Stefano Pioli and Vincenzo Montella have decided to field the following 22 players in todays lunchtime derby della Madonnina fixture.
Roberto Gagliardini starts after having been deemed fit enough to play whilst Joao Mario returns at the expence of Ever Banega. Perhaps the most surprising selection is that of Yuto Nagatomo at left back.
Inter (4-2-3-1): Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Medel, Miranda, Nagatomo; Gagliardini, Kondogbia; Candreva, Joao Mario, Perisic; Icardi.
Substitutes: Carrizo, Andreolli, Palacio, Biabiany, Ansaldi, Banega, Sainsbury, Santon, Eder, Murillo, Brozovic, Barbosa.
Milan (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Calabria, Zapata, Romagnoli, De Sciglio; Kucka, Sosa, Mati Fernandez; Suso, Bacca, Deulofeu.
Substitutes: Storari, Plizzari, Antonelli, Gomez, Vangioni, Paletta, Bertolacci, Poli, Ocampos, Honda, Lapadula.
Referee: Orsato.
Linesmen: Di Fiore & Manganelli.
Fourth Official: Meli.
Additional assistants: Damato & Russo.
That miss from perisic came back to hunt us i knew, we thought the game was finished and just stopped playing amateur attitude, nagatomo was a headless. Chiken fuck pioli to play him, did one is gonna stay with me for a long time im devasted was ready to go to sleep happy then woke up in cold sweat
Even Crotone and Sampdoria could held their 2-1 lead…
what you all expected from this team ? we are lacking of people who have winning mentality and being consistent… the problem is not coming from player or the coach or the board but it is coming from the internazionale itself who are lacking of confidence and pride…
changing all the team by whole doesn’t fix anything. we need consistency we need people who playing together by their heart we need mentality
I hate to say this, but I have to. I have a feeling that we will finish in the 8th position, against Fiorentina and Napoli in the next two fixtures we will lose if we perform like this. Fiorentina will surpass us. It’s difficult to imagine how we still hoped for the third position with the great winning streaks and the two big wins against Cagilari and Atalanta, and then dropped important points to lower the expectation to just qualify for the EL. Now, not to mention EL, we will risk not playing in any European competitions. It is really sad to end up a season like this. Pioli might not be the only reason; some players didn’t even show the right attitude to handle pressures at important matches. We do need to strengthen some areas, but without European competition, star players will be reluctant to join even if big offers come by. Another same year again this season, and perhaps next season. I do not want to sound pessimistic, but we have to admit that our current level is still below those teams like Juventus, Roma, and Napoli. Aaargh…just hope we can turn the tide.
Hoping for next year every year.
Unbelievable
I have no words about this. Its better for me to go and clean the spit off my screen.
I still can’t believe it, those frauds refs.
Nope…the referee doing great job..He added 2 more minutes coz accident injury player. Admit it, Inter were suck. #PioliOut
who got injured? Gagliar left the pitch right away?
And time wasting with subs…If Inter were great, that last conceded it’s not gonna happen. We lost coz conceded with Free Kick Taking.
Subs? Biabiany came on at the 46mint. On one puts an extra 2 mint´s ontop of 5 becuase of one sub??
thats questionable decision, n so with pioli decision. add to that with unfocus players then youll see the result.
Bullshits, when you add 5 minutes to 90, this is overall 5% of all playing time, including injuries, substitutions, set pieces, etc. When you add 2 minutes to extra 5, this is 40% and there’s no sense to do that!!!
Agree!!
It’s derby..No wonder he added extra time. Coz Inter playing wasting time. Suck mentality. Can’t handle the pressure. If Inter were great, no matter how much added time will never conceded. Pioli playing mentally defensive. That’s wrong approach
When you got your self a team with morons you make them play in the best way possible to make them win.
Only Handa, Icardi and Mario would make it at another huge club.
4-2-3-1 already worked so well. But Pioli change the tactics and how to approach mentallity. play defensive.
Because MIlan changed their tactics and put 2 striker in the box and that´s where Medel and Miranda struggles the most, when they both have to deal with strong strikers.
Nope..wrong tactics. It should still 4-2-3-1 with FB play defensively. The fatal error was subs J. Mario. He’s the real conductor. Forget EL.
I´m all right about forgetting the EL – don’t care about that simi-strenght league!
