1st half: We were by far the better team and if it wasn't for that injury to Medel then Milan wouldn't even be on the scoreline. 2nd half: Started really well but then both teams had sloppy play syndrome and as ecstatic it was to snatch it at the end it has to be said that Perisic overall was really wasteful. Pioli got his tactics right with playing Medel as a sweeper and taking out Ansaldi for Nagatomo since the former was bound to be expelled. K-dog is still making the same stupid mistakes: too many touches, not enough simple quick passes though he did have a better game than usual. Icardi didn't have much service but he should have at least scored from 1 of his 2 good chances. It feels almost like a loss but the lads did well in fighting back twice.
I can't believe it. 2-0 to 2-3. We played so well in the 1st half that I stopped watching to go buy some stuff for Thanksgiving. Congrats to Hapoel Be'er Sheva. As for us.....we don't have anymore excuses.
Great 1st half. Rather shitty 2nd half. Kudos to Fiore, they managed to make it seem like inter was the one with a man down. I still don't understand why Pioli keeps putting in Melo, dude is done, regardless this is a much needed boost for the next game vs Napoli.
DVRed the game: saw the first '60 so far and "whoa" re: that 1st half. We put 3 past the best defensive team in the league, no? That coupled with that emotional, last-minute draw vs. Milan. Yea, EL elimination sucks but at least we can focus on Serie A now and hopefully we can finish in the top 6, maybe higher?
Yeah good point, before the match fiore was the 2nd-3rd best defensive team and we put 3 past them before the red card. I think a lot of teams, players and coaches know we are under performing and if we take advantage of the slumps Napoli and Fiore are in we could definitely finish top 3-5.
What happened to this team? We look completely different against Napoli, no high press, no tenacity, no team play. Kdog was awful but Banega and Brozovic weren't much better in midfield. Perisic and Candreva were well marked but Icardi really should have scored in the first half. Defense was all over the place however Handanovic was heroic with the amount of saves he managed to pull out. Very disappointed we couldn't take advantage of Napoli's bad form.
I thought the result was a bit misleading: yes, going down 2-0 early means our defense was in shambles but if you watch the whole match, the score is a bit much. Pioli, like a new coach, is trying to instill some much needed consistency and that will probably take some time.
