Inter defeat to Fiorentina reinforces the need for a more expansive system

Inter had little to be happy about after being thumped 4-1 at the hands of Fiorentina.

The message from the Curva Nord simply added to the expectation that continues to build in San Siro. The banner announced that every Sunday they would be with Inter continually.

The feeling in Milan is born out of their current excellent run of form. Five wins in a row saw them sit on top of the Serie A table with maximum points. So far this season, the Nerazzurri have defended well, and before the game against the Florentines kicked off, they had only conceded one goal all season.

Inter Milan cannot miss out on European football again – Mauro Icardi

The ESPN FC panel weigh in on Inter Milan's hot start to the season and discuss whether or not they can actually win the Scudetto.

ESPN FC's Gab Marcotti reviews all the big storylines from the weekend in the Serie A, including Francesco Totti's 300th goal for AS Roma and Inter Milan's fourth consecutive league win.

Inter have impressive Serie A start but it’s too early to think about title

The ESPN FC panel weigh in on Inter Milan's hot start to the season and discuss whether or not they can actually win the Scudetto.

It was reminiscent of Pedro Troglio's goal against the Soviet Union in the 1990 World Cup held in Italy. Not only for its precision but also in the player that scored it, a no-nonsense South American whose determination overcame style.
Robust functionality is a criticism that has landed at Inter manager Roberto Mancini's door more than once this term as his team has grinded their way through…
