i think genoa is for real...milito is on fire...and the best player of the world, as bobby claims...they and napoli are dangerous teams...it will be a tough game...

FORZA INTER!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Firdaus]

Genoa is tough, man. We should really approach this game with caution.

 

[Nerazzurri4life]

..Then we have Viola away in midweek. Tough fixtures ahead of us.

We have to rest JZ and Cambiasso somewhere between the line, probably JZ (against Genoa) as we can use Chivu in his spot.

Hopefully... :nervous:

But every time there seems to be an opportunity to rest JZ we get some injuries and he has to step in and fill the open spot. :groan:

 

[Nerazzurri4life]

Yeah, let's hope Max gets back. It's been a while. Vieira, meh..

Thankfully we don't have a defenders injury crisis like the one we had at the start of the season, even if Cambiasso did us proud there when called upon.

Still on the injury front - there's absolutely no room for either Jimegol or Figo once they recover. Hell I even forgot they're on the roster. Balotelli AND Adriano on the bench ffs..insane stuff right there.

P.S. Kaka and Messi were both rested today btw, just shows you that JZ, Cambiasso and Maicon are studs. roud:

[MANTA]

Must get 3 point, its that simple.

 

[Don Moratti]

Ibra has played many minutes too, he deserves a good rest if inter are up at end of 1st half

Muntari, Stankovic, JZ?

I hope Balotelli FINALLY gets some playing time,,, it would be weird if Obinna got time over Balotelli again

Channel 4 lists Cruz as a starter, wonder if that is to rest Adriano for Fiorentina?

 

[A10]

Based on Form and availability, I like it to be this way.

JCesar
Maicon - Cordoba - Chivu - Burdisso
JZanetti - Stankovic - Muntari
Obinna* - Ibrahimovic - Adriano​

* Either Obinna or Balotelli gets a run.

Fair to them, as both Amantino and Quaresma are not doing that well atm. But I guess, Mourinho would play one winger. No changing of CB pairing.

 

[Sheva_Rules]

Today's Gazzetta says:

Quaresma Zlatan Balotelli

 

[red]

hmmm if Quaresma does play then there is a bad hierarchy coming into the squad under Jose

like the way Stankovic ALWAYS played under Mancio no matter how terrible he was, even if Jimenez was playing far better

despite Quaresma's desperate form he's still keeping Balotelli out of the side

that said Ibra-Balotelli-Adriano looked very unbalanced against Werder - maybe it's worth one last try though

and

the problem with playing Mancini is a) he can't cross and b) can't take set pieces

why oh why doesn't Stankovic take the indirect FK's like under Mancio??


Should be a tough game but I expect us to have chances - depends on whether we take them or not

1 goal win

God damn it! :wallbang: :groan:

Any word on Cambiasso's injury? I'm guessing a muscle strain, expected rehabilitation time 5 months...

 

[Bandiera]

Genoa is tough, man. We should really approach this game with caution.

No doubt about it they're a tricky visitor and can cause some real headache's,but still I'd certainly expect Inter to claim three point's in this one.

 

[Nerazzurri4life]

I've just heard Javier Zanetti say this on Inter channel: "We (referreing to South Americans) sleep more on planes than in our homes"

:stress:

 

[pun]

Balotelli will start this match.

 

[Nerazzurri4life]

fingers crossed.
