Subpar Offensive Production Starting to Hinder Inter | OneFootball

Inter hit a low point offensively in the clash with Bayer Leverkusen, as they didn’t have any shot on target. It’s the first time it has happened in three years. The Nerazzurri were seemingly settling for a draw but gave up a late goal.

Per La Gazzetta dello Sport, they had last failed to have an attempt on goal back in February of 2022 in a Champions League bout versus Liverpool. While their results have been sound, their frontline hasn’t been fearsome.

Marcus Thuram has been their lone consistent scorer, while Lautaro Martinez has been up and down, and their deputies, including Mehdi Taremi, whom they landed after a lengthy chase, have brought very little to the table.

While that’s not a surprise for Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa, who have seen the pitch sparingly, Inter were expecting more from the Iranian marksman. He has started in every continental match but has found the target just once. He has yet to do it in Serie A. While Thuram has carried the burden, Martinez has hit the net six times and is way behind schedule relative to his standards. He has squandered major chances too.

Our Take on Inter

The issue is there but it’s a first-word one for now. They have still collectively bagged 34 goals in Serie A, which makes them the second-most prolific side league-wide, and their results haven’t suffered. El Toro isn’t new to multi-month slumps, and they’ll go on a run once he catches fire. It’ll be a problem for other sides since Thuram has gone up a level and his pace seems totally sustainable.
