Aquilani is quality. His touches were beautiful yet effective and he was the only one that can spread the ball wide to Krasic or send accurate long balls to Iaquita from any position in the pitch. We should pass the ball to him more often.

Yes and let Inter win this garbage cup and die later in Serie A

Compared to other departments, it is always more difficult for the defense department to gel. Half of our defense is new and hence it would take time for them to understand each other. What matters more to me is how we play upfront.

Given the team we fielded this match I did not expect any better result. We fielded only 5 or 6 first team players, and were playing against the CL winner. Things would be different if we have Diego, Marchisio, Motta, and hopefully a good right winger (e.g. Krasic). Actually I saw some...

:tup:

Totally agree with you about the usefulness and uselesness of Sissoko in different formations. I would not sell him in any case though, as he would still be very useful for destroying purposes even in a wrong formation.

I think Marchi has been injured before the goal and the Sali's sub was meant to fill the hole left by Marchi when the scoreline was still 0-0. It does make sense if the scoreline is 0-0 by that time.

Agreed!

I don't think he has done any thing particularly wrong in this match. We lost because of the unexpected red card, and because we were facing a much better team in their own turf without any fan supporting us. Knowing Sissoko, I don't think anyone can calm him down. The only option is to sub...

Spot on! Hope that we can keep that spirit for the next games. The red card of Sissoko ruined everything. Poulsen had been warming up before Sissoko was sent off, so perhaps Zacc already prepared to sub him out but who could expect Momo to get the second yellow that quick. I know that...

Given the situation and the available resources, I think everyone, except Sissoko and Amauri did the best they can, so I am not very sad. Had Sissoko not started this match, the scoreline would have been different.

The thing that worries me most is that Melo also has a yellow. Who know what would happen in his head in the next half. Let's hope for the best.

We were playing well but Sissoko ruined everything. Ale was one of the best in the first half but I think we had no choice but to sub him off due to Sissoko's red card. In the next half hopefully Diego might be able to get Motta sent off. Once the number of players are level for both sides we...

My bad. Thank you for correcting me my friend +REP.

Had it become "...as long as he doesn't favour INTER..." we would have been sent to series D with -30 points! What a corrupted football system!
