He hasn't declined as a player at all - Just has issues with the manager and has been looking to move on for a while.
You're welcome and you're welcome for last night as well. I didn't post anything but i thought it and that still counts right?
yes of course it counts, please keep focused mate =)You're welcome and you're welcome for last night as well. I didn't post anything but i thought it and that still counts right?
I still don’t understand how that could be offside.
With great power comes great responsibility. Although don't annoy me as you might find Inter midtable by the end of the season.
I mean Ronaldo himself had declined pretty badly in his last season at a Juve, it was only in his first 2 seasons that he was similar to the Real Madrid version. Then he was badly overplayed because they lost every time he didn't play and his touch dissapeared. That said though they are pretty crap this season with some very poor results. The current too 4 are all as good so it's going to be a fight for top 4. Fiorentina with Vlahovic aren't bad either and then there's Sassoulo who get points from every big team they come across.
I remember they had the Japanese striker.. forgot his name but he had potential but never lived up to it
Don't know who you're on about so had a look up, is it Morimoto? If it is he left in 2012 which is before i started watching Serie A which would explain it. He last played in Paraguay earlier this year which falls in line with these types of players having weird careers after failing to meet potential.
Yup, Pato likened him to R9
It's not a weird lineup, they don't have other players available
Granted the only weird one was playing kessie at 10 when Maldini could have played, although he did score twice. But he does have a fetish for fitting his favorites in the team even if out of position. The comment i made was after i saw a rumor earlier where Krunic was going to play on the left instead of Saelemakers as well as Kessie at 10.It's not a weird lineup, they don't have other players available
Do you know how they're playing him? I saw Dumfries being referred to as a midfielder somewhere today, and the Inter line-up I saw was a 3-5-2 with Dumfries on the right of the 5. That could be the same as a wingback, but it could also be more like a winger. Any idea?
Depends on the game, he's technically supposed to cover the entire flank both ways, but with inter being dominant and attacking a lot most of the time, he's more often a winger than anything. Inzaghi hasn't really changed the way the wingbacks play from Conte tactically, though they cut in a bit less on the far post as inter don't build up and attack as much through the wings
No idea, but I'd guess as a wing back in a 5-3-2?
Inter lines up as a proper 352 - defensive line is 5 men, but in possession outer CBs scale up as fullbacks and wingbacks act as wingers (Dumfries especially, very advanced hugging the line and cutting inside diagonally, Perisic running more straight for depth to make room for Bastoni in the half spaces)
Not one of my most erudite contributions to the football forum I'll admit.
I know couple of others have already addressed this, but yeah he plays as wingback and he is very aggressive. Even in 4 at the back system, he used to break offside traps for Netherlands isn't it, in wingback system that works so well. Yesterday he was caught offside, making run like wide forward and he ended up moving to Left wing forward position.
Quite interesting reading about him, made his debut in the J-League at 15 and scored his first goal not long after. Moved to Catania but did his cruciate which probably hindered him quite a bit.Yup, Pato likened him to R9
Looks like he turned into a journeyman striker. Not many games for Japan either
Thanks!
Inter-Lazio
First six weeks in 2022 are hard to play for all the top teams. Milan schedules is quite similar.

Basically Inzaghi continued Conte's work in terms of tactics and plays a 352 formation, but made some adjustments, the club made good business in replacing Lukaku (Dzeko & Correa), Eriksen (Calhanoglu) and Hakimi (Dumfries).
Inzaghi played 3-5-2 or 3 at the back at Lazio, so it was good fit.
Yeah this isn't good. Kudos to Acerbi though, feck those racist neo-nazi vermin
No
Doubt. All the strong italian teams are far for Liverpool/M.City level and one of their best player Barella will most likely miss both games (due to straight red card vs Real Madrid). His backup player is Arturo Vidal who look finished at the top level.

It’s obviously his fault. He was top scorer for the whole 2021 year at Juve yet left in August. Juve where declining already and giving the likes of Ramsay 30000€ a week symbols that. But let’s blame Ronaldo
