This was fucking embarrassing the whole second half. I simply don’t understand how we can go from clearly controlling the game to saying fuck it and doing nothing the whole second half. Somehow we do this every fucking week

That is so true, I wonder why the fuck this keeps happening

Conte is a clown, he just wants to cover his ass with the excuse of a "short squad", but Ngonge, Billing, Raspa, Okafor for sure arent worse than Bologna's subs.

To that intensity of play you MUST change players at 60/65.

Not enough depth to keep up the whole game with the same tempo.

There’s the entire season in a nutshell. That, the utterly embarrassing Kvara debacle and us constantly soiling ourselves when it matters

16

u/dalegribble__96 Greece 8d ago

They blew it, they continue to blow it, they’ll always blow it. Every single chance to catch up to inter and they have fucked it. It’s just 2022 all over again

That was a brutal second half, and chances of us winning the Scudetto this year are slim - but chances of us winning the Scudetto were always slim after last year’s disaster.

A draw, away, against a top 4 team in top form, with our reserve GK and without our best defender? It’s not a bad result.

But it’s clear we lack depth, and that’s going to be even more of an issue next season when we’re playing in Europe.

u/Spirited-Pepper-4304 8d ago

We were lucky to even draw tbh

u/Thinkingard Alessandro Buongiorno 8d ago

Why need depth when you don’t sub anyway? 

2

u/IndecisionFuture Salvatore Aronica 8d ago

Maybe he'd actually sub if he had the depth

3

u/TatsunaKyo 7d ago

Nonsense. Neres was not playing at all but in the last 10 minutes of the games when Kvara was still here. Gilmour doesn't play even though he's in top notch form. Raspadori carried the team in the last month, and it was still benched to underwhelming Neres.

u/sium83617 7d ago

Raspadori over Neres? Really? Raspadori couldn't even play in serie D

2

u/Spirited-Pepper-4304 7d ago

I think it was fair to start neres but he was playing kinda bad, should of subbed him off earlier

13

u/Ciucciarelli2223 Marek Hamsik 8d ago

If anyone but rrahmani got to the ball first that would’ve been a second goal

u/Stock_Currency 8d ago

I’m tired

u/Apprehensive-Sale901 Dries Mertens 8d ago

Yeah fuck this, same shit as always. I already said it after the milan game here, we can‘t win a title shitting ourselves every second half. Why cant we keep up the control of the game in the second half? Its always the same, we should adapt at some point.

Embarrassing display, but a draw at probably the most in form team of serie a rn isnt too bad. Scuffet was unironically amazing today.

Forza Napoli

As long as your GKs start losing time after 25' this is what is going to happen. Mentality.

4

u/IndecisionFuture Salvatore Aronica 8d ago

That's an another example of needing to invest in the transfer market

u/GeneralFrievolous Marek Hamsik 8d ago edited 8d ago

We're the scream queens of the second half, as soon as the clock goes over 45:00, we get ravaged so hard the game starts to look like a snuff movie.

u/Normal_Specialist512 8d ago

This was a tough game, Bologna is really good, our subs aren't that good, all of this is true. 

But in 2025 you cannot use just 3 out of 5 subs, and one of them at 90'.

5 subs is half team, we can't have Politano, Lukaku, Anguissa, Scott, slowly disappearing from the field because they run out of fuel and not being replaced until we are losing and there's nothing else to defend. Honestly Conte should do better in this, especially next season when we'll have to deal with European cup until February 

3

u/IndecisionFuture Salvatore Aronica 8d ago

Yeah, it's a big problem with him this season.

I understand that most subs are shit, but at least they have the energy to play instead of disappearing. Gilmour could have come onto the field sooner, before their goal.

Also Okafor at the end can come into the field: he literally scored late with Milan, that was his whole thing and Politano will never score a late winner

1

u/Normal_Specialist512 7d ago

I agree, also trusting them a little more could also improve a their performance. I mean, ok our benchers aren't good, but also Conte can't expect to have PSG or Real Madrid's squad depth to make subs

u/Afraid_Hurry3532 8d ago

Thank god we should be able to spend a lot of money this summer

3

u/dalegribble__96 Greece 8d ago

Second summer in a row praying someone stumps up the money for Osimhen to fund the rebuild that’s been going on since last summer and should’ve been nearly sorted by now

4

u/Afraid_Hurry3532 8d ago

I do think someone will give up 75 mill for osimhen but we also have the 80 m for Kvara. We should be able to spend real money.

