“Unfortunately we lost after 49 games, but Inter took their chances and we didn’t. The fact it was against Inter won’t leave any scars, as we played well and had several opportunities to double our lead in the first half,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“We struggled a little from the penalty onwards, but remain proud of these players who were unbeaten in 49 and it’s just a pity about this game. We must look forward. We have to thank our fans for applauding right to the end and I’m sure there will be no psychological blowback.
“We have always played the same way and had three chances to score in the opening 10 minutes with Claudio Marchisio and Arturo Vidal. I only recall Antonio Cassano’s shot wide in the first half.
“We did not underestimate Inter. We were ready for them to play with a trident or a 3-5-2. We were prepared and did not make the most of our opportunities, then ran into difficulties after the break.
“Inter did not create much in the first half. Clearly if one of Marchisio’s chances had gone in then we’d be talking about a different match.
“Inter will certainly be in the Scudetto race to the end. We accept this defeat, but will certainly not make a drama out of it.”
“Playing every three days it’s not easy to maintain that intensity. We have to take our chances or will be made to pay against an excellent side like Inter.
“We misplaced too many passes and the interceptions saw them cause problems for us on the counter-attack.
“Clearly the forwards were too hasty in the first half when able to combine. Regardless of that, the team took the initiative and failed to score a second goal, so Inter eventually emerged.”
“We are already looking forward to a very important Champions League game. We want to keep going and absolutely must win. Vucinic got a knock to his calf and the muscle hardened, so he had to go off. We’ll see what his condition istomorrow.”

Perhaps we should start playing players in their positions, and giving Marrone and Asamoah a chance to deputize in midfield for the very tired looking MVP. I'd like to think that had Pogba been subbed on last nite (which would've been possible had Lichsteiner not acted like a lunatic and forced us to make an early sub) we wouldn't have lost the game.
Like i said, too hasty. Vucinic/Gio would have 2-3 available players to pass the ball to, yet for some reason which is beyond my comprehension they decide to make some dare-devil pass to one of our players which is surrounded by 2-3 opossition players. Alessio is right about everything, though. However, if he and Conte are able to recognise the problems why dont they solve them?? WHy dont they do a "Mourinho" on our players and fucking bench all the out-of-form players? Bench Vidal, bench Vucinic, bench Gio even fucking bench Pirlo if need be. I was completely surprised how well we played against Catania in mid-week. There was the intesity that Alessio is talking about in this interview. But the intensity was there because he played fully fit, fully rested players....... The line-up against Nordsladljafl;dsfkjnd will resolve many questions for me, and help me see what to expect out of this season.
