Walter Mazzarri took his Inter side to Cesena for their eighth Serie A fixture of this campaign on Sunday evening. Who was your Man of the Match? Cast your vote below and we’ll announce the result on this week’s edition of StudioInter: The only 100% Inter podcast available in English online.

WM just delaying his departure.. What the heck, it’s “only” cessena with 10 players and he can’t think of a way to blow the enemy? LoL
Sub only one player? What for? So you can have an excuse to blame fitness issues in the future? Oh such genius..
To the coach asslickers, mainly they who blame only players while intentionally closing their eyes about Mazzarri stupidity, well it’s true that the current players on the team aren’t those like high elite, but it’s not bad at all, blaming only players when the coach don’t have any idea whatsoever really are not wise at all LoL
This win are raising the morale? Pfftt.. What morale? You think players are stupid? If the opponent are madrid and we won 1-0 then it’s indeed a morale booster. But it’s “only” cessena and we can’t even win properly, morale booster? Morale booster my ass!! Really can’t wait the matches against the rest of big teams on the league. LoL
hernanes for second in a row
Pity for both bona and puscas. They must be losing their faith and spirit after this match, especially puscas for his recent performance. Wishing the best for them both!
palacio sucks does he even understand the concept of OFFSIDE??? what an idiot. for him to score once he needs like 10 scoring chances
Palacio is old…..mazzarri ruins older strikers…first milito now palacio!
First of all, an important win. 3 pts away from home, huge morale booster. Handanovic was great, Hernanes was great, awesome penalty take by Icardi. Midfield/Defense looked great recovering the ball and moving forward but the problem was the final pass and finishing. We created a lot but couldn’t finish. I am not going to blame the fact that the players couldn’t finish great build up play on WM. The players play the game and need to be the ones who put the ball in. The fact is we are struggling to score. Thats largely on Palacio, Icardi, Kovacic, etc. They are generally not on the same page. SO MANY offside calls, poor finishing and poor communication between the guys up front. That doesn’t mean the chances weren’t there. We can’t just automatically blame WM because a handful of players are struggling for form. I am seriously wondering tho why WM would not have taken Palacio out towards the end for Puscas or Bonazzoli. I think its because he knows Palacio needs a goal badly for his confidence cause he really looks off…At the end of the day a win is a win. Great to have 3 pts and head in the right direction up the table!!!!
indeed. can’t agree more
i can hear the violin in the background as i read this! Let me explain a few things…..THIS IS INTER’S FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON ON THE ROAD! against a serie B team…..Cesena is in third last and inter got the 3 points thanks to a penalty that cost leali a red card……was it a pretty game? NO !! Did Inter dominate while being a man up? NO !! was cesena able to put pressure on Inter ? YES !! if you play like this versus juventus will Inter lose 3-0? YES !!! don’t you think that performances like this are boring? I do !
I guess you don’t complain when rubentus get pure bs penalty against serie B team before.
i suppose inter fans don’t complain either when they lose 4-1 to last place in serie a or 3-0 the week after…….are you so desperate for a win that you will accept a 1-0 win over 3rd last with a man up on the field? let me guess … .the answer is yes because it’s better than losing 4-1 right? get real if you think inter will finish top 4 in the league
STOP USING THE NON EXISTENT WING BACK!! no one in this squad can be a good wing back. so try another tactics or bouy a guide book with your stupid money. after Samp match we will hear WM keep complain about player fitness. genius indeed
another tactics? which tactics o mighty genius? which tactic that doesn’t employ any winger? which tactic that doesn’t require any sort of winger? which tactic that put all of their players in the middle of the picth? please do tell me which great team who had no wingers? cause as far as i can see, THERE IS NO WINGER EITHER A REAL OR AN ADEQUATE WINGBACK/FULLBACK IN THIS TEAM AT ALL (except maybe dodo)
chill bro. I guess we all can see WM tactics sucks or at least it doesnt work. this is real football kido. plenty tactics we can use in real world. tiki taka another example another tactic that doesn’t using winger/wing back. I’m not saying we can use that. but like I said before, there’s plenty tactics in football. or you see nothing wrong with WM tactic? and please calm down. I’m not genius but IMO, keep using wing back for attacking kinda sucks right now
tiki taka doesn’t using winger/wingback? then in what position is daniel alves playing? defensive midfielder?
i know there is always a weakness in every tactics. so there will always be a counter tactics. but the problem is when you wanted to counter the counter tactics yet you don’t have an adequate player to do the job
true, but their main attack using short pass or 1-2 pass. I remember Alves one of their top assist too. but like I said before, WM tactics almost depend on our so called wing back. our mid looks decent, so why not using that rather than using long pass from nowhere
Mazzarri’s a coward of a man. And that’s not how you win the team back on your side. And if he doesn’t give Bonazzoli and Puskas a chance against a 10 man Cesena, we won’t see them in the first team this year. Terrible game, terrible passing, terrible tactics, terrible Obi. My vote goes to Hernanes. His form seems to get back, which is rare good news.
