Always been a massive no from me, there’s a reason Inter brought in a 37 year old Dzeko.

I don't watch Serie A, I must have seen this guy 10 times (World cup, UCL), he was absolute shite 9 times and had one good game against Liverpool. I heard a rumor he could be a target for Arsenal, I'm praying that it doesn't happen.

Why didn't he just square the ball when he was through? How the feck did he think he was scoring from that angle?

TBF the only option he had in the box was Lukaku and you couldn’t blame him for ignoring that donkey.

Any other player than him in that box, I’d be raging at him right now for not passing the ball to him.

Yup, he's shite. Not much between this guy and Havertz.

People blaming Inters loss on Lukaku are forgetting the mediocrity of this guy.

This is why people shouldn't take scoring records in Serie A seriously.

He does a lot of good work outside of the box, works hard defensively, surprisingly good at his first touch when taking in long balls and with a defender on his ass... but his in the box play or key attacking moment play is tragic.

A reasonable view of the match, yet, exactly how many clear cut chances he had? only ONE that he created for himself after a mistake from a City defender and Ederson quickly covered ground. Barella and Dumfries had many opportunities to end with a good through ball or a centre and both took ridiculous naps in such situations.

This doesn't take aside that Lautaro IN GENERAL, is a very streaky scorer, that he has a heavy butt, that he doesn't have a second gear and that he is not a pure striker. Yet hardly bar that ocassion, he was as shyte as it's said, in any case he played in a troubled game like Erling, KEv, Bernardo, Grealish and cia that were far from being brilliant nor creating or scoring for fun against a well organized team. Lautaro is a very good player that if he wants to take the next step of being a real CRACK, he must become a more deadly finsisher, he will never have a second gear, yet he must also not go for the foul at times when he already made a good play. He has a lots of stuff going on like the ones you've mentioned that helped Inter since years and specially this year to arrive to this instance and win some silverware.

In fact the standout players of the game were both keepers (Onana is a crazy skilled batshit keeper), Stones was great, Bastoni too and Rodri even struggling, made a formidable goal, he placed the ball a la Messi.

Can't argue with his numbers but it seems like everytime I watch him he misses a bunch of chances.

Seems I disagree with the majority on here. I think he's a quality player - would do well in the prem as well. Durable, hard-working and a good finisher. I'd take him at United.
Pre Haaland I actually think he'd have been a good fit for Man. City. He's similar to Gabriel Jesus, dosen't score enough for the positions he gets in and very much a 1 in 3 (serious chances conversion) but can create space for others etc.

Can see Barca going for him if he stays at Inter another two seasons.

He's Higuain 2.0 can't score for shit when it matters. Useless to have a striker like him.

Him, Lukaku and Weghorst as a front three will be a joy to watch. Fellaini playing as AM
