Oh!!! Off the post from Ibra!!!!!

Oh dear, dear! Almost a goal, hit the post and rebounded back.

It's for the best if our huge weakness in midfield is exposed... otherwise we'll be hearing the good ol' "we're fine as we are" remarks and end up not signing what we need.

If Allegri doesn't substitute Gattuso for Pato during the break, then he's a complete and utter ignorant.

Is it Julio Ceasar as Inters goalie? Wasn't Copa America players coming back 7 August

I agree, but I don't want to see us losing this thing to Inter either. The problems are abbundantly clear, and if Galliani really wants to ignore them then he'll keep ignoring them whether we win or lose this thing.

Allegri is another huge issue for me, why was Rino even on the pitch, and furthermore, why was he left on the pitch after that ridiculous challenge that should have been his send off??!!! Ridiculous. Something tells me that Allegri is going to be our biggest obsticle this season unless he decides to take his head out of his @ss and sees reason.

If Rino is not taken off at half time and Pato or Cassano are not put in then he should receive a good @ss kicking after this one, because we're not going to win this by relying on Zlatan trying to pull out a piece of magic from a long ball thrown from the defence. Because that is what Allegri is hoping for, that has always been his entire tactical ploy when he has no answer for problems. Geting rid of Pirlo was his doing, he does not know how to integrate creative players within the midfield and now we're seeing the fruits of his labour

Why isn't Pato playing?


ha-ha!!


Oh the drama!.. it's still early August and this is a glorified friendly, don't you think you should be more relaxed?

In my book he already is a complete and utter ignorant for starting Gattuso ahead of Ambrosini. I mean, unless he has a slight niggle, there is no reason to not play Ambro from the start.

I agree that Gattuso has been awful and that he must be substituted but that was never a second yellow in my view.

Not really. You see, some coaches have an air of confidence, an aura that they know what they are doing. And some are just riding their lucky horse seeing where it will take them. Fillipo can spot that, and so can I. Normally I'd agree with you, it's early August (not as much a glorified friendly, this is a serious match), but we've seen enough last year.

Our water-tight defense, and some Ibra + Pato magic helped Senior Allegri more than he would like to admit.

Yes he is. And yes they are. But JC was called earlier for this match.

Really bad half. The energy from the Inter players is just too much for us. We're far too static at the moment and there's no creativity.

Because Allegi though that Robinho would actually get a ball on target for once in his life

It's not a firendly, and the players aren't playing it as such. Inter have been preparing for as long as we have, so there are no excuses of them being ahead of us in their pre-season, even more telling is the fact that most of their first team players are still on holiday, really important players such as Lucio, Cambiasso and Milito. So there shouldn't be any excuses. We have problems and they're showing terribly in this pre-season. If they're not addressed we'll struggle badly this season


Neither should be playing, Boateng should be occupying that right side, he's not an AM, he doesn't support his attackers as a proper AM should. Rino was a terrible mistake that I'm predicting that we'll keep seeing a lot this season because he's an Allegri favourite and he won't see reason.

I thought you guys had already realized that Max is afraid of Rino...

@ han

Thankfully I'm not watching so I have no idea how bad we're losing this game. though I don't really care about Super Cup. it's better to win it, sure, but it's not the end of the world if we don't IMO. especially if it decides or at least influences our transfer moves.

"Mister X" is not the only one we need. Our midfield needs "Mister Y" and "Mister Z" as well if we are to fight for anything this season.

The first tackle was ok, but when he kicked out the second time, that was a yellow imo, especially after he'd just got carded and warned multiple times, stupid behaviour.


Agreed

What truly amazes me is the fact that Allegri continues to start Gattuso. I mean, come on. Still?

Exactly. Totally agreed. And when you throw in stronger Roma and Juve, then it gets more scary.


I know, that's exactly what I was talking about with my brother, KPB is not an AM, never was. Bah!

That was most def. worth another yellow. We're very fortunate with this referee. It could have been game over already, thanks to Gattuso. Allegri should have showed balls and subbed him off during the first half already. Obviously Pato should start the second half instead of him. That's a no brainer.

I still disagree about Gattuso being awful last season, but I'm very worried he will be this season. We're missing Flamini, and that says a lot. I'm also a bit worried about Nesta. Maybe Mexes should be starter afterall once he's fully match fit - which still will take a while.

I don't think it will, just like not making the CL a couple of years ago hasn't, our terrible performances in the league in recent years haven't or our terrible exits in the CL haven't.

Like I siad, if Galliani chooses to ignore what's in front of him, win or lose, we still won't get anyone in. If he doesn't have the financial backing then nothing will happen whether we get slaughtered in this or not. So I'd rather not lose this (however unlikely that is with the way we're playing )

True. And you can spot it too.

Nesta made a couple of mistakes with his passing but recovered everytime, I think his issues are match fitness related and nothing else. He'll be back into the swing of things. Rino imo is a lost cause and shouldn't see that pitch anymore unless it's Coppa Italia

Surprise surprise, Rino still on the pitch How unexpected from Allegri

Mister X would have scored that one... or at least hit the target!

That was better play, we need more of that.
Sub needs to be made, Pato is gonna explode I can feel it!

Pato coming on. Let's hope he gets your feeling. I'd so like this to go 1-1.

If he comes on for Boateng or Robinho Allegri will need to get his head examined

YEHHHHHHH COMMMMEEEEE ONNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robinho must be our AM until we get a real one... what a beautiful pass and well done by seedorf!!

ZLATANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Great great work from Seedorf, Robbie and Zlatan

ZLATAN! What a great team goal!

Ridiculous sub, Rino still on the F&%$& pitch!!!!!!

Is this coach on crack!!! He takes of Binho and leaves idiot Gattuso on the pitch.. I can't believe what i just saw

Just utterly ridiculous!!

Thiago motta is a dirty F@cking w@nker!! I hate him!

Oh Gattuso!!! WTF are you doing!!!!!!!??????????

Nearly sending Inter through

Motta is a dirty piece of sh!t

YEHHHHHHHHHHH UP THEIR @SSES!!!! GREAT STUFF!! PATO GREAT SHOT, WELL FOLLOWED UP BY BOATENG!!
