bluenine wrote:To be fair, Solari and Burdisso only came in the last 15 minutes at 3-1, the game already won. Mancio has faced with large amount of injury/suspensions this season, and IMO he has coped remarkably. We started with a midfield of:
Figo-Cambiasso-Zanetti-Cesar

Which came as a shock to me, coz it was too fluid and lightweight to cope with genoa's muscle packed midfield. But looks like Mancio got it right, the contrast worked in our favour and the fluidity of our game was too much for Genoa to cope with.

Mancio is not afraid to experiment, and thats always a good trait to have in your manager when you have decent squad options.

But the best news for us yesterday is teh return to form of David Suazo!! Now Adriano has a real threat of not getting enough playing time, if he didn't have an uphill task already!! Tho I do hope we use Adriano more in the smaller games, he is looking better and better this season.

As you say Suazo is picking up his form. Don't know why Cruz took the pen and not him.
It's amazing how many good forwards Inter have. I don't now how many teams have as much quality upfront as Inter.

Unbelievable the missed goal by Crespo.

bluenine wrote:1. Forwards - yeah, Suazo was a luxury buy, we didn't really need him. But then, the kind of injury crisis the rest of the squad is facing, if it happens to the forward line, we will need all of them.... But Adriano probably understand this more than anyone else, he is finding form, but still gets left out in the stands for a 3rd game in a row since he scored!!

2. Crespo: It is unbelievable that so many Inter fans are talking about Crespo being in $h!t form and should be dropped... ok, he did miss a sitter or two, but come on!! He has still scored 2 goals in last 4 games, and people are talking crisis here!! I am glad Mancio is not listening to any of that $h!t, coz Crespo is still the best goalscorer in our squad... He has to play the derby, along with Ibra.

Canna admits Milan dream
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Real Madrid defender Fabio Cannavaro is being linked with a sensational return to the peninsula after hinting at a move to Milan. The World Cup winning captain has never fully settled in La Liga since his move from Juventus in the summer of 2006, despite making 40 appearances for the Merengues. With Milan looking frail at the back, there has been regular speculation that the Rossoneri may look for reinforcements and Cannavaro may well be tempted.

“Carlo Ancelotti is an excellent Coach – he really is the best,” the ex-Parma man told journalists. “I would form a great pair with Alessandro Nesta and I have the utmost respect for Kaka who I think deserves to be my successor for the Ballon d’Or.” Real boss Bernd Schuster has indicated that Cannavaro is dispensable and there is a chance that there may be discussions over a January transfer. The only obvious problem in turning to Canna is that the 34-year-old would be cup-tied for the Diavolo’s European campaign.
