Inter have conceded too many goals, and it is taking its toll. But another Serie A round is just around the corner (8.30 pm)
When a team with championship ambitions concedes six late goals in the nine opening rounds, criticism towards the coach is inevitable.
The Nerazzurri conceded goals in the final stages of the games against Genoa, Monza, Milan, and Juventus, just like against Udinese and Torino. Moreover, it could have ended the same against AS Roma, but luckily for them, Somer was focused and saved the clean sheet.
All that is unacceptable for an experienced side such as Inter.
Therefore, their boss, Simone Inzaghi, has found himself under serious criticism. And amid all that, comes the Serie A game against Empoli on Wednesday night as Inter are with their backs to the wall.
Napoli's triumph over Milan at San Siro last night, pushed the Nerazzurri in a very awkward position - against Empoli and Venezia they can't afford to make any mistake because next week they face Arsenal in the Champions League and Napoli in the Serie A.
According to Italian media, Inzaghi won't make too many changes in the starting lineup compared to the Juventus tie.
Calhanoglou and Accerbi are back, while Lautaro Martinez will be probably given a short break in order to be fit and rested for those Napoli and Arsenal fixtures.
