I am uncertain as to why he continues to be a member of my team, as he is incapable of passing, dribbling, or scoring.Mikel Arteta has finally ordered the sale of ONE Arsenal player who let the entire team down last night. He must be sold by January. Not merino and not havertz
Inter Milan secured a hard-fought victory over Arsenal by capitalizing on a decisive Hakan Calhanoglu penalty, thereby preserving an unblemished record and increasing their lead in the Champions League group stage to 10 points.
In a fraught encounter, Football Italia, which was in attendance at San Siro for this match, provided player evaluations that reflected Inter’s tenacity and adaptability.
Yann Sommer, the goalkeeper, was awarded a 6.5 rating for his resilience in the face of numerous set-piece threats from Arsenal. He made a critical save against Kai Havertz in the final minutes of the game.
Benjamin Pavard’s assertive, no-nonsense defense was equivalent to Sommer’s tally. His unwavering man-marking was instrumental in limiting Arsenal’s forwards, illustrating his improvement in form.
Arsenal was unable to penetrate Stefan de Vrij’s commanding defensive performance, which earned him a score of 7. Yann Aurel Bisseck, who concurrently achieved a 7, demonstrated a combination of determination and composure. His confidence increased as the match progressed, enabling him to deliver another impressive performance against one of England’s most prestigious institutions.
Denzel Dumfries was a 7-rated threat on the right, capable of both offensive and defensive play. His impact was further solidified by his ability to create Inter’s first significant scoring opportunity and to torment Arsenal’s Jurrien Timber throughout the match. He even saved a shot on the goal line.
Davide Frattesi was rated 5 and was experiencing difficulty locating his position in Inter’s formation, particularly during the first half when they were defending for extended periods. In the 62nd minute, Nicolo Barella, who was awarded a six, replaced him, resulting in a slight increase in equilibrium.
Hakan Calhanoglu, who assumed pressing responsibilities and maintained composure to convert the game-winning penalty, was also awarded a 7. Kristjan Asllani (rated 6) replaced him on the field in the 71st minute, and he maintained the midfield’s stability.
Piotr Zielinski, who was awarded a six, primarily concentrated on defensive responsibilities, thereby limiting Matteo Darmian’s offensive influence and providing him with support. His replacement for Henrikh Mkhitaryan (6) provided a burst of vitality, but the game remained largely unchanged.
Matteo Darmian, who was rated six, prioritized the marking of Bukayo Saka, sustaining his concentration while refraining from advancing. Mehdi Taremi demonstrated tactical awareness by disrupting Arsenal’s passing channels and drawing the penalty that Calhanoglu converted during the attack, earning a 6.5.
Nevertheless, Lautaro Martinez encountered difficulty in establishing a space against Arsenal’s defenders, collecting a 5.5 before being replaced by Marcus Thuram (5.5).
Manager Simone Inzaghi received a rating of 6.5 for his strategic decisions. Despite some risk-taking, his defensive strategies were successful, resulting in Inter’s strong position after four games.