The rules supposed to be equal for everybody, it doesn’t matter if it’s derby or not! Every team who leads wasting time, but it’s extremely rare to add 2 minutes to extra 5! You can ask yourself, when you saw when Juventus leads with one goal some ref to add so many time, they not gonna give 5 minutes extra time in the first place. This was clearly Orsato’s gift!
If Orsato wanna give a gift..He can clearly added Penalty. But NO. He’s given the dived player a yellow card.
Im not sure if it’s intended gift or not, but it’s hundred percent gift! As i sad, when you give 5% extra time from playing time and for 90 minutes there’s much more wasted time, no matter if players doing intentionally or not! And then you give 5 minutes extra, who are undeserved in first place in my opinion and then you give another 40% more, this is clear gift and poor referring!
He’s done the best he could. I’m stick with Inter was play bad. If only J. Mario still in play this thing not gonna happen. It should have been play ball possesion. I hope Pioli never subs J. Mario again.
There was one sub in the +5 mint´s extra time; Biabiany but that should be an extra 2 mint´s ontop of the 5 (which were a very big extra time to begin with!)
It was coming when you play so deep. Only few teams in the world can absorb pressure like this and Inter is not build for this strategy.
the muscle men we have are actually build to play this why. This is the way Mancini wanted us to go – with strong muscle players, but we need quality technically players to keep possession. Add them in the summer and we´re there.
inter dont have any set of strategy, one manager comes buy players and leave, the next ask for different type and repeat. No project just a joke repeating every year
Yep and that´s why i DON’T want us to sack Pioli but keep him next season as well
I will only sack him for world class manager. But one thing I hate about Pioli is that beside losing every big game, he have shown no consistency even in previous clubs.
He was great with Lazio. Then they gotten trashed in the Cl play off and that made the players doubt their ability and skills and the hole following season they struggled. Everyone is loving Inzaghi know and praising him but really; Pioli build that team they have and the way they play!
Well I dont think Pioli is the right man for Inter, he may be good at some middle tier team where he is allowed time with low ego players but we already see it that pressure always takes him. If anything I can say with almost certainty, it is that Pioli will not make it to europe unless Milan and Atlanta sucks big time and lose all their matches.
At least, Inter were right to sack FDB. I could’t imagine if Inter stick with FDB. LOL
I hate Inter management for hiring Test experimental coaches. Everyone should be criticized for Inter downfall not only managers and players.
The sickness decision was sack Mancini with only 2 weeks again Serie A started. I doubt Pioli is the right choice, after loosing with rookie team. BIG Team never lost to a rookie team.
Honestly I will never understand that decision. But most of all it shows on how divided Inter is on the big scale….
If Pioli can make it EL, I agree we stick with Pioli. If not, change the coach.
If he can beat napoli or fio also dont forget Lazio and sassulo. I honestly see Inter getting 4 points at best from those games.
They had to; De Boer was destroying everything and everyone. He had more or less all the players against him but Pioli has made a long line of players play really well and everyone supports him…
Plus Lazio my friend… Still; maybe not making it into EL would be a blessing in disguise; then we won´t have to listen to FFP, we won´t have a silly and distracting Thursday night-somewhere-in-Europe-that-no-one-cares-about-game to waste energy on playing. Plus the biggest teams in Europe STILL manage to get great players even though they don’t play in Europe look at Man Utd and Chelsea f.X!
The thing is I wont even mind 15th position finish on the table but with a promise that Inter will challenge for scudetto next season and I am sorry to say this but Mancini was so right although he is a shitty manager tactically. There is huge mess as board and management level and I am relieved that Thoir is no longer here but some clowns are and as long as they are here it will continue YEAR ZERO for the 7 straight season and so on, this is like fraud with the fans.
Agree… I don’t think seeing both Ausilio out and Zanetti too in the summer as a very unlikely scenario! The mess the club is in, with the players we have and the coaches we have and have sacked the last 3-4 years, all falls back on the director of sport Ausilio and also on the vice-pres. Zanetti!
Sabatini could come in with all his visions for the future he had at Roma and a clear line in all his work and Steven Zhang should be our president.
BTW if Milan qualifies for Europe they will need to comply with the FFP ruling meanig major savings!
