has mercy to us
Thx god no penalty for bologna
