Inter got their 6th home victory in a row with a Brozovic brace tonight. Here are the ratings:
Handanovic – 6.5 Tonight we saw the good side of Handanovic, kept Genoa at bay when they were on top in the first half. Wasn’t tested in the 2nd.
D’Ambrosio – 5.5 Gave away too many fouls and was lucky not to be booked. He was the weak link when Genoa were dominating.
Miranda – 6.5 Leader in defence. He has the toughest job in Inter’s 11 as he needs to cover for his colleagues mistakes game in and game out.
Murillo – 6 Started lazily but slowly got into the game and lent a hand to Miranda as Genoa grew disillussioned
Candreva – 5 We didn’t hear of Laxalt using his pace or ability, thanks to number 87. Defensively good, but gave nothing in attack at all
Brozovic – 8.5 Epic tonight. He couldn’t do anything wrong and even if he misplaced a pass it came back to him somehow. Fantastic 1st goal.
J. Mario – 8 Calm, collected, assured. Everything a midfielder should be. Superb runs and had a hand in both goals tonight. Complete.
Nagatomo – 5 A typical Nagatomo performance, riddled with mistakes. He cleared a few moves and even came close to scoring.
Eder – 4.5 This cant be the same guy we saw on Thursday against Sparta. Wasn’t able to string one move or a decent pass in the first half.
Icardi – 6 Amongst the chaos, one man always manages to put in a shift. Played like a captain but his team didn’t even create a single decent chance
Palacio – 5 His contribution tonight was much like Eder, got the ball under control but didn’t conjure anything. His age shows as he had run out of steam
Melo – 4.5 Brought on at HT to bring solidity to our midfield. He blew cold most of the time. Don’t remember a positive moment at all.
Perisic – 5.5 Combined better with the midfield than Palacio and Eder but his crossing and passing looked off the boil.
Banega – SV Time wasting sub. One good turn but didn’t have the time to do anything else.
Piolo – 5.5 Nobody understands why he went with that lineup, but credit is due as the team is responding to his call for mental strength and balance
Valeri – 7 For once an Italian ref that doesn’t give away soft fouls on attackers. Burdisso was furious with one decision but got everything else right
Inter’s performance – 6 Chaos in the first half but most will feel some Grinta coming back into this team, a step forward tonight mentally if not tactically.
Let us know what you think in the comments or via our social media.
I dislike Melo very much but he had a solid game. at least a 6. Your ratings are so biased.
Pioli should have 7. Who cares what line up he uses or if he doesnt play your favorite players, its all about the W.
The 5.5 on Pioli is a bit unfair,same goes for the 5 on Candreva considering that you rated Naga with 5 and Danilo with 5.5!I Think Pioli deserves a 6-7 and Candreva the same OR both Nagatomo and Danilo deserve 4.Plus the Team performance is 6 the coach has to have same grade or more!
Agree. Pioli deserve more than 5.5. His decision to brought melo in was good. It was release joao mario from defensif duty a bit, make him more available in attacking move, and the result was second goal.
ever since Melo came in it allowed Brozovic and J.Mario to move more freely. Opened up space and made them much more dangerous. Shows how important having a DM is on this team
I was thinking this also. And Melo should have had a higher grade.
Yup. Melo may have messed up a few passes but he broke up a lot of counter attacks. Him being on the field allowed Mario to push up the field and have to worry about defensive duties.
I did like the mid today. They closed down quickly and moved the ball intelligently. If Inter can pick up a true registra (Weigl, Geiss, Badelj it will allow our more creative mid to actually function, while supporting our 2 man defence (which is basically Miranda and Handa).
If I was Ausillio I’d be focusing on getting at least 1 wingback, 1 CB and a DM/registra and sell the dead weight (anyone over the hill basically).
Agree or Veloso!
