I think they put in Quaresma's name in there just because they wanted to give him a bad rating. Poor thing. And he hasn't looked bad at all when he has come on in recent games.

I am not sure if I would give Motta a B, they have taken the entire season into consideration and IMO he has played really well only against Chelsea, Livorno and may be the initial Milan derby where he got a goal. Other than that he has either been injured or just plain poor.

Btw, did any of you see the boxing match between Moyes and Mancini in the Man City-Everton game?

APPIANO GENTILE - All of José Mourinho's players took part in the first training session ahead of Saturday evening's Serie A Week 31 match away to Roma.

Those who played most of last night's victory over Livorno did light training while the rest of the squad peformed possession drills and played some tactical practice games after a warm-up.

Have you guys ever seen this on Inter.it? Probably my first time in 15 years.

Considering we should have the entire squad available for Roma and Milito, Lucio, Samuel, Sneijder, Cambiasso (60mins) have all been rested/rotated/slightly injured, Mou's got some tough choices to make. We should be looking to win this game but it's not really us who have to make up points so I don't want to see a gung-ho style of attack with the 4-2-1-3. The diamond will suit this game perfectly and most importantly, I want to see Eto'o centrally because of his current form. The only position I'm iffy about is Stankovic since he hasn't been in good form but I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. Sneijder should be doing the same job on Pizza that he did on Pirlo.

Cesar; Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Zanetti; Stankovic, Cambiasso, Motta, Sneijder; Milito, Eto'o.

Inter Duo Mario Balotelli And Wesley Sneijder In Doubt For Decisive Roma Clash - Report
The Nerazzurri stars may miss the match, but for different reasons...

Inter may be without two of their top players as they travel to Roma for a potentially crucial Serie A contest on Saturday, according to Rai Sport.

Wesley Sneijder was forced to miss the 3-0 win over Livorno with a muscle problem in his right leg, and has yet to recover. The medical staff will determine whether the midfielder will be available against the Giallorossi following tomorrow's training session.

Meanwhile, Mario Balotelli's exclusion from the line-updoes not look like it will come to an end as his problems with coach Jose Mourinho continue. Should he be omitted from the squad, it will be the fifth consecutive match he has missed.

Roma are four points behind the Nerazzurri and a victory at the Stadio Olimpico would see them pull within one point of their league-leading rivals.

Mario Balotelli Speeds Away From Inter After Failed Peace Talks With Jose Mourinho - Report
It was supposed to be a reconciliation attempt, but it turned into another disagreement...

Inter striker Mario Balotelli has sped away from Appiano Gentile after peace talks with Jose Mourinho failed, according to Sky Sport Italia.

What was supposed to be a resolution meeting turned out to be anything but as the coach and player couldn't reach a peace agreement over their recent tension.

Balotelli was seen speeding out of the Appiano Gentile training ground at 11:40CET while the rest of the squad continued preparations ahead of tomorrow's Roma showdown.

Inter will travel to the capital at 14:00CET, and it's likely at this stage that Balotelli will be excluded from the squad again.

The club is expected to officially announce the coach's selection later, and speculation rising from Milan suggests Balotelli's failure to apologise has cost him his place.

It will be the fifth successive time the striker has been left out for disciplinary reasons, and there are fears spreading around the local media that he will be frozen out until the end of term.

Inter: Balotelli fuori da convocati
www.raisport.rai.it

Fra i 21 scelti da Mou contro la Roma anche Sneijder e Milito

MILANO, 26 MAR- Mourinho ha escluso ancora una volta Mario Balotelli dalla lista dei convocati dell'Inter. Contro la Roma recuperano Sneijder e Milito. Balotelli resta fuori per la quinta volta di fila, la quarta per motivi disciplinari. Milito e' invece uno dei quattro attaccanti convocati da Mourinho, assieme a Samuel Eto'o, Goran Pandev e Marko Arnautovic. Fra i convocati non c'e' Davide Santon, che si sottoporra' a una visita specialistica al ginocchio a Barcellona.

Sneijder's in the squad so he'll most likely be starting this game. Balotelli is out once again which is the best decision imo; the last thing we need is this sort of distraction and it's easier to get rid of a bit-time player than the coach. I'll now be very surprised if he's still with us next season.

I still think there's a decent chance Mou could go with the 4-2-1-3 and just sit back and wait for the counter. I hope it doesn't happen but we can't rule it out yet imo.

If Sneijder can play, Mou will start him.
