Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

That were the words I was going to choose! A match well worth watching!
The finish really was horribly unlucky for the defender shooting against the foot of Mikhitaryan's. Nobody wants to be in his shoes if such a situation happens in the 95th minute of the game! Cheesy

This win improves Inter's situation by a lot for now. Not only for the team in general, but also for Inzaghi. I have never been a fan of Inzaghi as a coach, but I don't really follow him much. This will definitely give him some room to breath and they have a very good chance against Sampdoria (last rank and very, very weak) to even extend the streak. That would cement his position as a manager for a while I guess. With another win to their books they would clearly be in the Champions League range.

Inter Milan had a narrow win in the game against fiorentina and it's really a must watch game. It's full of actions from the both teams and we witnessed goals from the both sides as fiorentina never give up and pull a big competition for inter Milan who were underrating fiorentina but their performance shocked the visitors. Inter milan have a terrible defense and this is one of the major problems the team is currently facing, not just in the Seria A but also the champions league. The coach should make sure he provides solutions to the problem at hand.

That is the exact right analysis. Their defense is the worst out of the first 14 teams along with Bologna (ranked 13th). Their offense in terms of the number of goals is ok, but still not what it used to be last season when they scored tons of goals in the best possible moment.
They have been the biggest winners of the gameday I would say, but I don't think Inter or even Juventus will be competing for the title this year. Biggest loser is Atalanta and contrary to the season two years ago and further backwards, they are also far from being as effective at scoring. They achieved some stunning numbers during those years and frequently served spectators a goal festival. It wasn't the case last season and so far it hasn't been the case this season. Though they did manage to achieve pretty good results.
Once more it is Napoli that convinces so far, but that has been the case before and they didn't make it. It is still a young but interesting season in the Serie A.

This was a match which was very eventful. Both the teams played really well. And both teams showed really good intent of scoring goals. But at the same time, these types of matches make me question the defense of both teams. But anyway, it was really good attacking play from both teams. We all knew that Inter had to win this match. The performance from them this season has not been good enough. And even after this win, they are still not in the top 6 of the table. That is actually not acceptable from a team like Inter.

Inter has scored quite a good amount of goals this season but at the same time, they have also conceded a lot. Scored 22 and conceded 17. That is just simply not enough good defending from them.

I think sometimes there are special circumstances that lead to such crazy dynamics that we see a 7 goal game or something. That happens at times, it is not immediately a general question about defensive quality. But in this case I agree with you. Especially since Italian soccer is known for its game to be based on a very solid defense. In that regard Inter does not deliver this season and this is what is kind of breaking their neck so far. But still, it is not like they are at the bottom of the table. They are now more or less in close touch with the top and that is why this win was actually more valuable then it initially might look. If they lost this one, there is also a moral aspect to that when you watch the top from the bottom and you know that the way up is so stony.
