Inter with the goal, it’s been coming for a long time

[McLewis]

Good header, that.

Inter continue to grind out results. Important ability to have.

[RealGunner]

Best part of this Inter is how solid the defence is. Only conceded like 1 goal at home so far

[McLewis]

Dat pace from Eder tho.

Omeonga sent off for the professional foul.

[Luca]

Another red for Genoa. What is this game

[McLewis]

Yikes straight red. Studs definitely up.

[Casciavit]

TBH I can't speak for others, but I knew we'd be struggling. We replaced our entire first 11. It's going to take time for them to gel.

Still though the biggest problem is the lack of pace. All our attackers are slow. I hate Niang but for the first time in his career he could have been useful.

[M99]

We are atrocious away ffs.

I too thought we would struggle but expected a bunch of draws not losses.

[Luca]

Calma, 4 wins from 6 matches is a decent enough start.

I don't rate Montella at all but I don't think its fair to react this way after every loss.

I mean, realistically, if you guys finish 5th or lower, Montella is out. If he finishes inside the top 4 then that means the season was a success.

The squad may have greatly improved but it's not yet at that point that it needs to be. The only marquee signing was Bonucci.

[Kaladin]

We've looked absolutely atrocious in 5 of those 6 matches, Montella is a fraud, should've never trusted 200m to this pleb

You're being greedy imo, head and shoulders above last season and for the first time in several years, an optimistic future. Take it one match at a time. At least you've obliterated a couple teams in the EL.

[rincon]

Mandragora

The kid is a beast.

[InterMalia]

Inter winning without convincing where have we seen that now again? Yh 2015-16 season when we were christmas champions. Of course the rest is history and we didn't even make top 3. Every point we get now will come good after december when shit gets real, and shit will get real. The only team who won't get into a negative spell is Jj. The rest will be hunting shadows.

Oh and Icardi being the last defender:


:fap:

[Luca]

I don't think Napoli will fall off either, their team is too good.

Speaking of Napoli, RAI reporting Milik has torn his ACL (again), will miss the season if this is the case. Can't help but feel for the guy, horrid luck.

[Interman]

milan losing pace in the top 4. they might need to win UEL to qualify for UCL as Man U did last season. Juve, Napoli n Roma are locked for top 3. 4th spot will probably be clinched by Inter. 200m investment only to qualify for UEL would be a catastrophic failure.

[breva]

Poor Milik, so much talent so fragile.Hopefully, not another G. Rossi. Inter a little lucky. 87th minute is leaving it late.

[Casciavit]

How's Douglas Costa been?

[McLewis]

Great last gasp goal from Atalanta at the end there.

[Luca]

How's Douglas Costa been?

He looks better and better each week. Has not locked down a starting role but did start yesterday and looked quite good.

I think he's going to come good, in my opinion

[Kaladin]

imagine getting battered by Sampdoria after spending 500 million in the summer.

Bonucci leaving Juve for Milan already looking like a fraud

It was 200m, 300m if you wanna include GL tax and im being generous

Lad, you spend like half a billion every summer and have nothing to show for it

Our focus is the EL now, just like you, however unlike you we have legit competition. Arsenal, Pool, Atalanta, Roma, Dortmund etc

Here's hoping our draw is as generous as it was for you

Can't wait to get into CL and school your ass, dear god please a group with United

[Warrior]

It really depends on your winter mercato. Buy one winger is the priority but honestly Milang can improve in most positions. The current group, i doubt is good enough to even reach the final.

Also Montella needs to find a stable approach to the games soon, give his team an identity. 10 new players is hard for the cohesion, so juggling with the starting formations doesn't help.

[Kaladin]

Milik out for 4-6 months

[rincon]

Milik might be done for Napoli. I guess they might go for a new CF in the summer. Already in the winter they are said to be looking for an experienced striker to fill in the gap.

[M99]

Holy shit he tore his ACL on his other knee. Thats some unreal bad luck.

[Robespierre]

Screaming goal  in the midst of a German  highway sounds as a sort of mystique experience.
What a time to be alive.
Listened on Rai Radio, and I realized how we 've greatly struggled against Genoa at home.
3 golden points , for the rest if one watches these 6 matchdays think that the   hierarchies are already clearly emerged
1 Juve 2 Napoli 3 Roma 4 Lazio 5 Inter 6 Milan / Torino
Milanese team will have to work much also to reduce gap from Lazio (this year also the 4th place means CL in Italy... )
p.s. that's why I rated Spalletti very highly above Montella

[rincon]

There are rumors now that Montella's position could be in danger. Milan is facing criticism and he met with the directors. Fassone was critical after the Samp loss, emphasizing how losses like at Samp cannot become routine and that "the attitude needs to change quickly".

The next games are Milan-Roma and Inter-Milan. Will be a tense two games for Montella.
