Serie A

[Ode to Django]

De Jong dropped for Montolivo, took long enough. De Jong a very good player but infront of that defense is just tragic, Montolivo will stick to his position, intercept by reading the game, much better. However he hasn't played regularly for a long time, so will probably struggle.

Bonaventura very average everywhere, don't like him as the #10 would much prefer Honda or Suso, but at least he'll run beyond so he's always a goal threat.

Bacca/Adriano have formed a decent partnership already, i like it, always on the move.

Midfield of both teams isn't good enough

Looking forward to derby Madonnina

Yep. Miranda didn't get the green light to start.

Oh my god, Inter bought Melo, lol. I remember in the summer when I visited the Inter forum, people were making jokes that they'll probably sign Melo... must have missed the moment they actually got him.

Hoping for a lot of temperature and red cards.

Handanovic already at it.

FT Inter 1 A.C Milan 0

All those missed chances early on by Luiz Adriano came back to Haunt A.C in the end.

Juan Jesus and Perisic appeared to have been injured.

9 points from 3 matches. Top of the league!

Hope it's not a bad injury for Perisic. A pretty stupid way to injure himself.

Scudetto here we come.

 

[Barcaman]

Congratulations on the win L! Goal was brilliant. Although, I gotta say, you were a bit lucky with Balotelli almost scoring twice once he came on

 

[Ode to Django]

I thought we played much better, certainly better than last season, infact both teams did. We play like that & we'll win more often than not

 

[Chainsaw]

It was an even match. Both teams had their chances. Balotelli played good. I liked his new haircut.

Thanks (and sure was better than the Liverpool disaster yesterday). Definitely the best I have seen Inter play in a while. Actually winning the league is probably a bit of a stretch but top 3 could be a real possibility. Still early to say for sure though.

Massimo Moratti and Samuel Eto'o in the stands last night.
