Solid half - nothing to get overly excited about but solid
One criticism of our forwards would be they don't pressure the inter defence at all when inter has the ball - they stand around - that's one thing iaq is good for
I actually think he was very important for us. Drags defenders on him all the time and still wins so many balls. He opens up lots of space for Matri, Krasic and our left wing players.
Very tactical game. Tensed and tactical 1st half is the only way I can describe this half. Buffon and the Telephone head didn't have any real work in the first half.
Krasic looks very predictable, he should make it a bit hard for Javier.
Toni-Matri looking solid but I would still introduce Ale in the 2nd half for Toni and create more creativity.
I did that once, shouting at a football match. It took a week before my voice came back!
I'm in the forum at last!
Great goal by Alessandro Matri! Pazzini is a right moaning minnie! Zanetti has a death wish! If he commits another filthy foul like the one on Milos, I'll grant that wish!

If Krasic had a brain and not just legs and Aquillani had balls and not just, you know what , this game would have been over by now.

What's good for us is that Inter is looking bad. That's part Inter, but that's also part us. The midfield is still squandering passing opportunities (Aqua ). But Inter has to get off their asses and work for it. We're not rolling over in midfield.
I like Toni's play thus far. He's maybe a little too close to an Amauri role for my tastes in this one, but he's getting mileage out of his height and body frame where possible.