I dont think FFP matters too much on missing next season because it is agreement for 3 years, so Inter still need to show its balance every year but penalties will apply if we qualify for Europe in those 3 years.
I will keep Zanetti as club ambassador maybe a director but we need someone more technical as vice president along with DS. Moreover, scouts should be also evaluated.
I´m very sure the club will comply with UEFA on the FFP by the end of July too – European football or not. But if Milan goes to Europe they need to sit down with UEFA like we did and make a plan on how to cut down on their expenditures which we already have done for 3 years.
A vice president should be a strong charismatic figure who speaks his mind and speaks very clearly! Especially when our owners are on the other side of the globe! Hopefully Steven will come in strong when Thohir -who´s never present either sells up!
I read that Milan new owners will talk with UEFA in next two weeks about FFF and to report on their considerable loss in debt. Most of Milan players are loan or free or promoted from academy so this season so maybe that is true afterall. The scary thing for them however is the debt that their new owner have taken from Rothschild and they have to pay 30m every year in interest.
Steven looks intelligent and smart but doesnot look like charismatic person but I hope I am wrong and he turns out to be a great president one day ( I Know Zhang will leave presidency to stevan one day)
Yes I have no fear that Milan will become our rivals in a near future at all! Mr.Li brought the club for 790 mil I think it was but he had to borrow 610 mil of that amount – meaning he doesn’t own a dime himself and won’t have any big money to spend on transfers either.
Mr li is a broker like Thohir and not investor and from the look of it he is buying this project for someone else. His maximum assets is 500m so there is no way that he will take this much risk without someone else backing. Their takeover seems very shoddy to me.
Agree it seems like he has borrowed all the money and most of them from an American Hedge found who only is investing in order to get their money back with profit, so clearly he is in it to try and make Milan more “slimlined” and “modern” like Thohir did, and then hope for another one to spend even more than he did so he can earn money for himself and the huge hedge found that has financed the deal
The catch is that if Mr. Li fails to provide the money on time then the hedge fun (Elliot) will take over and probably sell all their players etc.
Scary stuff..
Yes does not seem like Milan´s going to be a big rival to us any day soon (not if Suning really is serious about big spend in order to bring us back to the top)
They cannot compete with us financially but if they build smartly then yes but they have ex interista leading them. lolx
Fassone is not an interista! He´s a “whore” who doesn’t think about anyone but himself and his career! He has been at Juve, Napoli, Inter and now Milan.
I like L.Blanc a lot and he could be a big name coach to hire if the team doesn’t gets it´s shit together. And seeing that we have some very tricky games before us (Fiorentina away I think, Napoli at home and Genoa away) firing Pioli could come into quation in the summer. But not now and not because of today’s game
We are wasting our time if we dont start planing from today, Delays in decisions have ruined Inter. I know Pioli will start with eder/palacio or brozobitch next games. What is the point really by keeping him? For now most of the fans will love to see some youth teams plus gabigol in starting lineup. Season is already over!
No he won’t! The team is made by the players playing for the start today – even Naga could get the pick against next seeing that he played well. Gabi is overrated and clearly not better than Candreva
One good game from yogatomo wont make him any better, He will show his shit self in next game. At least Gabi have secured 3 points for Inter, what have Palacio did? I will play candreva in middle if possible.
Not agree at all! Candreva sucks in the middle.he always “get´s confused when playing behind the strikers- he´s a typical old fashing winger, nothing else.
Gabi scored, but a tap in (by a cross delivered on a silver-plate by Amrbos if I remember correctly), and the goal even my old grand ma could have scored!
Naga was good today and seemed focused and when his rival is Ansaldi – well, no need saying more. Fiorentina have great wingers too just like Milan so having Naga to man mark one of them would be logical
Palacio shouldn’t start … But Mario should – always!
I dont know much about Candreva ability as cm but he works hard and he have a year or two before he lose his pace, maybe he should change his position. Just my thought.
Palacio couldnt even score a tap in before that. Also Pinamonti and gabi is not on the level of even eder but they will never improve on bench or reserves. They should start playing more regularly.
Our lb position is laughable ,there should be no discussion on who is better in there lol
Gabi and Pina should leave next summer and play on loan at Sassoulo or some where like that. We need ready made quality players to lift us in top 4 next season!
