Inter president Massimo Moratti warned his coach Hector Cuper that he will not tolerate further performances like the one at the weekend in which his side were humbled by AC Milan.
Champions League holders Milan won Sunday's derby 3-1 to go joint top of Italy's Serie A, while Inter, five points adrift of their title rivals, dropped to sixth.
"In the first-half we competed well, but we didn't take the initiative and that's where we went wrong," Moratti said on Monday.

"Cuper is there to put things right and cut down on the errors. It's his
task, like any other coach, to understand why the mistakes were made, but now
it can't happen again." Ticketmaster
Despite spending heavily in the summer on new players, Moratti has seen little return on his investment while neighbours Milan have gone from strength to strength.
Milan were crowned European champions and lifted the Italian Cup last year, while Inter finished runners-up in the league and were knocked out in the semi-finals of the Champion League - by their arch rivals. Ticketmaster
Inter last lifted a trophy in 1998 when they won the UEFA Cup.
Cuper is in his
third season at Inter since arriving from Valencia, who he guided to successive
Champions League finals in 2000 and 2001, losing to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich
respectively.
