Review
A very solid road win for us. Who else to score but my Italian forwards who have been outstanding, Insigne and Destro. As a really great coach once said, "Pass it to the Italians." Defensively we also looked solid, and perhaps most importantly Lorenzo Crisetig played very well in the holding role as a deeper lying player.

PSG 0-2 Inter

Poli, Coutinho, Ademilson

Match
Destro (8, 70)

Man of the Match
Ranocchia

Review
Yet another solid away win for the Nerazzurri. Mattia Destro yet again scored twice, he looks just as amazing as last season, and hopefully he can continue to score at this brilliant rate. Our defenders also had outstanding games, and Lucas Digne had a good debut.

Inter 2-0 Roma

ter Stegen; Peruzzi, Ranocchia (c), Bellusci, Pereira; Sissoko, Maher, Poli; Sterling, Insigne, Destro

Crisetig, Gautier, Coutinho

Match
Destro (16)
Insigne (70)

Man of the Match
Peruzzi

Review
To be perfectly honest, Roma gave this game to us. The team from the capital gave us quite some trouble at times and held their own very well, and we struggled to break them down. However, their defenders made 2 individual errors and my strike force was ready to pounce and we stole the 3 points that coming into the match I thought would be much easier to claim.

Inter 5-0 Catania

Serie A

Starting XI (4-1-2-1-2)
ter Stegen; Mbaye, Luiz, Bellusci, Digne; Crisetig (c); Gautier, Sissoko; Maher; Insigne, Ademilson

Substitutions
Digne, Maher, Insigne
Pereira, Coutinho, Destro

Match
Ademilson (17, 63, 68, 74)
Insigne (59)

Man of the Match
Ademilson

Review
Well, this was a one man show, but not the one man you'd be expecting. With an important match against Juventus coming up to close out the month, I opted to rest Destro and give Ademilson his third appearance and only his first start of the season, and he has given me a right selection dilemma for Turin by banging in a massive 4 goals. I can't wait to watch this battle for the spots up top unfold between my top class strikers.

Serie A

Out to a perfect start in Serie A but Juventus are only 2 points behind, and the trickiest game of the season is next as we play the Bianconeri in Turin. It is still early days in the campaign but it is my philosophy that you need to start well to set the standard for the season.

UEFA Champions League

Early days in the group stage as well, but now we've won the hardest game of the group, away to PSG, and that puts us in the driver's seat in the group. Our upcoming match after Juventus is hosting Sion, which should be a very easy win if we stay focused.

Player of the Month

Mattia Destro wins player of the month this time around after yet another fantastic month. His tally is now 8 goals in 6 matches, a Messi-like rate of scoring. If he keeps this up we are in for another 40+ goal season, and maybe even 50!

Monthly Review

Overall, this was absolutely the perfect month for us. We scored 12 goals and conceded a brilliant 0 goals in 4 matches, all of which we won. Mattia Destro and Lorenzo Insigne have been in top notch form, and Ademilson has taken his chances as phenomenally as possible. Every facet of the team is working like a perfectly oiled machine, and I can only hope this form keeps up for the remainder of the season.