Yeah agree with it and I think it was stupid to buy gabi for 30m. I bet that he will be a regular starter in monaco side. Some teams are good for young players, other bad but Inter is disaster.
Inter is one of the biggest teams in the world but we are in a mess and in a constant state of “re-building” both when it comes to squad, management, ownership but also the coach – so a young player should play his football in a club where he can be more “Under the radar” than at Inter in order to grow!
That is quite true, the pressure at Inter is enormous. And in recent years only Icardi have developed to something great. Recently inter scouts were watching tielemans and was juding him if he can absorb the pressure of big club or not. I think it is a much wiser step from scouting team.
Don’t really someone can judge a player and see if he is ready to play for a big club with loads of pressure just by watching him play for his hometown club in a smaller league.
Besides I don’t know the first thing about the player only that he is young, talented and wanted by many clubs
That is not true at all. Most scouts do inquire about the player past and their behavior outside game. I think it is very crucial these days as most of the players are egoist maniacs and divas.
i doubt that. but change it or not we better not make late decision again like last summer.
I wanna hear how that ref explains those two extra minutes he pulled out of his stinking ass.
Me too… doesn’t make sense. Gaglairdini left the field when he got heart so that should be an extra 2 min’ts to the 5 extra…. don’t understand it!
The sad part is that he probably even doesn’t have to unless Moratti steps up and defends us. They probably think they can fuck our chinese owners as much as they please.
We simply need to spend big in the summer to build a great team, a team that knows how to close the games earlier on – we had many huge changes (Biabiany, Perisic and more) but couldn´t take our chances and that let Milan into the game
True, but this refereeing was really biased. I’ve seen “couple” of football games, but this just doesn’t happen. It’s very worrying considering next season. You can’t win anything if refs make fun you like this no matter how well you close the game.
You win if you score on your chances… and we had plenty, simply not good enough in attack!
Sure. I’m just not very optimistic about next season. Pioli gets the boot, some odd name comes and replaces him (let’s be honest, we ain’t getting Simeone). Then we buy players left and right and nobody knows who makes those decisions – Ausilio, Kia Jooribchian, Zhang from youtube compilations? And the circus rolls on…
Hehe – well said. Still; if Pioli gets the boot so will Ausilio, he´s the one hiring him and maybe even a very “weak” Zanetti. We need a strong outspoken vice-presedent to lead, especially when our owners are on the other side of the globe and Thohir no-where-to-be-found, and ready-to-sell-up!
I hope Sabatini or even Oriali could come in – both are very strong persons with clear ideas on where to go with the club and they´ll bring in a coach to stay with us for many years. Simeone is okay but I´d go for L.Blanc any day of the week! He knows how it is to be working at a club with foreign owners, pressure and even with a focus on buying young interesting players – plus he knows Inter and Italian football. I don’t know whether he knows Italian though.
Then again, if Pioli manage to win or do very well in the rest of the season (6 games left right? ) then we shoudl keep him and build with him.
Pioli has failed tacticaly and mentaly…our last 3 matches has been catastrophy. He is to blame for results…results and table dont lie.
Piloli doesnt have what it takes, thats for sure.
THe only big match he has won was against Lazio, failed in every other.
What results, Milan scored almost 2 minutes after extra time was over? This is clearly Orsato’s gift and it’s unacceptable!
Finally someone who agrees! This is totally un-understandable where he got the extra 2 mint´s from!
Sampdoria and Crotone just to mention…where have you been? referees there too?
Pioli hasnt won a single game against the top as far as I can remember… No comment!
Agreed, cuz Fiorentina and Lazio can’t be counted as top teams.
Fio sucks this season.
So do we.
For us, it’s more like last 6 seasons lol
Wait till this fio and lazio beat Pioli again,not to mention Napoli.
Lazio if you count them as top team. …
This is what happens when you cry about Peresic wasting chances. You get Eder who’s worse.
Or Biabia resuscitated
forgive me then 🙁
I so angry at them.. time to rooting for Atleti de Madrid in CL, only one man can save us…
pochetino look more promising for me
They must be mentally ill to accept our bench.
We are 2 goals ahead Pioli brings on 2 new Wingers. Meanwhile Kondogbia and Gagliardini where exhusted since the 60′. What a waste of a season.
