Inter mostly in control but they struggle with their flat 3 man midfield. Still starting to create a few chances through the middle. 3 runs now they have got through and that needs to be stopped. Roma dangerous enough on the counter. Lopez with that huge save at the start but his kicking is a disaster waiting to happen. Bambi on a football pitch. Doin ok overall. Veretout owned Barella on the goal and he is still crying about it. Little bitch
45 more minutes like the end of the half and we'll be lucky to get a point. We need to get back on the ball and at least make them at least shift and run around.
'Bout sums up Pau. Brilliant save followed by a dreadful kick out. I shudder every time he has the ball at his feet. We're playing OK. But OK isnt good enough. Need to hold possession better in the 2nd half.
This could be a long 2nd half. Inter controlling the game. Villar & Veretout working their socks off. Pellegrini bar his deflected shot offering nothing. Dzeko needs to sort out his passing
From his first game his kicking has been suspect but man hes not cut out for this type of football. Similar situation to Atalanta ht. They look close so we'll see if he can get to them switched on for the second half this time. Mikh has been very good when on the ball. Hes carried them 15-20 yards without losing it. Best player in that first half for us. This is the game to step up and own it. More chance here than against Atalanta imo with their midfield 3 that doesnt quite fit together. Interesting game.
Moment of the first half - Conte went to the handshake with Fonseca, seen his magnificent head of hair and quickly put on a cap. There are no coincidences.
I hope Fonseca has the balls to sub in mayoral for dzeko around minute 60-65. He hasn't done much and we could use mayoral's pressing and speed so there's at least a threat of a ball over the top.
Vidal will never change. Struggles to pass the ball 5 yards at times but loves complaining at everyone else.
Not a good start. Looks like hes fixed nothing. Midfield is overrun in the centre with every pass. Lopez with a huge save again.
