Serie A season 2011/2012

@Bandage

I know he’s had plenty of injury problems but I’m not a fan of Pato. He’s regressed a lot in my opinion.

I made a similar point in the January transfer window thread, Bandage. He’s not the player he was 2 years ago, he’s gone backwards.

Agreed, I was typing out a similar post during the week to Totti when he suggested that one of the big English or Spanish sides should make a move for him if he is available for €30 million but got side tracked at work, he looks to have lost the spark he had a couple of seasons previous and isn’t worth anything near that fee at the present time

[Rudi]

I also recall Abate making a similar error to the one tonight against Inter that allowed Milito to score in the derby two years ago.

Amazing.

[Rudi]

Sneijder replaces Milito. Ranieri is inviting pressure on, he shouldn’t do this.

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

Zlatan has showed some lovely touches tonight, him aside they really have lacked a spark. He has been central to nearly every chance they have created

[Bandage]

Zanetti has been class. What a footballer.

[Rudi]

El Sharaawy for Pato.

[Rudi]

Few very close calls there for Milan, Cesar saving well for the first one.

[Rudi]

That was a class interception from Zanetti.

[Rudi]

Thiago Motta, can’t wait to see this guy kicking ass at Euro 2012. :guns:

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

Big three points for Inter

[Rudi]

@Mr. Totti

Inter are in excellent form. 5 straight wins in Serie A. Beat Parma 5-0 last week, Milito and Pazzini really finding their form as is Maicon, injury problems clearing up - Forlan and Sneijder back tonight. Defensively they have improved as well but still a little dodgy at the back. I see signs of Ranieri repeating what he did at Rome when he took over from Spalletti where he started off slowly but took us from nowhere to very nearly winning the title. I backed Inter for the title at 14/1 last week. A win tonight and they are only 6 points off top spot, they could also possibly sign Tevez this transfer window as well.

Milan have injury problems at the minute as well so I think Inter are fantastic value tonight.

[Rudi]

Inter will win this yet, they have a much stronger squad, Juventus don’t have the attack and Milan don’t have the depth. The blue and black momentum is building and will continue to do so. The title race is wide open now, if the likes of Roma and Napoli can put a run together they are still in with a shout, Juventus and Milan will continue to drop points.

[Bandage]

Ranieiri has never lost a derby match in Italy as a manager - 9 wins and 4 draws.

Inter were well worth that win I thought. Milan lacked ideas when chasing the game. Agreed on the criticism of Pato - he had a great chance early on that he panicked with and did very little positive afterwards. Zanetti was pure class again.
