Inter managed to come away with a point in their away match at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa. Ivan Perisic scored his first goal for the Nerazzurri when he got the equaliser after Luis Muriel scored his 4th goal against Inter in 8 games when giving the Blucerchiati the lead.
Samir Handanovic – 6: Showed safe hands & made few mistakes. Strong in the air & felt solid & stable in his actions. Lucky when Correa missed absolute sitter.
Davide Santon – 6: Solid performance from the Italy international. Dependable as ever in defense but made good runs when going forward.
Gary Medel – 6: Gave a faultless performance today & made a few crucial tackles & clearances. As always shows great desire & will to win.
Jeison Murillo – 6: Did well in his comeback into the team after injury. Made a mistake which could have cost a goal but was lucky Muriel missed it.
Alex Telles – 6,5: Very good performance by the Brazilian. Pumped the Sampdoria box with dangerous crosses from set pieces as well as open play.
Felipe Melo – 6,5: Mean, strong & a fighter but today he showed there’s more to his game than just the physical aspect: great passing & vision.
Geoffrey Kondogbia – 6: Much better performance from the Frenchman than last week. So strong physically, quick on his feet & great movement throughout.
Fredy Guarin – 5,5: Ran a lot as he always does but failed to make it pay. Poor passing & frustrating to watch. Missed an absolute sitter in the 1st half.
Ivan Perisic – 6,5: Gave an all-round good performance which saw him top it off with a goal. Dangerous crosses & showed character when helping defense.
Rodrigo Palacio – 5: Very poor performance by the Argentinian who looked completely lost on the pitch. Poor timing, movement & looked generally unfit.
Mauro Icardi – 5,5: Didn’t have an easy afternoon on his old stomping ground. Was invisible until the 75th minute until he finally got going.
Jonathan Biabiany – 6: Brought on in the 63rd minute for Kondogbia & looked generally lively. Great pace but less than adequate crossing/passing.
Rei Manaj – 6: Substitued on in the 71st minute for Palacio & gave the team strength they lacked up front. Should have been awarded a penalty.
Adem Ljajic – : Came on in the 87 th minute, didn’t play long enough to be given a rating.
Roberto Mancini – 6: Had difficulties finding an antidote to Sampdoria attacks tactically but made the correct changes which led to Inter dominating.
Inter – 6: Important to bounce back from last weeks hammering with a good performance. Still problems with concentration but good reaction.
Gianluca Rocchi – 4,5: Inconsistent, picky & got more than often many crucial decisions wrong such as the penalty on Manaj or Perisic’s yellow card.
