Inter Milan made clear their intention to retain the Serie A title, drubbing AC Milan 4-0 Saturday in a city derby that the Devils played for the most part with 10 men.
Brazilian Thiago Motta and Argentine Diego Milito, two arrivals from Genoa, had already put Inter up two goals when Gennaro Gattuso was sent off with a second yellow card.
A third goal sank the Devils' hopes before the break as Brazil defender Douglas Maicon beat Marco Storari off a Milito assist.
The win was secured in a matter of 15 minutes through an impressive display of offensive power that made Inter fans forget the embarrassing 1-1 home draw against promoted Bari that they had to watch a week earlier.
Milan had produced a good pressing in the first 20 minutes, threatening with a spurt from Frenchman Mathieu Flamini, while Brazilian Ronaldinho misfired off a precious feed from his fast compatriot Pato.
A further threat forced Inter's Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar to slap a dangerous cross to prevent Marco Borriello's close-range flick, but Inter gradually improved their game and secured the outcome before the break.
Motta opened the scoring on 29 minutes, stunning Storari with a classy volley off a piercing assist from Milito, who on 36 minutes converted a spot kick after Gattuso floored Samuel Eto'o as he headed for the goal off a long Maicon feed.
Inter's win was virtually secured 10 minutes later with the dismissal of Gattuso, who received a second yellow card for downing Dutch newcomer Wesley Sneijder.
With Milan on the ropes, Brazil defender Lucio had a tight-angle shot blocked by Storari before Maicon's third goal off yet another great assist from Milito.
There was little thrill in a second half that saw Inter control the game and beef up their tally through a
smashing long-range shot drilled by Serb Dejan Stankovic in the top right corner.
Its 11 vs 10(evev when 11 vs 11 we are pretty much pork shit),Some players looks a bit lost,Pirlo was not the creative head he always be,Borriello is stuck in upfront,Ronnie shows his unconsistant display once again.Flamini is the reason to smile for our midfield.The central defend lead by Nesta and Thiago looks steady but Janku is bullshitting out there on the pitch,perhaps now the baldie is starting to regret his decision to not buying any wingback this transfer season,Leonardo's early worries have come true thats his demand for Berlu to get a rock solid attacking wingbacks,as usual Berlu will deny his request and this first 2 match peformence by the wingbacks is a total disgrace.Theres a weakness in Milan's squad and no doubt about that but the 4-0 beating is a NIGHTMARE but if i can give a comfort word to us,i'll say we lose because Gattuso wasn't there(bad comforting words).2nd match and its the early sign of the bad beating to come through out the season.Pray for the last minutes buy Milanista.

waaaaaaaaaaaaa......
Like you said Acu,its the lack of creativity and pace that makes us look silly out there against inter.
We will bounce back? Are you guys Convice?
The flank doesn't work properly,Inter in other hand have a superior pace on the flank,with ibra we beat them.Without ibra they crush us to the floor face first.
well...we will bounce back..no worries...
