Inter V Roma.. Great Expectations?

The feeling before this game was, you will at least see a flurry of goals, with both defenses showing weaknesses that wasn't such a bas prediction to make. But the game ended goalless and both teams getting there first point, maybe not the way Inter had intended- but a point is a point, and boy, did Gasperini need it as his head is on the chopping block!
The first 10 minutes were rather stop/start but then in the 15 minute as Roma had started to find a rhythm Lucio " accidentally" kicked the Roma keeper in the head and Roma were forced to make an early substitution. It seemed like an accident but Lucio's reaction was that of a petulant child, and that epitomises Inter, they may be full of great players but they're such babies, you just want to hit them!
Fabio Borini was a bright spark in the first half, he showed his eagerness by his tireless runs and shots on goal and was popping up everywhere- at only 20 he's one for the future. Both teams seemed a little " out of sorts", with miss placed passes and many opportunities were created by silly mistakes by the opposition, this game showed a lack of real identity by both coaches, what has to be kept in perspective is that they are both new to this kind of managing, Luis Enrique come from the Spanish League while Gasperini was coach of Genoa- not exactly the same as Inter Milan.
The second half saw Roma more aggressive and focus with a shot on goal from the start but they lack the skill and finesse to finish it, so it ended all square at the San Siro, it is only the second League game, so don't push the panic button yet, there's still hope!
