Serie A Superthread

Ranocchia needs to be taken off before he gets sent off, nothing to do with the o.g. because he couldn't do anything about it, and Rafinha on for Vecino or Gagliardini.

Pull off Borja Valero for Rafinha. The man is just an horrendously poor footballer. He'd struggle in Serie C, never mind at this level. Never seen a slower, more technically incapable midfielder in Serie A.

The own goal was just a freak but Handanovic is an absolutely disgrace. Just feebly putting a hand out. Yeah, it would have been almost impossible for any goalkeeper to have saved it but at least try. He's the captain tonight for God's sake and he so evidently doesn't give a damn. Just another one happy to pick up wages whereas a clown like him should be signing on.

Not one single player put in a decent performance in that first half and you just know the heat is going to come onto Spalletti when we drop to fifth after this weekend which is ridiculous because he's by miles our best coach since Mourinho. Ausilio needs to be f\/cked out the door and Sabatini, who I rate highly, if he doesn't cop what a joke Ausilio is. Suning also are highly responsible for this because they won't spend anything and just come out with guff.

Probably less hilarious than ye being in seventh place.

Handanovic couldn't have at least attempted a dive to save it? Honest to God, I cannot see why anyone considers that guy a good goalkeeper.

No way any GK is going to save that, for a simple reason no one even expects that ball to back so early when CB just cleared it.

Doesn't matter that no goalkeeper is going to save that, it's the fact he didn't even try. I don't expect him to pull off miracles, I do expect him to at least put in effort. Otherwise, we might as well save on his wages and pick some lad up off the street and throw him in. Man is useless.

Last week Palacio, this week Pandev.

There wasn't any time. If anything he tried but before he even raised his arm, ball was in net.

Look at his body, it isn't even preparing to dive. He's just "oh its going in, ah sure, who cares".

Could anything be more descriptive of our squad than this?



Edit: Probably pretty accurate as I can't even get it to work... its supposed to be the old video of a mosquito outfoxing Brozovic (clown was trying to hit it with a pillow).

Spalletti was just on Rai. To be honest, he's really starting to rub me up the wrong way. Laughing and smiling through interviews. Blaming journalists for talking about different players coming to Inter. Saying everything is his fault. Enough. Go out and say that tonight was the final line, if the players don't pick themselves up then they're out, that they're now playing for their futures. Who wants to continue to play for a massive club can prove their worth it or come June, out, simple as. And good luck to anybody who thinks that playing like this is going to get them into the view of another big club where everything will go fine. This is their zero day. Either they improve and prove their worth or goodbye to (supposedly) elite football. Where is the strong man with Inter? Where is the guy who makes these clowns frightened to go into the dressing room after a performance like tonight? Spalletti is good but I am starting to wonder after that interview whether he's the strong man we need. In one capacity or another Matrix needs to be brought in. Imagine disgracing yourself like tonight and then going into the dressing room to find Marco Materazzi waiting for you. Someone needs to give these clowns a kick in the hole and I don't see where it's coming from.

I saw the game and was surprised how little fight Inter showed. Genoa really put it up to Inter, typified by Pandev, and I kept waiting for Inter to match it. Candreva looked to me the only one in the first half likely to produce something special. Handanovic looked pretty cheesed off. Is he looking to get out?

Hopefully. Most overrated goalkeeper of our generation if not ever. Absolute clown; couldn't catch a ball with a bucket.
