Internazionale has a fine team. Eto,o, Sneijder, Milito, Pandev, Walter Samuel, Lucio, Maicon, Zanetti, Chivo and Julio Cezar are all very much there. Best wishes to Senor Rafael Benitez.

let's face it Rafa is a has been coach,here's a manager that bought a new starting eleven when he was at liverpool and won nothing. I really wish he didn't have to be at inter cos he's going to take them down. Look at the way he left liverpool and then you now have a clueless Roy Hodgson,who oh well just watch!!!

rafa rotates too much and it gets to the players. inter is a team with big name players just like liverpool but they need to play in certain postions even with all the talent...sorry rafa cant handle.

Benitez is not good enough to be Inter coach. i thought he could have look for a middle class club to handle. He buys and sell players without calculation, he enjoys and feels happy when he loses and draws matches. Please morrati start looking for another coach before it will be too late. I know the history Mourinho left there is not the type Benitez can cope with. Really Benitez is an average coach.

I think Benitez would have a tough time proving himself at Inter because he goes to Inter with a different approach to game from Mourinho's. I don't think Inter would come out of this season with any trophy because Italian Serie A on one hand has a very different pattern of football from the English Premiership and if he starts with the way of constantly rotating players, he might end up losing key players at the January transfer window. It also depends on if the Inter President can be patient enough to wait for his experimental lineups to get results.

It would have been difficult for even Mourinho the repeat the season like last season. For Rafa it is out of question. In Liverpool also he was not too good wit mixing players during different competition. There are many cases where he rested several key player in BPL for UCL and hence dropped points.

Quite frankly I have never ever rated Benitez and he seems to be riding on some of the things he acheived at Villareal which was ages ago. At Liverpool he practically killed what talent and drive there was in Gerrard in the sense of letting the team gel and play as it really could, by Benitez constantly chopping and changing, selling key players and buying duds at the absolutely wrong time. Also his attitude that he was always right reaked of an arrogance which someone with many many more trophies should have carried, but not someone like Benitez. Sorry, but I thought he was total dud at Liverpool and has left them a shambles, and now he steps in where Mourinho's every touch turned to gold. His touch seems to just turn to the stuff you find on floor of a pig sty.

To be honest,I think it's too early to predict anything. Mabye Rafa is still trying out team's possibilities,although,as a menager of his calibar,he should be able to recognize,which player is able to play on which position... it's not easy to take any team after Mourinho,let alone current CL winners! Euphoria is still present,expectations are big.
But what every menager needs is a little bit of Mourihno's strictness-if you don't want to listen me,i'll find a player who will.Let's face it – they are not irreplaceable...Media rush will soon be over after Inter's first victory! Forza Nereazzurri!

Honestly,I don't support Rafa's tactics of rotating players in almost all positions plus he keeps changing the team.It just kills the cohesion among the players.According to me,I think AC Milan though they have heavy-legged players will give Inter a run for their money.It's quite possible they might end up trophyless.
