Tough luck, I guess. Disappointing, but fair result.
Sure, our starting formation was questionable & we really just went to Milan to secure a 0-0, but we weren't all that bad if you ask me. We actually looked like a real time for a while.
The red card was extremely harsh imo, but it changed the game in Inter's favour obviously. I'm not gonna blame the referee though, since Melo should have seen a straight red early on in the game. Intentional foul or not: clear red card.
What is with Melo anyway? I have just about run out of patience with this guy. At times I find myself asking if he even gives a damn about what he's doing.
If anyone wants to torture himself by rewatching the game, pay attention to 2 moments:
- Minute 26: Sissoko fucks up his ball control, Inter start a fast & dangerous counter, Sissoko sprints back & manages to block a potentially dangerous shot.
- Minute 28: Yet another bad (short) pass from Melo, Inter start a fast & dangerous counter, Sissoko sprints back (obviously coming too late) while Melo does not, thankfully nothing comes of it because our defense takes care of it.
I have seen this happening time & time again, and frankly, it's disgusting.
Buffon 6,5 - Some necessary & decent saves, albeit nothing out of the ordinary.
Zebina 5 - A few brainfarts.
Cannavaro 7,5 - Impressive game.
Chiellini 7 - Very good, but a bit risky at times.
Grosso 6 - Surprisingly decent for the most part.
Sissoko 5,5 - Harsh sending off, but he really should be more careful after being booked. A lot of fuck ups as well, but at least he tries to make up for them, unlike his partner in midfield.
Melo 5,5 - Really bad first half. Credit where it's due though: big improvement in the 2nd.
Marchisio 6 - Again our best mid, even if he wasn't all that great.
Diego 5,5 - A lot of hard work & a lot of piss poor decision making, as usual. Why did he play 90 min?
Del Piero 6 - Decent. Our most dangerous player over the course of the entire 90 min. Which is saying a lot, considering he was subbed out in the 1st half.
Iaquinta 4 - Mister fuorigioco.
Poulsen 6 - Please tell me why he's not a sure starter in this team. Anyone? A more complete player than both Melo & Sissoko.
