    Champions League 2022/2023

    I've been more critical of Xavi than most here. Definitely not his biggest fan, I don't think he is a 'top' manager, but he's not bad for sure. I watch Calcio weekly, Inter being good is not a surprise, I did already put here weeks ago that I predict them to win the CL. I think Inzaghi is great...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    He's probably asking for a wage which at least matches his PSG one, which we can't give. And let's not lie, he does love money, he wouldn't have left initially if that wasn't the case. Bringing him in is not that difficult financially if he asked for a reasonable wage. At 20m or so he is paid a...

    Champions League 2022/2023

    People always want the thing they don't have, but don't appreciate the good things they take for granted, especially in football. Case in point : Inter want to sack Inzaghi regardless of him getting them to a CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL because he's coming 4th in the league 😂😂 and winning an Italian...

    Champions League 2022/2023

    I would really note something : generally, trends with managers as it refers to league play/knockout games tend to stay true over time and repeat themselves. For example, Inzaghi despite only managing for a short times in his career has already won like 4 Italian cups and has an 80 percent win...

    Champions League 2022/2023

    I see it completely the opposite. Inter has the tactical setup to beat Madrid but they have something else too, a team which plays without fear and an extremely good cup manager. They have heart and grit as well as class and tactical strength. Madrid aren't that good this season and tired of...

    Champions League 2022/2023

    Inter isn't mediocre, they are a solid team, and tactically very well organised. We have to take inspiration from that. If anything, the fact they look so good playing with guys like Dzeko, Darmian, Calhanoglu, Mkhyitarian just shows that you can make a lot work in the right setup. We have...

    It's true, they are not bums by any means.

    Champions League 2022/2023

    The washed up versions of Dzeko, Darmian and Mkhyitarian are about to play a CL final and we have clowns here saying Pedri is not good enough for CL round of 16.

    Champions League 2022/2023

    You think 33 year old converted full back at CB Darmian is much better than Pique or Garcia? Come on. The problem is you're ignoring the role of the manager in getting them here. Inter hadn't got past QFs for 13 years before Inzaghi this year. People blame Xavi for that because he was the...

    Champions League 2022/2023

    They're a good team, because their manager is sensational in cup games. He has the best cup record in Italian football.

    Champions League 2022/2023

    This is how Inzaghi is balling out with Dzeko and Darmian, and people here will say our team isn't good enough to get past group stages. :lol: :lol:. Absolute comedy.

    Champions League 2022/2023

    It's to do with the approaches, Madrid is a much more favourable game for Inter. Madrid play the knockout ties the same way every time, cede control and wait for transitions on the counter to get ball to Vini and Benz in space. By and large it works well against likes of City and Liverpool, who...

    Champions League 2022/2023

    Their squad is okay, but they have major holes, much more than we do. We complain about Busquets whilst they are playing a 33 year old Darmian converted to CB as their starter. However, I really like their manager. Conte couldn't even get 3rd in CL groups when he had Inter and Inzaghi has got...

    Champions League 2022/2023

    Inter will knock out Milan, and I think will win a final against Madrid if they get through, City would be more difficult. It will certainly be very well contested. Their manager has an unbelievable record in cup competitions and they have something special for sure. A fight/heart. This Inter...

    Sergio Busquets

    Now need to get a good pivot to pair De Jong and maintain the defensive strength of this double pivot. Getting best out of Frenkie will need that even if he is ok at single pivot but not great.

    La Liga Round 34: RCD Espanyol - FC Barcelona 2-4

    The mentality of the team is the best thing about it. We lack much more tactically and technically.

    Champions League 2022/2023

    You are pretty much right but its not something I'm going to revel in, it is deeply unfortunate. And besides, City took 1-1 away from the Bernabeu, I back them to win the tie now.

    I cant believe you want to see those cunts keep robbing games over and over again. 0.04 xG so far for Madrid lol, they are pathetic, what a shame Pep is such an ideologue.

    Champions League 2022/2023

    They've been terrible. Created zero except a poorly placed long shot that should never go in. The problem is City and Pep is not adaptable, it is their ball dominant style or nothing, when Madrid always win in CL by waiting on the counter and individual magic.
