Match Thread: Genoa vs Internazionale

  • rth91391a day ago

    The disappointing part of Carboni’s loan is that he doesn’t play not because he isn’t good enough, it is because his effort has been spotty.

  • rth91391a day ago

    Damning substitution for Frattesi, Diouf hasn’t looked defensively solid in a central midfield role all season.

  • rth91391a day ago

    The most frustrating thing about us is that we feel so flimsy at the back. Our frontline defense can be great all game like today, but as soon as we start having to defend in our defensive third we lose our heads a bit.

    Doveri on a power trip, fuck him

  • tomorri11a day ago

    Why doesn’t Barella ever take the shot anymore at the edge of the box open with so much space.

  • Anplen2a day ago

    CALMA

  • rth91392a day ago

    Something I can’t really understand is where was Sommer? Why is he all the way back on his line when that first long ball is being played?

    • danny2752a day ago

      He hadn’t received a written invitation and confirmation to leave his line

      • rth91392a day ago

        Club needs to hire a sideline notary and paperboy to speed up the communication there

        • makesyougohmmm116 hours ago

          Please do the needful.

  • danny2752a day ago

    Was Sommer gone for a smoke there? Fuck me

  • rth91392a day ago

    We don’t play with wingers, but we’ve still got like 6 guys who could do a job out there in a 4-3-3 if they had to.

  • TheDestroyer6301a day ago

    DDR SLAP THEM ALL IN THE FACE

  • rth91392a day ago

    We are up 2-0 and Barella is yelling at teammates and refs for mistakes like we are on the losing side

  • ComradePoula4a day ago

    Inter playing with this kind of intensity in a game like this is just insane to me. They’re like a pack of hounds any time they lose the ball.

    • rth91396a day ago

      What bothers me is that we don’t play like this in bigger games. I understand that pressing like this has more risk against more talented teams, but the change should be that we’re more selective about when we press, not more passive in how we do it.

      • ComradePoula2a day ago

        Most teams have players that can punish you if you play like this against them. You just need a couple of technical players and some speed on the counter to play through the press, which Genoa don’t really have.

        So I understand why you don’t usually press like this against the bigger teams. But it’s still insane that you’re doing it after a midweek game as well.

        • rth91393a day ago

          It is helping us a ton that Lautaro and Barella don’t have to worry about being able to go a full 90 every three days. Our added depth has a MASSIVE impact even when it’s not actually on the pitch.

          • makesyougohmmm116 hours ago

            Only thing is, Pio has to learn to fall whenever he is being manhandled in the penalty area. I know it is not in the spirit of the game, but so too is manhandling an opponent.

  • Anplen2a day ago

    We’re literally non existent

  • ComradePoula1a day ago

    A team with Inter’s results against the bottom half of the table and Milan’s results against the top half would walk Europe. I wonder what would that team be called?

    • rth91391a day ago

      That does present a good thought exercise, what’s the best season ever if you combined two club’s results like this?

      • ComradePoula2a day ago

        The closest one I could find is 8889. But we would still miss the Coppa Italia in that case.

        • rth91391a day ago

          I’ll bet if there was an easy way to do this you could find a season where a combined club scored like 110 points. Only need a few result flips when you have starting points like 201314 Juve with 102 points

          • ComradePoula1a day ago

            Wouldn’t that just negate some of the results that the other team (Juve in that case) got?

            • rth91391a day ago

              I was thinking more like you pick and choose based on opponents. So like you can take Juve’s results against everybody they got the double against, then you’re just looking for somebody who can improve on the 5 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses Juve had against Inter, Fiorentina, Verona, Napoli, and Lazio

    • valendinosaurus1a day ago

      AC Internazionale Milan

    • rgm180a day ago

      Viola-Nero

      • makesyougohmmm116 hours ago

        What? Who has purple? It will be same as Genoa. Rossoblu.

  • ComradePoula3a day ago

    Fuck off. Why are you this good ffs?

    • makesyougohmmm116 hours ago

      It’s ok. Inter Bells is on the way and the jinx will come along with it.

    • P_for_Pizza5a day ago

      Ahhh, looks like Lautaro heard your appreciation and dedicated this one to you!

      • ComradePoula2a day ago

        Will never not be jealous.

  • rgm181a day ago

    Beautiful turn

  • rth91392a day ago

    What a goal. Crazy balance from Lautaro there

  • Habrikio2a day ago

    In Inter-Liverpool they would have been like 2 penalties for that!

  • rth91392a day ago

    Bad decision to go down. I don’t think that was enough for a penalty, but I think if Sučić tries to stay up he either gets a really clean look or it would’ve have ended up enough for a pen

    • ComradePoula1a day ago

      Never blame players for going down. Always go down when you can because you never know.

      • rth91391a day ago

        True. Would’ve been a nailed on penalty with the ref from midweek

    • MangioSpaghetti🇮🇹1a day ago

      Yeah he could’ve very easily snuck a foot to pass it to whoever was unmarked in the box (I think Lautaro)

  • ComradePoula2a day ago

    Does Bisseck have a bet on how many shots he has to take or something? This is his 3rd shot in 25 minutes.

    • rth91392a day ago

      He’s always good for a few shots a game when he’s finding himself that far up the pitch. In terms of the probability that he takes an opportunity to shoot that’s presented to him, he actually might be our most selfish player next to Hakan.

  • ComradePoula6a day ago

    I hate how much I like Lautaro as a player. It’s unfair that they have him while we keep going through one striker after another.

    • rgm183a day ago

      We don’t appreciate him enough

      • ComradePoula3a day ago

        Really yeah. Even when he isn’t scoring, he still makes everyone else around him much better.

        • rgm181a day ago

          Yep, really hope he can stay healthy for our champions league final run this year

  • rth91391a day ago

    That’s one of those where I wish Sučić (or whoever it would be there) would be more selfish. We are much too cute in trying to walk the ball in sometimes.

  • rth91392a day ago

    Our new guys (Sučić, Diouf, and Henrique) all have such great close control. Henrique has a few nutmegs in him here and there, and Sučić has that lane change dribble move down pat.

  • Tuttocitta3a day ago

    Can they stop with that stupid orange ball? I basically have to narrate the game to my father since he’s colorblind. What’s even the point of an orange ball it’s not like with global warming we get snow in Italy anymore

    • rth91392a day ago

      I forgot about the color blindness issue, but I do think they should choose the ball based on there being snow in the forecast. I’m not color blind and I don’t really love the orange ball here either.

      There’s no reason they couldn’t switch balls mid game if they had to either.

    • Echoes-act-31a day ago

      It was very useful in Atalanta Verona actually with the intense fog

      • makesyougohmmm116 hours ago

        Should be decided based on weather forecast or current weather conditions. Although also sometimes, the fog looks bad on TV than from the pitch.

  • ComradePoula1a day ago

    Leali my brother, what you doing here?

  • Hakujingomi2a day ago

    My record at hatewatches is not good.

  • rth91392a day ago

    Bisseck scoring a wingers goal there lol