Man this sucks…wm should be thrown out…icardi is unbelievable…i mean doesn’t move…move back to a 4 man defence for crying out loud…there is no coherence whatsoever…plus i think mancini could be back…he watched sampdorias game vs roma and inter vs cesena…is it a sign ??
Was Mancini really watching the game from the stand?I’m serious I didn’ see him
yes he was there on the stance.
Oh God i hope he comes and replaces Mazzarri,at least we know we would use a back four insteed of back three
He was, but he also was at the Roma-Sampdoria game. So that doesn’t mean anything.
This was an ugly game but I will TAKE THE 3 POINTS and look at it as a (small, no make that tiny) step towards something bigger
Handanovic for me for saving this team throughout the game. Hernanes was active.
you can tell the players were exhausted. 90 mins game with only one substitute. WM is making me sick
Poor. Why didn’t we change formation against 10 men sure it would make sense to put on an extra midfielder/striker and get rid of a central defender and switch to 4 at the back or is that too much common sense for Mazzarri?
because WM is a stubborn coward as Kuda said..
our forward played like total crap.
this mediocrity started to annoyed me soooo muchhhhhh!
mediocrity is not mazzarri’s fault – it’s a mediocre team with a mediocre coach so you should expect mediocre performances……
Handanovic and Kovacic were pretty good. But I have to give it to Hernanes
it looked like inter were a 10-man team.. shameful performance..
Hernanes and Kovacic. WM is unbelivable. I can’t believe he didn’t give play time to Bonazzolli or Puscacs. Against a 10 men Cesena, in a game where Palacio was not too sharp, and in the middle of a super super where schedule. WM is the most conservative (coward) coach in the world.
Excactly my point here… just HOW? AND WHY? normal coach would bring in puscas or bona to give another scent to attacking play. And to REST OUR KEY PLAYERS!!!
I understand your point but we don’t know how ready these youngsters are to play in the first team. If you look at Mbaye’s crossed and how much he was touted you can understand why he was not played so much. I was hoping one of Bonzz/Puscas would come on when we scored a 2nd goal but that was not to be.
It’s not madrid nor munich, plus they’re only 10, so why not?
No, because the coach can’t manage his brain well, let alone his own team LoL
if he never give them chances, so how do we know they are ready or not?
I agree, they should be given a chance in Serie A in the right game(s)
Inter are in the middle of a crazy schedule. They have to play 7 games in 22 days. Guarin, Dambrosio, Nagatomo, Osvaldo, NVilla, Jony… A lot of players are injured. Osvaldo (one of our 3 strikers) won’t be back for another 3 weeks or so. The least WM could do is to give some rest to Palacio, who has been struggling to get his form back, and give some play times to Bonnazolli and Puscas. Like you said they have never been tested at the top tier, but this was the perfect chance to do it. Against a small team playing with 10 man, in a small stadium. I am not asking him to play the kids at San Siro against Milan, or Napoli, or Juventus. I totally lost faith in WM, and I can see that so did the players, and probably E.T. too
I see your point mate…I think Puscas should definitely have a few minutes given Palacio’s form and fitness
What a disgusting Inter performance. Can’t nail down a 10-man Cesena and only goal we score is a stupid penalty! If not for that penalty it would be another draw! We are playing without attackers, Palacio is trying to be our third wingback instead of being a presence in the box and Icardi is just standing on the edge of the box doing nothing! Disgraceful!
i cannot blame Icardi because he’s atriker that needs service….how many times do inter build up play in the midfield to get the ball in the box? i don’t even think mazzarri practices that at all! all inter does is pass to the wings and cross …… if it doesn’t work against a team like Cesena how can Inter expect to wim games against the big teams in serie a ?
Hernanes played another good game. My vote goes to him. Worst? Fcking Walter Mazzarri! For his either stubborness or incapability to adapt!
