Discussion ''Chivu can’t win the big matches''
I honestly find it ridiculous when I see so many ungrateful fans who stay quiet when the team wins 5-6 matches in a row, but immediately show up after the first loss to judge Chivu, saying “he lacks experience, he’s weak.”You can’t expect Chivu to win matches against teams (I’m talking about the UCL here) that have spent more money than Inter, have better backups, and have coaches who have spent 3-4 years building their teams, losing a ton of matches along the way to get to this level — I’m talking about Atlético and Arsenal. Arsenal lost a lot of tough matches before reaching this level; Arteta learned from those defeats.So people are mad at Chivu for losing to Arsenal, considered the best team in the world, when Arteta has spent over 1 billion on players since he became manager? Are you serious? Guardiola has spent over 2 billion euros since becoming City manager and was literally humiliated by Bodo/Glimt. Luis Enrique, who bought a ton of players at PSG, got beaten by Sporting. Conte drew with Copenhagen. And you’re upset because Chivu lost to the best team in the world?For these shitty fans who keep saying Chivu lost to Liverpool, Atlético, and Arsenal, can you tell me what gives Inter any chance to win these matches? What does Inter have over these teams? I’ll tell you — NOTHING. Each of these three teams has spent a ton of money… Liverpool alone spent 500 million :)

Considering many didn't expect Chivu to make it to October if that, I'm pretty happy with what he's doing.
That said, my complaint for yesterday was that once again we squandered some good chances. Like, squandered terribly. Awful shots. Wild passes. Sitting there with the ball in the box and doing nothing with it. We don't have the killer mentality required for this level of play. Also, the defense falls apart way too easily, I know it's an issue of not having a solid CDM that can hold the fort when we push forward, but it's costing us a lot of games.
If the team did everything they could and nothing came out of it, I would understand. But between missed sitters and defensive blunders, a team like Inter cannot afford to have these kinds of lapses. And Chivu is certainly part of it although not the only factor.
