Inter (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

That was a very good Inter side tonight. They appear to have improved since Istanbul, and they were very decent then. Well organised, hard working, very good passing and quick on the counter, gave us no space. So much better than the 4 teams we’ve played in the Prem

The Italian journo and Inter specialist who was guest on David Mooney's podcast last week pretty much said exactly that. His analysis was spot on.
I'll take the draw. We'll get better.

Strangely, I am ok with that shirt, but not the performance. Although I don't get it we had to have it on in a home game. We just continued where we left last season, another mediocre home performance against a stronger team that can defend and can counterattack. Stems a lot from Pep's obsession with having Haaland in anchored to three square yards and barely moving. I am sick hearing that bullshit how even when not scoring he is dragging people out of their positions. I just saw enough of him in this type of games that I dream of Pep doing false nine and having him on the bench. Our best moments that came in the second half were quick passes on the box line and inside the box.

Did you watch the game pal or just the second half because Erling played well and got himself involved in the first half.

They are one of the top teams in Europe and will be a threat to whoever they play, but we should've won that game.

But for where we are in the season & with players still coming back, a point will do!

BBC football, every Inter player rated 7 or above, every City player apart from Jack 5 or less

Never wear that kit again

Not too bad a performance against a well organised side. I thought we played alright and had some really good chances, shame we couldn't convert a few of them. Really would have liked a win to get us up and running with the new format though.

Very good point against a very good side.

bbc highlights should be about a minute, especially if they cut out all the falling over.

Switched on R5 while getting out of the car park. Thought there might be a report. There was. Some female Scottish BBC apparatchik mentioned that the game was drab (she saw in on a screen! - yer need to turn the brightness up on the remote yer silly moo) and there were some empty seats. How fuckin' predictable. Had to rely on Chris Sutton to add some football nous to explain what the 0-0 meant and how it was arrived at.

They were very good and dangerous in parts.

Also tough to break down. Another day Gundo scores and it's a great win.

There's only one thing to do with Haaland - just count the goals!
