Bastoni is growing to become a real pillar for inter. Barella had a great game too. Inter showing why they are faves

Brozovic covered 13.46km against Juve.
In 90 mins.
Insane.


Of course, he's never injured. And even when he tested positive for COVID it turned out to be a false positive, or just a veery quick recovery.

Yep, Dybala and Chiesa are the two that destroyed us - and without Dybala to set up the goals maybe we would've had a chance even with us missing half our squad. Sad to see us lose but given the circumstances it happens. With a fuller squad we win that every time.

Also, on the flip-side I think an Inter win isn't so bad as long as we win today. It keeps distance from the other sides - Juve, Napoli, Roma, Atalanta, Lazio - who are all further behind and 3 of them dropped points. Inter are bound to slip up in some game again, they always manage it against midtable teams. We just need to not do the same.

Their optimism is misplaced, when you factor in their perennial chocker status.

Juve with their noob coach in Pirlo, have a better chance to still win it solely due to squad depth, and actually having a winners mentality.

In contrast to Inter who have better squad depth on paper, we actually have a winners mentality, and that may just be enough to pull it trough in the end.

A draw yesterday would be a perfect result for us.

But it's always nice to see Pirlo destroyed.
Juve looked lost in defense and clueless in attack.

Seeing how Inter steam rolled them, we were probably too cautious.
Still have chance for Scudetto if Ibra comes back and is on form.

Stuff like that makes me laugh, i'm not bothered. They did the same with Roma, Napoli & Juve at several moments in this season. The one month they are scudetto contenders, the other month they do not have a chance at all. Imo we have been the most consistent team of the whole league since March and we barely had a game where we could field our best 11.

I'd love to see Merda play without Lukaku, Lautaro, Brozovic, Barella and one or two more See if they can manage to do the same we do
