Inter Milan are going to DESTROY Bologna as they regain their poise and form in the table. My prediction is 3-0.
Inter are messing about too much with formation. Mainly because of thelack of defensive wingbacks and full backs. Only Javier Zanetti can defend. Toldo Zanetti--Cordoba--Materazzi--Gio/Favalli Ze Maria--Veron--Zanetti--Stankovic Adriano--Martins For me Davids just hasn't done it. Make Veron and Zanetti the partnership. Go four at the back and keep it solid. The LB postion is the key, mainly becuase Favalli would play there, although I would love to see Gio Pasquale playing as an gret attacking full back, like Ashley Cole. Bring Dejan inside and allow Favalli or Gio to protect this area of the field. Unless it goes wrong on the right, take off Ze Maria and put on Van der Meyde or Dejan on the right, with Emre on the left inside. OR - we can do an Anderlecht (see below.) Despite his cockup at Florence, Martins is best with Adriano. Now if you take one of Inter's best performances (against Anderlecht in the CL - IMO.) Toldo Ze Maria--Burdisso--Cordoba--Favalli Cambiasso--------Veron Emre-Stankovic Martins---------Adriano Bar Burdisso (injured at the mo.) we played a very creative midfield, sending everything through the centre and dominanting the presence in the centre. This negates the presence of out and out wingers (playing to our squads strength.) Hence Mancini should and could play: Toldo Zanetti--Materazzi--Cordoba--Gio/Favalli Zanetti-------Veron Stankovic--Emre/Recoba Martins--Adriano
Stankovic is suspended for this match. Here is the probable lineup as reported by RAI Televideo: Toldo J.Zanetti Burdisso Mihajlovic Pasquale Cambiasso Davids Veron Emre Martins Adriano
ANOTHER draw! I think Mancini is walking a tightrope - his job is on the line, big time. 87th minute goal....for Bologna..... As a said before Inter need a new defender....quick!
Sue, when did Burdisso come back? I thought they said he was out till xmas. Oh well..... Still need a world class CB to support him.
2 wins that all we have for this season. Juve 9, wins Milan 6, Udinese 5 Chievo 4 Lecce 4 Inter 2, that is horrible. 9 draws, that is unbelivable. you should end with less than 9 draws for the season not BY THE 11th GAME. throw in the towel, they're done. My predition: inter finishes in 5th this season, with mancini being fired half way thru.
Yah, it's sad to be this early in the season and already feel like the run at a Scudetto is over. I'd like to think Inter could accomplish something in the CL, but with this defense that seems unlikely as well.
Ok World Class Football in CL then below average Football in the League. Inter need to finish at least 3rd or 4th to get to the CL.They arent getting the job done and with this kind of class squad they should be much higher in the League.The defense does have problems and this is whats wrong with Inter. They need to sign 2 or 3 big name defenders in January. They can score goals whenever but, the problem is the defense allows like 2 goals a match.
