Inter Milan can win Serie A, but there are worrying signs after Roma draw - Bonetti | ESPN FC

Inter Milan fails to hang on to a late lead against Roma, settling for a 2-2 draw that leaves Antonio Conte's side three points adrift of archrival Milan at the top of Serie A. ESPN FC's Matteo Bonetti and Gab Marcotti discuss Conte's comments about the result, what makes Inter different than other big clubs in Europe and whether a lack of European football in the spring truly makes the Nerazzurri the favorites for the Scudetto.

The only reason Milan lost to Juve is because there were too many players out for that game...Milan's consistency is what will carry us through... ForzaMilan

[@michaelshannon5723]

Subbing Hakimi and Martinez was a terrible decision and allowed Roma to pile on the pressure

[@luisfigointer]

Only player that needed subbing was Vidal. Replace Vidal with Sensi and 3 points in the bag. Vidal is so poor he should never start ahead of Sensi or even Eriksen.

[@zoinkmusic]

@@luisfigointer That is so true.

[@Kaythakilla]

Saddening how Roma are not being given credit for their part in the game.

[@slutrepellant]

The media has been against roma all year because friedkin doesn't give them any news an Italian journalist even came out and said it its not some crazy conspiracy. He said if you don't give us news at the first signs of trouble you'll get hammered. Sick of journalists just pandering to the masses..learn how to do your jobs properly its not hard. What's the point of studying journalism if you're just gonna repeat what you're told to say.

[@interovic]

His subs killed us today. It's all on him. All the momentum was with us, then he brings on Perisic (not Alexis), GAGLIA (not Sensi), and takes off Hakimi for Kolarov.

Inter still lack championship mettle. I’ll never understand how a team plays so well, takes the lead and immediately stop playing. In as much as I want Inter to win it I still can’t look pass Juventus

[@Insurvival363]

I will say its AC Milan who will take it this year and I am convinced of that. They may not have the best team on paper, but they have been balanced and consistent. The loss against Juve also proves that they dont lose focus and looking straight ahead with result

[@savastojadinovic5721]

Say that after AC Milan beats Atalanta, who is practically on the same level as Juventus and have been in a really good form. I don't see how AC Milan can possibly defeat them.

[@Insurvival363]

@@savastojadinovic5721 So you are telling me Lazio, Roma, inter and sassuolo are jokes. Atalanta are dangerous yes, but they are no different of the teams i mentoined, in UCL they are dangerous and in Serie A very inconsistent. So its a chance for Milan i think

[@savastojadinovic5721]

@@Insurvival363 They are not, and its true, however I think Juventus, Inter and Atalanta are way above the rest in terms of quality of players. Inter have lost that's true, but they are now under huge pressure since they are out of Champions League, if they don't win Serial's A, it will be a disaster for them. Meanwhile AC Milan should be content that they are even in top 4 and have a good chance to qualify for Champions League next season, something that was a dream for a quiet a while now. So I think either Juventus or Inter will win Serie A this year, Atalanta coming in third spot and AC Milan in 4th spot at the end of the season. The loss against Juventus, even though everyone is making a fuss about how half of their team didn't play ( though in my opinion those players are not that better than those that played against Juventus), is a further proof that they will probably end up barely taking the fourth place. This is my opinion, but all maybe changed, who knows, Serial A this year is very unpredictable.

[@abed-lx5zt]

You really think Milan will gett more points by the end than Inter? Wow

[@Insurvival363]

@@savastojadinovic5721 I agree that Milan's goal this season is CL and it still is, but im talking about the concistensy and balance Milan have which is impressive. We can use Juve in 2012 as an example, it was a team that came out of the blue and won over a strong Milan team. With a couple of good signings in January I think Milan can also challenge for the title. Serie A is very unpredictable this year, but one thing is for sure that no team will let Juve win their 10th scuedetto.

[@jawolamin2171]

I’m not a Juve fan but I believe they will end up winning the title. Inter Milan, always squander their opportunity to Top the league.

[@chintandevgania8722]

I agree the point they do blow away their chancrs to be at the top and this season im not buying into the fact that this is Inter's season to win. As convincing they may look without no European club competition to focus they have no creativity in midfield and are ever so mo reliable on Lukaku for the goals im not convinced that this is a title winning team. I'll place my bet on AC Milan even after the defeat to Juve they do look like they have a spirit about that, there's something special about this team as a whole not just the individual effort. So all in all Inter is not the Serie A title winning team

[@edwilembameg6077]

I am next to amazed. His team is leading by a meagre 1-2 and right there like 15 minutes left into the game he decides to stop pressing upfront; dropping deep behind (Against a Roma Team that's pressing upfront) because Conte wanted to maintain the results. Forgive me for thinking the best defense is attacking. If you want to preserve the results then press harder and make the score 1-3.

[@abed-lx5zt]

And what if you keep pressing and then you leave spaces in behind for Roma's quick forwards?

[@ronnyquatre6305]

Hey seems like u don't understand English... CONTE SAID THAT HE ASKED HIS PLAYERS TO PRESS UP HIGH, HE STATED CLEARLY THAT ROMA PUSHED A LOT UP FIELD AND THIS FORCED THEM HIS PLAYERS TO DEFEND DEEP AND HE WAS STILL INSISTING WITH HIS PLAYER TO PRESS HIGH! This shows clearly that Conte wasn't happy with the deep defending

[@ronnyquatre6305]

@@abed-lx5zt if u press a team high and everyone of ur players commits themselves to marking and cutting down passing lanes, u will have the ball for sure or ur opponent will give u a throw in.. what's good about this style of play , when u get the ball, u usually get the ball in a dangerous position and ur opponent is not ready to defend( they've open up to receive the ball)... But u need all ur players to commit, if one player stays behind or doesn't pay attention to ur pressing , u will fail and will be punished... Pioli likes to press up high, Klopp and Hansi Flick does it too! Arrigo Sachi's Milan played like that and they were considered invisible

He was playing the clock. Roma was pressing more while Inter was dropping deeper. Not surprising Roma's equalizer came after Conte's substitutions @ 86th Minute. It goes to show the coach's substitutions took power out of his engine hence the final results.
