Yes, people do underestimate Inter's starting XI (which is getting more fatigued by each round, while EL and Coppa haven't even started yet), but they also do overestimate their entire squad. Squads win league tournaments.
I'm not sure how the Giroud signing will improve this either. If you sub out Lautaro for Giroud, or runs, counters, skillfull movement between defenses will completely evaporate. Just another tank to stay up and receive long balls with Lukaku.
We didn't get outplayed in the first game. We should've won it in the first half if Dybala was less selfish. That loss was totally not on Sarri.
The second game was bad, everyone including Sarri are to blame for that one.

Agreed. Would think it's a way to sub out/rotate with Lukaku? Giroud iirc is pretty clutch as a late game sub.
Lautaro, whether overrated or not, is probably the one player that shouldn't be subbed out in any match they need to score late in. Their creativity in attack runs almost entirely through him (Sensi getting back into form will help a bit).
Its pathetic to read for real. Constant irrational conspiracies and deluded tears, all because we genuinely have a our first real competition for the first time in 9 years.
We had similar competition two seasons ago. Napoli were on top of the table after 19 rounds, with 48 pts (2 more than Inter have right now in 19 rounds). People were going just as crazy, or almost as crazy, because this time we're facing a traditional and more hated rival.
I like Atalanta. They are such a crazy team, you could never guess what will happen. I hope they will make CL as interesting and crazy as last year's CL.
