They are winning the midfield battle,just need to get some shots off in the box.
Champions League Final: FC Internazionale Milano vs 115 Charges FC
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Popped in here amazed the game isn't already done.
Only to read that Lukaku holds Inter's hopes
I know - but for whatever reason, he struck me as the Tevez/Ando types who couldn't care less about learning the local lingo.
Pep will fumble this again.
That ref is very good btw
That ref is very good btw
Starting to think Inter might pull this off
Don't do it to yourself.
115 charges had to result in a treble. Just for the sheer insanity that it's been allowed to happen.
Hah, that game was over after a minute. Liverpool didn't want to do anything after that and Spurs couldn't.
City will probably win it, but fair play to Inter they have put up a lot more fight than we managed
Anderson could speak English.
It's the same thing, gets ball then does that pretend stumble/fall
I don't really care if City win honestly. Super rich club wins CL, big whoop.
The keeper.
They don’t have a mannequin in net.
to be honest city is a great team. they are it because they got billions of oil money and would be nothing if they were not bought by abu dhabi but the players they have, they are good. 0-0 is the best you could have hoped for, but inter wont have enough i think
Inter plays well in the first half. Simone’s tactics in the first half are excellent.
We actually looked pretty good going into the 2nd half, De Gea killed us that game.
Its not about goalscoring, Haaland playing with back towards goal is not all that good is all.
No joke put De Gea there and their whole plan crumbles.
Then again, they barely had the ball outside their own half, thats not due to tactics, they probably can't do much better.
Even United would have beaten them if we were slightly better.
Coaching/tactics, city seem to be struggling with their controlled aggressive pressing and their wing backs in this 352 formation are having positive impact
Inter will win if city doesn't change their tactics/mentality.
City seems can't handle the pressure of being hot fav.

If only Inter could have pulled off the lob from a bad keeper pass they’d be in control here. Didn’t look that difficult either.
Inter have defended really well, but they've barely looked threatening in attack.
They'll probably get 1 chance and they'll have to bury it.
Have to expect City up their game too.

Wenger on Bein is giving me nostalgic feelings of back in the day when SAF and him were around
No joke, but ETh keeps doing it...?
Watching this match made me realised why martial and eriksen must be upgraded if we want to compete with chelsea
Inter will tire well before city I reckon
Just when KDB was starting to come alive, he got injured.. tough luck for him.
Hope Inter wins it on penalties.

He celebrated infrint of our players one time and Rio took exception
Cmon Inter just one lucky punch could be enough
Have to hope it doesn’t fall to good ol’ Romelu
I doubt Inter will be able contain them in the second half but fair play to Simone
Lot of replies so far. I will try and sum up -
- Keeper being comfortable on the ball - enough said.
- Team more in sync and adept to manager's tactics - Greater than sum of parts
- Midfield battle - City aren't as dominant in midfield as they were against us. This is where having more energy and legs would have massively helped us. Eriksen couldn't compete physically.
He had no other options.
Longer the game continues at 0-0, the more nervous City will get. Inter need to hold on for the next 20mins.
Don't think we did too badly, just threw it away with two mistakes. I sense that Inter's strategy is similar to ours with Garnacho...it's the sub(s) that might be key to this for Inter as it was for us.
He should have picked Crystal Palace's third choice goalkeeper instead.
