stats from bbc and infostrada: Inter starting 11 aver age today was 31 y and 331 days, the oldest in an UCL game ever
 
^ there was a graphic stat 10-15 minutes before the end of the game which showed that our players ran more kms than Marseille's.

P.S. Looking back, our only chance in the 2nd half was the Deki one (too bad it was on his left), and it was from a set piece.
 
I missed Deano's suggestion about Crapello LOL!

Nacka, I'd take Zac in a heartbeat, heck I'd take Van Der Meyde as a player/manager.
 
yes, horrible movement, and long balls to forlan and zarate doesn't work, lol.

ranieri not starting milito, inter's best striker, and starting zarate instead is mind-boggling. also playing stankovic and obi ahead of poli...what a joke.
:thumbsup: Well summed up.
 
I said this but then Ranieri made a mess in the 2nd half :palm: What the heck was he doing?

Marseille there for the taking and he then goes and subs out A forward for a midfielder who can barely control the ball. Yes Zarate was the one to come off, but it should have been Milito entering the field and I am sure Inter would have scored.

Instead his defensive mindset cost Inter this game and possibly the tie if Inter can't overturn this.
Ranieri did this stupid stuff with Roma too. He had Marseille right where he wanted. It was 0-0 with 30 sec left. Inter defence was owned on the final play..very very unlucky. Had it ended 0-0 next would be Inter's for sure. I still think Inter will go through. He will use Milito next game. I think Forlan played well...
 
Good thing we have Chivu coverting left back, so right back can be left to Naga. :drunk:

So no CL next season eh. First time in 10 years.
 
I'm guessing Zanetti will go to RB and Naga to RB. That'll allow Poli to get more games in the middle.
 
Was that Ranieri's last game in charge?

Regardless, I don't see him surviving beyond the Napoli game

And Juventus away is in a couple of weeks.
 
Terrible game, we're a toothless team when we have to break down an established deep defence. We will cause you more problems in Milan and Remy who is our best player this season was badly missed. (Brandao LOL)

Anyways, sad that you guys have to put with such football but most of you are quite hardened campaigners by now so...

May the best team over two legs go through!
:proud: We've had it far too good these past 7 years.

Remains to be seen what Moratti does at the end of this season, where he has no more excuses or (false) hopes about the quality of the team. He must spend some money on at least 2 quality players and another 2 decent players.
 
Another problem is Ranieri is notorious for not playing youngsters. The man is terrified to put youngsters in important matches. Ranieri is what I hate about Italian managers. Poli should be starting along with Alverez.
This post makes sense :thumbsup:

Judging from Moratti in the last two years, I think I will go with "these are champions and they have enough quality."

I think Branca will have lunch with Cavani in Napoli and come back to Milano with... Pandev.
:D

I wouldn't be too suprised with Džemaili/Aronica type of signing.
 
This Man U side is worse than Basel though

P.S. I checked Ayew's height, he's 176 which is average height. And yet he won 3-4 headers..

He was marked by Nagatomo (155 centimeters and 45 kg or thereabout) most of the time so I'm not surprised.
