Unlike yours truly, Inter boss Jose Mourinho does not seem too fazed about Inter’s sudden lack of form. Inter have drawn four in their last five outings, but the Special One is not worried:
“There are draws and draws,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper. “The ones that are to blame on others and the ones that happen because of us. I prefer the last one (against Genoa), a fair game during which my team played well and would have deserved to win. Is my absence important? But I don’t play, I don’t score goals and don’t parry. If the team play well, with the right spirit, there is no need to have the coach on the bench to win.”
What about you? Are you worried about Inter’s sudden lack of form, especially with the second leg against Chelsea only a week away?

I’m worried. I wonder what’s the problem with Eto’o.We haven’t seen th big Eto’o yet.He just won the African footballer of the year trophy today because of the great season he had with Barca last year.This year..hmmm he’s nowhere.WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? WE WANT ANSWERS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you noticed the number of balls he is getting in Inter compared to what he was getting in Barcelona. In Barca, he would trya shot on goal 3 to 4 times and certainly scores a goal on the 5th one. He is not getting this number of chances in Inter becuase of the defensive style of play his new team follows. Even then, he always put the balls he gets to good use with his brilliant passes to his team mates. If have you observed the day they played Chelsea, he was the one who called everybody to come foreward for a throw in and they scored the 2nd and decisive goal. He is a great competitior and I am sure Murinho is happy with him.
No, I am not worried. All Inter needs is to beat Chelsea in London. We will be fine. Unless we lose to Chelsea, then I will be worried.
The form itself is ok. Inter plays solid in general, smart in defense. Offensively we saw some struggles, but that happens. Especially when you have only one true striker – Milito.
Balotelli plays everywhere else on the field than actual striker position, Pandev is also playing deep, Eto’O is not in best form, and we have nobody else.
So if Milito doesn’t score, Inter doesn;t have as much offensive power as people might think.
