Hope we can lift ourselves for Inter after being humbled by Chelsea. Obviously they’re a class act and losing to them was no disgrace but the way they made us look so ordinary has made me feel bit nervy about thursday now.
We really need to start getting a bit clinical in the final third. The last Inter game really highlighted how little dominating possession means if you can’t hit the back of the net.
Hopefully we’ll see either J Rod or Long back by then, to give us some different options.
Still going for a win though … 1-0 Saints for me, Tadic to score
A confused picture at Inter Milan this morning, where it is fair to say Frank de Boer’s tenure as manager is hanging by a thread.
I spoke to a couple of people at the club late last night.
One said De Boer’s departure would be announced this morning, another said the Dutchman could cling on for Thursday’s Europa League tie with Southampton, but that if he didn’t win that, he would be out.
It seems the former Ajax coach, who was only appointed in August, is not taking training this morning ahead of a conversation with Inter’s owners, the Suning Group, that could seal his fate.
