Mehdi Taremi @ Inter Milan Season 2024/2025

[Clockwork]

I'm sad. That was the shot of a rusty low confidence striker. He has to get his head back in the game and forget that miss.

[PrinceAli]

He won’t get an easier opportunity than that. Really bad miss. Fans won’t be easy on him for that

[FeLFeL]

When you don't tuck those kinds of chances away in a game like this, it kills your confidence even more, and he only has himself to blame

[Clockwork]

Game isn't over yet. Feels like there can be another goal.

Inter is sitting on a goldmine if they play Taremi to his strength. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, in my view he’s done very well in this game. Confidence will bring him goals, he’s already proven a Master of Assists.

Every game that passes for a striker without scoring adds to him being classified as a dud this season. He’s had plenty of starts at this point. From a scoring standpoint he is not at this level. His passing play, work rate, and movement are at this level. Hence why things are going the way they are.

The biggest losers are porto who turned down tens of millions of euro for this finished player.

He was much more involved after Martinez came on.

Before that he was invisible with the exception of the assist off that ball gifted to him. Both offensively and defensively uninvolved and unable to get in a good position to receive the ball.

Hopefully hitting the post doesn't get to his head, he needs to keep trying.

Just got around watching the highlights,
Oh man, he’s gotta finish that one V one
Defender did well to close that angle, but he had a lot more time to run with the ball and force the keeper to commit but more to near post before sliding it into empty net
Typical of a low confidence striker finish, rushed it a bit ..! :/
beside that , how was his overall performance anyways?

Overall its the same as how he's always has been: excellent defensively, good press, good passing and vision, and gave a few nice passes to his teammates but they couldn't finish (besides the one Arna scored). He missed a 1v1 with the keeper when it was time for him to score though. It seems like he's losing his confidence in his own finishing, there are times he could have just shot the ball himself but he erred on the side of a safe pass to a teammate

He made the assist and he hustled and did very good work up front minus the post he hit.

It wasnt as bad as the Jonestown reaction our members on this forum have.

His positioning, pressing, and passing are good, maybe even great. and I think he had a decent game overall today. But again, when you've been in a goal scoring slump, you HAVE to tuck the easy ones away to break the slump. that's what separates average & good finishers, and he's actually been a below average finisher so far at Inter but we all know he's better than that

گفتم که قفلش کردن
he is done as finisher!

Good analysis.

I love Mehdi but we all know finishing is his Achilles heal. He does everything else so well. If he were a good finisher, he'd be a top 10 forward in the world.

Have a die hard Inter Italian colleague and he said fans are really disappointed at him and finding his finishing very amateurish and don’t understand why Inter got him!
i don’t blame them! Imagine a foreign striker join PP or eses and score one goal in over 800 min!
