Wow that was nerve wrecking. We have the occasional screw-ups but we did enough to win. On their first goal, I think we can all blame Julio Cesar on that one. The ball was just a few inches away to his left and he couldn't save it. But there was one time that he saved a sure goal from the same player, Dzagoev so I guess it's even. On their second goal, I don't know what was going through Lucio's head but he just let Love went by him without doing anything to stop him.
Anyway, enough with the negatives, what about that goal by Zarate huh?. Chested the ball down and just blasted to the corner with the left foot. Not only that, he also created so much havoc in their defense when he came on. Nagatomo also did good. Totally owned their left back on Pazzini's goal. Should have had a fourth goal because Chivu was not in an offside position.
Great win by the boys and this could only help psychologically. Grande Inter.

I agree Alvarez was good, he also help the defence a lot. and don't forget it was his first start of the season.
I think the weakness is (capitano + chuchu both destroyers) playing together, when we attack! 2 are getting very similar, we need a decent passer someone who's got a bit of a pace with a good eye on the ball and on the whole pitch to support the playmaker.
I think that Cuchu & Capitano are doing excactly the job they are asked to; you can rember in Gasp era none of them were as vesible as they are now or used to be bcoz Gasp didnt use them in a proper place and I like when Jz4 for run forward (if I was a coach I would use more on attacking and give him less responbilty to defence)
Napoli on Saturday will be a tough match for sure. Let's hope Ranieri doesn't stack the defense. I really want to see Inter win this match and not a 0-0 with 7 men back for 90 minutes.

milito/pazzini up front is working well for us, they are more compatibly than many have predicted. I'd like to see a 3 man attack of milto-pazzini-forlan with sneijder behind them though. Similiar to the eto'o-milito-pandev we used to run under mourinho. I think that's our best forward line.
cambiasso and zanetti did well in midfield dfensively but I'm disappointed in them offensively. after we went up 2-0 they did not show for the ball often in midfield in our build up attacks and our offence broke down too much (cambiasso would sit back as a center back, zanetti would be on the wing).
also i was really happy with chivu's performance today. very solid
overall good game, let the good times roll..

These two wins against Bologna and now CSKA must do wonders to our mentality and morale.
You are absolutely correct Sac.. Now we wait for the injured to come back.
Also, I'm very disappointed with Alvarez. I really hope he'll be better in the future.
yaaaaaaaaaaa FORZAAAAA INTERRRRRRR,
zarate extraordinario.
alvarez... very decent job
obi good work rate (got outrun by that ANOYING GUY a few times but still very good)
lucio... always good except their 2nd goal and thanks for the goal
nagatomo new semi maicon !?
pazzo great but stop complaining for every ball that u don't receive from midfield dude... lol
and finally Ranieri.... position based with less possession... haha mourinho much
BUT HE DID A SUPER SAVE THOU
And JC once again conceded a bizzare goal. I dunno what's happened to the dude.