He subbed in Murillo a CB not winger
That was the only one and didn’t help because Milan was already on the front foot for half an hour. 2 mins later we conceded the first one and then we are on back foot with two midfielders that can’t even run any more.
This is not Pioli fault. Its the players on the pitch.
Why did they let them control the ball and the midfield for the whole 2nd half? F idiot!
it was piolis fault for subbing in murillo for joao mario. we had like 0 control since then. eder was garbage too
But i wont mind if mgmt sack Pioli. He might be good earlier but the effects is now gone.
Having said that, the players should do better. The blame for drawing this game is more on the players than the coach.
Biabiany?! Why him???
The old woman smiling and show her watch… extra time plus plus.
So many obstacles Mr. Zhang, just soooo many. Just be prepared.
next season
1-juve
2-Roma
3-Napoli/Milan
4-Milan/Napoli
5-Lazio/Inter/Fiorentina/Atalanta
It’s likely to be with this suck management
yea..that’s what i mean if we still keep pioli
Nice game…the referee doing some good job. Although it’s hurt to conceded in injury time. #Pioliout.
Why are averyone blaming Pioli? He toke off Perisic who has a bad knee and also left the pitch last week if I´m not mistaken.
Milan throws on a extra striker and plays with two in the box so playing with 3 defensers would make sense which Pioli does. Biabiany comes on because he knows how to work his socks off as a wing-back as well… all makes sense BESIDES the 7 min´s extra time!
I hope you wont cry when Piloli is sacked when the seasons ends, fanboy.
Everyone loves the team and him after the 1.th 45 min but know, because Milan gets 5 + extra 2(!!!) and they manage to equalize, people hate him (and not Handanovic who made the huge mistake on the goal BTW)
LOL? Inter scored against the flow of play in the first half.
Milan were the controlling team the entire game, which is a joke considering we have better players.
Your BF Piloli is clearly not up to the job, he needs to go.
Agree they play nice football (Milan that is) but our team is build by Mancini and he was muscle men not technically strong players like Montella. My point; Pioli comes in in the middle of the season and inheritances a team. Let´s give him a hole summer transfer window to buy the players he wants and then see…
3 last games didnt made any sense at all.. Brozo over mario.. Then medel to the middle put murillo as starter.. In this match we are doing really good not giving milan times to play and attack with 4231.. Then he scared and put murillo suddenly milan attackin us like crazzy..
Biabany is a joke
Our squad is a joke but the only one on the bench (sides maybe Brozo) with the ability to play as a wing back in a 3-5-2 is him…. And playing with 3 in defense makes sense when Milan has 2 strikers in the box
Wake up – he is rubbish – a bit of pace but otherwise useless
Candreva was tired and we needed fresh legs – would you have chosen Gabi to play as a wing back??
Really bro!? Even so Milan wasn’t really doing much! We dropped back and invited them bro. He is a coward and doesn’t deserve to be our coach.
I blame the shit players as well along with the dirty ref. But we stopped playing at 60 minutes and didn’t counter them. Game of shit.
true and why? Because our tactics are based on long balls to Perisic and he left the field then. Our team lacks so much quality and no coach in the world can fix that…. If the right players arrive in the summer I think Pioli will do well.
Did you guys see Kondogbia today? and Nagatomo? And Ambrso is really good as well; all players Pioli has re-discovered
But I blame Pioli also. Everything is off with this team atm.
then we have different point of view. cause for me, milan is the who adapt with us. i think tonight we react exactly what they expected
hehe (tonight) 😉
I don’t like our game play – it´s build on long balls to the wingers, but we simply lack someone in the middle of the field to control and dictates the play. If we add a play maker (Nainggolan, Verratti or someone like them) a left full back, a central midfielder, a right winger we´re getting there.
i just think, Mr Pioli have no guts for the big games…
What a coward Pioli is, He may as well sub Icardi for Berni. We were playing alright after he changed to 5 at the back and invited Milan to attack. You wonder why MUTD have so many draws? because they have the exact same tactics.
Typical typical typical… the mentality of this team is 0.
Woke up at 630a for this bullshit…fucken Eder couldn’t play in the right ball to Icardi on the counter for us to seal the game. So sick of this shit. Ship him and Pioli to China.
and Perisc couldn’t score on his sitter neither… we created a lot but didn’t score – Biabiany also had a big one