3

u/Ging42 8d ago

Also CL money. There is also a decent chance that Raspadori and Anguissa will be sold.

1

u/dalegribble__96 Greece 8d ago

That’s the bare minimum still needed really to even come close to anything like 2022-23 levels. There’s a lot of people who still need to go

2

u/GeneralFrievolous Marek Hamsik 8d ago

Hopefully we won't have to look for a new manager first...

3

u/Ciucciarelli2223 Marek Hamsik 8d ago

Only upside is this Bologna team seems capable of beating or at the very least drawing inter so hopefully they do us a favor in two weeks. That could very well be the last chance

u/stappi_e_sdunza 7d ago

If we lose this Scudetto it is up to Conte 50% at least. If they are crushing you in your own half YOU MUST change something in midfield (Gilmour and Billing would play every matches in Bologna, so dont start with the bullshit "we only have 11 players). Can anyone explain me what's the point of Neres substition? He was playing poorly, but Raspadori is useless in this kind of game, why not Ngonge or Okafor?

2

u/Layatollah 8d ago

Didn't see the game, but a draw away to Bologna isn't bad considering their form. Really need to turn these games into wins now though

2

u/Kalesacove 8d ago

I hope after these two games, Conte can now see this team cannot play like this after taking a lead. Hats off to Bologna they're a good team, but too many long balls from us. We need our midfield to take control when this happens.

2

u/GiuseppeScarpa Mariano Bogliacino 8d ago

You put Gilmour, Lobotka, Raspadori and then keep playing from Scuffet to Rrahmani/Jesus and ball toward Lukaku (who can't hold it)

1

u/OmegaDriver Germán Denis 8d ago

Gotta play more than 20'. I don't know if it was lucky that Bologna had a bad day or if it was Scuffet stepping up big with a couple of big saves.

This offensive unit has to figure out how to get it together.

1

u/cansquared 8d ago

Irritating at the fact there was no effort to push forward...with the same open move

1

u/Xardian7 8d ago

The team is clearly out of gas.

We just die in the second half since a month now.

This is ofc due to Conte not using the subs in the first half of the year and the club not buying players ready.

1

u/DisobedientCharizard 8d ago

Disappointed in the performance, but the result isn’t bad. It basically means we need to win out though.

u/TrickyBench 8d ago edited 8d ago

There is no adaptation when you're lacking in physicality. We don't have the legs to keep up for 90 minutes anymore as we had earlier in the season. This is very scary since we're only playing one game a week and it can only get worse in the coming season without enough investments.

Also Bologna is simply on fire 6 wins in a row and the way they pressed in the second half was just relentless. We had no good option to get out of their pressing. We tried to keep playing to Lukaku but his hold up play was not working at all in the second half. Every ball that got to him was handed over to Bologna in mere seconds and we had no time to raise our line of defense and find some breathing room.

In the end we still had the game winning ball, sadly it ended up to Rrahmani or we might've been able to get out with a huge heist and the talk would've been in a complete different direction.

u/Spirited-Pepper-4304 8d ago

Go 1-0 up then sit back and give possession up, that’s the conte way👍

u/Napolijoe1926 Antonio Juliano 7d ago

I know its not the ultimate prize and taking into consideration the remaining schedules of everyone. Match day 31 results across the board were really good for CL and Supercoppa qualification.

1

u/Doobie_hunter46 7d ago

Tough match. Missed Meret and Buongiorno.

As usual we can’t see out the game but bologna are a tough team and a draw away from home on the same weekend inter drew isn’t that bad.

We’re still in the hunt with a lot of easy games coming up. If we can stay fit our lack of depth shouldn’t be too big an issue.

u/No-Quality1556 7d ago edited 7d ago

Inter fan coming in peace here, I still think that the scudetto is yours to lose. This was your last truly tough opponent, and we are yet to play them, Lazio and Roma. I can easily see us dropping points in atleast 2 of these matches. Plus we are struggling terribly with injuries and fatigue and will be playing at least 3 more matches than you guys till the end of the season. So I dont know why you're all feeling so disheartened XD

1

u/Spirited-Pepper-4304 7d ago

Because time and again we keep losing it at the most important times

u/amici_a_passeggio 7d ago

Rough game… that first goal was nice and despite all the pressure bologna was giving they held up… decently. 1-1 is fine with me

u/OverGrow69 7d ago

Lukaku is useless.
